Welcome to yet another blog on the web. First off, my initial intention for this blog (which I must thank Scanner for - Thank you!) is to record my (almost) daily travails with GIS, which usually happens at my workplace. And thanks to coincidence or some other abstract word along those lines, there are multiple people in my unit with names that start with the same letter, so I'll be using the first two letters of their name when I refer to them. And initials of anybody outside my unit.
But for the most part, this blog is going to be like a detailed version of the weekly status report. Unless I digress. Which happens too often. In that case, all bets are off!
This morning, I tried to find out more about "vertical tabs" (as opposed to horizontal, like you normally see). With CSS (and maybe other technology, I'm not that far yet), you can make a tabbed interface for your website. A Google produced SimpleBits as a hit and it looks promising, but I didn't find anything good for vertical yet. Still a neophyte with CSS so I feel like I'm still stumbling around trying to figure out something for our internal website, but I'll get there. Maybe in several weeks. And maybe I'll just settle for horizontal tabs.
Corrected a web page link that was throwing off the request table refresh.
Chucked out an Alviso map for BG. I think the PDF ended up being 97 megs, thanks to all the photos. And maybe it was because I deleted the job from the print queue but it might be because of all the rasters or the Windows Printer driver couldn't take it but when it first started comin' out of the plotter, it lacked any vectors on it. I ended up using ArcPress as usual. I should ask about the optimum settings for the plotter. I'll deliver it tomorrow when I do an install.
The issue w/ BM not being able to open the ArcView 3 project with data attached was because he had his G: drive mapped to something else. I remapped it, as he didn't need the current location it was mapped to and things worked swell.
For SM's VBA code, we pored over it wondering what was going on. I think it turned out to be that the variant variable she wanted to store the Filtered array in was being written over with every iteration of her loop, so I didn't exactly help bring her to a solution, but coming up with a reason for the main problem is good, and I'm sure she'll continue on .. merrily.
In other news, Bi had ordered a mic and it came in so maybe I can test that tomorrow, hee hee. Hole up in a conference room and start singing! J/K.
Our afternoon walk was quite windy, with erratic cloudbursts. Ji & I delighted in it. It would have been more amusing if there was a flying cow.
Why am I insisting doing another blog, I'm not sure. Maybe it's part of my blank journal fetish: I collect blank journals, maybe deflower them a few pages in, then let them sit. I am unhappy with myself with this inability to "finish" things.
Or maybe I just want to relive those AT&T days where every single task was logged into the ticketing system.
