Looks interesting. Have you had any luck trying to get the scan button to work in linux?

Thanks! This was concise and worked right off the bat for me (note that Postgres is now at 8.3 - just update the number and everything will work fine)

What would be even cooler (and greener) would be to modularize the entire setup into a micro-community. A main building could serve as a living area/dormitory to multiple residents, whose commute would be no further than a short walk to their office modules. Services such as entertainment and libraries could also be subsidized by the community and modularized, which would also foster more interpersonal interaction. In short, you would have a nifty hybrid of an apartment complex, a pseudo-co-op and a working office. Modularizing the structures would also allow you to intersperse the entire complex with green spaces, and the smaller modules might be able to run entirely off of solar collectors and other alternative energy sources.

sorry, a little confused here.
these lines:

$ psql -d mytestdb -f /usr/share/postgresql-8.1-postgis/lwpostgis.sql
$ psql -d mytestdb -f /usr/share/postgresql-8.1-postgis/spatial_ref_sys.sql

are ok? or should they be:

$ psql -d geodb -f /usr/share/postgresql-8.1-postgis/lwpostgis.sql
$ psql -d geodb -f /usr/share/postgresql-8.1-postgis/spatial_ref_sys.sql

as for the example to work…?

Your post was quite a help, but i’m still confused about that, dunno if a must run those sql’s on my db or on some other geo-stuff db.

Thanks.

This is a very convenient script. I did have 2 small problems though. I had to install the tiff package and an english language package for tesseract. I’m using this script with an HP C2780 and it works great. I’m emptying out my filing cabinet (and filling up my HD). Thanks.

Very cool map. It’s crazy how visible the smoke was from space, being that people (me included) were only a few miles away. I was surprised how quickly everyone moved on — I think it helped that the Chargers won at home that week!
