Way Ahead for zigGIS
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…
Interesting Washington Post Article…
For those of you familiar with what Northern Virginia is like now, the following article may be of interest: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/01/AR2007080102407.html It’s about how archaeologists are using some recently discovered aerial photos of Fairfax County from 1937 to analyze change over the decades.
Extending SharpMap with SQLite
Or vice versa. A while back I posted about setting up a GIS server using open source GIS technologies. When I left off, I was going to start messing with SharpMap. I’ve been able to get back to that recently. I am working on a project where I need to do some basic spatial operations…
ZigGIS Catalog Objects
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…
New DDJ Column on Concurrency
Anyone who has browsed this blog enough has probably figured out that I am a fan of Doctor Dobb’s Journal. This month’s issue inaugurates a new column by Herb Sutter dealing with concurrency. In my opinion, the confluence of mult-processor/multi-core systems with a greater emphasis on server-based GIS makes concurrency a huge issue for the…
Flashback…
Just back from vacation 🙁 and as a way of easing back into things, I have been tinkering with my WCF project that’s been sitting while the paying work has gotten done. It’s the one that wraps PostGIS coordinate conversion as a web service written using WCF. My copy of “Professional WCF Programming” arrived while…
Back In A Bit
See you again in a couple of weeks. Feel free to have a look around. Help yourself to something in the fridge. Please feed the cat and be sure to lock up when you leave.
Consuming GeoRSS in ArcMap With InMemoryWorkspaceFactory
This will be my last post for a couple of weeks. I’m heading out to Florida tomorrow to spend time with my family and the Mouse. But before I head out, I thought I’d share a little something I’ve been working on. I’ve been playing the last few days with the InMemoryWorkspaceFactory class in ArcObjects….
MO No Mo’
Okay, there’s nothing terribly surprising about ESRI’s announcement regarding MapObjects in this technical article. I would have been more surprised if they had announced that it would be supported or that there would be another version or something like that. In truth, I haven’t touched MapObjects in years. It was dead to me even if…
