ArcGIS.Next (+)

Posted on 2007-02-07

Steve has blogged about Clint Brown’s talk at the CA/HI/NV/Guam RUG meeting. There’s nothing particularly suprprising but we’re starting to get dates and features tied to version numbers. I am encouraged that 9.3 will be in beta soon. ESRI’s odd-numbered releases are always more stable. The support for PostgreSQL with ArcSDE is not a surprise….

Two Roads Diverged in a Yellow Wood…

Posted on 2007-02-05

With apologies to the great Robert Frost. I’ll admit that over the last few months I’ve become something of an open-source convert. I’ve been in the consulting business for about 15 years now and I’ve made through the “holy wars” relatively unscathed (Microsoft/Linux, IE/Netscape/Firefox, Oracle/Everyone else, ad nauseum). I’ve said it before that it’s not…

Desktop? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Desktop!

Posted on 2007-01-25

I figured I’d pile on here because it seems that a little ganging up may be in order. James and Kirk have posted about the dearth of Desktop sessions at the upcoming Developer Summit. Kirk also provides a good, specific example of a server-only feature that would be useful, and perfectly possible, in Desktop. One…

pfisk on AutoLISP

Posted on 2007-01-18

This post from pfisk brought back a flood of memories. I haven’t done AutoLISP since I last used ArcCAD. I thought the point made about leveraging concepts from AutoLISP for 3D drawings was an interesting one.

Free and Closed. Why?

Posted on 2007-01-16

I was IMing with Paolo today and we were discussing his employer’s decision to migrate to open-source. The conversation took a few turns and we touched upon the concept of free closed-source software vice free open-source software. His employer had rejected a free CMS that was not open-source. This got me into a philosophical frame of…

Derived Geometry Redux

Posted on 2007-01-14

A long time ago, on a blog-hosting site far far away, there was a blog called ArcDeveloper (not to be confused with ArcDeveloper.Net, which came later and did more). That was my first blog. It went in a few different directions. I wasn’t happy with it, so I killed it. There’s nothing to link to…

Standalone IE6

Posted on 2007-01-12

Okay, this really has nothing to do with GIS but I wanted to get this info out there. I have a particular piece of software that I use regularly that involves connecting a device to my PC to exchange information. This software does not work with IE7 yet. Since automatic updates doesn’t really give you…

In For a Dime…

Posted on 2007-01-10

…in for a dollar. I’ve been blogging about zigGIS a lot (more than I had planned to, really). So, today, I joined the project. If you go to the site, you’ll see “bill” listed as one of the project owners. That’s me. I had a long IM session with Paolo today and there’s a lot…

zigGIS Update

Posted on 2007-01-10

Paolo has posted an update to zigGIS. This update deals more effectively with data layers that have an SRID associated (SRID != -1). They now seem to overlay well. On-the-fly reprojection is still not working but he is working on it. Archaeogeek recently posted about some issues getting zigGIS to work.

zigGIS Installer

Posted on 2007-01-04

Paolo has created an installer for zigGIS and has also posted an installation guide. He has packaged together all of the correct versions of the supporting components so it solves the problems I described in an earlier post. I would highly recommend using the installer to get started.
