mastodon.social/@gvwilson/1140…
Looking for someone (very) familiar with the TopoJSON data format to do some (paid) extraction and reformatting work. Feels like one of those "straightforward if you know what you're doing, hellride if you don't" kinds of jobs.Mastodon
Today I worked out that the UK would nearly fit 1:1 scale on a sheet of A-39 paper.
