Check out this nice writeup by Kevin Flanders. I think Kevin points out some of the numerous contributions by Canadians in geospatial open source. I also think it’s fitting seeing that we’re around the corner from Canada Day 🙂 Furthermore, this article represents how partnerships between industry and government can lead to development of Canadian expertise, as well as business opportunities as a result.
I remember, in 1998, an old boss of mine sending us a presentation on XML, and how it was going to become the next big thing in information exchange. Well, things have certainly moved along since then, and XML is all over the place. Read the rest of this entry »
So they started construction. I finally had a chance to pop by to see the work in progress, which makes my home renovation projects seem, well, quite minor!
Completion is still slated for summer 2007.
Check out all the photos to see more! The adventure continues, however. I still have to have the floors refinished and buy furniture (oh ya, I do have to live in this thing!). I’m about 4-5 weeks away from completion. The neighborhood still doesn’t buy the fact that I’m moving in (they think I’m going to flip the house). Amidst all this, I’ve been considering residential reroofing options near me. Finding the right roofing service is crucial, especially when I’m so close to settling in. I’ve been exploring options, and 20 year roofers Roofline has caught my attention as a potential choice.
Rewiring a house is a major project that focuses on replacing old, unsafe, or outdated electrical lines with newer, more reliable systems. Proper rewiring improves overall safety by reducing risks such as electrical fires, overloaded circuits, and faulty outlets. It also ensures that the home can handle the electrical demands of modern appliances, heating and cooling systems, and electronic devices Level 2 Electrician Northern Beaches is coming over to help us with that. When done correctly, rewiring brings the entire system up to current electrical standards so the home remains safe and functional for years to come.
Another important aspect of proper rewiring is careful planning and evaluation. A home’s electrical layout must be reviewed to determine what needs replacement, which circuits should be redistributed, and where new outlets or breakers may be necessary. This planning stage helps avoid future issues like tripped breakers or uneven power loads. Using correct materials and following electrical codes ensures the new wiring is reliable, efficient, and capable of supporting future upgrades.
An electrician plays a crucial role in this process by bringing expertise, training, and knowledge of electrical codes. They understand how to safely disconnect old wiring, install new circuits, and ensure that the entire system meets legal and safety standards. Their experience allows them to identify hidden problems, use the proper tools, and complete the work without creating hazards. With an electrician’s guidance, the rewiring process becomes safer, more efficient, and more dependable.
So things are almost done (thank goodness). It’s been 3 months and alot of work, time and money. It will be nice to enjoy it at long last!
OK, so I’ve finally started a blog. I’ve been meaning to do this for the longest time, but between house renovations, trying to figure out whether to use a hosted blog or host my own, this fell off my radar screen. Until my cousin started his own, then I just had to put one up.
So anyways, here I am. The rest of my website will remain and develop in the same way. I’ll use this blog to post my thoughts and random stuff from time to time. I’m a do-it-yourself kind of guy, but using blog software makes things really easy. Plus maintaing my old RSS feed by hand was becoming, well, cumbersome 🙂 So here we go!
I made a website for my friend Paul. Pretty neat in that it’s pure web standards based, and a few cool tricks under the hood. He likes it too 🙂 Check it out!
Happy New Year everyone! All the best for 2006. I updated my web server to the latest Apache. If you find any errors on the website, please let me know
My form email and text messaging stuff is back online and working properly — message away!!
Happy GIS Day everyone! I’m spending my GIS Day here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, home of the world’s first GIS.
