Object Relational Mapping Sucks!
2008-06-25 06:32:00 For reporting, that is. And doesn’t handle concurrency! Unless you don’t expose setters. I guess it depends, doesn’t it? Well, that was Ted’s assertion in his recent Pragmatic Architecture column on data access. But, “it depends” doesn’t get the system built, does it? So, here are some rules for using o/r mapping that will get you 99% of the ...

Text2MindMap Turns Indents into Ideas [Mind Mapping]
2008-05-30 15:10:00 You might have heard about the power of mind mapping from studious co-workers or, say, a certain blog, but never had the drive to jump in and start sketching. Text2MindMap, a free visualization web app, makes turning your ideas into node-based maps as easy as hitting Tab. Type or paste text into an input box, using indents to break up your ideas into categories, and then customize the font size, node colors, and more. When you’re done messing with your map, download it in JPEG format (interactive Flash downloads are said to be coming soon), and there’s no limit to how many you can create.

MAPPING START-UP SOCIALIGHT OPENS API
2008-05-07 22:05:00 For something so focused on navigation and geography, it's a bit ironic that location-based social networks have to work their way through such a jungle: carrier partnerships, handset compatibility, creepy privacy concerns, and what-have-you. But one small New York start-up, Socialight, says it's found a route: Developers, developers, developers. Socialight, which focuses on user-created city maps and whose founders insist that location-based mobile services can have functions other than stalking your friends, announced Wednesday that it has opened its application program interface (API). This will let developers mesh Socialight into applications for mobile platforms like Apple's iPhone, Google's Android software, and other devices and operating systems equipped with location-aware technology like GPS and cell tower triangulation. The start-up is also open-sourcing its mobile Java application along with the API. "There are other APIs out there for tracking where your friends a...

UV mapping done, now to the next stage?detailing and patching.
2008-04-25 18:40:00 Here we got a pretty uneven UV patched texture with some borderlines of different color shading. First need some paint skills to make the color gap even, then later I will add extra details like door lines, grooves, body rivets, grilling, object shadows and some necessary details to make the models looks real and authentic.
UV Mapping & texture templating
2008-04-25 16:06:00 I've just done creating texture templates for wrapping the models meshes. Now comes to UV mapping process to map all unmapped 3d meshes. I used non-linear UV mapped which is most effective way to minimized the used of texture on the templates and increase the use of detailed texture per-pixel. Non-linear is an advantage but will be disadvantage for some game simulator or some game which enables linear mapping for custom ingame texture painting. As for me what the heck i just do what i'm capble of. Beside you can simply re-edit/repaint manually the texture either in TGA, DDS, TIF or any supported format for models under respective game port.

How Mapping Can Market Your Sales History
2008-04-21 05:45:00 This is the first of a series of posts I’m writing about creative ways to utilize mapping in real estate. I will show how a real estate agent can display their total history of home sales (or any other data for that matter) and showcase it on a WordPress blog using Google Maps. This unique approach to transparency may prove helpful for those agents that have a thriving sales history in a particular county, city or even neighborhood. Possibly rounding out the about me page. I will not be using Google MyMaps to accomplish this goal because it does not have an import feature. You would need to plot each sale, one by one. So those of you that have vast sales histories would have a labor intensive process. Also when done hand plotting the addresses, you would not be able to use that data again. (It’s not in a raw data file such as text delimited, csv or spreadsheet etc.) So I will have you start by compiling a complete list of your sold properties in a spreadsheet. You ...

Improve iPhone/touch location mapping database
2008-04-12 09:50:00 The ‘Find Me’ location feature in Google Maps on the iPhone and iPod touch is great, but if you are in an area with wireless access points that have yet to be mapped by Skyhook (the company that provides the location-acces point data for Apple), your shown location will rely upon cellphone tower position alone and so be far less accurate. Recently, Jazzdogg on the Australian MacTalk forum contacted Skyhook with regard to manually submitting the longitude/latitude of his own access point to improve the location feature. read it here macosxhints.com

Mapping house buying
2008-04-08 00:18:00 I really like the user interface provided by Globrix to look at houses for sale, in particular the Google Maps integration. It's certainly much better than the UI of Right Move, although Property Bee adds immense power to Right Move and doesn't currently integrate with Globrix. One thing missing from Globrix is the ability to save properties, but apparently that will be coming along shortly. So if we ever move house, finding a new one should be much easier than in the past.

Carp Fishing - Fishery Homework and Lake Mapping
2008-04-06 01:22:00 Carp Fishing - Doing Your Venue HomeworkVery few carp anglers seem to do their own homework these days. Just recently there have been a few debates about some north west carp anglers wanting everything handed to them on a plate. I’ve commented before on how easy it is to just log onto a carp fishing forum and ask what water, what bait and where do I cast?. How any carp angler can pat himself on the back and be pleased at catching a fish when he owes most of it to somebody else’s hard work is beyond me. It does seem that carp fishing is full of the kind of people who’s attitude is ‘I want it, I want it now and I don’t care how I get it’. Carp forums in particular seem to attract these type of anglers in numbers.Working things out for yourself and catching carp on your own terms is so much more rewarding than stooping to begging for information on a carp forum. Imagine the scenario, you’ve just joined a carp water, you know its got some big carp in and catching them is y...

3.65GHz Mapping Service
2008-04-01 04:29:00 Free 3.65GHz Mapping Service The 3.65 GHz [semi] licensed band that the FCC enacted last summer, may provide a real opportunity to provide broadband wireless, especially in rural areas. It is “lightly” licensed with WiMAX gear available from several providers. Alzustar is planning to use 3.65 GHz in some of their municipal wireless projects using equipment from Airspan and Redline. One catch; there is an exclusion zone around certain satellite earth stations that use nearby frequencies. But, reports Tim Sanders, there is no easy way on the FCC site to search via zip code, GPS coordinate or city name to find a listing of these Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) operators. Now two groups Zing Wireless (an independent wireless ISP) and WirelessGuys (an equipment distributor and integrator) have collaborated on a simple solution — here.

Mind Mapping Your Dreams for Interpretation
2008-03-13 21:29:00 After posting several articles on dream interpretation and mind mapping your dreams, a commenter asked if I had an example of how I mind map my dreams. In this post you will see a jpg of a sample mind map I created using “Mindjet MindManager” software yet doing a Wikipedia search will yield some great hand drawn mind maps. As you look at the photo you can see that I try to explain each symbol all alone and emanating further out. Then I create an offshoot or a cloud off that symbol with what the meaning of the symbol is to me. From there you can see that as I dream I notice the same symbols or meanings come up over and over. Once I know a symbol or I know what a series of symbols means, I can associate them to other dreams down the line. Eventually you start to recognize the meanings quicker because you recognize the pattern. It’s not perfect, your meanings for a dream might change as you grow but the thread of meaning is always there. I use mind mapping to b...

Google Mapping Military Installations Banned
2008-03-07 19:43:00 The Pentagon banned the Internet giant's digital-mapping vehicles from all military installations after detailed photographs of Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio appeared on Google Maps. "We don't have any issues regarding Google and their products, which are very useful tools," Ross said. "But the Street View provides clear imagery of control points, barriers, headquarters and security facilities that pose a risk to our force-protection efforts." Google, based in Mountain View, Calif., said it erred in collecting the information from the base and has since complied with the military's request to take down the images.Source & Full Story: LA Times

Pentagon doesn't want Google mapping out their bases
2008-03-07 07:43:00 The US defence department has banned the giant internet search engine Google from filming inside and making detailed studies of US military bases.A message sent to all Defense Department bases and installations around the country late last week told officials to not allow the popular mapping website from taking panoramic views inside the facilities.Close-up, ground-level imagery of US military sites posed a "potential threat" to security, it said.The move follows the discovery of images of the Fort Sam Houston army base in Texas on Google Maps."Images include 360-degree views of the covered area to include access control points, barriers, headquarters, facilities and community areas," said the defence department in a statement quoted by AFP news agency.It said such detailed mapping could pose a threat.Google spokesman Larry Yu said the decision by a Google team to enter the Texas base and undertake a detailed survey, had been "a mistake".He said that where the US military had expres...
