Hi. I joined the list over the weekend. I wanted to
introduce myself. I have little to contribute,
technically speaking, but intend to follow the posting
on this listserv to see what is going on in the field.
I begin a masters degree in geography in the Spring --
I'm learning Java this Fall before I enter the formal
program.
I've been out of school since 1989, when I graduated
college with a liberal arts degree. I've worked in
politics (prowling around the US Congress and NY State
legislature mostly) and as a writer of various dry
policy-wonk type things. I've developed and used huge
databases in my work.
I've always loved maps and geography. My work over
the past 12 years has convinced me of the power of the
visual display of information and, in particular, GIS.
I have prepared myself (got rid of debt, etc) for an
extended period of learning. Geography and GIS is
what I am going to pursue.
Since I have nothing technical to contribute, this
post is probably all I will send to this listerv.
Maybe in a few years time, I'll be able to add
something of value. In any event, I'm here, I'm
reading all the posts, and my name is Derek. I'm in
New York City. Hello.
