Inkscape is great

I was fiddling with some pdf documents on my Debian install and was trying to edit a pdf file. Basically I was attempting to fill in form fields that did not have any actual pdf fields. It was a static pdf. What a pain.
So I was checking out programs like PDF Edit (which is a good program, but painful to use for me). Then I thought, what about Inkscape. I had used it previously to generate large posters and it worked out great.
I imported the single sheet of the pdf I wanted to fill out and it was awesome. I was able to add text boxes quickly over the pdf and save it directly back to pdf. What a great find. Likely those that are wiser than I am have figured this out already.
Thanks you guys at Inkscape for all your great work!

EC12 with IECA in Las Vegas was Great

I recently presented at the IECA EC12 conference in Las Vegas. The venue was the RIO Casino off the strip. It was a great conference with a excellent turnout. I presented about the design of infiltration basins for stormwater volume control during construction as well as a permanent fixture to the site. I have posted pertinent documents and information to my website. Link here. The site includes a pdf of the presentation, spreadsheets to complete mounding assessment, links to other great resources, and a list of good references if you want to learn more.
Congratulations to the group at IECA for another great conference! Not sure if I will make it to the EC13 as it is in San Diego and that could be a bit of a hike. Looking forward to some local conferences this year.
