| 00:51:12 | : | <_wolf_> please don't yell... |
| 00:51:41 | : | <_wolf_> mindspit: then try #mapguide |
| 00:51:53 | mindspit: | ok thanks : ) |
| 01:53:36 | : | <_wolf_> Testbaudson: hey. I'll try but I can't promise anything |
| 01:55:56 | Testbaudson: | _wolf_: thanks! |
| 01:57:54 | : | <_wolf_> Testbaudson: mail sent |
| 01:58:00 | : | <_wolf_> let's hope for the best |
| 01:59:41 | Testbaudson: | _wolf_: can you ( b )cc me? |
| 02:10:22 | Testbaudson: | _wolf_: thanks |
| 02:12:07 | aghisla: | _wolf_: what about duplicated accepted students? I guess I'm not one, no communication until now |
| 02:12:26 | : | <_wolf_> aghisla: you are not a dupe |
| 02:12:50 | : | <_wolf_> we have one, but it's not you ; ) |
| 02:13:00 | aghisla: | thanks _wolf_ |
| 02:13:34 | pse: | Hello, I'm looking for a C or Python or other implementation of the inverse projection for Transverse Mercator given in Snyder's "Map projections - a working manual". I'm trying to implement that for a Python project but I keep getting errors at the order of tenths of degrees. |
| 02:14:05 | pse: | I'm wondering if that's the accuracy I can expect with the number of series expansion terms used in that book, or if I'm doing something wrong. |
| 02:14:44 | pse: | Does anyone know where to find one? |
| 03:19:47 | crschmidt: | pse: out of curiosity, what are you comparing to when finding your error? |
| 03:22:21 | pse: | crschmidt: A numerical example in the book ( which is using specialised computation parameters for that ellipsoid instead of the generic formula I have implemented ), some numerical examples from the Swedish Geographical Survey, some examples from online map services that show both geographical and projected coordinates for the same points. |
| 03:22:28 | : | * crschmidt nods |
| 03:22:36 | pse: | It's always a couple of tenths of degrees off, particularly the latitude. |
| 03:22:50 | crschmidt: | I questioned only because many online mapping services like GOogle o OpenLayers don't use Snyders mercator projection |
| 03:23:05 | crschmidt: | they use a simplified form that is going to differ in latitude |
| 03:23:16 | crschmidt: | But if you're comparing to the book, then my comments are irrelevant |
| 03:23:34 | crschmidt: | Based on my previous implementations of it, I would expect significantly higher accuracy than that, to answer your question |
| 03:23:40 | pse: | Hm. |

| 03:25:14 | crschmidt: | If they are of any interest to you. BUt I don't think that's your issue. |
| 03:25:33 | pse: | Do I need higher precision datatypes than standard double-precision floats? |
| 03:25:52 | crschmidt: | No, I do'nt think so. |
| 03:25:53 | pse: | Thanks, I'll have a look at that link. |
| 03:54:04 | pse: | Ah! I had misread one paranthesis in the "Map projections" PDF. Easy to do when it's a scanned PDF of so-so quality. |
| 03:54:32 | pse: | Now I'm down to 6 digit accuracy in the inverse projections. I lose, Snyder win. = ) |
| 05:53:08 | mindspit: | where can i find arcsde 9.2 for linux ? |
| 05:55:08 | j03lar50n: | i don't think Arc*.* supports Linux |
| 05:57:33 | mindspit: | how can i then install mapguide on linux ? |
| 05:57:48 | mindspit: | http://server:8008/mapguide/mapagent/ is empty ? |

| 06:05:49 | FrankW: | mindspit: there is also a #mapguide channel where you might find some specific mapguide advice. |
| 06:58:03 | mindspit: | no ubuntu support |

| 12:31:13 | tomkralidis: | hobu ( or others ): can trac connect to an svn repo on sourceforge.net? |
| 12:31:52 | wildintellect: | tomkralidis, my understanding from trac is that it cannot connect to any svn outside the server where trac is |
| 12:31:55 | FrankW: | To the best of my knowledge the svn instance needs to be local to the machine trac is running on. |
| 12:32:14 | wildintellect: | you can however mirror the svn from sourceforge over to the trac server |
| 12:32:27 | FrankW: | good point! |
| 12:32:35 | wildintellect: | tomkralidis, fyi sourceforge offers trac sites |

| 12:33:13 | tomkralidis: | wildintellect, FrankW: thanks. I'm thinking this in terms of geonetwork |
| 12:33:34 | FrankW: | geonetwork's svn is at sourceforge? |
| 12:33:38 | wildintellect: | yup |
| 12:33:43 | wildintellect: | mailing lists too |
| 12:33:48 | FrankW: | It might be worth migrating if an OSGeo trac is desired. |
| 12:34:42 | ticheler: | we use OSGeo trac |
| 12:34:55 | ticheler: | but it is not linked to the SVN directly indeed |
| 12:35:38 | wildintellect: | sounds like the options are to either migrate or to mirror the svn |
| 12:36:13 | ticheler: | mirroring could be interesting |
| 12:36:35 | ticheler: | but I think we'll take that discussion up when we meet in Bolsena in June |
| 15:19:23 | TylerM: | Anyone got a favourite PDF previewing method for their web site/pages? |
| 15:19:45 | TylerM: | issuu.com is nice, but seems to crash me a lot :( .. especially in mid-blog-post :( |
| 15:24:09 | darkblue_B: | ?? isnt this built in to most browsers now? |
| 15:25:01 | TylerM: | hi darkblue_B - oh, i meant something slicker, like a flash interface to turning pages a bit nicer. |
| 15:25:09 | TylerM: | not worth spending much time on though : ) |
| 15:25:19 | darkblue_B: | I thought issuu was pretty cool |
| 15:29:20 | TylerM: | darkblue_B: are you on windows? |
| 15:29:27 | darkblue_B: | not I |
| 15:29:33 | TylerM: | just curious if it works on linux or not.. for some reason I thought it didn't. |
| 15:29:38 | TylerM: | okay, sry ;- ) |
| 15:29:49 | darkblue_B: | it did for me |
| 15:30:21 | darkblue_B: | I got the prompt for some flash plug in, Adobe's and two others, I chose Adobes, it installed and it worked |
| 15:30:35 | TylerM: | sweet, thanks |
| 15:30:55 | TylerM: | I'm in Macintosh never-never land.. so I never-never know it all is well on the other side of the fence( s ) |

| 17:59:41 | darkblue_B: | actually, FF3 / Ubuntu 8.04 is stuck |
| 17:59:47 | darkblue_B: | youtube on the same machine works |
| 17:59:56 | j03lar50n: | is this the brochure - just stepped in? |
| 18:07:29 | wildintellect: | TylerM, scribd |
| 18:09:19 | wildintellect: | ha, I thought so, they folded them the wrong way in the shipment I got |
| 18:17:11 | wildintellect: | that link seems to work fine for me - ubuntu 8.04 64bit |
| 19:24:25 | TylerM: | wildintellect: ahh no way :S |
| 19:37:05 | wildintellect: | ya no kidding, flash is has been the bain of my setup for years |
| 20:17:47 | TylerM: | wildintellect: and they still looked ok? heh - except for the crazy globe graphic I bet?! |
| 20:18:00 | TylerM: | ( which only looks good if not mirrored : ) ) |
| 22:13:30 | wildintellect: | oh they looked fine, it was just odd cause it was upside down when you opened it |
