Things I got up to in the last week:
Some rambles about each of those:
In Lesson 4 of GEOG 868 I completed a site selection using PostGIS.
The Making Maps unit for the Introduction to Mapping, Spatial Data and GIS course I completed in June featured a tourism case study. The exercise that week was to create a tourist map of Melbourne in Australia.
In Lesson 3 of GEOG 868 I played around with PostgreSQL and PostGIS for the first time. For the project at the end you are given a class_roster.txt

As noted in Hello (GIS) World I was recently working on the first assignment in the QGIS Training Manual. I planned to do 3 things for the assignment:
I am exploring the world of Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
I have been reading the Gentle Introduction to GIS from the QGIS documentation and also working through the QGIS Training Manual. In the last couple of weeks I completed the first assignment.
