screenshot of trails of 60 walks around the Kilpatrick braes. Side by side one with no background the other with the map.
60 walks at Kilpatrick Muir I saw this map made by Amanda Thompson, @passingplace & though I might repurpose some of my walk maps. With a little help from leaflet & examples I made the above from 60 gpx tracks. The most tedious part was exporting the tracks from Trails, 1 by 1!

Read: The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel 📚★★★★★
Amazing multi viewpoint story. Writing had me invested in each of the diverse characters as they came into focus. Then their stories slowly fitted together. Beautiful. Really catches the way people imagine different lives.

Quite a few smaller dragonflies & damselflies around Ardinning today. Nice sunny morning, autumn feels close, bracken & heather turning.

I’ve been blogging & thinking about software in education for a while. One of the biggest changes in what I read has been the increase in out of the box solutions & a decrease in bending things in unexpected ways. I am more interested in the latter. See Folk Interfaces

Read: Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan 📚 ★★★★★
A beautiful wee book that drew me in quietly & has stuck in my mind. Ireland 1985, A gentle slightly troubled man digs deep. “Hunters in the Snow” on the cover seems fitting as the village approaches a snowy Christmas.

Random Street View – images from all over the world.

Marvellous! Does what it says on the tin. I found a great one on Eigg that seemed to be from a hill track. Couldn’t get the share link to work though.

Badger 2040

I just got a Badger 2040 on a bit of a whim.

A hackable, programmable badge with E Ink® display, powered by Raspberry Pi RP2040.

I’ve only followed the basic tutorials so far & don’t know python but I think this could be an interesting wee device.
