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.
25-Jun-2013 I have taken the next steps in creating [[PostGIS]] data warehouses now for both Alsea Geo and GEO-CEG.
I keep notes in this wiki but my github projects have extensive notes in them, too.
Now I am looking for a tidy way to track the metadata about the data I am busily loading into the warehouses.
[[Geonetwork]] looks like it might fit the bill.
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].
'''Where roads meet'''
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.
14-Jun-2013 [[Finding Intersections with Python]] It's working now. Some code fragments here for you.
In NPM, ol-react is released at @map46/ol-react

Funny, I did welding and cutting extensively in my parents' attached garage, never set anything on fire, and they never cared. Now I am very concerned and cautious.
[[Docker]] for everything! Geoserver, MySQL, Logitech SqueezeBox... even ArcGIS Enterprise until my license expired.
No doubt, my shop should include the ability to use computer aided design software and CNC equipment.

==== Using ArcMap as a front end to ArcIMS and/or Mapserver ====
'''ArcMap to ArcIMS:''' Jeroen Ticheler's script [[MXDtoAXL]] downloaded from http://arcscripts.esri.com/ -- this works quite well but breaks if version > 9.0
(There is another MXD converter on arcscripts by Mark Andrews. He provides only a snipped of VB and no instructions. Since we are not ArcObjects geniuses, Kevin and I are sticking to Veroen's program.)
'''ArcMap to Mapserver''' Still looking into this. On possibility is
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/avein/ avein]. See also
[http://chris.narx.net/?p=12 this page.]
Here is the [http://downloads.esri.com/support/documentation/ims_/ArcXML9/Support_files/arcxmlguide.htm ArcXML Programmer's Reference Guide]. To tweak ArcIMS servers and viewers you really need to know ArcXML. It's used for ArcPad configuration too.
[[AJAX and AFLAX]]
'''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.

== 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.
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://voice.google.com/ Google Voice] will phone you.
Answer the call and wait while Google Voice 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 Google does not charge me for the service, I don't have to pay either.
My incoming calls '''used to'' come to me via [http://www.gizmoproject.com/ Gizmo] so I didn't have to pay for any phone line to receive calls. I used a VOIP service for outgoing calls for a year or so but find that using Google for outgoing calls works fine too.
Then a couple years ago Google bought Gizmo. As of April 1 2011, Google has shut down Gizmo. I am not very happy about this, but it was a free service so I can't complain too much.
If you can call Gizmo phones directly my number is 747-235-5752
