Refining WeoGeo
One nice thing about having such a stable and robust infrastructure is that you can start focusing on the little things that make using WeoGeo just so wonderful.
Don’t Use GDAL Virtual Formats? Read Up!
A couple weeks ago I was working with Dan Dye on a project using GDAL. Dan wondered why I wasn’t working with virtual formats rather than at the time GeoTIFF. With Dan’s prodding, I quickly got up to speed on using VRT and fell in love.
If VRT with GDAL/OGR is news to you, head on over to Paolo Corti’s blog and read up on the power of GDAL virtual formats.

Esri Merges Most of Their Blogs — Time to Re-Subscribe to Their Feeds
Yesterday I noticed that there were new blog posts in my Esri feeds from groups that I hadn’t subscribed to before.
https://twitter.com/jamesmfee/status/177184161294073856
What happened was that Esri combined all their “ArcGIS for” blogs into one massive “ArcGIS Blog”.
For the past few years the various ArcGIS product development teams have hosted a few dozen separate blogs covering the width of the ArcGIS system. Now we have pulled those together into a single ArcGIS Blog so that you can more easily browse, subscribe to, learn from, and stay up-to-speed on the latest information from all our engineers and developers. In addition, the single blog reflects ArcGIS as a system and allows us to better tell big picture implementation stories that we couldn’t in the fragmented system.
So now you’ll have to unsubscribe from your existing Esri feeds as many of them will stop working or give you topics you didn’t mean to subscribe to and do this:
While redirects are in place, we suggest that you update your feeds at your earliest convenience. This will eliminate the duplication of posts that you may be seeing in your RSS Readers if you subscribed to more than one of the team blogs. You can subscribe to the entire blog feed (http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/feed/) or you can subscribe only to those categories or tags that are of interest to you, http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/category/arcgis-online/feed/ or http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/tag/flex/feed/ for example.
I haven’t decided what to do with Esri and Planet Geospatial yet. I may just wait and see how verbose the ArcGIS Blog is before adding it back into Planet Geospatial.

ArcGIS 10.0 SP4 Released
It appears that Esri has released ArcGIS 10.0 Service Pack 4 today.
- ArcGIS 10 (Desktop, Engine, Server) Service Pack 4

- ArcSDE 10 Service Pack 4
I looked at the issues fixed list and didn’t see anything that was critical. I do feel for the guys that ran into this problem.
