Today playing with OpenLayers and VectorTiles and colours and Javascript and against all odds it's actually doing what I want.

Red/yellow/green coloured map of southern Australia, zooming around and swapping colours.

@jimbob I built a moderately complicated shiny/leaflet app a while ago and was so frustrated with how slow it was.

At the end of the project phase I rebuilt it as a straight leaflet page to give to the client. It was sooo much snappier, realised then I should learn some JS libraries properly.

What drew you to OpenLayers over Leaflet?

Thursday afternoon fun - making isochrones with no value but their blobby sea dragon weirdness!

So what I was really play with in @rstats yesterday was drive time analysis to Canberra's two hospitals - there's a bit of a joke that everywhere in Canberra is only 20 minutes drive away - it's not quite true though...

In the deep south and the new suburbs of the north the drive to the closest hospital is over 30 minutes!

This analysis is by SA1 taking simple centroids - still needs a bit of work, but really enjoying learning how to get openrouteservice working in a docker container on my local computer - definitely woth looking at as an alternative to google or mapbpx

@smach @rstats this looks super handy, feel like I should have used this a lot...

I can't believe it has taken me however many years I've been using @rstats ggsave() to realise... it saves the current size of the "Plots" pane in RStudio (or more generally if I had bothered to ever properly read the help text "using the size of the current graphics device")
