I had mentioned it some but it's probably been coming up on 6 months since I even mentioned training. Right before I decided to attempt to die in 2025 I had started building a training website at training.northrivergeographic.com. Basically it's my Intro to QGIS class...
I've been trying to stop once a week and do something fun with QGIS. Post Heart Incident I do a lot of walking. I've been re-exploring some places I used to go in town to exercise and one is the TN River Walk. I realized the other day I needed to do some OpenStreetMap...
I said at the start of the year I wanted to blog once a week. I've been simplifying my website and I just want to put "more stuff" out there. Some posts may be work related - some may not be. So this isn't work - but it is work: QGIS-US. I've not said a ton about the...
A few posts ago I babbled about cartography. I've never had the patience for Cartography mainly because two things usually happen...well three things: the map can't be bigger than 8x11 the map must have everything on it Make the map however you want except we will...
...aaand I'm back home. So I've been to a lot of conferences. Some Good. Some Bad. This one was good. Better than I had hoped. So what was my main takeaway from it? They keynotes were a great contrast of people/computers. OSM is all about the people. I had no clue how...
By the time you read this I will be sitting in the outskirts of Nashville Tennessee for the annual State Wide GIS Conference. I've attended this conference for the last 15 or so years off and on. There were come years I missed - some I went joyfully...some I just...
I can sum it up: It's not much of one. Way back in my younger days I was infatuated with ArcPlot (which was the plotting portion of ArcINFO). From there I moved to Arcview, ArcMap, and eventually here to QGIS. All of my work typically revolves around Data. I usually...
A few years back I jumped in way over my head with QGIS/Postgis. I had moved a process out of one software and into my favorite two (QGIS/PostGIS) and little did I know the final output had to be a ESRI File Geodatabase. So what did I do? I shamed them into using a...
I could argue I'm doing that on multiple levels these days. Except I want to talk Geometry, QGIS, and Forks in the Road. I haven't done just a "QGIS Tech Post" in a while. I talk about it and training and generalities but hardly dive into the specifics. So here is a...
I said this year I was going to babble up here more and I've basically not been because I tend to loose interest in whatever I'm about to say. I've got to change up my attitude on all things technical....and not technical. So the classes are starting to come out on...
So last year I didn't do a year in review because I was sitting in the hospital with one serious thought back in January: I was probably a few days away from the year in review not mattering anymore. How do you sum up this year. Usually I pour through a pile of things...
So back last year I started something and have just finished one small part of it: https://training.northrivergeographic.com The Intro to QGIS class has a new home and that new home has a lot of room for a lot of different things. Something like 12 years ago (or more...
