I should be there... ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

What poker game is it for? I also see the final is in late November but different games have differing dates. I may be interested. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

There was a little tiny box waiting for me when I walked in the door today. I had to change the way my wireless network is set up but thats OK. I had a WEP with a Shared Key but the XO didn't seem to like it. (even tryed the Wpa.sh file) Easy fix though, MAC filtering set to Allow on listed MAC address. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Still waiting for my XO. Hey Howard, can you give some update on the laptop? ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Damn it. I wanted to be the first to post a pic. I ordered mine on the first day,November 12th, at 9 in the morning. I did get this in an email this morning however: Dear OLPC Donor, We are very sorry to report that your XO laptop will not be arriving by December 24. If your laptop is a gift for a child, please click here to download a gift card explaining that an XO laptop is on its way. Your laptop is scheduled to be delivered before January 15. ------- D.T.

I am not sure what, if anything, they already have. I am simply estimating what we will need to include to cover possible request for data. Oil companies or notorious for saying they want one thing then act surprised when you give then exactly what they asked for and it doesn't do everything under the sun. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

We will most likely start with a single workstation installation but will be working towards providing data tables to clilents. In short here is the vision: We use ultrasonics to measure the thickness of pipes/vessels/tanks primarily for the petroleum industry. (this is state mandated/regulated work) We know that our clients, mainly large oil companies, are working on GIS systems for their regulated equipment. If we can gather the GPS data (thinking of using Trimble devices with error correction) while we are performing the inspections we can build our models of the pipelines and other equipment and then supply the same to the clients systems. The area would be roughly 60x30 miles square. There will be 5 or 6 areas inside this area where most of the data will be congregated. Themes= huh? Extensions = huh? I see the backend database as having the following fields associated with each data point. Main table: Unique ID Lat Long Alt Client General Site Specific Site Sub Site Equip. Type Product Temp Flow Size Required thickness allowable corrosion rate Sub table: Unique ID reference Measurement date Measurement thickness Thickness remaining (calculated) corrosion rate Other fields and/or table will surely be added to make the data easier to migrate/incorporate into existing, or future, client systems. There may be a CMMS tie in (Maximo, or MP2) and possible connections to other databases.) I am already on the ESRI newsletter list and will be attending a user group meeting in Southern California next month. I am also considering the self paced training provided by ESRI and/or the instructor lead training in Sacramento CA or Redlands CA. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

OK, so my boss walks up and says, "You know that GIS system we talked about implementing, your now in charge of making that happen." At first I thought, OK, I have a some idea on what I am up against... Now I am starting to think I don't have a clue. As such I turn to the Dropzone forum for help. (I almost posted this in the Ask Sunshine thread but thought better of it?) Is there someone here who is fairly knowledgeable in GIS and would LOVE to help a brotha out? ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

No, that would be a second opinion. Much like the second doctor saying, "your ugly too!" ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

It appears that I can send email from Dropzone.com but I am not receiving emails. Can someone confirm this? Thanks. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Valthera - the Tiger. (could have been worse ) ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Thanks J. Yep Ben and I knocked each other out (main and late games) so its all good. Heres to seeing more people next week. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

I took second in the main tourney but did have a nice come back. With 6 players left I started the hand with 270 in chips, out of the 30,000 on the table. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Yeah the bubble sucks. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

I will be there. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

I was on a cruise ship 6 weeks ago. The coffee was sooooo bad that I refused. The soda was 71.50 for the unlimited or 2.50 each. I just drank water/juice and took pain killers the whole cruise. (heavy on the pain killers) Amazingly I am still off the caffeine 6 weeks later. I was at roughly 120 ounces of coffee and 2 or 3 diet Pepsi's a day. Now it water, juice, and yes tequilla. I think once I was past the actual physical addiction it was just habit to have a coffee or soda around. I know I was productive but I was also quite twitchy. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Here are my last picture from Cal-City, taken on the last day of operations. While I did not jump there often enough I will miss many people there. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

I had a beeper (pager) as recently as 4 weeks ago. Emergency Response pager for week. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

I have not jumped there but I was in the port (cruise ship) and watched someone land next to the beach. I was thinking I would aim AT the beach but... The best part was the guy next to me thought it was a para-sail that came loose from the boat. I just walked away. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

4 used tires with sign that read "Free" - Sat there for days. Change sign to $20. Gone overnight! ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

First let me get this out of the way, I WON. It was another good poker although a bit light on the number of players. (11) Everyone was, as usual, very polite and more than happy to tell you nice hand or nice river. Heres to seeing everyone again next week. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Congrats. When my wife was sworn in we had the following conversation. me: Now I know where the soul is located in the human body. her: where? me: under your right arm. her: what makes you say that? me: because they made you raise your right hand to be sworn in and I realized that it was just a ploy to remove the last of your soul. :) ------- D.T.

Very Nice! ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy
