  1. Hardcopy of the 2nd Edition of the book - Concepts, Software, Applications has arrived! Happy to have a chapter about and in the book and to have contributed to the general software chapter. Great to be in the book with colleagues from , and others. More info: shop.elsevier.com/books/geomor

  3. Went to go teach a workshop yesterday. The good news is - might have gotten a client. All participants went "QGIS is fun to use". Bad news is - I'm old. I knew 7 people in this group. It has changed as it should. So it's time for me to fade into the background.

  4. I do actually have a plan for all those random books I've collected from little free libraries and am adding to my #BookWyrm account at @[email protected] - I want to use them as #ttrpg #worldbuilding inspiration for a custom fantasy world.

    But before I can start with that, I need to do some setup work first (and I am _definitely_ not going to do that before I have finally published my current book manuscript - there have been too many distractions already).

    My big idea is to a combined wiki/interactive map system like they have at the #Pathfinder wiki. See here for the wiki:

    pathfinderwiki.com/

    and here for the map:

    map.pathfinderwiki.com/

    Now, I've created wikis before and I have drawn maps before. However, for project this I have to delve into #QGIS , and _that's_ something I need to learn from the beginning. (And I _do_ want a true 3D model for the world, using #GIS information).

    Once I have set this up, I use all the books I have to come up with new locations and add them to both the wiki and the map at the same time. But first, I need to learn _how_ to do this and set it up.

    So if you know of any good tutorials for QGIS for this purpose - i.e. _not_ using for conveying real world information, but building a fantasy world from the ground up - then feel free to point them my way.

  5. A terrain view (top) and it's labels (bottom). The soundtrack is a noisy laptop whirring away rendering the top view under the bottom labels :D

    ...not *quite* ready to take the 3D view screenshot and layout/label in inkscape path just yet... almost though.

  10. #30DayMapChallenge Day 19: Projections 🍊🌍

    Ever tried peeling an orange and laying it flat? It cracks apart, just like the Earth when we project it onto a map.

    So today I made a world map out of orange peel, styled in a polar stereographic projection. Made in #QGIS with #NaturalEarth data.
