Phantom Update From Microsoft
May 14th, 2008 · No Comments
So that was interesting. I’m sitting here, drinking my morning coffee — catching up on news, messages, and whatnots — and in comes an update from Microsoft. But, once the update was done downloading — the shield icon disappeared without notifying me whether or not I wished to update.
So what’s up, Microsoft? I looked through […]

- Thu, 24 Apr 2008 at 10:07 pm · Okay, I have to speak up here — and point-out that it was what the tax-payers originally agreed to. In fact, I dropped ASPRS membership when I was asked to sign a document that approves of this current administration’s outline to make the 2011 Landsat Continuity Mission a commercialized venture moving forward. This shouldn’t be news — this should prompt a clarified explanation as to why it wasn’t set-up that way from day one! I’m still waiting on any reaction to the public being ill informed on the smaller fault-lines and whether the USGS will ever incorporate that seismic monitoring in their datasets — as was highlighted by the recent St. Louis quake. · (0)

That just kind of says it all about what’s been happening, doesn’t it? I’ve been watching this progressively change since the play against Yahoo! and the recent visa request in Congress — and sure enough, there it is. The trend does not lie.

April 4th, 2008 · No Comments

Redesign, On Hold
March 19th, 2008 · No Comments
I scrapped the idea of redesigning the site for now, in favor of waiting for the final release of WordPress version 2.5. I have a development install of WordPress on another server to work-out the design there — when everything’s ready, I’ll simply transition the template over to do a seamless, instant upgrade.

Envisat Makes First Ever Observation of Regionally Elevated CO2 From Man-made Emissions — ESA, European Space Agency

- Fri, 14 Mar 2008 at 4:10 am · I ran across these two map viewers via Mike Migurski, Mike having involvement with both projects — GSV, or Giant-Ass Image Viewer 1.0, a Javascript and Python library that’ll allow one to generate a viewer for a map, provided as Open Source. And Modest Maps, a Flash equivalent provided as a BSD-license offering. Nicest thing to note with the GSV project — Mike includes a PowersOfTwo.py script, something I typically see lacking in most of these similar types of packages. · (0)

The Google Maps Quicktag for Wordpress plug-in has been updated to include a version for WordPress MU installations, including code contributed by a user.
WordPress MU, by default, does not allow the use of the iframe tag and its attributes, thus preventing the publishing of embedded Google Maps and Street View in MU. What the added […]
