Although I have a PhD in inorganic chemistry the majority of my professional career has been in Environmental analysis using GIS. In particulary I started in the '80s using a product called Arc/Info on command line driven Prime mini computers.
That Ferry photo was actually taken yesterday afternoon. And the Sunny weather continues this Sunday. So much for Seattle being the rainy city although some mild precipitation is hinted at by the Windy app for later this week.
Edmonds ferry about to leave. I’m trying to get daily walk in here at the Marina on this rather brisk late afternoon. P

I’m still getting used to all of the features on my Apple Watch after more than a year of owning it. And of course there’s a new one on the market that I’m not the least tempted by.
I’m looking forward to seeing (and hearing) Mike Delamont this evening at the Edmonds Center for the Arts. The show is called God is a Scottish Drag Queen and comes with excellent reviews. http://www.mikedelamont.com/

If you want to see Mastodon at its best, strongly recommend these options:

 Android - Use apps Tusky or Fedilab

  iPhone/iPad - Use apps Metatext or Toot!

💻 Computers - Log in through your server's website

Mastodon was designed for websites and third party apps. These are *still* the best ways to use Mastodon!

(Official app exists because new people were only looking for an official app in app stores, and giving up when they didn't find one. You don't need to use it!)

And so I’ve just turned on the automatic posting of these posts in Micro.blog to my Mastodon instance which I’ve only started using in the last couple of days.
Continuing the watch "The Crown". I'm quite fascinated by this show.
@hollie I just mentioned this, so sorry for anyone seeing it multiple times, but if you want to check out an instance, go to its address and add /public/local to the url, and you'll see what people there are posting, example: https://journa.host/public/local
