# Possible Automation
|
|
|
|
This file describes functionality that
|
|
|
|
* would confuse most people I attempted to explain it to
|
|
* would save little time overall
|
|
* is unlikely to work in a significant number of cases
|
|
|
|
Nonetheless I feel the need to write them somewhere.

## Travel Distance Calculation
|
|
|
|
The obvious answer is the (paid) google maps api.
|
|
there may be a free api somewhere, too.
|
|
But why deprive ourselves of a "fun" exercise?
|
|
|
|
1. Get coordinates of every municipality in Georgia
|
|
2. Get straight-line distance and heading from each to Macon
|
|
3. Manually enter google maps estimates for a couple dozen
|
|
4. Get a formula $T(d,θ)$ and calculate the rest

## Extract Bluebeam Markups from Pdf
|
|
|
|
Right now I'm exporting Bluebeam markups to csv before processing,
|
|
however if I converted to the code to extract the markups directly with MuPDF.Net
|
|
as I've managed before with itext, that could save a step.

## Panel Schedule Machine Learning
|
|
|
|
I have a fair number of labeled panel schedules from previous jobs
|
|
that would be ripe for training.
