David Wagner's blog

A lot of time has gone by since my last blog entry and it seems like it was travelling by plane.

A couple of weeks ago, after careful consideration, we made the decision to switch mapping servers from Autodesk's Mapguide to Esri's ArcView.

After talking with some landmen I discovered that it is fairly common for them to be periodically called out of the field in order to report what they have been working on to their managers.  Two things occurred to me after learning this.

It has been a couple of weeks since my last post but trust me when I say that the wait was worth it. Between eating too much turkey and a major testing cycle, I took pity on those poor landmen that must run title and redesigned one of the useful tools in LANDBOSS. Today I'm showing you the new Chain of Title page.

With so many different things to worry about when actively acquiring leases in a prospect, managing lease paperwork is the last thing you need to worry about.

"We need to talk about your TPS reports." This quote is from the 1999 film Office Space in which the main character talked about how much he hated "TPS reports." Creating reports can be difficult and time consuming, but as we all know, they are absolutely essential.

Aargh mateys! As you know, the oil and gas industry is fiercly competitive and dare I say it, at times more than a little cutthroat.  Don't worry though, your favorite pirate ship captain "Devil" Dave is looking out for you.

Hello again, welcome back to my blog. For this week's entry, I'll be showing you a new useful feature that will allow you to quickly jump to a Lease or Tract without having to go to the search page first.  I'm afraid that we weren't very original when we named it, but this new feature is called QuickSearch.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and so I have decided to start out this week's blog with a scary story.

Being a software developer, aka a "computer guy" in Oklahoma has naturally led to many projects in the oil and gas industry, but LANDBOSS has been the most fun.
