May 2010 [[gpsd on Mac]] [[PyQt on the Mac]]
== Overview ==


16 Jan 2010 [[Alfresco]] building for Debian 64-bit
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.


05 Jan 2010 [[Low-cost RTK]]
I keep notes in this wiki but my github projects have extensive notes in them, too.


21 Dec 2009 Debian Live, [[Walltop]] and the Chintimini project
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].


30 Oct 09 [[GIS on the Macintosh]]
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.


24 Oct 09 I got a nice new 13" MacBook Pro today, first Mac I have owned since the Mac IICX. She is named [[Stellar]] after Stellar's Jay.
In NPM, ol-react is released at @map46/ol-react


24 Jun 09 Another thing to look at .. tools for ArcView http://www.ian-ko.com/
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.


08 Feb 09 I am setting up network for the Chintimini Wildlife Center. See [[Chintimini Wireless Project]]
*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.


03-Feb-2009 Idea of the day, create an equivalent to openstreetmap for personal weather stations. Or even better, find one that already exists.
==Recent changes==


30 Jan 09 Now using Google Sitesearch for this site, which integrates quite well with the Mediawiki software.
=== 2024 - ===
2024-10 I am working on a CANBUS project right now.


26 Jan 09 I got a month worth of T-Mobile access so I am spending some time with the [[Openmoko]] Neo FreeRunner that I got last summer.
=== 2023 ===
'''2023-12-25''' [[Murre]] is now running Linux Mint


20 Jan 09 Doing a bit of Microchip [[PIC]] programming.
'''2023-06''' Setting up [[Rotary encoder]] on an MCU


03 Sept 08 Developing cross-platform GUI applications with Python and QT4: [[PyQt]] The longer I work with Python, the more I like it.
'''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.


Feb 17 2008 [[Streaming media servers]]
'''2022-11-12''' Moved to Tektonic and shut down the Bluehost account to save money. Backups are on Bellman in ~/Backups/Bluehost


Dec 24 2007 Cool link of the day
2022-01 It's all about IoT and [[Home control]] these days. And ham radio also. And always bicycles. And [[Svelte]] and maybe [[Jamstack]]?
http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/obop/spo/livecamera.html


== LINUX ==
2021-03 setting up "Esri Web App Builder, Developer Edition" ([[WABDE]]) in Docker.


Ubuntu on Toshiba Magnia SG20 -- [[Otter]]
2020-08-10 I am building an [[Elevation surface]] for Clatsop county including contours, hillshades, shaded relief.


== Radio ==
2020-03-18 Docker + Python + [[Visual Studio Code]], using Remote Containers Extension, wow like crazy man.


Jan 11 2007 - Lots of snow here last night! I am walking to work.
2020-01-03 In spite of the fact [[Vastra]] is dead, I am working on [[Presence Detection]], now in the context of IoT.
I will carry my new radio. [[The Radio Page]]


== No more paper ==
=== 2019 ===


Jan 2007-- 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. Continued in [[No more paper]]
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.


Jan 2009-- Update. Still don't have a working scanner. The Canoscan FB630 that a friend gave me never worked right. It is now in the junk pile.
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!


Feb 2009 - Got a scanner off the local Craig's List. HP 3970

It's not really a matter of 'versus' rather than 'where do we draw the line?'

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.

== Web site content management ==
 
=== Mediawiki ===
 
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].
 
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.
 
==== Speeding up mediawiki ====
 
...and slimming it down. When I had my own computer on the Internet I had no constraints. Now I either choose a slow virtual CPU at tektonic.net or a fast but CPU cycle limited server at Hostmonster.com. If I use too many cycles at Hostmonster they cut off access from the outside world for 5 minutes. VERY ugly.
 
I tried to put caching onto mediawiki that will stop it from being a resource hog.
Nothing seemed to help.
 
Choices
 
Built-in mediawiki caching -- since I am getting kicked out regularly I can assume this one is not good enough for my purposes.
 
memcached -- cache access to database
 
eAccelerator (http://eaccelerator.net/) -- precompile php code
 
squid -- caches html accesses. I read this suggestion on a hostmonster forum.
[http://seankelly.tv/blog/blogentry.2007-03-02.4768602564 Sean Kelly] suggests that Varnish is the way to go.
 
=== 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...
 
== Google pays my phone bill. ==
 
If you want to talk to me, click on this button and enter your phone number
then [http://grandcentral.com/ Grand Central] will phone you.
Answer the call and wait while Grand Central phones me and connects our calls together. If you call me from a land line, you won't have to pay for the call. Since Grand Central does not charge me for the service, I don't have to pay either.

</html>
 
My incoming calls come to me via [http://www.gizmoproject.com/ Gizmo] so I don't have to pay for any phone line to receive calls. Outgoing calls cost me 1.3 cents per minute via [[http://les.net/ Les.net]]. I have not figured out how to make outgoing calls without paying for them so my phone bill still runs me $4 or $5 a month.
 
If you can call Gizmo phones directly my number is 747-235-5752
