Hello. I'm a spatial dev living in Northumberland, England. I love cartography, but know more about webmapping.
I built qgis2web, but after an initial few years of intense development, have let it fall by the wayside.

God dammit. Perfect three-cushion position, but rattled the pot out. Then in-off on my penultimate colour into the same bag. Should've then taken a snooker, but went for a pot with high inside (bad idea), and missed it. Too many errors to deserve a win.

Let myself down after a cracking break. Should've gone for a snooker early on, and still had chances after that. Missed a cut with inside spin and opponent cleared. Dammit.

Never got going tonight against a good player. Kept having to play safe, but couldn't last out. Tried a speculative pot up the side cushion, but potted the white in the opposite middle bag. Never recovered after that.

Archaeologists: D.C. Capitol May Have Once Been Used For Legislating
WASHINGTON—Calling the discovery the “clearest proof yet” of how the U.S. government was originally designed to function, archaeologists published new evidence Thursday that suggests the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., may have once been used for legislating. In their academic paper, the researchers wrote that the sprawling, 540-room marble complex contained conclusive proof that a […]
