I've been doing an extra 2 hours a day for the last week, working on the new Spatial Information Management Project at work. The first task was to learn Outlook inside out, something that will take quite a while, and I'll never know it inside out. Next I'm to design a database for entering ANZLIC Metadata Information. It's a system similar to Google Earth, where you can look at satellite images of areas on the ground. The metadata gets entered into the database after all the work has been done, and each little area is defined by the latitude and longitude, and east and west co-ordinates. At this stage I'm still in the dark. As we go along I hope to know more about it. The database itself was quite easy to design, however, the queries are what's got me stumped. My skills don't go much beyond design, so I've had many a night in front of the computer learning how to do things. Learning is the key word here, and just as well I'm in to learning new things. That's nothing compared to what I'll learn as we get more into the GIS (Graphical Information System) stuff. For me it's all new and exciting. Far more challenging than the word processing work I've been doing (and for 4 hours each day am still doing). I've been rather slack with my weblog. I don't know where all the hours go. It's midnight each night before I know it, and now there's work tomorrow to think about. No more 1.30 am to bed. I look like I've been on the turps all night when I haven't had my beauty sleep. :)
