ZigGIS Beta

Posted on 2008-04-09

As zigGIS 2.0 enters its beta stage, I am (somewhat strangely) reminded of the famous line from Yeats: “what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?” Kind of a weird thing to have pop into your head in relation to something as positive as zigGIS, but sleep deprivation…

Quote of the Day…

Posted on 2008-03-28

Abe Gillespie had the quote of the day in his latest post about zigGIS. In describing the development approach (disclaimer: I have been known to dabble in the zigGIS code from time to time although it’s been the Abe show recently), Abe described it as “software 2.0” which, in his words, “doesn’t mean much, but…

Whither zigGIS?

Posted on 2007-11-05

Things have been a little quiet (publicly) with zigGIS, owing mainly to outside workload. For those of you who may be wondering, Abe Gillespie, the original author of zigGIS is now more fully engaged on it and making some updates. He should have some announcements in the coming weeks but I just wanted to float…

Way Ahead for zigGIS

Posted on 2007-08-03

Abe, Paolo and I had a chat session yesterday to coordinate efforts on zigGIS. It was good session and we’re all on the same page with getting zigGIS solidified. The general theme of the outcome from yesterday is that we want to make zigGIS a solid experience for PostGIS users first. We have discussed other…

ZigGIS Catalog Objects

Posted on 2007-07-27

Things have been REALLY slow on zigGIS for a while. All of us (Paolo, Abe, me) have all been up to our eyeballs with work, leaving little time to work on the zig. Now that Abe is out on his own, the three of us have been trying to coordinate a chat session to lay…

Bringing It All Together…

Posted on 2007-06-26

These are pretty fun times to be working in GIS. There’s an explosion of new technologies across the whole spectrum and integration possibilities are seemingly boundless. Back when I got started, ESRI and Intergaph were duking it out and others, like MapInfo, were out there on the periphery also. GRASS was flying the OS banner…

Creating ArcObjects Spatial Reference Objects From PostGIS Spatial Reference Definitions

Posted on 2007-05-09

As discussed in my previous post, I’m trying to beef up the spatial reference support in zigGIS. I am doing this mainly to introduce support for user-defined spatial references. It pretty much boils down to querying the the appropriate SR from the PostGIS spatial_ref_sys table and applying the value of the srtext column to create…
