Weeknotes: 10th August 2026

Last Week Tessera Habitat Mapping I'm continuing to push forward mostly on the habitat mapping work, with occasional side quests into tooling bits I need to support that (changes to Yirgacheffe and Geotessera, more on that below). It's starting to take shape, in that the maps I'm making have some recognisable features, but I'm still at the phase where I'm learning about the data and having to question initial assumptions: the maps are in that awkward phase where they look good at first glance but are questionable when you dig in. For instance, here's a view on Anglesey, over on the north east of Wales: You can see a good mix of urban (light pink), arable land (dark pink), shrubland, and forest. It picks out the Newborough Forest with it's tall pine trees, and even the race track on the island. However, it misclassifies Mynydd Parys, an old copper mine that you can explore, as urban rather than rocky - a common mistake if I look around mountain ranges otherwhere. Still, good progress…
