KODA started thinking about how often we've been delivered "bad pizza" in our professional lives, in our careers, and on our projects...and decides to call Customer Service for some clarification.
A great effort by the Geodata KODA team in the last month prompts this blog post. For the previous two weekends we've had extra-curricula outings in which we've achieved some great things. Some days it's easy to overlook our achievements - not today
You know you're working in an interesting industry when the currents of the week push you to spend a couple of late night hours searching for some 'standard' dimensions for humans to try to justify the placement of a datalogger in a certain location on site.
As a repeat reader of Frank Herbert's Dune, I've found myself intrigued by a particular phrase written towards the end of the book.
I think that the phrase intrigued me because I'd never heard of it before... A rather trivial reason for liking a statement, I know, but I think there is something more to it...
Sitting here at MeatStock, doing the dawn shift, lighting the fire and tending to our 30 day dry aged briskets I'd just laid down, I started thinking about all the different ways I could apply what I do at work to cooking a great brisket. Was this madness? Or worth the musing?
Koda has been back in Australia the last couple of weeks visiting family and some potential clients. I broke my new year’s resolution and missed a blog post last week. Sorry to all the fans. I’ll make it up to you. It’s great to be back in Australia. The weather has been warm and sunny, and it didn’t take long for me to be reminded how great a place it is.
While rummaging through some old documents I discovered a primary school maths test from 1995...
KODA is excited to announce that it has been appointed as a Reseller for 12d Model – Surveying, Civil and Water Engineering software – for the USA.
12d Model is used in over 65 countries, and the uptake continues every day. Version 11 has just been released. Along with that come many enhancements, including 12d Field, and of particular note, some new functionality for underground construction.
Convex Hulls…No, Not Sailing
KODA had some fun this week playing around with Convex Hulls. It’s not a new idea for the spatial sciences, but it’s a new idea for KODA. It’s something that started as a quick and dirty way to find a 2-dimensional boundary around a cloud of points. It works great and is fast and stable.
Euler Rotations
Whether it’s a roadheader, rockbolter, excavator or TBM, one of the fundamental components on any navigation/guidance system is the dual-axis level sensor located on the main body of the machine. The purpose is obvious: to correct the calibrated coordinate system of the machine to the gravity system. But you need to be careful about a few things…
