- lloydatkinson 5y agoMy go to at a job that involved maps was to stare aimlessly at the world and zoom in on random places that either looked interesting or at random. I learned a lot about lots and lots of tiny remote islands once I found their wikipedia pages.
- to1y 5y agoMay I ask how did you go about writing it?
- apples_oranges 5y agoi wrote it with Ruby, one parameter for the key word, grab wikipedia page, then parse some html and print some text out. I think I also used the edit page because it was easier to parse, no html just Wikipedia syntax.
