Are You Serious (Part 3)

Well now I’ve gone and did it. I thought I had seen the last of it form the “Computer Security” teacher who apparently knows all. Apparently he doesnt know how idiotic the testing system by FSM Creations is. Here is you answer solver, just copy and paste the encripted answers as shown below.

Dry Counties in North Carolina

March 19th, 2008 by Dee

I finally figured out a way to add counties to Google maps. It opens up a whole new world of interactive mapping. I couldn’t think of anything creative or interesting to add to the map except for some coloring to the completely dry counties of North Carolina. According to the NC ABC there are four counties: Clay, Graham, Mitchell, and Yancey.

Your North Carolina Congress & Senate (Part 3)

March 16th, 2008 by Dee

  Butterfield, G.K., 1st District (Democrat)   Hayes, Robin, 8th District (Republican)
  Etheridge, Bob, 2nd District (Democrat)   Myrick, Sue, 9th District (Republican)
  Jones, Walter B., 3rd District (Republican)   McHenry, Patrick T., 10th District (Republican)
  Price, David, 4th District (Democrat)   Shuler, Heath, 11th District (Democrat)
  Foxx, Virginia, 5th District (Republican)   Watt, Mel, 12th District (Democrat)
  Coble, Howard, 6th District (Republican)   Miller, Brad, 13th District (Democrat)
  McIntyre, Mike, 7th District (Democrat)    



This is the same display as the previous version except that, the colors have been changed to represent the appropriate parties Republican Red and Democratic Blue. Lets call this V.1.1(I really dont like it, didnt go over as I had planned). All this has given me the new idea to move more locally and map the Pitt County Commisioners Districts and the Greenville City Council Districts. I’ll see if I can put some social engineering to work and drum up some shapefiles for these.

Pitt County

March 16th, 2008 by Dee

I was able to find a shapefile for Pitt County, wow! This was harder than I thought to just find Pitt County, next I need find the Shapefile for Greenville, and I’ll be able to start on Version 2 of the Greenville Crime Tracker Map.

Your North Carolina Congress & Senate (Part 2)

  Jones, Walter B., 3rd District (Republican)   McHenry, Patrick T., 10th District (Republican)
  Price, David, 4th District (Democrat)   Shuler, Heath, 11th District (Democrat)

  McIntyre, Mike, 7th District (Democrat)    



I was able to get a shapefile of the 108 Congress Congressional Districts from NC One Map. I just turned it into a simple overlay to show you how Greenville was divided. I think I will go a head and call this map 1.0, because I did it in less than 20 minutes, and paid no attention to any of the colors.

For 2.0 I think I will:
-Shade Democrat & Republican areas with color themes appropriate to their party.
-Implement further Zoom In levels.
-Add a simple map to my location.

Your North Carolina Congress & Senate

March 15th, 2008 by Dee

Senate

Burr, Richard (Republican)
Dole, Elizabeth (Republican)

Congress

Butterfield, G.K., 1st District (Democrat)
Etheridge, Bob, 2nd District (Democrat)
Jones, Walter B., 3rd District (Republican)
Price, David, 4th District (Democrat)
Foxx, Virginia, 5th District (Republican)
Coble, Howard, 6th District (Republican)
McIntyre, Mike, 7th District (Democrat)
Hayes, Robin, 8th District (Republican)
Myrick, Sue, 9th District (Republican)
McHenry, Patrick T., 10th District (Republican)
Shuler, Heath, 11th District (Democrat)
Watt, Mel, 12th District (Democrat)
Miller, Brad, 13th District (Democrat)

Now why is all of this important? I got into a semi heated debate today about the responsibilities of the Government(somehow from a conversation about Oboma), of course I took the minimalist conservative view, and of course they took the opposite instructing me that government should be bigger, and they should do more for the people. Before the argument went any further I asked the a few simple questions including(“Who is your congressman?”) that no democrats will ever know, again proving I hate liberals.

In the case of Greenville, North Carolina it can be confusing. If you live inside 264 except for the lower right corner you Congressman Is Democrat J.K Butterfield. Most likely if you live outside of 264 and to the south you are represented by Republican Walter B. Jones. Thankfully I live smack dab in the middle of Walter B. Jones’s district, whose district also covers the crystal coast. If I can find some GIS/GPS information I think I’ll map it for you, but Wikipedia does have a good break down.

###UPDATE###
I decided to make a little map to show you exactly what I was talking about (CLICK HERE TO SEE THE MAP) in part two of “Your North Carolina Congress & Senate.
