QGIS2Web and the Hunt for Bike Lanes

QGIS2Web and the Hunt for Bike Lanes

I was teaching a QGIS class a while back and at one point the discussion drifted into "So this OpenStreetMap thing" and I discussed how I enjoy making edits. Eventually it turned to "I'm trying to get Chattanooga's Bike Lanes into it in my spare time". One thing led...

QGIS Deployment CLI

QGIS Deployment CLI

In my attempt to do one blog post a week on something - today it's QGIS. One of my clients did a hefty install of QGIS and they went and touched every box and then had a list of "things to do" like installing plugins and connecting services. I know there are different...

2023 – The Year End Review

2023 – The Year End Review

So if you're keeping up in 2020 I was ready to end the business thanks to Covid. 2022 was probably my best year in business in a very long time. This year was slower than anticipated BUT that's why you save money, advertise, and spend wisely. It also had it's exciting...

Playing with pg_featureserv

Which is really all this post is about - learning something new. This year I hit a lot of Conferences and a talking point I've done for the last few years has been the tn 911 project. So during the talk I always had this graphic up: QGIS makes the edits. PostGIS holds...

LIDAR in QGIS 3.34

LIDAR in QGIS 3.34

I'm old. If you look at my past mapping history I was helping create DEMs (or DTM's if you will) with Photogrammetry folk. It involved a lot of Aerial Photography and control and weeks. Then LIDAR hits. TN has an abundance of LIDAR and I rarely have any jobs revolving...

QGIS Support Updates

You've read the title and went "We knew that you were doing QGIS Support". Well...... So I did something like 7 conferences this year. Maybe 6. Honestly I lost count. What I didn't lose count of were my notes. I tackled this year like I did 2020 in asking "What does...

The FOSS4GNA 2023 Review

The FOSS4GNA 2023 Review

This might get a bit long. I've been debating how to summarize up the first meeting we've had since 2019. I've had a year where I've been trying to do things differently. Going to more meetings, handing out business cards, sponsoring more events, and just generally...

RapidSOS and QGIS

RapidSOS and QGIS

I took a bit of a break from the TN NG911 project. I've had a lot of random thoughts about direction and "what does this need to do" as in QGIS Plugin or more work into the database...or both. Anyway - more on that later. A few weeks ago a client popped up and went...

A Trip down Memory Lane

A Trip down Memory Lane

I guess I'm keynoting the West TN TNGIC Conference....or I'm just the first speaker. I received a call and it went either "Hey we want you..." or "Hey the first four people cancelled so...." I didn't want to talk about The 911 project or the latest FOSS4G thing - so...
