In my day job, I work on an Arc Pro plugin. We needed to figure out a way to make Arc switch to our custom Conda environment to run this plugin, but switch back to the default Esri Conda environment when closing Arc.

I devised a batch script to do so, and it’s working, but it opens up a console window which is bad for users.

So I devised a wrapper .vbs file which targets the batch script, to hide the console.

So I have this g-d awful Frankenstein system where we have a desktop shortcut which opens the .vbs file, which runs the batch script, which in turn manipulates the Arc Conda environment and runs it with our plugin, lol.

@pete

Thank you!! That appears to be an excellent resource and seems to answer my question:

“…the Land Registry’s mapsearch services are rubbish. If you want to identify the owner of a plot of land that you know only from its location/ field outline etc, the best thing to do is download the relevant INSPIRE Index Polygon file for that county/ district. These are GIS files showing all land parcels in a map format. You’ll need some desktop GIS software to view them, like QGIS – see the next section for how to download and use this. You can then click on individual land parcels on the INSPIRE map, grab the INSPIRE ID, and search for their owner using the Land Registry’s INSPIRE ID search tool.”

Today I will be killing/murdering the mapping program known as QGIS, as I cannot figure out how to do the very basic functions I would like it to do. #GIS #QGIS

Ten years ago. What an event it was! The vibe was lit. I met IRL many people that I had only known from online, mostly Twitter. Which was also lit.

Fast forward 10 years. What happened? Everyone scattered, on and offline. Feeble attempts to build online communities here and there. Tumbleweeds blown around by desert winds.
