Thanks to Jill Darbyshire, I've been able to add support in the bookmarklet generator for yet another class of OPAC systems. The
vendor is TLC, and I
believe it should now be possible to generate bookmarklets for many of
the TLC systems listed
here." [Jon's
Radio]
I'll also note that I saw this recent round appear on Lost Remote,
The Providence Journal, and
Boing Boing, three pretty big sites that aren't library-related.
Ask yourself how important is it for library services to have an open,
web services back-end that lets your staff, third-parties, and users
access the data from outside your catalog's native interface?
Does your vendor work with LibraryLookup<
/A>? If not, you've got a problem.

Thanks to Janet Lefkowitz, a librarian at the
Hebrew
University of Jerusalem, the
LibraryLookup<
/a> project has added support for a fifteenth class of OPAC (online
public access catalog) system: Ex
Libris Aleph.
This was an interesting collaboration. I'd looked at a few different
Aleph systems, and found that their URLs varied from one
implementation to the next in ways that I didn't have time to unravel.
But Janet was willing to do this research, and she presented me with a
set of Aleph URLs that illustrated the variations. I updated the
Build your own Bookmarklet (BYOB) script
accordingly.
...Multi-ISBN LibraryLookup
Multi-ISBN LibraryLookup
11/14/2003 12:07 AM
If you've followed the saga of
LibraryLookup, you may recall that there's a fly in the
ointment: a book usually has more than one ISBN (
1,
2).
So, for example, if you're viewing the
paperback
edition of
The Innovator's Dilemma on Amazon, a
search for its ISBN
at my local library comes up empty-handed. The library's catalog
can't relate the paperback's ISBN, 0066620694, to the hardcover's
ISBN, 0875845851 -- a book that is
actually on its
shelf.

Thanks to
Edlef Stabenau for
identifying the LibaryLookup pattern for
PICA systems. "PICA
is a library system which is leading in Germany and in the
Netherlands," he writes. Based on his
example, for the Technical University
Hamburg-Harburg, I've added a seventh option to the
LibraryLookup generator.

Working Hard, Hardly Working
Working Hard, Hardly Working
06/15/2004 10:07 AMThree years ago, I was working at a small company as the unofficial IT
director / all-purpose computer bitch. I was laid off in early 2003,
but to this day, the job presents me with difficulties; namely, that
of telling prospective employers what I did, and for that matter, what
the company itself did. I have virtually no idea what this company's
function was, despite working there for over a year and a half,
although I did learn how to spew an amazing amount of marketing jargon
without thinking. As for my role there, it was essentially vast
tracts of doing absolutely nothing, punctuated erratically by moments
of panicking and crisis-defusion, usually involving something truly
earth-shattering like the CEO not being able to print her email. When
asked by interviewers "What did your company do?" I am forced to
mumble vaguaries about consulting and hope they leave the issue alone.

its 2.0 incarnation can be told to use ecto as the default weblog
editor instead of the builtin one.

Working At The Club
Working At The Club
06/14/2004 05:11 AMWith more and more people telecommuting or "freelancing," the home
office has been getting a lot more attention. Still, not everyone
likes to work from home (and for some people, it's really difficult).
There are tons of "temporary office space" companies that buy up
buildings and let people rent out single offices. However, one
company is trying to go (just slightly) beyond that by
setting up a "work club", where you pay your
membership dues and get to hang out in the common areas and meet your
co-workers. You also can use meeting rooms, phone booths, and some
limited amount of personal office space. Honestly, though, this
doesn't seem all that different from most temporary or executive
office space operations - other than they seem to be trying to make it
sound cooler with trendy phrases to describe everything. For example,
meeting rooms are "team spaces" while the cubicle farm is a "touchdown
space." Right.

Feverishly working
Feverishly working
03/22/2005 04:23 PM Sadly, I've been quite absent from my writing lately. I've been
stuck in monotony at work lately and then busy as a bee at home so the
things I want to do get done in smaller and smaller blocks of time. I
managed to get a "final" theme for Mac Geekery going such that I'm
actually happy with it. I have some ideas for what to do with the
site now and I'm writing a lot of articles that I will publish soon to
that end.
One thing I do know about setting up Drupal, now, is that the
default install that uses one large .htaccess file for
everything is the slowest possible solution. I imported all those
statements into a Directory statement for the virtual
host and site performance at CP and MG went up over 500%. I was
amazed.
If you're running a site that depends on an .htaccess
file, don't. Import the directives into a configuration file and tell
Apache to ignore the .htaccess file (or, better yet,
remove it). You'll see a huge increase in performance.
Notae is progressing well, but due to a lack of free time
development on it is stunted. It's seeing a very slow launch time due
to some font fun which I have a solution in mind for but just haven't
gotten the time to implement it. When that's done I might start a
beta round. Don't volunteer now, I'll ask when the time comes.

Still kicking, but not working
04/09/2004 04:03 PMSorry it's been so long since my
last post, but I've been working hard at not working. For those
that would like an update on my injury, a recent MRI shows that I have
a herniated
cervical disk which is pressing on a nerve root (English
translation: it freaking hurts!). Early next week I visit a
specialist who will either provide a steroid injection or, depending
on the severity of the problem, recommend surgery.
In the past I've always loved the fact that I'm a "one man
company," but I'm now seeing the obvious downside - there's no one to
take up the slack when something like this happens. Typing for any
length of time is next to impossible, so my inbox continues to
overflow with email that would be easy for someone else to answer.
Once I'm back to work again, I may look into hiring someone to help
out.
As an aside, I'm bummed that this injury is preventing me from
running the half marathon
I've been training for since December. The last time I attempted a
marathon I got sidelined by a running injury, so to be stopped this
time by something completely unrelated to running is maddening. Maybe
next year :)

Wi-Fi Means: Never Having to Say "I'm
Not Working"
Wi-Fi Means: Never Having to Say "I'm
Not Working"
01/16/2004 11:01 AMThe New York Times offers this cheery piece that suggests you can
still ignore your kids while in the same room [reg. required]: I'm
sounding cynical, but this article does extol the virtues of being
able to be connected all of the time and work all of the time, even
when in physical proximity to your family. Seriously, however, the
notion that you can get necessary work done and not have to hole
yourself up in a basement or at a specific location is one of the
great benefits of a home wireless network. Oddly, the piece opens
looking at Oren Michels, identifying him as the president of a human
resources benefits administration firm. I knew that name, so I perform
a Google search, and find that he is also president and CEO of
WiFinder, a Wi-Fi directory site. (Disclosure: I'm the senior editor
at JiWire, an editorial and directory site focused on wireless that
competes for ad/sponsor dollars with WiFinder.) I shot a note to Oren
to confirm that he was still in that role at WiFinder, which he is.
Like WiFinder's chairman and founder Scott Rafer, Oren wears a few
hats. My point here is not that it's odd that Oren has multiple jobs,
but rather it's an odd choice of the reporter to not mention that Oren
Michels is the head of a company that's devoted to spreading
information about Wi-Fi. It's not bias; it's just a strange omission,
n'est c'est pas?...
Tip for working around the security bug
Tip for working around the security bug
05/19/2004 05:48 PMI got a tip I’ll pass along on dealing with the OS X security
bug.
If you change the protocol helper for "help" URLs, then the script
should not run. I downloaded the
More Internet
Preference Pane and changed the handler for "help" to the
Finder.
It turns out that the bug is more widespread than WebKit—even
non-WebKit browsers such as Camino may be vulnerable.
(Thanks to Rob McNair-Huff of
Mac Net Journal
for the tip.)
