- Jean from Weber
So last Sunday I called Weber, and Jean--who I suspect is in Minnesota--got my Silver Genesis working again. Jean: I'll be sending you a document, now just give me your email, see? Me: Oh, thank you! Jean: So now, you... - My Post to Library of Congress
They wanted feedback on their meeting tomorrow about bibliographic control (and uncontrolled biblios are a fearsome sight to behold), so I wrote them a "Dear Liberry" letter, posted to TechSource. I was writing like a typing maniac, due to limited... - Adjustments
A tree in our front yard is brushed with pink, and grey-green streams of Spanish moss sway in the breeze. Woody, a huge woodpecker in tuxedo and bright red fez, clings to a telephone pole as he drills for his... - Another Reason I'm Supporting Jim Rettig for ALA President
Ninety-five percent of ALA is stuck in the antebellum period, but Jim is communicating by YouTube. Gets it. Seriously. Knows getting it equals doing it. Vote for Jim!... - Code4Lib Keynote, Again
I changed the fonts (there's a command in Powerpoint called Change Fonts, and you know, it actually works...) and here it is again in PowerPoint. I also cranked it into Acrobat, but then you don't get the notes (what's all... - Oops! Keynote in Klingon
My PowerPoint from yesterday's Code4Lib Keynote may look like gibberish to you... I should have realized that if my slides couldn't display on Roy's laptop, that pointed to a bigger problem! When I get home tonight I'll do the PowerPoint-to-Acrobat... - LOCKSS, Stock, and Keynote
I've uploaded my Code4Lib 2007 Keynote. Has it really been almost a week? I spent Sunday afternoon listening to podcasts while my old Honda Civic purred its way to Atlanta, depositing me at the Hotel Indigo, which was, indeed, all... - Next week's keynote...
I appreciate all the input. Well, sort of. I do feel I put myself out there with what I was asked to talk about and got defensive feedback from varied Cranky-Pants. Let's see, of course I hate all software. Of... - Shopped til we dropped
Shopped til we dropped Originally uploaded by freerangelibrarian. Ah, the joys of Destin!... - Walt Underwood on the 2.0 Video
Remember that video of a week or two back..? I am not completely on board with every part of Walt Underwood's critique, but he hit home here: "Finally, the vid ends up with 'Weâll need to rethink love/family/ourselves.' Really. I... - Think Good Thoughts For Feel-Good Librarian
I was practicing task avoidance when I strolled over to Feel-Good Librarian, a blog where some anonymous librarian in the MidWest shares the good news of librarianship. It is very much a feel-good blog, one that always makes me think... - My Code4Lib Keynote
Of all my training challenges, developing a keynote is always tough. The one I'm trying to develop for Code4Lib for my keynote is giving me conniptions. Do you hear an echo somewhere? That's my brain. I'm feeling more self-critical than... - My Training Plan... Er... BOPSIASK
Everyone needs a personal training plan, but I really feel the need for one this year as I get familiar with academia, strange duck that it is, and work my way back into the hardcore library IT world, which is... - Your Gummint Nixes Digital Preservation
It may not be sexy or all that visible; you can't download it to your iPod; it's not right under your nose every day. In fact, you may not be aware of one of the most important activities where librarians... - LJ on Top Tech Trends: Talk about getting a story wrong
Library Journal skewed my comments at LITA's Top Technology Trends at ALA Midwinter. --unless, in the vagueness of the 8 a.m. time slot, I really did sound like a cautionary scold. Part of the problem with this article is it...
