So I waved farewell to my Powerbook in its bag at the check-in desk at Los Angeles Airport, with nothing more to protect than a British Airways fragile label, and watched as it disappeared down a baggage conveyor on its way to the hold of a Boeing 747 along with cases, bags, pushchairs and the …
Hope you like the look of the new edparsons.com, based on a WordPress theme designed by Lisa Sabin of the E.Webscapes design studio, it features a Surveyors Compass, an appropriate icon giving the topic of the blog. I just felt like a change !! and had time on my hands awaiting a long flight home …
I thought it was best to sleep on my thoughts for day 1 of the conference to contemplate what I have heard… I’m still trying to get over seeing AutoCAD and Intergraph GeoMedia demonstrated on Mainstage at a ESRI UC – that’s real interoperability for you. Many people I have spoken to were a little …
