Clyde has done his thing. Build 33, and 34 to fix 33. Download here http://gsak.net/GSAK851B34.exe Gsak macro CheckZAcounties and map definition file for FindstatsGen updated. More details here

The name of District Municipality Sisonke was changed to Harry Gwala, as Technonut kindly informed us here. Like before, the County map has been updated and will need to be downloaded again. See here for more.

Thanks Pete, once Clyde has done his thing, I'll do too.

Correct, you go.

Thanks CH, and still having fun! Knowing the first GPS satellite was launched in February 1978 with a design life of 7.5 years; Newer ones were designed to last for 12, and those currently in production should work for 15 years. In November 2014, how old will the oldest operational satellite be?

5000 days

Checking my database, I get 106 events for Ethekwini since the beginning. So it seems that this is since then This includes events that have not yet taken place ... Yes, it includes all events past, present and future - from the beginning of time. The odd event or few that had to be cancelled before it took place is also included.

Municipality | Number of Events ------------------------------- City of Tshwane ........... 119 Ethekwini ................. 106 City of Johannesburg ....... 95 City of Cape Town .......... 74 Nelson Mandela Bay ......... 31 Ekurhuleni ................. 29 Ehlanzeni .................. 18 Bojanala ................... 17 West Rand .................. 13 Amajuba ..................... 9 Buffalo City ................ 9 Mangaung .................... 9 (All event types are included)

Welcome, hoping to see you at an event soon!

I've received some queries regarding the latest changes in the FindStatGen Map of the South African District Municipalities incorporating the recent name- and boundary changes. These changes in the boundary data and map broke things a little, and if the updates are not done, you'll be generating a new map using old data, which doesn't quite work as it should. Three parts need updating, in three simple steps. 1. Gsak 2. County field in GSAK 3. Map definition file 1. Updating Gsak Boundary data is linked to the Gsak version, and from version 8.1.1.20 onwards, the updated South African boundary data is automatically downloaded. It is therefore neccesary to get Gsak version 8.1.1.20 or later but while you're at it, getting the currently latest version would do no harm. Get version 8.1.1.27 here. 2. Update the County field in GSAK i) When loading a new set of PQ's, in the County Update box of the Load GPX/Loc/ZIP File dialogue box, type "Y" (without the quotes). On loading the PQ, all the caches in that PQ or group of PQ's will then be updated to contain the new names. -OR- ii) For the whole database at once, without loading a PQ: Copy the lines of text below and paste into a text editor, Save as UpdateDistrictM.gsk, install the macro and run it. #####--BEGIN--##### #************************************************************** # MacDescription = District Municipality Update (County Field) # MacFileName = UpdateDM.gsk # MacAuthor = Jors # MacVersion=1 # MacUrl= #*************************************************************** $Counties=GetCounty("y") MSGOK msg= County Updates=$Counties #####--END--##### 3. Download the new Map Definition File for FSG i) In Gsak, Ctrl-M, then run FindStatGen3.gsk -or- FindStatGen43Beta.gsk ii) click Options, Maps, Install Map data file from Gsak iii) Scroll to and select South African District Municipalities iv) Install, click OK and let FSG run. This will replace the existing map definition file with the new one. Voila!

That was too easy... Go for it Sonsoekster!

Lucky guess... What is Andrew Scott Waugh known for?

Lesotho?

The map showing the District Municipalities have been updated. Using all past, present and even some future caches (events), this would be the result:

The locally flavoured one, Navision Software Wristwatch will probably pay a visit too.

I just noticed a nice three-page article by Albert van Biljon in the latest (Nov/Dec 2011) PositionIT magazine, as well as in EngineerIT. View it here (link).

American dasedall team?

Well done, the floor is yours, Tara and John

A quickie to get going again A Dozen, a Gross and a Score, plus three times the square root of four, divided by seven, plus five times eleven, equals ...... squared and not a bit more.

I'll think of another Q. A: Lordosis: Inward curvature of the spine. Normally, the low back demonstrates lordosis.

The Q wasn't supposed to be obscure.. HINT: Spine

Thanks Tara and John, sorry CH I've read an article this week, and learned something about a lordosis - what is it?

Ok, you're probably right then - the weather people's head office is in Pretoria, in the municipality named "City of Tshwane"...

City of Cape Town? (Weather station on Marion Island, perhaps?)

She started exporting toffees? Wilson toffees..
