The Pragmatic Geographer: August 2011
http://pragmaticgeographer.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Politics, Geography, Conservation. Whatever I feel like talking about, but mostly those things. Wednesday, August 10, 2011. HTML5 File System API - Basic Tips. Recently went to an HTML5 Hackathon at Google Kirkland. My group's project was an in-browser IDE Chrome extension that zipped up a user-provided series of HTML/CSS/JS files into a package that could be uploaded to the Chrome Store. Issac Lewis. The FileSystem API is not LocalStorage. There's no limit to the storage, currently. Hell yeah, cache all...

The Pragmatic Geographer: September 2010
http://pragmaticgeographer.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Politics, Geography, Conservation. Whatever I feel like talking about, but mostly those things. Thursday, September 30, 2010. Location based services are going to compete on trust, except Facebook. Two articles recently came to my attention - one describing how location based services like FourSquare are used by some vanishingly small percentage of young people. The other article described how some mobile applications are secretly sending GPS coordinates to advertisers. People will still use Facebook eve...

The Pragmatic Geographer: July 2010
http://pragmaticgeographer.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Politics, Geography, Conservation. Whatever I feel like talking about, but mostly those things. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. I've been hammering away at a GIS migration project that has been going on far. Longer than anyone expected it might take, but I've gotten the opportunity to hack away at some Python to more or less fix a problem I found on TheGISForum. Is there a way to use the network analyst tools on a geometric network? Along these exact lines. From The Pragmatic Geographer. Posted by Ben Reilly.

The Pragmatic Geographer: TileMill - what it does and some reasons to try it
http://pragmaticgeographer.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-tilemill-means.html
Politics, Geography, Conservation. Whatever I feel like talking about, but mostly those things. Friday, January 27, 2012. TileMill - what it does and some reasons to try it. We were promised jetpacks, but I'll take Tilemill as a temporary replacement: http:/ mapbox.com/tilemill/. The MapBox/DevelopmentSeed team has created one of the the last pieces really needed for mainstream open source GIS to gain really massive appeal. TileMill does one thing and it does it well. It also has sane, plaintext css-like...

March 10, 2013. Tobi Lütke is a Shopify. Co-founder and Rails Core alumni. He writes about his education as a programmer via Germany’s apprenticeship system. It’s an interesting contrast to the university Computer Science or Software Engineering route that’s more common in other places like here in New Zealand, or North America. I don’t agree that “degrees don’t matter any more”, but in the software development world, a degree is no longer enough on its own. Here’s the f...From → Uncategorized. Sasurau &...

Mountain Lion Upgrade (and Apache) | dispatches
https://johnmccombs.inmap.net/2012/07/30/mountain-lion-upgrade-and-apache
Mountain Lion Upgrade (and Apache). July 30, 2012. Upgraded to Mountain Lion and not much broke. Printing to the Canon printer, shared from a Windows 7 computer, no longer worked. Previously printing on this printer has been fiddly to get working, with hand editing of /etc/cups/printers.conf being required. It worked as an LPD printer, but SMB never worked in the past. Happily Apple finally seem to have fixed printing to an SMB share and it just worked. Sudo apachectl stop start restart. Laquo; Evidence-...
