EVS-Islands: Thinking Out Loud: Crashing System and The End of the School Year

The above map shows some of my completed island mapping projects. Each icon contains the name of the primary island associated with the project and a link to the post. Once all of my projects are posted, the map will be covered with icons. To productively use the map, zoom into a region of interest. Then select an icon.

Each of my maps is constructed of numerous layers of information. All of the layers are vector files. I will make these files available upon request. You are free to use them with certain restrictions - 1) Don't sell them. You can use them on research projects, post them to your website or things of that nature. If you aren't sure about the use of my maps, drop me a line and we can discuss your idea. 2) Give me credit when you use my vectors or images of my maps. Credit them to Peter Minton @ EVS-Islands

If I have the island vector file(s) and based upon your need, I will make them available. Images of my maps are yours to download and use, with the above restrictions applicable. Enjoy!

Thinking Out Loud: Crashing System and The End of the School Year

My output has dwindled lately due to a couple of circumstances. First circumstance - my computer system has been "fritzy". That is a technical term for a system that crashes at the worst possible moment, typically before you have saved a large amount of work. Lately, my system has been crashing and destroying my digitizing files. That is usually when I lean back in my chair and cry out in anguish. Then I take a deep breathe and start again. I think the problem is a heating problem, but that is my issue and I will solve it.

Second circumstance - the school year is ending. I have 6.5 days left and then I am out of school for the next 2.5 months. Needless to say, it is a busy time. I need the vacation to recharge my energies. Also, I need the vacation to make maps.

For the next week and a half I will map what I can and focus on the kids.
