New Job at Work

|

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. :)

Theodore Roosevelt

"It is not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause. Who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

:: (1858-1919) 26th U.S. President (1901-09)
