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…

GIS, my old new acquaintance
Since my last blog post, I have been diving into GIS a bit more… I have returned to my fist GIS endeavor, QGIS. After my course on ArcGIS Pro, I realized it was just a portion of a larger universe… The one segment I was using is very slick and well put together, but for…

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…

Python and Python Scripting
This post is being created as an example of an area of concern while I am teaching myself… Am I learning the right stuff? I am beginning to look for a new position, and some employers are looking for “Python Scripting”. It was not a phrase I was familiar with and looked it up, but…

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…

Backend Check In
Since my last post, I have kept at it, building the backend to my app (and rebuilding the app itself). A lot of time has been taken up by figuring out what to use. I believe I have settled on Alamofire for the network connection to the “API” (quotes are used here because it is not…

edX Comes to the Rescue
After deciding to not complete (and pay for) the 30 Days of Python, I turned my sights back to edX! I have started the course Using Python for Research, and have just completed the homework for week 2. The homework for week 1 threw me for a loop, and to be honest, I did not complete…
