		<title>The National Map&#8211;Pretty Pictures, no Download</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After striking out on finding a stand-alone source for California&#8217;s fault lines, I decided to try the USGS National Map, which I had forgotten about. It&#8217;s somewhat klunky in its speed and user interface, but it keeps getting a little bit better each time I try it.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a layer for [...]]]></description>

		<title>The World File is Not Enough</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I now have a reply back from the author or WinAPRS on support for ESRI world files. He is working on it, but has one last problem to figure out before it will work. In researching the standard, I came upon an old problem I learned about many years ago, but which never spent the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Downloading California Fault Lines a Shaky Process</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that I&#8217;ve found a source of georeferenced weather radar images, I thought the next useful bit of data would be a vector overlay of all the fault lines in the Bay Area. This should be simple, right? After surfing for a couple of hours, the closest I&#8217;ve found to usable GIS data is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Georeferencing Weather Mis-Mash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have recently redoubled my efforts to get my installation of the WinAPRS mapping application fully configured with as many maps and database files as I think could be of use for general Ham radio use and emergency use in particular. I have loaded the latest TIGER maps for roads, political divisions and so on; [...]]]></description>

		<title>HP Scanner Says, &#8220;Scan to Photoshop, Photoshop, Photoshop, or Photoshop?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just installed my ScanJet 4670, and pressing the scan button on the unit presents me with a dialog box that allows me to choose among all of the programs installed on my system that can interface with the scanner. So here&#8217;s the list:

Canon ZoomBrowser EX
hp scanning software
Microsoft Office Publisher
Photoshop
Photoshop
Photoshop
Photoshop

First, the non-obvious. I have Adobe [...]]]></description>

		<title>Standards Matter Ⅰ—The AMPS Pattern</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I’m currently looking for a better way of mounting a number of different gadgets to my car, including my iPod, two ham radio remote heads, my Garmin eTrex GPS, and perhaps a few more. Since many of these devices will be upgraded over time, I need any mounting system to be standard enough and interchangeable [...]]]></description>

		<title>Illustrator, Office, and EMF Woes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s task is something that should be simple&#8211;I have our radio club logo in vector form as an Illustrator CS2 image (with nothing but vectors, arcs, and text) and need to a scalable vector version that can be used in applications such as PowerPoint. Windows&#8217; Enhanced Metafile (EMF) is the perfect choice for this, since [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why the Mobile Web Sucks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To borrow a phrase from a former co-worker and tech editor of mine, the Mobile Web &#8220;sucks dead bunnies&#8221;. Unlike other technologists who believe that WAP was a solution looking for a problem, I&#8217;m a firm believer that just reformatting Web pages designed to be used on desktop and laptop computers is not sufficient for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Database Debacle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the tasks for the ham radio club I&#8217;m involved with is updating the membership &#8220;database&#8221;. Not updating in the sense of adding and revising records, but updating its structure from an Excel spreadsheet to a proper database. This has been actually been a multi-phase process.
The first time I got involved last year, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Illustrator Can’t Save a Square</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was experimenting with a new web service this morning for our local ham radio club, and the profile page requested an icon of a very specific size: 48 pixels square. Since I have our club logo as an Illustrator vector image, this should have been an easy, one-step process. Right?
Wrong. Although the Save for [...]]]></description>
