2019-10-03 Upgrading to Debian Buster on Bellman broke Docker so now I have to fix it.
Not everything gets listed here. Use "Search" or click on "Recent changes" over there on the left; many pages are intentionally orphans and can only be found in search.
2019-09 Things I am looking at / using for the web maps (besides React + OpenLayers): parceljs, codesplitting, jsts, Solr, Redux, redux-first-router, GeoMoose 3, maybe even server side rendering ... in the thick of things right now. GeoServer+PostGIS vs ArcGIS Server+MSSQL - ArcGIS in the daytime and GeoServer by night!
2019-07 I am designing a new web map system base on React for Clatsop County and today I started experimenting with OpenLayers 6 which is in beta.
2018-08 Survived fires in Sonoma county (2017 edition), moved to Astoria Oregon to start a new job, and now
- Experimenting with OpenLayers again (and JavaScript).
- Using Microsoft Visual Studio now as my ArcGIS Python editor/debugger.
Keeping my OpenLayers and JavaScript in Github, see experiments at https://github.com/brian32768/ and released things at https://github.com/Wildsong/
2017, the missing parts
- Docker for everything! Geoserver, MySQL, Owncloud, Logitech SqueezeBox... even ArcGIS Enterprise until my license expired.
- ArcGIS Developer
06-2017 Busy month, 4 projects
- Tightening TLS security
- Bar code on my helmet.
- Weatherman app twilio-weatherman on github
05-2017 Signal 2017 is done, now I need to use what I learned. Hackpack v3 + GPS and Caller ID processing
02-2017 Not using OpenVBX for phones, looking at using Twilio and TWIML now. Have it going for Geo-CEG.org already.

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.

July-2013 ANT wireless is interesting at the moment since I bought a couple add-ons for my Garmin GPSMAP 62SC that send cadence and temperature data to it, and also I have an ANT-based Fitbit. I have a Garmin heart monitor around too.
June-2013 Investigating Geomoose and Geomoose on RHEL
09-Apr-2013 GeoKettle/GeoMondrian look good but Andy suggests looking at GeoMediaPro
"GeoKettle is a powerful, metadata-driven Spatial ETL tool dedicated to the integration of different spatial data sources for building and updating geospatial data warehouses."
GeoMondrian SOLAP server
"GeoMondrian is an Open Source Spatial Online Analytical Processing Server, a spatially-enabled version of Pentaho Analysis Services (Mondrian). It has been released under the EPL."

17 June 2010
The world has been taken over by penguins. It's a much richer world. I was sleeping in a walled garden owned by a miserable witch who tried to fool me into thinking it was a place of wonder.
Shaded relief
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 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.
Swiss hillshading (and lots of cartography info) http://mappractical.blogspot.com/2011/09/swiss-hillshade-model-in-arcmap.html
