MapGuide Studio 2009 on 64bit
Posted by Jason Birch in MapGuide on September 25, 2008
I’m not sure I agree with rbranson’s assessment (my guess would be testing and support resources rather than laziness) but this is a pretty useful hack for those of you who want to run MapGuide Studio on 64bit Vista. Poke around in his blog a bit while you’re there; there are some interesting comments about running MapGuide in conjunction with Amazon Web Services that piqued my interest…

and, amazingly enough, the weather for the second largest country in the world isn’t homogeneous either.
I’m so used to Google knowing what I want that this was a bit of a surprise:

Decent entry-level job
Posted by Jason Birch in Nanaimo on September 2, 2008
The group I work for at the City of Nanaimo is looking for someone fresh out of university (3 months experience required) with a Comp Sci degree or equivalent to join our team:

This is an entry-level position, but with experience and good performance it can grow into regular and senior-level jobs. At these levels, the incumbent develops specializations in one or more of the development, database, or spatial areas. Read the entire posting for details, and check out the full job description on the City’s website once it is posted.
It’s up to you to decide whether working with me is a benefit… or not ;)

OK, I’m not sure how much of a best practice this is, but at least it keeps the folks reading your commits via RSS amused, and maybe it will promote more code review. Here are a couple recent examples from the FDO timeline:
