March 14, 2008

I spent all week working on an annotation layer for the Town. It was definitely a pain to do and very time consuming. Luckily I didn't have much else exciting to put together. I think it came out fairly well, but if someone wants to take a look and let me know??? Next week I'll have to return to the fun of my fire department tasks.

Otherwise, it's been a slow week. And the office is closed on Friday so I'll have to miss class. I have the sad time of heading to Charleston for a long weekend.

March 7, 2008

Thanks to blogger I managed to lose my entire post, so I'm starting again. I really enjoyed the various exercises with 3D analyst. It's too bad that I won't be able to continue using it at work. Maybe I'll talk them into Spatial Analyst sometime. I'm also looking forward to the labeling exercise, as it will hopefully show me some faster methods to use.

I met with the Fire Department this afternoon. They actually need more than just a map, so Pete I'll need your help with some of the analysis. They will be calculating the total number of roadway miles within a certain distance of the fire stations, as well as the number of hydrants in this perimeter. Then I need to calculate the number of hydrants within 1000 feet of each other. Something for their rating system. It was interesting to hear them plotting how they respond to emergencies, but a bit confusing.

And since our fire marshall is leaving, I'm going to say ciao!
