Today finally I have spent quite some time redesigning my new mindscribble.net web page. Although I have not finished all the pages, I have nevertheless migrated most of the content from the old web page. In the next few days and weeks, I am committed to upload new content. It turns out that it is easier to devote a certain amount of time, if not every day, at least a few times a week to the web content. I also now consolidated and listed most of my multiple accounts and profiles in the home page, including my personal profiles (e.g., facebook, twitter), as well as my professional ones (linkedin, OrchidID, ResearcherID, GitHub, etc.).

The taxonomical approach to learning, dating back to the late 1950's was developed by Benjamin Bloom as a cognitive tool to boost the intellectual intellig...

After preparing my first cup of coffee and taking my morning pills, my work day had started. Work tasks 7:00 am - The newer version 2.5 of ArcGIS Pro requires re-configuring and reinstalling the Python environment for the application, which means recreating a cloned AGP python environment, reinstalling all packages and extensions that I need for my code, re-configuring the Jupiter notebook and lab apps, etc. That process is quite lengthy, and I had to do it twice, for both my home desktop workstation, and my laptop. 7:45 am - I also had to download and install today all the ArcGIS Desktop 10.8 software. I do have access to the software downloads from ESRI, and about a month ago I had worked out with our software admin...
