    interesting old book i found.

    Just gave it a try... my POS scanner is almost 20 years old, I have to use my 10 year old laptop with it. But it chugged along scanning at 1200 DPI and they look pretty good. But there are a bunch of other scans to do and the georeferencing/stitching will take awhile, so I'll just see how it...

    interesting old book i found.

    I have a copy of that. But mine is a 1977 paperback re-print from the Ocean County Historical Society that was limited to 500 copies, found it in a junk shop many years ago. It's a rather small book that's printed in a tiny little font that's quite difficult to read and also written in an...

    Paying a subscription fee for heated seats? Really????

    Wind Advisory

    Wow - six tornadoes in New Jersey! And they are investigating another possible one in Mays Landing, which is uncomfortably close to me. I was not even in the tornado warning zone on the radar.( I have removed the PA and DE reports below to only include the NJ tornadoes)...

    Billy-bob goes hunting

    When he went there, it was literally his turn in the barrel. ;)

    Introducing Boyds Map of the Pines XT

    One thing you could do, if you also want the option to turn everything on sometimes, is set it up that way in Chrome. Each browser has its own set of preferences, so you can set them differently.

    Introducing Boyds Map of the Pines XT

    Found a bug - in the preferences, the buttons for Natural Heritage and Historical were mixed up. If you turned off Natural Heritage, it stayed on while Historical Features was actually turned off and vice-versa. That has been fixed. :)

    Introducing Boyds Map of the Pines XT

    Think that's fixed now. You might have the usual cache issues if it doesn't change for you. Here's what it looks like now in Edge on Windows. The issue might be that it allocates room for a scroll bar, even though none is needed.

    Introducing Boyds Map of the Pines XT

    Makes sense. But - ugh - the header is messed up also in the Windows version of Edge. But fine in the Mac version of Edge, WTF is it with Microsoft? :argh: This is what it should look like.

    Introducing Boyds Map of the Pines XT

    Was just looking BTW, and the site is very slow for me in Edge on Windows. I am running it in a Virtual Machine, so that might be an issue but I wouldn't expect it to be (I do lots more demanding things than that in a VM). It might be that Edge or Windows is downloading some update or whatever...

    Heading out for awhile, hopefully it will be OK in the meantime. :)

    Introducing Boyds Map of the Pines XT

    Could use some more tweaking, looks ugly with the scroll bar, but it should fit now. In doing this, it messed things up on the Mac for me :bang: but I think that's fixed now.

    Introducing Boyds Map of the Pines XT

    That's interesting, should be an easy fix (famous last words). Everything should fit without scrolling, this is what it looks like in the Mac version of Edge. But I also get your same issue in the Windows version. Does it work properly in Chrome or Firefox? (does on the Mac)

    GM is phasing out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    Built-in GPS system. There can be a big variation in the quality of those, I really know nothing about them. In the past, there were many complaints where the company failed to provide updated maps or charged something outrageous. I think they have gotten better in the past few years. Android...

    GM is phasing out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    It's going to be hard to avoid that going forward. They have systems similar to OnStar (does that even still exist?) for emergency assistance and also to automatically report mechanical/maintenance problems. Of course, law enforcement likes it, because they can automatically shut your vehicle...

    GM is phasing out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    With many automakers increasing support, this is rather surprising IMO. Good luck with that, as you can see from the comments, it's not being received very well but that's what I'd expect from a site like MacRumors. I didn't like the wired carplay on my old car, but the new one has wireless...

    Introducing Boyds Map of the Pines XT

    Another thing you could try is turning off some datasets. That speeds things up and uses less memory behind the scenes, because the data maps are aren't loaded or initialized when they are turned off. I like to think of the sidebar as a "kennel" with nine cages, and when data is flashing across...

    Introducing Boyds Map of the Pines XT

    Cool. But seriously, post a link when you see a problem. As I've said, this is still in the experimental stage and I want to make it as robust as possible. I'm sure there are also some outright errors in the "child" parcels, that part was hard. Check the child against the parent like this and...

    Introducing Boyds Map of the Pines XT

    :guinness:Just had some pizza and a beer, heading out for a little walk now. Post a link of any problems that you find and I'll take a look. I can say, however, that it works best if you go "low and slow" - zoom in and move the map slowly to see the most accurate data. Your screenshots don't...
