@janellecshane I got your book! Actually I asked my wife nicely to grab it from the book store in DIA as she was passing through.. It has been a fun read so far!
So.. #gis nerds behold. I have gotten a Perl script to kick out WKT of hexagons across a lat/long bounding box at whatever size in meters I tell it to and dump them into a database.
It was fast at 10 mile bin size, a little slower at 1 mile, but I just dropped it to 9 meters (over about 1/6 of the CONUS) and it has slowed down in creation... but it will get done and won't crash like QGIS did when I attempted the same thing with their python script.
Then the actual fun on binning millions of points to these geometries and making pretty colors!

However I do not know if I could keep up with my pocket peeps anymore, my handset is my exclusive gateway into masto. I mean clearly I can prune down what I do and do not have installed, but clearly distraction control seems to be the point, or at least a major sub-plot.

OK #thinkpad fans, time to learn your lore of the TrackPoint. The chonky lappy is vintage 1994ish.
Piracy, humor
The medium with which you choose to pirate media is like rings on a tree, it defines when you chose to engage in such activities and really when you may have become proficient using the internet.

Haha just kidding, I didn't get to wade through my stream yesterday so now I'm like 4 days behind.
I might have to take drastic measures.
