To blog or not to blog...

I've never really understood blogging. I mean, blogs are great for finding things out but actually writing one...now why would you want to do that?

Well, i guess maybe its time to give something back. Or maybe, its just time to start recording some of the nerdy little gems that make life as a software engineer just that bit sweeter.

So here it is. A blog. Written by me. Who would have thought?

My intention is to start writing a series of posts dealing with Ordnance Survey mapping data and Open Source GIS (undoubtedly paying much attention to SharpMap along the way). Anyone who has to work with Ordnance Survey data may well understand the headache that can ensue from the vast amount of data processing and storage involved. Its often difficult to know where to start if your not buying into an enterprise GIS solution. So, if you don't want to splash out on proprietary software for dealing with all that GML...well you might just have come to the right place.
