I gave a #sotmeu talk yesterday about OpenStreetMap notes. I'll write it out as a blog post soon, but for now these are the things I was showing: https://harrywood.co.uk/maps/notes/

Back in the "Duke's Corner" studenty bar for more #sotmeu after-party geobeers!

Jochen Topf's OSM spyglass gives you everything everywhere all at once! https://codeberg.org/jot/osm-spyglass

The brilliant Robert Whittaker @rjw62 presenting his "Survey Me" tool https://osm.mathmos.net/survey which brings together bugs data from his other various tools, to show things which are good to fix while out and about in the UK. Must remember to use this. #sotmeu

Sarah Hoffman develops the #OpenStreetMap search system "Nominatim". She's leading a discussion with the UK mapping community at #sotmeu (and prompting much laughter) with the question: "How can we organise tagging of boundary data in the UK, in a way where I *don't* need to understand

On the Caledonian Sleeper, on my way to #sotmeu ! I'll have to wake up in time to disembark at 06:11. Not sure what I'll be able to do in Dundee at that time of day. Any suggestions? A cafe breakfast would be ideal, but it's a bit early for that.

It's going to burst! 😬

Sometimes it's wise to look at the weather and decide *not* to go out on a walk. #StormAmy

I'm getting better at coding with AI. This time it only took me about 45 minutes before I realised I needed to ask this:

I find it super annoying when my password manager generates a nice secure password, and it gets rejected. Today I'm setting "My Sky" account password. ...and then figuring out by trial & error which character isn't allowed, since the error message is useless (Answer: it doesn't like the

I didn't think it was possible in London due to the humans-to-blackberries ratio, but we got a big crop of them today while out with the kids in Hampstead Heath ("Extension"). Blackberry & apple pie is in the oven!

Hungover in Liverpool again

Deploying tin foil climate mitagations

It's too hot in London. But I shouldn't complain. This party entertainer yesterday put in a solid two hours of jumping around with the kids in the sun while dressed in a hulk outfit. Oof! 🥵
