How do YOU code?

No, I’m not talking about any type of programming – that’s way above my head.   I know I’ve been absent for the last few weeks, but I’ve had a bad case of writer’s block.   But today, I’ve had a chance to work on something that I want to document, more for me than anyone else, but I’m in the giving mood so I’ll document here.

After Mark posted our Trimble Dimensions paper, I received a few emails about it, and I’m really happy to see people actually trying to make use of the Survey Database.   Well, in writing that, I think I left something a bit vague, and I’ve since come up with a better way to do things.   Let’s talk about coding features for automated linework – and see how you code.    Follow the link to see what I’m babbling about.

If you’re on a Mac, Mail supports RSS directly inside, similar to Outlook 2007. Either way, RSS feeds let you subscribe to the growing number of blogs without having to visit every day to see if they’ve posted something.

Hi folks – as I sit here in the airport just waiting to get home for Christmas, I have time to waste, so I’m going to let you in on a little trick that I recently learned.    This one is so simple that I feel dumb for not already knowing it, and if you already know it, just breeze over this post.
