New blog: Everything GIS
Duncan SampleI've started a new blog with a friend, specifically for the discussion of GIS (Geographical Information Systems) related technologies.
The new blog is called Everything GIS and is a joint blog with Nicola Smith, a friend of mine that works as the GIS co-ordinator for the county's Fire Service.
Any GIS-related articles (eg. about Google Maps/Earth) will now be posted to the new blog, but I'll probably post a quick cross-link here pointing to posts over there.
The new blog uses WordPress. I know, I said I wouldn't use it again, but it's just too easy and feature-rich and has things that I couldn't work out how to do myself, even with looking at the code (namely Atom/XML-RPC based posting). I may research other alternatives, as the speed of WordPress isn't great, but over-all I'm quite happy with it for that blog.
It's also the first site to be hosted on my new DreamHost account. I first went for a GoDaddy account, and then changed my mind the next day. I'm glad I did, DreatHost are great! They offer all kinds of features, like Subversion, Ruby on Rails, Shell access and even a Jabber server.
