Week 775 - Pretty Things

[Jackie Pease]

Each week we'll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you're involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here! The easiest way is to post on Mastodon—if we follow you there, just add #weeknotes to any post you want included. If you’re not on Mastodon but would like to be, chat to one of the organisers and we’ll help you get started. And of course, you can always just send us an email!

Things of Note

• michael:Work #weeknotes: I decided that it wasn't fair that I could see all the point cloud data but I couldn't share it with others, so last week I got the viewer to show another order of magnitude in data and also make it accessible beyond my local machine.https://digitalflapjack.com/weeknotes/point-cloud-allemansr%C3%A4tten/You can play with the result here if you just want the pretty thing:
