I have a Bachelor of Science in Applied Geoinformatics, with my main areas of study being Geography and Environmental Studies, GIS, Computer Science and Information Systems. I have always had a passion for computers and geography, so studying and working in the GIS field has given me the best of both worlds.

My questions/answers will be written in South African (UK) English - please do not "correct" my spelling.

Oct 22	accepted	Solving a route in a multimodal network dataset does not use all forms of transport available
Oct 22	comment	Solving a route in a multimodal network dataset does not use all forms of transport available Success! Added the `TravelTime` attribute, using the same Evaluator parameters as in the Exercise 3 dataset. The route now includes the rail line (the route now takes 33 mins). Thanks!
Oct 22	comment	Solving a route in a multimodal network dataset does not use all forms of transport available Exercise 3 does give the expected result. Ok, I'm going to recreate the network dataset for Exercise 2 and add that attribute, and I'll report back here what happens.
Oct 22	comment	Solving a route in a multimodal network dataset does not use all forms of transport available The only options available for that dataset are `PedestrianTime`, `DriveTime` and `Meters`. As the dataset for Exercise 3 already exists (the dataset for Exercise 2 had to be created by the user), would I be correct in assuming that the `TravelTime` attribute would have to be added in the network dataset wizard during creation?

Oct 22	comment	Does arcpy have an issue with directory names starting with a number? Besides what blah238 has mentioned below, even if I have all of those in place, I have had inconsistent results when using directories starting with numbers in arcpy (sometimes its ok, sometimes its not). As a rule now, I only use directories starting with a letter (and append the date on the end). For storage purposes, I copy the files etc afterwards to the folder with the name I want.

Oct 18	comment	Why do I lose my printer settings when saving a copy of mxd from ArcPy? Does anyone know if this functionality has been corrected/made available in 10.1?
Oct 18	comment	How to create Feature Class based on DBF schema? I tried that, but it doesn't want to display the fields available in the dropdowns for X and Y. I even put a few coordinate values in the columns, but that didn't help. I can still display XY data from other Excel sheets as normal, but this sheet does not want to be displayed.

Oct 15	comment	Using web mapping and geocoding to track genealogical data Great link! Definitely a site I can play around with. Thanks!
Oct 13	comment	Using web mapping and geocoding to track genealogical data As I mentioned previously, I think my best starting point would be to geocode the surnames, but I have no experience with geocoding so I would need to do some tutorials first. I know the other members of the Society have some really detailed baptismal and military records, and our National Archives contains a lot of information such as passenger manifestos etc of when the boats arrived. I've realised that this could potentially turn into quite a big project, so I'm thinking of first getting my family's data into GIS so I can approach the Society with the example of what I want to do.

Oct 5	comment	How much CAD experience for the GIS Professional? I am in a similar situation, so the only dealings I have with CAD is bringing the drawings into ArcMap and projecting them. Sometimes I have to use them as a point of reference when digitising, but that's about it.
