trueSpace for Virtual Earth 3D
Chris Pendleton notes on his blog that Microsoft has released trueSpace for Virtual Earth 3D for free. I think most of us thought this would be the eventual result of Microsoft’s acquisition of Caligari so it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise.
I’ll be honest in that I’ve never used Caligari tools, only SketchUp and at least on the surface it doesn’t appear to support the SketchUp format. Unless you purchase the Pro version of Google SketchUp (and its ability to export more format types), you can’t easily migrate your models to Virtual Earth. Such a shame that Microsoft didn’t make the migration easier.
If only Microsoft put on a little Google this morning we’d have some interoperability

Off to GeoWeb 2008
I’m leaving the oppressive heat of Tempe, AZ for the Pacific Northwest and GeoWeb 2008 this morning. I really can’t recall the last time I looked more forward to a conference than this one, should be a real blast. It has been years since I’ve been back to Vancouver.
I’ve been able to piece together a history of Canada from movies.

Comparing SQL Server 2008, MySQL and PostgreSQL/PostGIS
Regina Obe has developed a table to compare the new SQL Server 2008 with PostgreSQL/PostGIS (with MySQL thrown in there to boot). The table does a wonderful job showing the comparative strengths and weaknesses of all three relational databases.

ArcGIS 9.2 SP6 Released
ESRI has released ArcGIS 9.2 SP6. All those who are unlucky enough to be working though the weekend can get ahead of the rest of us who will spend out Monday morning downloading and installing SP6 on our our workstations.
Me? I’ll be on the couch all weekend watching the British Open.
Some wear their ESRI T-Shirt while climbing mountains, I wear it while watching golf.”
