Extending Hibernate Spatial

Posted on 2016-02-12

Java is my “Groundhog Day” language. It’s one that I use just infrequently enough to feel like I’m starting over every time a new requirement pops up. As a result of planning the system migration I discussed in my last post, I’ve been doing some work with it, which is my first sustained Java work since…

Desktop GIS

Posted on 2015-08-19

I’ve found myself using desktop GIS more and more lately. While I don’t tend to think of myself as an analyst and I’ll never be confused with a cartographer, it is simply not possible to perform GIS software development without making occasional use of desktop GIS. My typical use cases involve data preparation or query…

A Brief Retrospective

Posted on 2014-12-23

This is the time of year where retrospectives of the previous twelve months become all the rage as content providers have column inches and/or pixels to fill up while skipping out the door on holiday breaks. As an independent blogger, I have no such requirements and the topic of this post, while retrospective, has nothing…

Consider the ‘Alternative’

Posted on 2013-11-27

When I was in college, I had a psychology professor who posited that you could train a cat (a dodgy proposition at best) to take a circuitous route to its food bowl by only rewarding that behavior. He was clearly a behaviorist and was convinced that you could completely condition the instinct to go straight…

GIS Day After

Posted on 2013-11-19

It’s the morning of November 21st, but not for long. You open one eye. Just one; it’s best not to rush such things. Apparently, you finally came to rest in the ball pit you all made using the squishy globes from myriad conferences past. A cursory scan tells you the GIS lab is trashed. It…

Posted on 2013-03-25

Just a quick note to tidy up some loose ends related to recent posts… First, regarding the post ”A #LazyWeb Compendium of Python Resources for Beginners,” the University of South Florida PyBulls Python interest group, as promised, compiled a list of Python resources and posted it on their GitHub page. Thanks to them for their…

The Best Thing I Saw at TUGIS 2013

Posted on 2013-03-20

I spent the day yesterday at Towson University attending the TUGIS 2013 conference. The new one-day format was a firehose that showcased the diversity of geospatial work occurring across the State of Maryland. The keynote by Learon Dalby was well-received and the content of the conference was generally substantive. While the day was a sprint,…

Checking Out the GDAL/OGR Plugin for ArcGIS

Posted on 2013-01-22

A while back, I blogged the availability of a GDAL/OGR plug-in for ArcGIS desktop by Ragi Burhum at AmigoCloud. At the time, I was hoping to dig into it fairly quickly but that didn’t happen and I’m finally getting to it. Anyone who has followed this blog for a while knows that I have had…
