GISsurfer uses the #ArcGIS REST API.

For ArcGIS MapServer data that supports 'dynamic layers' that API makes it fairly easy to add labels to the map.

For ArcGIS FeatureServer data that API does not support labels.

So the only way to see the fire name on a GISsurfer map is to click inside a perimeter. Note that the fire perimeter has to be the 'top' layer. #Wildfire

Yay, #ArcGIS Pro runs in #VirtualBox (virtualized Windows on #Linux). Runs pretty fast, and I don't use it too much, so that will work fine.

Hey #Map folks - does #ArcGIS even have an option without login anymore?

Dark red symbols are *heat* detections by MODIS and VIIRS satellites within prior 6 hours. This data is not real time, locations are approximate and sometimes ‘false positive”. Two links in upper left corner have more info.

New feature added to curated list of 3,000+ government #ArcGIS server addresses.

The entry for every federal ArcGIS server and state ArcGIS server now shows whether or not that server is hosting any tiled data. #GIS savvy software can display this type of data with XYZ syntax.

See p.5 of the PDF for more information including how to do a google search to check any county/city ArcGIS server for tiled data.

Chatting with one of the junior analysts today who is now thinking seriously about pivoting from an application development path he wasn't really enjoying to #GIS and #geospatial analysis just because I showed him some basic cool shit you could do with #ArcGIS server (all we have access to at work) and he found it terribly fun and rewarding.

My main function these days is showing the junior kids cool shit they may not have seen before. I live for these kind of moments.

The response from #Esri support contained 5 "workarounds" for their web adaptor not doing the only job it exists to do.

None have worked.

The web adaptor has gone down 32 times in 24 hours under modest loads.

Still using #ArcGIS Enterprise as best we can in spite of sporadic blips in connectivity, but alternatives are actively being investigated.

Can't wait for #FOSS4GNA to attend the #GeoNode / #GeoServer sessions!

Interactive #GIS map always displays latest forecast for Tropical Storm #Hilary - soon to be #HurricaneHilary. The ‘forecast position’ overlay can be clicked for details.

When the map opens it displays the most recent image from the GOES West satellite. At night - guess what - that image is dark. Of course you can then change to a different basemap.

Update on the #ArcGIS Enterprise business.

Not one but TWO patches for Web Adaptor IIS reliability, and the problem persists. Server goes incommunicado at entirely modest levels of traffic.

For now, we've just got a PowerShell script running at all times to ping, wait, and possibly recycle the application pool as soon as these shenanigans happen. And to keep a tally of how often this happens. We're at three so far today.

Currently moving as much as we can out of the Data Store and into S3.

Got my hopes up too soon. My #ArcGIS web adaptor continued to freeze up. But they released another web adaptor patch *today*, so let's see if it helps tomorrow when the traffic picks up.

11.0 was able to handle our server traffic without breaking a sweat, so I'm struggling to understand what changed at 11.1 to make it freeze up and quit so much.

#GeoNode, you're looking mighty attractive right now. Contemplating a "both / and" setup, maybe.

August 14 morning. #BedrockFire east of Eugene Oregon.

Holy flippity farts, that was one of the most gut-wrenching hours of my life.

Turns out the #ArcGIS Enterprise upgrade went nearly perfectly, but my browser was caching some JS files that the upgrade changed, so when I tested things, it *looked* like I'd completely broken our GIS system.

Clear the cache, refresh. All that worry for naught.

But hey! It means I stayed up late enough to catch the #perseids!

#RedFlagWarning for *west* slopes of Cascade Mountains. Typically, this is the soggy side, but not now.
