13:08:49 joelar: Have 3 interns to manage now w/ my new job. Looking for 'Intro to GIS using Open Source' type material. Found http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Educational_Content_Inventory#Introduction_to_GIS:_QGIS.2C_GRASS_.26_R but if anyone has any favorites of that nature please share : )
13:08:50 sigq: Title: Educational Content Inventory - OSGeo Wiki ( at wiki.osgeo.org )
13:12:31 TylerM: hi joelar - there are a few books out there too
13:12:41 TylerM: http://www.osgeo.org/books
13:12:44 sigq: Title: Book reviews | OSGeo.org ( at www.osgeo.org )
13:13:19 TylerM: not sure about all of them, but I know mine and Gary's are available to purchase as PDF files
13:13:24 TylerM: in case that matters ; )
13:20:51 joelar: I have both of those wonderful books : ) Will be running the interns through them most definitely!
13:43:25 TylerM: cool! - joelar send any errata my way : ) I know there is some.. that's how I was able to see if my staff were skimming or not ;- )
13:45:56 joelar: you're right in that both the books are good intro's not only to FOSS4G but GIS in general
13:46:51 TylerM: that was part of my goal at least, to demystify some of the data handling GIS'ers end up having to do
14:42:01 wildintellect: joelar, the grass book is good too for people newish to GIS
14:42:16 wildintellect: although only if they don't fear command line
14:59:10 joelar: wildintellect is your spatialite presentation available?
14:59:18 wildintellect: yes
14:59:40 wildintellect: did you not get the email I sent a couple of hours ago
15:00:02 joelar: no, not yet - will keep a heads up, thx

15:01:14 joelar: how much do you want to bet I'll get Websensed?...
15:01:49 joelar: wow - i didn't *excited* .. thx again!
15:02:29 wildintellect: it's stupid to ban things like scribd, there's journal articles, people's cv's etc
15:03:17 wildintellect: now irc, I'm surprised you're connected, are you direct or via mibbit
15:03:58 joelar: yeah - they had it at my old job but they use a stronger filter here. no internet mail at all..sourceforge, more. will be temporary though thank goodness! yeah, IRC...i'm using telascience, it's the only one :D
15:04:11 wildintellect: when I worked for DFG they blocked the ports, I had to tunnel home all the time for stuff or use web interfaces
15:04:58 wildintellect: I gave them a hassle about webmail and other school sites, since I was officially a university researcher on contract with them

17:55:46 darkblue_B: and Google Earth
17:55:58 darkblue_B: I dont use it much myself
17:56:04 darkblue_B: not a hiker/tracker type
17:56:20 darkblue_B: but I know it exists.. its a great thing.. very nice
17:56:36 darkblue_B: substantial, actually
17:56:40 darkblue_B: not fluff
