MEGAMAP RC1 becomes Release 1.2

Okay, I’m calling it: RC1 is Release Version 1.2 of the MEGAMAP, the combined bike map including Greater Northshore, complete Seattle (the “complete” part of that is new), and 2 Link Eastside maps, with also a little chunk from King County Regional Trails to get us all of Lake Washington without leaving a big void presumably labelled “Here There Be Dragons, And Also Renton” as a warning.

The map be LORGE but it also be FAIRLY COMPLETE as bike maps go of Northwest King County, except ironically for the little KC-maintained section. But what that does buy you is the last section of the Lake Washington Loop. So I think it’s worth it.

Anyway, go download, hopefully this is the last update for a little bit. It should be. If I hear of new infrastructure I’ll probably slip in some quiet updates, but it’ll be less of a production – no Beta or RC releases or any of that. Just moar bieks. ^_^

blinked out on me like a double-striped peppermint stick

Had a very surprising moment as I was going down the front stairs today to go out biking and two of the stairs disappeared out from underneath me, blinking out of existence like a double-striped peppermint stick

Of course they had not actually disappeared, it just turned out the fuckers who installed them used framing nails in an outdoor application and guess what they’ve been rotting out from the inside allllll along

(To be clear, the nails have been rotting out, the wood seems to be fine.)

Fortunately it was me and not any of the delivery people, my reflexes are pretty good and I just ended up sitting on the next surviving stair going “wha happen?!”
