Wildsong.biz is where I do most of my work. There was an infrequently updated blog on www.wildsong.biz for a long time.
== Overview ==
[http://mapw6.com Map46.com] is a domain I own for testing map stuff. At this time it's living in bluehost.com (where this wiki lives).


I still keep lots of notes in this wiki but my github projects have extensive notes in them, too.
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.

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.
