Portable Notes for the Field

Posted by Jaybird on June 21, 2010 at 4:23pm

I came across a useful tool for surveyors today called Notepad.cc.....it allows you to create notes on anything you like (for example, field notes, equipment setup, coordinates, etc.). Here is an example of one I made as a test: http://notepad.cc/landsurveyorsunited

All you do is go to that URL and erased what i wrote, change the URL at the bottom to anything you like...then you can share it here on LSU if you like or just access it from your cell phone or computer from the field at the URL you

Special Themed Surveying Photo Albums Based on LSU Member Submissions

Posted by Jaybird on June 12, 2010 at 9:11pm

I've been gradually assembling themed photo albums based on Land Surveyors United submissions. This month we are focusing on "Wildlife Caught While Surveying" and you can see the progress of the album so far. If you have the time, check out these albums and when you run across one that you submitted, simply drop some more information in the comments section so that everyone can get a better idea of what they are looking at, especially LOCATIONS-if you could map the photo, that would be a great h

Tips for Dealing With Competition as a Surveyor

Posted by Jaybird on June 8, 2010 at 1:26pm

With the level of competition that exists for land surveyors and geomatics professionals, being successful as a company owner or working independently requires a combination of technical and creative skills, as well as business skills.

We need to see and read what others are going through in the field and continue to lend community support to our fellow profess
