I typically spend June wondering about what I'm doing, have done, and need to do work wise. One thing I keep thinking about is "the old days". By old days I mean the start of my career which was doing a lot of Watershed Mapping. Back in the mid 90's we would be...
I had a boss that would always start off with "So the Short story is...." and you'd be stuck for at least 30 minutes and maybe an hour listening to a story that didn't go anywhere. So the short story on the Mergin Maps Class.......... NRGS is a Mergin Maps partner. A...
I was originally going to call this unintended consequences but - there was a small amount of joy at the end. In Tennessee you have 6 layers that are required by the NG 911 group. So you end up with a lot of information depending on the county being poured into the...
I spend a large amount of time harping about QGIS and other things up here - Never talk about Geoserver. I first "got into it" during the early OpenGeo days and slowly figured out I could run it outside of that install environment. I run it for a few clients....
THE PLAN.....there was a plan. Oh yes - the plan is to make editing and creating data in TN for the 911 addressing system to be as easy as possible. Menus and Triggers abound and now as two counties are using this with a third on the horizon - HOW do I make this...
Not that this is new - Mergin has been doing this for a bit BUT I finally had the chance to sit down and use it. I have a client taking pics of houses to feed into the 911 dispatch system. Granted - not easy, not fun, and not his idea but he walked into this and has...
"Hey you've been on a NDVI kick as of late!". Technically I've been on a learning kick as of late. When I get burned out I tend to float back to the thing that gives me some comfort and that's numbers and mapping etc. This morning (being a Holiday weekend) I decided...
Yesterday was wild. Flash back to 6 years ago and I transferred a ESRI Process over to QGIS/PostGIS and it happened to be a 911 addressing database. As I was walking out the door, the client said "So how do we deliver the data to the state" and through a bunch of...

Coming back from Yellowstone has left me slightly adrift. I missed a meeting yesterday as I keep forgetting to add things to my calendar. So the last time I mentioned Conda was like 2018 and the whole point to the Article was "I can now have two versions of QGIS...
Titling these articles is getting more difficult. I almost called this my "Getting my Junior Forestry Badge" because that's what I told one client the other day as I confidently misidentified another tree on a walk. A forestry person I am not - but I've gotten pretty...
I just came off two conferences with one being in Montana and one being in Tennessee. Both Geo related. It was my first time attending the MAGIP conference. Not that you need a long overly drawn out review of both - here are some of the highlights: TNGIC was fun. It...
