03/19/2003 10:45 PMIn catching up on email from last week, I see that the RSS
feed for the Librarians' Index to the Internet that Steven pointed to
over the weekend generated some interesting discussion on the WEB4LIB mailing
list.
For starters, Jon Legree at the Yorba Linda Public Library has
set up two feeds for the LII, a .91 feed and a .92 feed. That
second one also includes a textinput box to search LII.
(Interestingly, Yorba Linda PL is using phpWebSite to power their
site, which gives them two automatic feeds, as well as a blog on
their main page!) From there, someone asked for a definition of RSS,
and there were some very interesting responses.
Jon pointed to a RSS Tutorial for Content
Publishers and Webmasters, a site I don't believe I've seen
before. Peter Scott (Mr. Weblogs Compendium
himself) has also begun collecting links to RSS Resources and
RSS Readers
(aggregators). This is great news, as it will save me the trouble of
doing this! And D. H.
Mattison reminded us about his article in the February
issue of Searcher, "So You Want to Start a Syndicated
Revolution: RSS News Blogging for Searchers." That prompted me to
find the February issue floating around SLS and photocopy the article. I
haven't had a chance to read it yet, but it looks rather detailed,
which is always a good thing.
But if he's read this far, what I actually wanted to
point
out to Steven Vore is
that this year marks the first official Take Our Sons and
Daughters to Work Day. Link courtesy of LII's New This
Week page now that they're back in my aggregator.
Hooray!

The Shifted DJ?
The Shifted DJ?
06/21/2004 02:07 PMOne of my goals for the near future is to set up a Shoutcast stream of the music on my
home computer in order to listen to it on the go on my Treo 600
using the fabulous Pocket
Tunes program. Icecast may
also be an option, but that's as far I've gotten in my research.
Tonight I had another thought. If I put a TV tuner card in my
computer, will it receive Comcast's digital music stations (which are
commercial-free), which I could then turn into Shoutcast (or
other) streams? Can I make my own version of satellite radio (albeit
an inferior one) using a service to which I already subscribe?
Please leave/send comments or suggestions about this idea!
The Shifted DJ Is in the House
The Shifted DJ Is in the House
06/28/2004 10:08 AMSo I finally got a Shoutcast Server
working with the WinAmp DSP
plug-in on my home PC, and I'm able to stream it to Pocket Tunes on my Treo. How
cool is that?!
Of course, now I have to find the time to create playlists for the
various scenarious in which I envision myself using this. For example,
the first one I want to create is a baseball-themed one for between
innings at Brent's games. I plan to wow the other parents with this
one! After that, maybe a library-themed one that I can play as people
slowly congregate in the room where I am giving a presentation.
Oh, the possibilities!...

A Generation of Shifted Kids Growing Up

s: 90 Percent of Kids Use Computers
"About 90 percent of people ages 5 to 17 use computers and 59
percent of them use the Internet -- rates that are, in both cases,
higher than those of adults. Even kindergartners are becoming more
plugged in: One out of four 5-year-olds uses the Internet.
The figures come from a new Education Department analysis of
computer and Internet use by children and adolescents in 2001. A
second report from the agency, based on 2002 data, shows 99 percent of
public schools have Internet access, up from 35 percent eight years
ago.
'Children are often the first adopters of a lot of technology,'
said John Bailey, who oversees educational technology for the
department. 'They grow up with it. They don't have to adapt to it. ...
Students, by and large, are dominating the Internet population.'
By the time they're age 10, 60 percent of children use the
Internet. That number grows to almost 80 percent for kids who are
16....
Like adults, young people are going online for a range of reasons,
the government research shows. Almost three in four use the Internet
for help with school assignments, while more than half use it for
writing e-mail, sending instant messages or playing games....
Almost two-thirds of young white people use the Internet, but less
than half of black people ages 5 to 17 do, and slightly more than a
third of Hispanic young people log on. Part of the reason is access --
80 percent of black students use computers at school, for example, but
only 41 percent do so at home, according to the 2001 report.
'We need to address the limited access to technology that many
students have outside of school,' Education Secretary Rod Paige said.
'There is much more we can do.' " [Salon]
Like stop cutting library funding and closing libraries? That would
be a good start. Then maybe we could go back to teaching information
literacy to all children (and adults).
Amazingly Shifted Round-up from My
Aggregator
Amazingly Shifted Round-up from My
Aggregator
03/14/2005 06:23 PMI couldn’t have planned this better if I’d tried,
but this theme leapt out in 3D from my aggregator yesterday.
Together, they don’t even need any commentary, although the easy
one would be to just restate yesterday’s tagline that you can go
on thinking these trends won’t affect libraries, but you’d
be burying your head in the sand.
In the order they were
posted:
Sendo X2 Packs
a Punch with Music and Light Weight
“The new X2 Music
Phone features stereo sound, MP3/AAC/AAC+ format support, plus
Bluetooth and USB to move your music. It will also feature a 1.3
megapixel camera with support for 1GB miniSD memory for storing your
music, photos, and video. Finally all of this content will be
brought to you by a rather large 2.2 inch 65k display. Oh, and
did we mention this whole package clocks in at a mere 95 grams?”
[Engadget]
MP3 Players Storm the World
“I hardly ever do
‘here's the news’ entries, but the Pew
Report released today stands almost without comment for anyone
following podcasting and related technologies. ‘We just got the
results of the survey we took between January 13 and February 9 and
for the first time asked a question to find out how many American
adults have iPods or MP3 players. The answer is 11% -- or more than 22
million of those who are age 18 and older. It’s safe to say that
there are several million more MP3 players owned in the teen world,
but we did not survey teens in this poll.’ ” [Free Range
Librarian]
Motorola E1060: The iTunes
Phones“So here it is, the mythical iTunes phone. The
Motorola E1060 will be the first Motorola handset to run the mobile
Java version of iTunes that will become the default media player for
future Motorola handsets.” [Gizmodo]
Sony Ericsson
Introducing Walkman Cellphones
“Remember how the other
day Sony
Ericsson said that 2005 is all about listening to music on
cellphones? Yeah, well they’re cashing in on the Sony part
of their parentage with a new line of Walkman-branded music playing
cellphones. They don’t have any prototypes or pics or anything
to show off, but they did announce today at the big 3GSM World
Congress (which is why there is so much damn cellphone news) that
they’re going to introduce the line in March. They say the
phones will have large amounts of memory, good headphones, the ability
to easily transfer songs over from a PC, and will work with
Sony’s Connect online music store.” [Engadget]
Thanks to Cellphones, TV Screens Get Smaller
“Three
original television series, including a spinoff of ‘24,’
are making their debut on Verizon's new high-speed cellular phone
network.” [New York
Times]
Portable Future
“We seem to be on
the verge of a big breakthrough in portable entertainment similar to
the emergence of so many MP3 players back in 1999-2000. This time, the
breakthrough isn't yet another device to lug around weighing down
pockets already overloaded with cell phones, digital cameras, iPods
and other cancer-inducing battery-powered leg warmers. Instead, we are
extended support for existing formats in the same old devices we've
grown accustomed to fill our pants…. The convergence that
succeeds will combine audio and video player with what we currently
recognize as a cell phone into one unified portable entertainment hub,
finally providing some justification for that $25-per-month unlimited
Internet access charge…. When Nokia announces improved support
for Real media formats, Windows Media and Flash in the same week, it's
time to take notice.” [Jake Ludington’s Digital
Lifestyle]
More Cell Phone Functionality
“Cell phones do
alot already. Companies are looking at adding even more
functionality:
- Internet radio
- Music
- Document
scanning
- Three-dimensional sound….
You can read
more about these ideas at CNE
T.com.” [Library

Cool, Shifted SCSU Services
Cool, Shifted SCSU Services
06/05/2005 11:24 PMRebecca Hedreen is
doing lots of very cool things in her users' worlds, not just within
the four walls of her building. For starters, her Frequently Answered Questions
blog is intended specifically to help distance education students at
Southern Connecticut State
University (which, of course, gives her an automatic feed for
syndication). On that blog, a post from last month notes some of the
ways you can ask a question, one of which - Chatango - I was unfamiliar with.
"Please note that I also have new icons for my online status for
chat and IM. Generally, if I'm ‘online’ for all of them,
I'm likely to be in my office--so I'm likely to be available by phone
and email at that time, too.
Please try the various
services out--Skype may be of
particular interest to our international contingent. If you download
the software (and sign up for an account) you can call just about
anywhere in the world to another Skype user for free--and to regular
phones for a discounted rate. All you need is a broadband connection
and a microphone on your computer (not an insignificant
requirement).
The chat service (http://delibrarian.chatango.co
m/) requires no downloads or registration, only Macromedia Flash Player. If I'm not
online, you can leave me a message (please include your email!) and I will get it as soon
as I login.
The two IM services, MSN Messenger and AIM, do require registration, but they
both have web interfaces, so you don't have to download the software.
If you are not using them from home, please check the regulations at
your workplace, school, or library. Many places still discourage the
use of chat and/or IM and I don't want to get anyone in trouble! You
may want to point out the number of
libraries that are now using IM for Virtual Reference, if you want to try and get policies
changed." [Frequently Answered Questions]
I love the idea of offering Skype, Flash-based chat, and IM options
to cover the broad spectrum of online – especially distant
– users. Hopefully Rebecca will provide more details, and
maybe even a review, of Chatango for use within libraries. She’s
embedded other cool things on the blog, too, like a link to Subscribe by email with rssfwd for
those users that don’t have aggregators. I love this page, too!
My exploration of Rebecca’s work all started, though, with a
link to her Library’s page describing Search
Plugins and Scripts for the Firefox Browser, where you’ll
find what are quickly becoming standard FF search plugins for the
catalog and their journal locator. However, she’s also playing
around with xISBN GreaseMonkey scripts, and
she’s included GM extensions for WorldCat and and her catalog
from Amazon! I definitely need some time to further explore this whole
concept, but here’s how Rebecca describes it on her
Library’s plugin page:
“These scripts create icons next to the titles of books on
Amazon.com linking to the CONSULS catalog or the OCLC WorldCat
‘Find in your Library’ database. GreaseMonkey is a Firefox
Extension that runs scripts to cause changes in the appearance and/or
actions of a web page. Not all web pages will run these
scripts.”
Last week, knowledge god Gary Price took some time to
light my bulb regarding the NeedleSearch toolbar, a
service that makes it stupidly easy to create your own toolbar for
your library’s catalog, no programming required! He first wrote this up all the way back in 2003, and
it’s still a good read. Highly recommended.
With all of this innovation coming on the Mozilla/Firefox side, you
have to wonder how far libraries could take all of this. I want to
push a lot of this with our SWAN
catalog and create various plugins and toolbars, highlight them
all on a single page, and let SWAN members either point to it or copy
the code onto their own sites. Rich Allen sent me a link to NOBLE's Firefox Tips and
Tricks, which comes close to this. It even mentions Smart
Keywords, including how to use
this with EBSCO. My only quibble is that all of this is hidden
from their home page.
Let power users be power users they way they want to be, not by
forcing them to use our advanced search screens! All I need are a few
more hours in each day….

the RIAA
08/23/2004 06:36 AMCory Doctorow:
As a requirement of its price-fixing settlement with the Feds, the
RIAA is obliged to give thousands of CDs to public libraries. However,
as has been noted, the CDs they're sending around are worse than shit:
hundreds of copies of the years-old Whitney Houston single of the Star
Spangled Banner, that species of kidney.
Jenny Levine (AKA the Shifted Librarian) works at a library where the
RIAA care packages have started to come in. She reports on the
contents thereof:
Several of the boxes are literally cut on the side, and the cut goes
into the jewel cases themselves. Hence my declaration that we received
a ton of "cut-outs." Some of the boxes even have dates of 2001 and
2002 posted on the labels, which I hope doesn't mean the date they
were boxed up and put into storage. There is no way these boxes were
packed by mistake as the result of a computer glitch. Some of the
labels very clearly say 30 copies of this or that title, and I highly
doubt the labels were supposed to cut the boxes after boxing and
labeling them.

2D Graphics Libraries
2D Graphics Libraries
05/05/2004 07:45 PM
While platforms these days have fairly good 2D graphics support
like Quartz on OSX,
GDI+ on XP, and , and Gnome Canvas, developers like me often have
to use third-party
libraries for whatever reasons. On Win32, for example, GDI+
support is missing
in legacy platforms which means either giving up on fancy
graphics, redistributing
GDI+ binaries, use a third party library, or writing one
yourself. Writing one
yourself is fun (I have done it a couple of times over 20 years)
but, unless it offers
some unique features, you'll always end up migrating to a third
party library.
BTW, Flash has an excellent 2D graphics engine but it's lacks an
API so it's like
a sports car without a driving wheel. Yes, you can embed the
Flash ActiveX and
generate SWF on-the-fly but it's unwieldy for dynamic interaction
and even handling
gets tricky. Embedding Adobe SVG ActiveX is just as unwieldy
if not more.
While there are proprietary 2D engines out there, typically written
by a few guys
at a small company, they tend to disappear within a couple of
years, either bought
by companies (i.e. Apple, Adobe, Macromind, and Microsoft), or
abandoned out
of lack of interest or workable revenue model. Besides, they
charge fairly steep
fees so I tend to avoid them.
Out of all the freely available 2D libraries out there, Libart stands
out in features and quality. It offers fast
anti-aliased rendering
and it's use in Gnome Canvas over the years means most of the bugs
have already been
stepped on. Libart is also used to drive librsvg,
a SVG engine, and Java 2D, Java's graphics API, although Sun made
extensive changes
to tap hardware acceleration. While Libart can and has been
used cross-platform,
it's not exactly cakewalk to use in non-Linix platofrms. Cairo has
some interesting features and rising interest could mean it will
replace Libart someday,
but it's still in development.
Third-party 2D graphics library I really like these days is Anti-Grain
Geometry (AGG) which, although dormant for the last two years,
has been rejuvenated
with the released of version 2.1. AGG is written in C++ and
uses templates extensively
like ATL does. AGG is lightweight, very fast, flexible, and
full of features.
It even comes with a partial implementation of SVG
viewer as an example. AGG supports Win32, X11, and SDL as
is. It doesn't
yet support features variable stroke effects like Creature House's
Expression
3 engine and Fractal Design's Painter support but then
it's just me being
unreasonable. :-)
I should note that subpixel graphics was first done 20 years
ago in Word
Handler to display 70 columns of hi-res text on Apple
II.Silicon
Valley Systems, the company that published Word Handler, was
based just 5 minutes
from where I live now and I enjoy fond memories of working there
every time I pass
by the old office on El Camino. I guess everybody remembers
their first job.
LCD screens were just starting to replace LED on calculators at the
time, so Steve
Gibson and Microsoft ClearType can claim to be the first to use
subpixel graphics
on LCD screen. Lenny Elekman, where are you now?

03/14/2005 06:23 PMI've been so short on time lately that I've been trying to avoid
using what little blogging time I do have to simply repost what other
library bloggers are already putting up. This one, however, was just
too good to pass up.
when was the
last time you had this kind of response to a new library
service?
"Brian didn’t give me permission to publish a portion of
his email, but I’m so excited about it I’m going to throw caution
into the wind. He wrote [emphasis mine]:
'Rule number 1: Don’t send out IM reference fliers to
every middle school and jr. high classroom on the same day!
Had to have been at least 100 IMs in the first 2 hours after the
kiddies got home. For a while, I had about 20 IM windows up at once.'
"
Someone recently observed that there are a lot of Eeyo
res in the library community, but I think we can officially
declare IM reference a Martha-Stewart-good-thing for (at least) public
libraries and move it to Pooh status.
Cost of purchasing the AIM software: $0.
Cost of staff time to "man" the AIM service during those two hours:
already paid for.
Satisfaction of having 100 kids respond positively and view the
library in a new light: PRICELESS.

12/04/2003 01:07 PMThe majority of libraries in England already have broadband access but
now the government is working on adding Wi-Fi: Most of the libraries
in King County, outside of Seattle, have Wi-Fi. It's a great, low-cost
way for libraries to offer Internet access without having to provide
computers for everyone. My library always has a line of people waiting
to get on its computers so perhaps with Wi-Fi some people could come
in with their own computers to use the Internet. But I wonder how many
of the people I see waiting in line there actually have laptops that
they could bring with them instead....

05/24/2004 01:41 AMTV News in a
Postmodern World: The Busine$$ of RSS
"Want a glimpse of tomorrow? Innovators Bill French and Harry Hayes
are SmartStream Alliance™ and have a product that's so compelling
that news executives of every sort will be scrambling to be first in
their market with it....
RSxStream is a sophisticated and ingenious software engine
that takes RSS, Atom, RDF, XML, any other sort of feed or data stream,
or any other content that lives on the Internet and makes it available
to the desktop via a contextual reader. End users are given a
state-of-the-art reader — capable of grabbing anything from live
TV to music to video-on-demand to simple RSS text feeds. If it's
available via the Internet (today), it can be routed through the
RSxStream engine. The end users have complete control of what sources
they choose, as they would with any other RSS reader. The difference
is those choices are drawn indirectly, through the RSxStream
software....
What's crucial to understand with this is that whoever provides the
reader to the public also owns the engine, and THAT is the business
end of RSS. It means advertising can be crafted into the design of the
reader and delivered based on the choices, habits and interests of the
end user. It's contextual advertising nirvana. This type of business
currently does not exist, but it's ideal for local media outlets. Why?
Because we're in the information distribution business, and getting
the reader onto the public's desktops is the key to its success.
Moreover, if the local media entities don't do it, somebody else will,
and they will take all those ad dollars with them." [DONATA Communications, via JD on MX]
I love the idea of providing the reader and even pre-populating it
with feeds relevant to the intended audience, but I hate the
idea of some company monetizing it. I'd much rather get a grant and
have libraries provide this information-centric software. We're in the
"information distribution" business, too, except we're interested in
people getting information without strings attached.
