Yesterday and today, I had the distinct pleasure of attending a training session on the current 900 pound gorilla of enterprise–level GIS software, ArcGIS 9.0. Dawn Martin of IGIS Technologies is a certified ESRI Instructor and did a great job.
Well, I thought it was a pleasure. It always pays to keep your skill set current. Job hunt and all that…
Audrey has a great picture of Ian up on her UNLV web page. Bear in mind he is almost (not quite) three. Our day care provider took the picture last Wednesday (September 22).
After hearing about today’s 6.0 earthquake near Parkfield, CA I visited the USGS’s Maps of Recent Earthquake Activity in California-Nevada to check out what the pros had to say. We got to talking at work about the activity at Mt. St. Helen’s (WA) and the Mammoth Lakes (CA) area. Mammoth Lakes data is on that same USGS page, but no MSH info. Tonight, Jack at The People’s Republic of Seabrook had a post about the Mt. St. Helen’s webcam, which led me to The Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network’s Recent Earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest. Ahhhh, I feel better now.
edit 9/30: Duh, what state is Mt. St. Helen’s in, Hal?
I guess the time has come to announce this here. I have set up a WordPress weblog, blivet 2.0, over at a new domain, halrager.org. blivet radio and my old student pages have moved over there as well (for historical interest, I am an archaeologist after all). There may be a Southwest/Great Basin archaeological wiki in the works, we’ll see.
The final step will be moving this site to a format that WordPress can accommodate. The last time I tried, my brain melted, but I know it can be done, thanks to Susan. Of course, just because she can doesn’t mean I can.
A big thanks to Michal at cornerhost for his help in getting things going. Unsolicited plug: I recommend cornerhost for hosting, (Michal runs cornerhost) and GoDaddy for domain services. Everything was pretty painless. I’m a moderately accomplished end user at best, so if I can do this, you can too.
