The time has come to move on .. since I’m not doing as much with wildfires (a significant part of the blogs title), I’m going to send this blog into an indefinite status of upkeep. Basically rendering it dead? It’s not just the change in occupation .. I’m giving wordpress a try too – regardless you can find me at http://j03lar50n.wordpress.com

20-Oct-08Mom’s Version, Chicken Soup
Put the chicken carcass in a big pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer on med/low heat until the meat falls away from the bones. (probably about an hour) Remove the carcass and any bones, etc. Chop chicken meat as needed to smaller size, return to broth. Add the following:
1 tsp salt, or to taste
Pepper (or not – sensitive stomachs..)
2-3 sliced carrots
1 chopped onion
¾ cup chopped celery
Seasonings (like above, or maybe a little oregano)
Cook for about 30 minutes until vegetables are soft. About 5 minutes before serving, add cooked rice (leftover) or noodles.
? okra ?
? suggestions ?

FWTools
08-Oct-08this here be the post dedicated to FWTools (working)
here be the syntax for helpful batch files, etc. for FWTools commands:
1. convert geodatabase.mdb to shapefiles
ogr2ogr out_shp c:warehousestestgdb.mdb
#out_shp represents folder created containing converted shapefiles, rename accordingly.
2. batch reproject folder of shapefiles
mkdir epsg102645
set prj_params=-s_srs epsg:26910 -t_srs epsg:102645
for %%g in (*.shp) do (
ogr2ogr -f "esri shapefile" %prj_params% epsg102645%%g %%g
)
#epsg102645 represents folder created containing reprojected shapefiles, rename accordingly | reassign epsg codes accordingly.
3. batch merge folder of shapefiles to one shapefile
mkdir merged
for %%f in (*.shp) do (
if not exist mergedfed_wd_merge.shp (
ogr2ogr -f "esri shapefile" mergedfed_wd_merge.shp %%f) else (
ogr2ogr -f "esri shapefile" -update -append mergedfed_wd_merge.shp %%f -nln fed_wd_merge )
)
4. The gdalwarp command can be used to reproject images. Here we reproject
the WGS84 geographic image to the Mercator projection:
gdalwarp -t_srs '+proj=merc +datum=WGS84' geoworld.tif mercator.tif
5. batch reproject raster w/ cubic resampling to 'output' folder
mkdir output
set prj_params=-s_srs epsg:26910 -t_srs epsg:102645
for %%g in (*.tif) do (
gdalwarp %prj_params% -r cubic %%g output%%g
)

This method looks a little streamlined from the previous I’d heard about.
