Overview
I keep tips and project notes here on wiki.wildsong.biz for my own use, but try to write as if I actually have an audience. If you find anything here useful or want more details feel free to contact me.
I keep notes in this wiki but my github projects have extensive notes in them, too.
My GIS related stuff including mapping, ol-react, and dockers is usually in the Wildsong repo. My non-GIS things and quick ideas I am testing end up in the brian32768 repo.
I recently started keeping a "develop" branch on my git repos so that the main branch (in theory) always has functioning code now and develop always is under development.
In NPM, ol-react is released at @map46/ol-react
ArcGIS Online: They (ESRI) make me have two accounts, one for my general account and one for my personal/home/ArcGIS Pro account. I really wish they did not do this.
- My organizational account wildsong gets 50 credits a month. I need to do banners for these sites. :-)
- My personal account map46 gets 100 credits.

2023-06 Setting up Rotary encoder on an MCU
2023-01 Last month I had a "wellness" check at Columbia Memorial Hospital and they did nothing but a blood test then they billed me $1000. They did the same thing with my spouse. I was never able to resolve this. My health insurance should have covered this, it did two previous visits.
2022-11-12 Moved to Tektonic and shut down the Bluehost account to save money. Backups are on Bellman in ~/Backups/Bluehost
2022-01 It's all about IoT and Home control these days. And ham radio also. And always bicycles. And Svelte and maybe Jamstack?
2021-03 setting up "Esri Web App Builder, Developer Edition" (WABDE) in Docker.
2020-08-10 I am building an Elevation surface for Clatsop county including contours, hillshades, shaded relief.
2020-03-18 Docker + Python + Visual Studio Code, using Remote Containers Extension, wow like crazy man.
2020-01-03 In spite of the fact Vastra is dead, I am working on Presence Detection, now in the context of IoT.
2019
2019-11-01 Asterisk on Bellman is broken so I am shutting it down and switching to a Twilio TwiML set up. We almost never used it once Vastra ended. I sold my snazzy Grandstream phones on eBay.
2019-09 Things I am looking at / using for the web maps (besides React + OpenLayers): parceljs, codesplitting, jsts, Solr, Redux, redux-first-router, GeoServer+PostGIS vs ArcGIS Server+MSSQL - ArcGIS in the daytime and GeoServer by night!
2019-07 I started experimenting with OpenLayers 6 which is in beta (and JavaScript). Keeping my OpenLayers and JavaScript in Github, see experiments at https://github.com/brian32768/ and released things at https://github.com/Wildsong/
2017
Survived fires in Sonoma county (2017 edition), moved to Astoria Oregon to start a new job/
Bar code on my helmet.
Weatherman app twilio-weatherman on github
Signal 2017 is done, now I need to use what I learned. Hackpack v3 and Caller ID processing
Docker for everything! Geoserver, MySQL, Logitech SqueezeBox... even ArcGIS Enterprise until my license expired.
2016
Portable Windows Sometimes when I work onsite for clients, I can't get admin rights and just install any tools I need. So I plug in my Portable Windows external drive and away I go!
10/2016 Anaren Bluetooth Smart Development Kit
9/2016 bike ped stuff
Atmel AVR stuff: Arduino and FutureKit Temperature Controller
Time to look at AVL again, now that I have landed in Sonoma county. OpenGTS and Traccar only know about GSM/GPRS devices. I want to work with APRS since that's what I have available.
