A little Python Script…
This post is being made because this is not quite worthy of a git repo… But it is an example of how a small script can solve a “problem”. In spring 2022, “Hamilton” was coming to town, and I really wanted to get tickets!!! They announced it multiple months in advance, and I was constantly…

Bounced Back to Elasticsearch
I’m BAAAAACK! To playing with Elasticsearch. I completed the tutorial a few months ago, and have decided to preview a few things for the project that has been in the back if my mind for a few years. (That will be discussed at a later date) “The Project” requires fast search results, but with the…

QGIS revisited
GIS in QGIS 3 for beginners is now complete!. It was chock full of useful information, and helped with a greater overall understand of what GIS can accomplish. The way the class was structured, as a survey, was extremely beneficial. There were a few hiccups… One being the course was recorded using a different version…

More GIS, this time ArcGIS…
I am finding GIS to be very interesting. The most recent tutorial, Exploring Spatial Information using ArcGIS Pro, did a very good job of introducing the product. It had similar elements to my last course for QGIS, but I think it has better structure and explanations. ArcGIS is a paid product, vs QGIS, which is…

Getting into GIS
Today I completed a course on Udemy, Applied GIS in 2022 – Project-based Spatial Analysis in QGIS. It seems to be a good toe tip into the GIS pool. The primary purpose of the tutorial is to familiarize us with purposes, elements and definitions of GIS. And to introduce us to QGIS, the open source…

Elasticsearch!
For longer than I’d like to admit, I kept hearing about this thing called Elasticsearch. Now I have an idea of what it is! Over the last week, I completed the Beginner’s Crash Course to Elastic Stack (YouTube mini videos). I am by no means claiming that I KNOW Elasticsearch, but I believe I have…

Diving Back In. Again…
Well, I allowed my education to take a back seat again… I have relocated to another state, and my goal is to build the skills needed to always get a remote job/career, so I can live anywhere! Fortunately, my progress has not been as stagnant as my postings. I made a page on my GitHub…

Big Step in FreeCodeCamp!
I have been slacking. I can justify the heck out of it, but that does not change the fact that there is no GOOD reason for being lazy the last 30 days or so. But now that I am getting back in the driver’s seat, a big step has finally been completed on FreeCodeCamp. I…

Completion! (Mostly…)
Looking back over some the items I have been trying to learn, I have decided to narrow my focus. It has been getting waaaaay too broad. Primarily, I am cutting out data analytics and Docker for now. I need to figure out how to use the current tools well before jumping in to specialty items…

Mmmmmm, Pi……
And another rabbit hole presented itself to me last night, in the form of the Raspberry Pi! They have recently released a new flavor, the Pi Zero W. It has wifi integrated directly on the board! The local Microcenter had them in stock so I picked one up. It works wonderfully! So I decided to see…
