I’ve finally crossed something off my todo list, after putting it off for years.

Summary: If you get Python crashing immediately in BirdNetPi, try uninstalling the pyarrow Python package.

There has been a long gap between posts (again!)

Welcome to anyone coming here from April Cools!

A friend was using GDAL’s ogr2ogr command to import some data to PostGIS recently, and as part of the import they were doing a reprojection of the data.

Some data analysis I’ve done has been featured in the Financial Times today – see this article (the link may not work any more unless you have a FT subscription – sorry).

I don’t seem to have time or energy for long posts these days, but here’s another quick post which might save you some time and frustration.

A Discord server I use has a channel called #til, standing for Today I Learned.

I really haven’t got much time or energy at the moment (I spent most of the Christmas break with an extremely painful back, which was exhausting and frustrating), but I wanted to post a very brief list of books I read this year.

I’ve got into a bit of a habit of writing occasional posts with links to interesting things I’ve found (probably because it’s a relatively easy blog post to write).
