Comment on Flooding, a weeklong outage, and EC2 by SEWilco

I noticed Wisconsin put together a map showing flooding road closures. You might examine whether Iowa did anything similar…it’s not related to your ISP’s issues, but you might need the info to get around. Particularly if it happens again.

Whatever happened to CS-Map? Its open sourcing was the big announcement from FOSS4G 2008.

I’m sooooo cheap…

That I host http://www.cleverelephant.ca on the Google Pages area that comes with my Google Apps account ($50/year), the blog on blogger (blog.cleverelephant.ca) and all the big files on S3 (s3.cleverelephant.ca). DNS all done with zoneedit.com. So far I haven’t deployed anything non-static, so having a “real system” hasn’t been an issue. Anything I want to demo to clients I just run on the home computer until the demo period is over.

Back in Refractions days, we maintained one server at netnation.com offsite for anything we wanted to be online continuously. Reasonable prices, bigger than mom’n'pop. Still, when the 500 year earthquake hits, I imagine they will go down. If I’m not buried under the rubble, I might even care.

Comment on Importing Spatial References from URLs in GDAL 1.5 by thare

I have been checking out http://spatialreference.org - nice job. Maybe I could put a bug in your ear to help us out with solar system projection encodings? It you take a look at the latest release of FWTools, Frank, recently included the planetary definitions which use the IAU2000 namespace. THe file is called “IAU2000.WKT”. The IAU2000 numbers work like the EPSG codes and they do have a heritage with other planetary community standards as discussed here: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2006/pdf/1931.pdf

I would love to find how these codes might be included on http://spatialreference.org or my website? It would be great to be able to run gdal with a srs from a URL.

thanks.

in terms of the X/Y domain issues this has been resolved at 9.2 with the high precision coordinate storage in ArcSDE. Check out the Understanding Coordinate Management in the Geodatabase white paper for more information.
