Oh my god I'm going to make some software so that only I know it and that you don't know it.

Heh, I actually do use QGIS for work though! I even taught a lab module for an undergrad course about natural hazards using QGIS last year, and this semester as well (though we might switch to ArcGIS instead - gonna have to settle on that pretty soon)

Luc, if every time I learn a new computer skill I find out that you mastered it when you were twelve, we're eventually going to just start assigning you all of the work instead of just 90% of it.

Good idea on those plugins!  I'll see if it helps me tweak this.

WHEREAS a new survey of the national territory, made to produce a wall map of the Kingdom, has traced every boundary in Lexh.K.1 on the ground and found a big bundle of small issues, and

WHEREAS none of this is meant to move any border from where the Kingdom has always understood it to be, only to make the law describe it correctly,

THEREFORE, the Ziu hereby amends El Lexhatx as follows:

1. In Lexh.K.1.6, "E Wisconsin St" is amended to read "E Wisconsin Ave".

2. Lexh.K.1.7 is amended in its entirety to read:

Quote1.7. Las Înaltàns Maxhéstici - boundaries are, clockwise from the north-west: E Wisconsin Ave, from the River to N Prospect Ave; thence along N Prospect Ave to E Mason St; thence along E Mason St to N Lincoln Memorial Drive; thence along N Lincoln Memorial Drive southward to the point where it diverges from Interstate 794 (the Lake Freeway); thence along Interstate 794 southward, across the Hoan Bridge, to the River; thence along the River back to E Wisconsin Ave.

3. In Lexh.K.1.13, "E Wisconsin St" is amended to read "E Wisconsin Ave".

4. In Lexh.K.1.14, "the southern boundary of Dun Cestour" is amended to read "the southern boundary of Dún Cestour".

5. Lexh.K.1.15 is amended in its entirety to read:

Quote1.15. Port Maxhestic - Boundaries are the Sea to the east; the River to the south; to the west, the eastern boundary of Majestic Heights, being N Lincoln Memorial Drive south from E Mason St to the point where it diverges from Interstate 794, and thence Interstate 794 across the Hoan Bridge to the River; and the south boundary of Maritiimi to the north.

6. In Lexh.K.1.16, the words "thence along E Water Tower Road in its entirety; thence directly across N Lincoln Memorial Drive to the unmarked road at the southern edge of the carpark; thence following that unmarked road to a point due east of the southern end of E Water Tower Road; thence due east to the Sea." are amended to read:

Quotethence along E Water Tower Road in its entirety to its southern end; thence due east to the Sea, crossing N Lincoln Memorial Drive and following the access road at the southern edge of the Bradford Beach carpark.

7. In Lexh.K.1.17, "Vuode' " is amended to read "Vuode".

8. A new section, Lexh.K.1.18, is added, reading:

Quote1.18. For the purposes of this Title and of the national boundaries, the River ends and the Sea begins at the mouth of the Milwaukee River channel, on a line drawn across the mouth of the channel joining the shores of the harbour on either side of it, between the Summerfest grounds and Jones Island.

9. Lexh.F.12.7 is amended to read:

Quote12.7. The Maritiimi-Maxhestic Capitol Building -- The Milwaukee County War Memorial Center (on N Lincoln Memorial Drive)

10. Nothing in this Act moves any boundary of any Province. To the extent any part of it could be read as altering a provincial border, that part shall take effect only with the consent of the Province or Provinces in question, as Org.IX.1 requires.

That's so neat, congrats! If you want to tweak the basemap further, I suggest the plugin NextGIS QuickMapServices for a bunch of alternative OpenStreetMap styles and many more providers. QuickOSM is also a plugin I use to grab objects off OSM, if you want to actually edit the individual geometries.

Some new places to display could be Clark's Print Shop/Graphics and Gay House, and I'm sure there's more!

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 03:08:37 PMActually, you know what?  I think this is a great lesson.  Breneir wants to make a bargain.  We told him no, but he's already shown that he can't understand what that means. 

But since right now he's just an offender who really doesn't seem to understand that "no means no," it's maybe more important that he start learning.

So when the time comes, I will publicly announce:

QuoteBreneir Tzaracomprada sexually harassed another citizen.  No one deserves to be treated this way -- there is nothing more important than the safety of our citizens.  After being confronted with his behavior, Breneir spent a year refusing to apologize in a real way, but eventually acquiesced.  For most of us, this wasn't enough to begin to treat him like any other citizen.  It was too hard to forget that he'd hurt someone else or that he didn't really seem to care.

However, Breneir has now resigned from the Cosa and has undertaken an educational course.  These are both good first steps to show that he wants to begin to learn and change his behavior.  Everyone deserves to be safe and not feel like being in our public square might make them a possible target.  We hope that, if he decides to remain a citizen, that this is becomes a chance for him to start a new chapter of his time here.

That's a nice poison pill you present. I, having some self respect, choose not to take it. When you are serious about this I will be ready, Alexandreu. In the meantime this thread will be proof of your intent to draw this out even longer than it needs to.

lol, thank you. I'm pretty happy with it.

After we're done, I'll also make publicly available the QGIS info, the Inkscape file, and a maximum-resolution file.

I'd like to make the map available on Talossaware, although that might require some fiddling, but people can just download it and have it printed out locally, too.

I'll get a bill together at some point with the things I noticed.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 02:36:39 PMI promise you that exactly no one was shocked that you found an excuse to avoid these steps towards rehabilitation.  We could easily leave a permanent note in La C'hronica for each month which reads, "This month, Breneir found a reason to avoid confronting the consequences of his actions."

Alexandreu, seriously if you wanted me out of the Ziu and to take the course then a simple statement is not much to do. You are this close to getting rid of me but have decided that taking a hard line (suddenly) on joint statements is more important. If I wanted to "avoid the consequences" of my actions then simply leaving Talossa would probably have been the move so that is a silly line. You can do better than that. :)
