AMAZING FACTS

Your homebrew filament dryer can also be used to dehydrate food if you didn’t homebrew it too much!

(I want to make a particular kind of spinach feta bread but I have to dry a bunch of spinach first ^_^ )

Okay so not long after posting this:

https://mastodon.murkworks.net/@moira/112424660059816859

I got a question asking "why are the Seattle lines green" and the answer is "because that's the colour set they use on their map" but the real answer is "I need to include enough of their legend for it to make sense."

So now I have.

If you downloaded it before around 8:40pm Saturday May 11, you might grab the new copy if you want the Seattle legend included too.

Well I didn't get any corrections (but found a small one of my own) so the re-implementation of the Greater Northshore Connector Bike Map - now with slightly more map height, contrast, and more easily seen lines - has dropped. Enjoy!

Go to:

https://github.com/solarbirdy/NorthshoreBikeMap/

and pick the Greater Northshore map.

Or if you don't mind .jpg and a little chopped off the bottom I guess you could just grab the preview here, it's at full resolution, just compressed a little and some of the bottom removed to fit.

strange goings-on are afoot on the montlake lid construction site cams

Camera 1 showing what may be some sort of weaved material, very blurry, and lit from the other side.
Camera 2 showing... honestly it's hard to tell. Maybe a weaved pattern but it's hard to say what's on the other side of it.

i am eepy partly because hot

and also because despite that i biked to seattle electric bikes in bothell and #bothell ski and bike in #kenmore and told them about my maps and showed them small versions and once they finally accepted that i really wasn't trying to sell them anything they were really into it

like me they are sick of having no king county bike map and here i walk in with half of one

seattle electric bikes in bothell was even "we would pay you for these" but i know i can't break even doing that so said "just go to fedex"

Whelp, here's a second proofing release of the vector-graphics based map re-implementation.It's substantially finished now I think? I made a couple of very small path corrections since the last proofing release and this one has text copy and icons and a legend.

If anyone's up for helping me verify it against the last bitmap release, that'd be appreciated. That version is as always at https://github.com/solarbirdy/NorthshoreBikeMap/

texas has so many places named "major"

moira, 13 days ago to cycling

I've been over this a couple of times - anybody feel like doing a proofing pass vs. the released map? Or just against reality for that matter?

Here's the released version made with bitmap tools:

https://github.com/solarbirdy/NorthshoreBikeMap/

The new vector graphics version is attached. Note it does NOT yet have icons or text or even a legend. Note also the "fuzzy line" to indicate difficult or marginal trails has been changed to a "pattern line" which I think is more legible at more sizes - particularly when printed when the difference is pretty stark.

Thanks!

one section of infrastructure at a time, the vector-based redraw continues

I was really pleased with this cleanup filtering until I noticed what it was doing with diagonal roads. :(

(Yes, this is part of the #BikeMap redo project with better tools. I'm also taking the opportunity to improve the background King County map.)

Nothing like hanging the thing and just looking at it to make you think about what needs addressing

(Yes this is the previous, narrow version - not the absolute latest. it’s what I have printed out.)

I decided it was kind of rude to cut off discovery park so I widened the workspace to put it back on

and that also gave me the space to add back the west seattle bridge detail so I did that too

and a little cleanup why not

anyway it's 722x656mm or roughly 28.5"x26" now at intended print resolution (300 dpi because that's a standard here)

I really think and hope I'm done with this version, now that I know this thing has legs I'm kinda like "whelp now time to do it over again with proper tools" so that maintenance will be easier and alignment won't be such a bear and a half
