@rjhale1971 Mapbox was all the rage. Mapbox was cool. But we were also cool, or at least aspired to be cool. I know I did.
A lot has changed since then.
@rjhale1971 @AtanasE @kgjenkins
i stood at a conference in 2019 and said a bunch of stuff about this.
Unfortunately I was proven wrong :(
@adamsteer @rjhale1971 @AtanasE @kgjenkins
Back when I was big in Japan, Mapbox swag was cool, and they had a skateboard rack in their office

I don't know who Gunderson is, but getting a side eye from any of the big talking heads is worth some kind of award :)
(maybe I'm seen as a big talking head. That'd be weird since I've been fenced out of geo-anything for so long...)
@EvenRouault @adamsteer @rjhale1971 @AtanasE @kgjenkins
I met Eric back when he was running Development Seed from a Washington, DC, condominium that was once a brothel run by an infamous DC madam. Eric had a hilarious story about alligator hunting.
Gundersen is Mapbox CEO.
As for side eye, definitely @IvanSanchez should get an award for being banned to use their maps for the glorious what3fucks location service a few years ago 🤭
BTW archive.org copy still works, yay JavaScript

ai distorts the system too much! Every data centre is located at fucking.arselicker.bullshit, so it's hard to reliably get a fix on where exactly things are...
domain is still registered at a Spanish popular provider if I'm not mistaken 👀

It's been 20 years, we need a geowankers reunion
@sara @EvenRouault @jorgesanz @adamsteer @rjhale1971 @AtanasE @kgjenkins @IvanSanchez
We were so young back then

I'd definitely vote for @IvanSanchez in a side eye award.
And everyone in this chat :) @rjhale1971 @spara @AtanasE @kgjenkins

You do realize all of that is still happening, yes?
This week for example I Was in Dublin 🇮🇪 It was great fun
Attached: 4 images It was a very enjoyable evening last night for the first Geomob Dublin, thanks to everyone who came along. Thank you to Jenny Allen @[email protected] and Dermot McNally for organizing, Digital Hub for hosting us, and OGC and OpenCage @[email protected] for sponsoring 🙏 Here's our recap of the night. #geomobDUB 1/
out of the blue @swarmapp has started bombarding me with "Come back to Placemaker Tools" emails. ah, the glorious days of being mayor of obscure art projects and fire hydrants all over the world. do you suppose they finally figured out that alienating their users leads to stale location data?
I was going to reminisce about Gowalla closing in 2012 but in trying to remember their name Wikipedia tells me they relaunched in 2023!?
@stevenfeldman @kgjenkins @rjhale1971 @freyfogle I went for my regularly-scheduled physical today. The nurse asked me a battery of standard questions, among them whether I've had a recent fall, and whether I am depressed. They never asked this when I was 20.
I am positive that qualifies me for a #GeoOldPhart.
#geoGlobalDomination @IvanSanchez excellent musical performance and OpenGeo rename happened both at FOSS4G Denver in 2011. I attended a pretty bad GeoNode workshop (Instead of going to a football game, shame on me). I had 5 talks to deliver, and a colleague from Chile had an appendicitis surgery between SoTM and FOSS4G.
I mean, it was quite an event 🤣
