[12:45:39]<d1n0>mstenta; Just watched your youtube video. Here is something for you to check out regarding soil/crop data. https://bitbucket.org/modus/
[12:46:05]* d1n0 is now known as Lil
[12:47:17]<mstenta>thanks d1n0!
[12:47:20]<mstenta>i mean Lil
[12:47:23]<mstenta>looking now
[12:47:47]<Lil>Interesting .xml format geared towards the agriculture industry
[12:47:47]<farmBOT>Lil: 1 day 2 hours ago <mstenta> tell Lil Sorry to hear you had trouble. What method did you use to upgrade? I've never tried the automatic updater that is included with Drupal. I would recommend following the farmOS upgrade instructions here: http://docs.farmos.org/hosting/updating/ - And let me know if that works for you!
[12:48:08]<mstenta>thanks farmBOT :-)
[12:48:13]<Lil>:)
[12:49:32]<mstenta>interesting
[12:51:02]<Lil>Yea. I been somewhat following it for about a year now, and even use it myself. A little background.. I work for a soil testing laboratory.
[12:51:03]<mstenta>i'll have to spend some time digging into this, thanks for sharing!
[12:51:12]<mstenta>oh awesome!
[12:52:10]<mstenta>i'm working with the Cornell soil lab on a web app for their test
[12:52:29]<mstenta>so i'm getting very familiar with the process :-)
[12:52:54]<Lil>Nice, that's cool. Cornell university?
[12:53:01]<mstenta>yea
[12:54:01]<Lil>hmmm, now that brings me to a question
[12:54:44]<Lil>any plans for the soil data module of farmos to be able to graphically display data over say google maps
[13:00:22]<mstenta>Lil: actually, it already does! you can show the NRCS Soil Survey layer on top
[13:00:40]<mstenta>and there is a Soil Test log type, so you can keep track of soil tests that you've had done, and attach PDFs of results
[13:01:36]<mstenta>and i just made a really cool feature this past month (which I completely forgot to mention in the YouTube video) - when you are adding points to the map in your soil test log, you can click a button and it will automatically look up the complete soil name corresponding to those coordinates
[13:05:52]<mstenta>i should add some documentation about that... it's a bit of a hidden feature
[13:06:00]<mstenta>(added to the todo: https://github.com/farmOS/documentation/issues/6)
[13:08:14]<Lil>Nice
[13:08:42]<mstenta>Lil: actually, here's a demo: http://imgur.com/5HveWOw
[13:08:48]<mstenta>i recorded that a little while ago
[13:08:52]<Lil>Been so busy recently I haven't looked, but hopefully the next few weeks will slow down and allow me some time to commit on some open source projects.
[13:09:48]<mstenta>Cool! Would love the help!
[13:10:59]<Lil>ok bud, i gotta get moving. shouldn't be on the pc during the weekends, 50-60 hours during the week is enough.. lol
[13:11:31]<mstenta>haha yea i hear ya
[13:11:36]<mstenta>i need to go do some plumbing
[13:11:39]<mstenta>talk to you later
