New Codeberg-only {ja4} #RStats package for folks who work with those hashes. Very basic rn, but will add some more bits over time.

For the "boundaries" prompt on day 27 of the #30DayMapChallenge, I mapped the bounding boxes for each of Scotland's 32 council areas
Mapping out how quickly you can get around Edinburgh with different modes of transport for day 26 of the #30DayMapChallenge!

#GreennessOfCalgary
I’ve almost finished it!
I’ve uploaded all eight parts of “The Greenness of Calgary: A Community-Level Atlas (2025). Contrast Color Edition” to #Gumroad
Each part is a separate PDF using the “classic” high-contrast NDVI palette, optimized for visual interpretation of vegetation patterns. (The soft green palette will come later.)
I’ve created a dedicated landing page with descriptions of all releases and download links. Landing page is here: https://datastory.gumroad.com/l/qemrgul
The materials are available under a “pay what you want” model — free or with optional support.
This is my first attempt at publishing geospatial analytical materials in this format. I apologise for some template-like descriptions. I hope this atlas series will be useful for researchers, enthusiasts, and anyone interested in Calgary’s urban ecology.

Ya esta!

It is with great sadness that we learned of the death John Fox this week. He was the author of numerous books on applied statistics and accompanying #RStats packages including car, effects, Rcmdr, ivreg, and matlib. John was a member of the R Foundation until 2023.
#30DayMapChallenge day 28 (« Black ») with #RStats.
There is a global #oil #spill dataset from 1967 to 2023 by Liu, Yin, and Cai (2025).
Dear R developers, do you happen to know where one can see the status of a package submitted for an update (so not for the first time) on CRAN? I can't find it on the CRAN incoming dashboard <https://r-hub.github.io/cransays/articles/dashboard.html>. Cheers!
Today was my second time participating in the #Replication Games, this time in Münster, and this time with a 100% linguistics team, all from Cologne! Our team brought together a B.A. and M.A. student, two doctoral and one postdoctoral researcher, Marie Klünter, Rose Hörsting, Luca Leppert, Gina Reinhard, and myself. We worked hard to make sense of a fascinating but complex #linguistics paper with some 8 studies and several multi-study analyses, making for a lot of data and #Rstats scripts!

Lots of catching up to do for the #30DayMapChallenge, so here's some "hexagons" for day 25!
There isn't really a palette with 26 visually distinct colours, so I decided to combine line colour and area colour to get unique combinations Still not completely accessible but better than a rainbow palette!
Recently moved some Shiny apps, written in both #Rstats and #Python, over to ShinyProxy. The main goal was isolating the apps and their dependencies, but also the very much needed solution for user authentication and ability to restrict access to apps based on user groups. Cannot recommend it enough!

Day 28 #30DayMapChallenge - Night time lights How did night time lights compare in North Korea and its neighbours during October 2025? I used the {blackmarbleR} for this one and it's great package. Instructions in how to access (and more) are linked in the first reply. #rstats #dataviz #gischat
