New blog post: Accessing Planetary Computer STAC files in DuckDB - see blog.rtwilson.com/accessing-plan… I struggled a bit with authentication and had to use some extra libraries, but got it working :) #geospatial #python #duckdb #PlanetaryComputer

New blog post: a load of links - blog.rtwilson.com/a-load-of-link… A load of links I've been meaning to post for ages. Quite a high #geospatial focus, but also some broader ones. Have a look, you might find something interesting! #programming #python #gis #remotesensing

Reading an Environment Agency document as part of my work, and came across this picture from Simon J Dixon's blog - nice to see a link back to my PhD colleagues at Soton. There are also citations to papers from various staff at Soton too.

Looks awesome!

More 3D printing stuff! I've made a model I'm quite proud of, showing how a mechanical signalbox interlocking works (the Victorian-era mechanical 'computer' that stops you setting conflicting routes etc). See makerworld.com/en/models/6555… #railways #signalling #3DPrinting

These are excellent books if you like board games (and even if you don't). Very excited about getting my copy in the post tomorrow!

Happy 26th birthday to GDAL ! From the first commit on 1998-10-17 from a small rural town outside of Ottawa Canada, to almost every geospatial software installation on the planet (and satellites and other planets!) in 26 years. The ultimate example of sharing & community. #foss4g
