Haven't posted to the blog for a while. Busy, busy, busy. I'm currently developing a Web based GIS enabled information system for managing the the Animal Health Board's possum killing (vector control) business. It's very interesting. A Cold Fusion web client interacting with a text based SQL Server database and a GIS built around ESRI's ArcSDE and ArcIMS software. Cool, but hard work to make everything work properly.

Also I've moved house and the chaos has not yet settled. The new place has some great views. We've been watching the hot-air balloons in Hamilton for the Balloon Fiesta. They rise up out of the early morning mists and float across the city. We can watch them from our breakfast table. My little girl, Samantha, is crazy for hot-air balloons. When she is a bit older I'll organise us a hot-air balloon ride.
