Since I’ve noticed that I mostly blog about data and computer topics, I thought it was time to balance things out a bit.

Thanks to Atanas and Keith Jenkins I learned recently that older versions of QGIS have dogs on their splash screens (the screen when QGIS is loading).

Even though I am not a system admin, I work frequently in remote or virtual computers other than my desktop, and Ubuntu default terminal requires me to have my username, hostname, and full directory path in my prompt … whiiich tends to be a bit lengthy!

I like GitHub (GH) but it seems like a good idea to learn about what other software forges are out there… !

I have been reading and enjoying The Little Schemer!

Like a lot of organizations, my team uses databases (DB) to organize and centralize data.

With John Hall we wrote a blog post about moving a table from postgres to a parquet file using duckdb.

I wrote a blog post about using jq for filtering geojson.

The Mapscaping Podcast is a great podcast in the “geospatial” space.

I am doing some basic maths.

I was a bit intimidated to contribute to OSM and it took me time to do it.

I know that I should not bother too much about some meme and just enjoy them like some cheap beer (yes, I enjoy cheap beer) but I would like to react to this one: /rant on Where am I?

This little text below is from a reply I posted to issue.

I use Overpass Turbo a lot and every time, I rediscover new amazing stuff to do with it.

Recently, someone posted a question on Linkedin about sampling along some lines.

Thanks to SIST and the financial support of my lab, I was able to attend a training course on Sensor Observation Services (SOS) with one of my coworkers.

I collect tree data sets and here are some links to open data from France.
