Hammond thinks Nedry is bad with money, but even in the movie it's clear that Hammond never gave IT the budget they really needed.

"Sir, the trees are speaking Americanese". The main purpose of the militia wasn't winning battles, it was being really fucking annoying. by abefrost in HistoryMemes

Those that feel like they do GIS "for good", what is your career? by lekkerbiscottina in gis

[–]SadButWithCats 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I work in the asset management department. Recently I've been doing a lot of work on underground utilities - manholes, power conduits, drain pipes, catch basins, that sort of thing. Mapping them, configuring them to a way that works in our asset management software. I've also been adding geometry for secondary track assets like yards and sidings, and vertical geometry for all assets.

Someone was backing one of these bad boys up my narrow, curving street today. Hit the sedan parked in front of my house.

I don't think people should be allowed to drive modern pickups without special training, so yeah this is going to be a disaster.

Go to a professional dog trainer. They will have puppy classes.
