So, I've been using Windows with WSL as my main work computer for about 1.5 - 2 years now. Before this, I've used Linux natively (Ubuntu) a few times, but before that - completely Mac only. I still use a M1 MacBook as my side machine.

Using the tool I released yesterday, I made some vector tiles using this data for cross-referencing . tiles.kmproj.com

Just released a tool to import administrative areas / subareas collected as part of the census in Japan to PostGIS: github.com/KotobaMedia/...
The census agency only provides this data per prefecture, so it was bothersome to download all 47 prefectures and merge them.. now you can just use the tool!

Going to try being a bit more active over here. Here are some things I've been working on recently.

So how's everyone liking Apple Intelligence these days? The only thing I use Siri for is to add stuff to the shopping list (and because we live in Japan, it makes sense to do that in Japanese), so I can't use it yet.
