--[[User:Brian Wilson|Brian Wilson]] 18:50, 28 November 2005 (PST)
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.


== No more paper ==
I keep notes in this wiki but my github projects have extensive notes in them, too.


I just decided I am really tired of filing all the bits of paper that collect in piles around here every year around 'tax time'. Also, I don't want to own a file cabinet anymore. It's heavy and bulky.
My GIS related stuff including mapping, ol-react, and dockers is usually in [https://github.com/Wildsong the Wildsong repo].
My non-GIS things and quick ideas I am testing end up in [https://github.com/brian32768 the brian32768 repo].


===Capturing documents===
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.


First I need to get the docs into the computer. This includes anything paper that I want to file. Receipts, bills, articles torn from magazines, notes to myself.
In NPM, ol-react is released at @map46/ol-react


The computer aka "the doc server" needs bullet-proof and secure backups, so I need some way to encrypt the docs and ship them off somewhere. Only critical docs need this treatment. I think I can afford slightly less bullet proof backups for my photo and music collections.
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.


====Digital docs====
*My organizational account [https://wildsong.maps.arcgis.com/ wildsong] gets 50 credits a month. I need to do banners for these sites. :-)
*My personal account [https://map46.maps.arcgis.com/ map46] gets 100 credits.


I can already access many personal docs online.
==Recent changes==


I have to do this in a timely way though. they don't all archive everything forever. Plus I want them all accessible in one system.
=== 2024 - ===
2024-10 I am working on a CANBUS project right now.


I need to program the doc server to grab every relevant personal doc and archive it. This means bank and credit card records, and bills from various entities like the power company and the phone company.
=== 2023 ===
'''2023-12-25''' [[Murre]] is now running Linux Mint


I'd like to stash email in this server, too.
'''2023-06''' Setting up [[Rotary encoder]] on an MCU


I also own a substantial number of e-books and e-magazines that I'd like indexed.
'''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.


====Paper to image====
'''2022-11-12''' Moved to Tektonic and shut down the Bluehost account to save money. Backups are on Bellman in ~/Backups/Bluehost


'''Flatbed scanner''' - Yep, I have one of these somewhere. I need to drag it out of the closet. If things go well I will probably want to trade it in for one with a feeder on it.
2022-01 It's all about IoT and [[Home control]] these days. And ham radio also. And always bicycles. And [[Svelte]] and maybe [[Jamstack]]?


'''Digital camera''' - it's been suggested that you can use a camera and tripod.
2021-03 setting up "Esri Web App Builder, Developer Edition" ([[WABDE]]) in Docker.
My eyesight is not that good. It might be useful to consider its ability
to capture other things than paper docs. Also I'd like to store photos.


===Photographic images===
2020-08-10 I am building an [[Elevation surface]] for Clatsop county including contours, hillshades, shaded relief.


(and movies, I suppose)
2020-03-18 Docker + Python + [[Visual Studio Code]], using Remote Containers Extension, wow like crazy man.


Thinking along the same lines, I'd also like to store...
2020-01-03 In spite of the fact [[Vastra]] is dead, I am working on [[Presence Detection]], now in the context of IoT.


===Audio data===
=== 2019 ===


Let's get rid of the CD collection, too.
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.


====Image to words====
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!


OCR via [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tesseract-ocr Tesseract]
2019-07 I started experimenting with [[OpenLayers]] 6 which is in beta (and [[JavaScript]]).
My idea is not to make a perfect readable copy of the original but
Keeping my OpenLayers and JavaScript in Github, see experiments at https://github.com/brian32768/ and released things at https://github.com/Wildsong/
just to be able to grab keywords for indexing.


===Storing documents===
===2017 ===


I don't want things to be stored in a hierarchy or a taxonomy or anything
Survived fires in Sonoma county (2017 edition), moved to Astoria Oregon to start a new job/
ending in the letter 'y'. I want it all in a pile, just like I do with paper.
Then I want to be able search through the pile. The difference is that I want
to be able to do the searching MUCH MUCH FASTER.


So I want at least the metadata stored in a SQL database. The docs themselves can be stored in BLOBS or files. I don't care as long as I can still get at them in 10 or 20 years when I need them. I think files would be best.
[[Tightening TLS security]]


===Indexing documents===
[[Bar code]] on my helmet.


Fine, so the metadata can live in a database. I need to decide what the best way to access the data is.
Weatherman app [https://github.com/brian32768/twilio-weatherman twilio-weatherman on github]


This journey started when I ran across the announcement for a release of
[[Signal 2017]] is done, now I need to use what I learned. [[Hackpack v3]] and [[Caller ID processing]]
[http://phpmyarchive.sourceforge.net/ phpMyArchive] so I better check it out.
This project has some very good ideas about making data storage and indexing.


I remember evaluating [http://swish-e.org Swish-E] so I will look at it again too.
[[Docker]] for everything! Geoserver, MySQL, Logitech SqueezeBox... even ArcGIS Enterprise until my license expired.
Swish-E indexes text docs.


I also played with [http://search.mnogo.ru/ MnoGoSearch] for a while. It indexes documents and puts the index into a database. For articles it could go like this:
[[ArcGIS Developer]]
Scan article. Attach title to it. OCR it. Then run indexer on it.


==Maps!==
===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!

[http://www.wildsong.biz/static/CDS-Wireless CDS Wireless Network] I plan on putting these static maps into Mapserver any day now...


=== Cartography ===
[[Teensy USB Development Board]]
To learn more than you could want to know about color and shading on maps, visit these sites.


http://www.reliefshading.com/ has articles by Bill Patterson of the National Park Service
[[Running my own git server]]
on producing 2d and 3D maps using natural colors.


http://shadedrelief.com/ has lots of information on shading techniques and very interesting articles about cartographers.
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.

'''Server side vs client side user interfaces for web mapping'''
It's not really a matter of 'versus' rather than 'where do we draw the line?'
Some things HAVE to be on the client. Others can be implemented in either place.
 
For significant work such as editting and updating we still need a desktop app.
Web mapping should be used more for display and simple analysis, with a desktop app communicating with central data stores as the model for editting and advanced spatial analysis.

I am currently using the stable [[Special:Version|version]] of [http://www.mediawiki.org/ Mediawiki] which is the software used for the [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia]. At [http://home.wildsong.biz/ home] I am running the development [http://www.mediawiki.org/index.php?Special:Version/ version] downloaded from [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CVS CVS].
 
Reasons I like Mediawiki: It is easy to install. It is easy to customize.
It is easy to learn. It is very well supported and has a large user community.
 
Update. I have been using Mediawiki for over a year now. I have deployed it at work, at home, at my ISP, and for pedalwiki.ihpva.org and solarcreek,org. I like it. I use it for site management, and I document all my work in wikis now. No more lost scraps of paper or random txt files scattered all over creation.
 
But there are things it does not do well, so I am back looking at Drupal now for ihpva.org main page.
 
==== Mediawiki extensions ====
 
There are maps in the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensions Wikipedia], so I should really look at the [http://meta.wikimedia.org wikimedia extensions] for GIS and maps first.
 
[[Gallery2]] is an image gallery that has been integrated successfully with both Drupal and Mediawiki, which makes it potentially very useful to me.
 
=== Drupal ===
 
For a while I was convinced Drupal was the best CMS so I started writing this [[Beginner's guide for Drupal]]. I stopped working on it when I quit using [http://www.drupal.org Drupal]. (Which was almost immediately...) I am leaving the page here because I might revisit it at any moment.
(and that moment is NOW. [[User:Brian Wilson|Brian Wilson]] 07:03, 13 March 2006 (PST))
 
=== Other ===
 
I might revisit [http://www.zope.org Zope] and [http://plone.org Plone]
instead. The only reason I am interested in plone right now is because of plonemap. The plonemap server seems to be down right now so I can't even research it. (29-Nov-2005) Later for this...
