I didn’t go to WhereCamp5280, but I got to watch it on ustream. It’s close enough right. (thanks to Dave Bouman)
I watched a couple of sesions, but the one that really stands out for me is the one with James Fee sharing a google map hack for searching for Rest services.
ok… open google map and [...]
The neck bones connected to the IName

With the help of a developer friend in my office I was able to work my way through the ESRI resource page and pieced together enough code to reach my first programming goal:
Public Sub RemoveSpatialIndex()
Dim pGxApp As IGxApplication
Set pGxApp = Application
Dim pGxObject As IGxObject
Set pGxObject = pGxApp.SelectedObject
Dim pName As IName
Set pName = pGxObject.InternalObjectName

Something simple

I am probably like many GIS Analysts out there and would love some simple changes to be made to the ArcMap / ArcCatalog interface. I spend a lot of time editing, organizing, and desgining data. I run into shortfalls a lot.
So I want to start programming some simple buttons that will allow me to work [...]

An open letter to ESRI:

OK… the podcast launch is going slow. But, as always I am learning new things about GIS.
So what have I learned recently.
ESRI ModelBuilder models and Python Geoprocessing scripts don’t work for me. Somehow, in the process of creating a model I ran into a bug at every turn.
While building a model I learned that Field [...]

Cell Phone Maps

I was listening to Buzz Out Loud and heard about a need for a cell phone carrier strength/complaint map. I think this could be a great project to try out using GeoRSS and google mapping.
I always wanted to setup a way to drive around with a computer, cellphone, and gps unit to map the signal [...]
