I’ve recently been trying to learn Rust for use in embedded projects. One of the things that I sometimes return to when learning a new language where it’s hard to immediately dive in is Project Euler. Whenever I do this type of problem, though, I wind up being moderately interested in “code golf” with ever-smaller answers.

I created a guide, PostGIS Mapping and Plotting, that covers the installation of GIS tools, importing Wake County’s GIS data, and creating a sample data plot using R. I’ll be releasing more projects as I explore the area around where I live; I’m curious about demographics, points of interests, businesses and their finances (there’s a lot of vacant retail space), etc. Stay tuned!

Hello World! I’ve started publishing a website, something that I’ve toyed around with doing for quite a while now. With this, I’ll be documenting projects that I work on for posterity and hopefully others will get some use out of it. I’ve had lots of little things that I’ve done over the years that I forget the steps for, so even though I’ve figured it out once I have to learn it all over again if I want to duplicate or improve it.
