I enjoy long walks on the beach. I then take GPS tracklogs of those walks and import them into a GIS where I make maps of the beaches I have walked on in an effort to walk more beaches.

comment Can the new Mapbox Vector Tiles be used as a QGIS basemap?
@Dane: Thanks for reply and thoughts! Personally I'm just planting seeds in the Mapbox garden as well as the QGIS plugin...I consider QGIS a client of Mapbox in this case - the authoring environment for basemaps is well handled by tilemill/mapbox, and see no reason (as of yet) to handle design of OSM-based basemaps in QGIS...Looking forward to seeing what evolves! (ps. how do you add carriage returns in a stackexchange comment?!?!)

comment Why won't this mapbox map load into a DIV container?
Strange: it does work in your posted example and when I bring your code down locally it works...yet my project doesn't load the map and the jsfiddle doesn't work! I wonder what' up??? Thank you @kevin for taking a look at this!

That doesn't seem to work either - see updated jsfiddle...(I actually had that changed but the changes are stored in the URL it seems)

comment How do you parse an HTML formatted attribute value to seperate columns in a database table?
@til_b you're a straight up python ninja. THANK YOU!!! I was able to create a CSV from this script...When I get this published, I want to give you some credit if you'd like...basically the data can't be formatted from the source database kept by prisonersofthecensus.org...so this was the only way to get it into 'data'...if you could send me an email: matt baker all one word at gmail dot com

@til_b I greatly appreciate this! First off, what I'd ultimately be after is a CSV of the name, prisoner count, and lat, lon so I can replot / convert to SHP...this is a good learning tool for me, though, as I finally got aptana running as a python IDE to make your script work (thank you again!). If you have any thoughts about CSV creation, let me know. Anything helps, and as usual, teaches me a lot!!! Thank you again!!!
