  • Reviewing the Beginning Again

    It has been too long… Again. I have had an epiphany, I am not sure what I am trying to achieve. For the last few years, I have dabbled in a few different technologies, with no specific goal. Nor with the depth I should have. There are so many areas of “interest”, that it is…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…
