One thing I am proud of creating is the #ggseg-universe.
A suite of #rstats packages to plot #brain atlas data.

Its mainly made for inflated cortical surfaces, and contains three main packages:
- ggseg, ggseg3d, ggsegExtra
+ 23 different atlases

I'd opt for building the site on GitHub actions and deploy with netlify, which would allow you to use GitHub secrets for stuff.

I do this for R-Ladies and my own website (though just for previews, as I deploy production site with GitHub pages directly)

Just published my new R article: 'Mapply: When You Need to Iterate Over Multiple Inputs'! 🚀 If `sapply` doesn't quite cut it for your multi-variable iterations, `mapply` is your friend. Learn to pair inputs beautifully. #RStats #Mapply

What kind of problems? I've rendered rmarkdown with positron without issue with the standard keybinding. And whole it calls quarto to render, it still renders RMD.

I mention it briefly in the section on keybindings in positron

we have an 'other' field where you get to add institution that way. I really don't have a great overview of all academic and health research institutions in Norway I'm afraid. But I really hope we manage to catch more broadly this time and to see institutions we didn't hear from before in the respon

We're building a national application for MRI infrastructure in Norway. Help us make a strong case by completing this survey, whether you're a current user or just interested in the field!

A map of Norway showing the distribution of MRI scanners. Four MRI scanners are placed at different locations across the country. The map is overlaid with two shaded areas: a dark blue area representing a 60-minute travel radius that covers 2.471 million people, and a light blue area representing a 120-minute travel radius that covers 3.510 million people. Arrows show that data from these scanners is uploaded to and stored in a central cloud-based server.

Today I got to vote at home. Given my illness, setting aside energy for voting would be hard, despite being ever more important. But i live in a country where when you are ill, you can register to vote from home. Today two women came, and with a locked box, I could cast my vote.

By wife request, my pet project 'Doughnamo' now also has a page to help you create a flour mix of a certain extraction grade given the flours you have at hand!

This is a very fun project to learn some new skills for me, and I hope others enjoy
