Today on my Windoze XP machine at work, I installed Apache 2.0.5 and PHP 5.0.1 locally for development. Previously, I had a mapped drive to our server, and I would copy/paste files from my machine to the server, then reload the page in the browser. Repeat 5,895 times. Okay, so maybe not that many times, [...]
Today would have been Priss’ 5th birthday. Part of me wonders would have I even remembered her birthday if she were still here today. Perhaps not. We sometimes tend to take things (like having someone you love around for another year, a.k.a., birthdays) for granted. You think the ones close to you will always be [...]
Note: This post inspired by Timmy’s “Ode to Smelly Hat” We’ve been together for many years now, you and I have, eh? I got you from a Town Pump gas station in the-middle-of-nowhere Montana back in the summer of ’99 (no, not the summer of ’69, that would be a crappy Bryan Adams song). Who [...]
This isn’t rocket science, but I found it useful (once I got it right), especially when you have 20,000 records to extract the day from, as I often do. This works for dates formatted as such: 1/1/2001 (without leading zeros on the month or day) and will give you the day, in the above case: [...]
So I wrenched with this simple calculation at work for about a day and a half. Something to do with soil test phosphorous input for one of our SWAT models. If I tell you any more than that, you’ll either stop reading this or fall asleep. So I thought I was attempting to convert something [...]
To quote the old man from the movie “A Christmas Story”: “It’s here, it’s here, hot damn it’s here!” My new second monitor finally got here today! Now I have dual 18-inch LCDs, and it is truly a beautiful thing. Except now I just have figure out how to get twice the amount of work [...]
So I broke down and got a new toy the other day. We needed a camera to get pics of the youngin’, and my old digital wasn’t cuttin’ it anymore. I was kickin’ it old-school, big time. So the decision had to be made — film or digital?? I wanted an SLR for the features, [...]
I had a post a few days ago about data, and how it made my happy, and how that was kinda pathetic. And that got me to thinking – What’s the largest raster I’ve processed?…..Hhhmmmm. Well, here it is: I needed to make shaded relief maps for our site at work, like the one seen [...]
We went to the Rodeo of the Ozarks tonight for the first time. It has rained here everyday for the past two weeks, and looked like it was going to clear up for this evening. Wrong. It started getting very black to the north around 8:00, and conveniently around intermission, they announced that everyone had [...]
It’s kinda sad when you get excited over data. But this isn’t just data, it’s data that will make my life a little bit easier. My boss bought me the 7.5-minute DRGs (Digital Raster Graphics) for the entire State of Oklahoma on CD from Charttiff. I already have the Arkansas set, and having them has [...]
