Participating 26c3 remotely
This week I had time to follow the 26c3 remotley from home via video live streams. And this was a really great and inspirational experience to me. Here is what it looked like on my computer during the conference:
Converting 3DWarehouse models into CityGML
I figured out two different approaches, to get 3DWarehouse SKP/KML/COLLADA models into CityGML, which I want to share with you (this is all very trivial, but If you don't know it, it can cost quiet some time to find the right tools for doing this).
The first way is to use the CityGML PlugIn for Sketchup from www.citygml.de.
LaTeX, BibTex, multibib and TeXlipse ramblings
Oh Boy!! This is about when its starts to get nasty with LaTeX editing.
I'am writing my Diplomathesis at the moment, and I choosed LaTex for the typesetting, which is normally without a doubt the best choice you can take for that task.
But I'm now at a point, where it starts to get nasty...
For the purpose of splitting my bibliography references into two bibliographies (one for the referred normal scientific literature and one for referred websites).
Some wise, intelligent and deeper toughts on AR and VR
Hi all,
I want to share some media, which I got recently on two mailing lists I'm subscribed to, with you.
The first Video was posted by Puneet Kishor on Geowanking mailing list.
Bruce Sterling is pondering on AR. Really intelligent and very wise. Just some other view angles then just the technical ones on the topic. Very good!
Google Sketchup 7 on Ubuntu 9.04 Linux
Hi there!
I just installed Google Sketchup 7 with wine on Ubuntu 9.04 and it works! 
But I have to say, there are some minor "bugs" you have to take care of, to get it up an running nice.
Autodesk LandXplorer CityGML Viewer 2009 on Ubuntu Linux
One of the few available CityGML Viewers out there is LandXplorer CityGML Viewer from Autodesk.
As you can find out on their homepage, it is a proprietary product and at the moment only available for MS Windows Platforms.
This is normally bad news fro Linux users like me. But luckily there is wine.
Setup of Deegree2 WPVS Demo on Ubuntu 9.04 (amd64)
Hello,
I tried to setup a deegree-WPVS on a 64Bit Ubuntu Linux environment and encountered some Problems with that. The thing that wondered me, was, that I first made this procedure on my Laptop, running Ubuntu 9.04 (but in 32Bit environment), and everything went fine without a problem.
On my 64Bit Desktop it gave me the following error (in catalina.out):
learning computer graphics
When you are learning for an exam (like I do in the moment), you have these moments when you can't make any sense of what you are reading. So you need to strain some other senses, best is to do something completely different to relax, but in the last time before the exam you (me at least ;)) don't even have the time to do something different, so you can relax by watching videos on the topic you are learning in the moment.
Here is what I found by a websearch. Not bad and I am sure you can find more by searching more deep.
The best videos I found are from Wolfgang Hürst.
Java WorldWind is the next big step for GeoWeb
A bold statement? Yes indeed, but I'm sure here. :)
I think Java WorldWind has a huge potential to bring the GeoWeb to a next generation.
