This is my default career advice for people starting out in geo/GIS, especially remote sensing, adapted from a response to a letter in 2013.

I'm currently about to start a Geography degree at the University of [Redacted] at [Redacted] with a focus in GIS, and I've been finding that I have an interest in working with imagery. Obviously I should take Remote Sensing and other similar classes, but I'm the type of person who likes to self learn as well. So my question is this: What recommendations would you give to a student who is interested in working with imagery? Are there any self study paths that you could recommend?

I learned on my own and on the job, and there are a lot of important topics in GIS that I don’t know anything about, so I can’t give comprehensive advice. I haven’t arrived anywhere; I’m just ten minutes ahead in the convoy we’re both in. Take these recommendations critically.

Find interesting people. You’ll learn a lot more from a great professor (or mentor, or friend, or conference) o

Install Gitlab on webfaction

November 2014

I wanted to install gitlab on my shared hosting server at webfaction and here's how I did it. Be warned it's a memory hog. I couldn't get it below 450Mb. Also... this is for their newer 64 bit servers. I tried on a 32 bit server and didn't want to waste a day tracking down dependencies.

Create app for gitlab

Create a new app (using python)

Automation for the People

Long ago, the first time I read "The Pragmatic Programmer", I read some advice that really stuck with me.

"Don't Use Manual Procedures".

This in the chapter on Ubiquitous Automation. To summarize, they want you to automate all the things.

The trouble was that I hadn't much of an idea how to actually go

	REMOTE REQUESTS:
	com.sadun.airflick
	RequestType := show-photo \| play-media \| screenshot
	MediaLocation :=
	<url string> \| <local file path string> \| <array of local file path strings for slideshow>
	Rotation := 0 \| 1 \| 2 \| 3 (0 ^, 1 <, 2 v, 3 >)
	Transition := SlideRight \| Dissolve
	SlideDuration := 2 \| 3 \| 5 \| 8 \| 10 (Use strings. Incorrect durations default to 5)

	// Single Slide

	# xcode-build-bump.sh
	# @desc Auto-increment the build number every time the project is run.
	# @usage
	# 1. Select: your Target in Xcode
	# 2. Select: Build Phases Tab
	# 3. Select: Add Build Phase -> Add Run Script
	# 4. Paste code below in to new "Run Script" section
	# 5. Drag the "Run Script" below "Link Binaries With Libraries"
	# 6. Insure that your starting build number is set to a whole integer and not a float (e.g. 1, not 1.0)

	You need:

	- Ethernet Shield
	- Sparkfun Serial LCD Kit
	- Webduino library https://github.com/sirleech/Webduino
	- Buzzer (optional)
