How to make the Webster's 1913 your default Kindle dictionary

1. Download a Kindle-compatible version of the dictionary here. Unzip the .rar archive.

2. Get the "Send to Kindle" program on your computer. Here's the link for the Mac.

3. Right-click your recently downloaded (unzipped) dictionary file, and click the "Send to Kindle" menu item. It will arrive on your Kindle shortly.

4. Once the dictionary has arrived, go to your settings -- on my newish paperwhite, it's at Home > Settings > Device Options > Language and Dictionaries > Dictionaries > English. Choose the Webster's 1913.

The difference between XYZ and TMS tiles and how to convert between them

Lots of tile-based maps use either the XYZ or TMS scheme. These are the maps that have tiles ending in /0/0/0.png or something. Sometimes if it's a script, it'll look like &z=0&y=0&x=0 instead. Anyway, these are usually maps in Spherical Mercator.

Good examples are OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, MapBox, MapQuest, etc. Lots of maps.

Most of those are in XYZ. The best documentation for that is slippy map tilenames on the OSM Wiki, and Klokan's Tiles a la Google.

This script processes VIIRS Nighttime Lights 2012 GeoTIFFs from the Earth Observation Group at NOAA National Geophysical Data Center to prepare them for rendering in TileMill and uploading to MapBox Hosting.

Read Lights of the Night on MapBox to learn more about NPP the functions of this script.
