Serving Your Users in their Offices







Serving Your Users in their Offices

Serving Your Users in their Offices 06/22/2005 02:19 AM

There’s a lot of “places” where your library could shift to meet your users in their space. Here’s another one from the brilliant mind of John Wohlers, he of the library FireFox search extension.

Microsoft® Office 2003 Research Pane

“The Todd library now offers the ability to search our library catalog directly from within most Microsoft Office 2003 applications. To activate this new feature you will need to install our Research Service….

To use the service you will need to access the research pane in a Microsoft Office 2003 application. First select the ‘Task Pane’ option from the ‘View’ menu. Once the task pane is displayed you will need to switch to the Research pane by selecting the drop-down at the top of the task pane. After you have switched to the Research pane you will need to select ‘Todd Library: Online Catalog’ from the drop-down box located below the search box. You may now perform keyword searches of the Todd Library Online catalog any time from your Office 2003 Application.”

Emphasis above is mine because that’s what I’m talking about! I even mentioned this exact type of product at last year’s Illinois Library Association conference as the type of web service libraries need to be moving towards. And maybe we can all move there a little faster, because John noted the following in an email to me:

“This service will ONLY work on windows computers with Microsoft Office 2003 installed.  There does not seem to be a comparable feature in the Macintosh office suite.
 
Once I do more a little more clean up (yes I'm a messy coder...) I will most likely make the source code available to the world via a project on source forge.  It is my hope that in doing so others will be able to contribute to this project and make it something the library world as a whole can be proud of.”

Suh-weet! Now if I just had a copy of Office 2003 so I could see this in action for myself….  ;-)

All in all a cool looking set that I'm sure many fans will appreciate finally being made available at retail. Happy hunting!

Serving XML provides a pipeline language for declaratively adapting content to XML, transforming it through a chain of XSLT stylesheets and SAX filters, and producing a stream of output to a local or remote destination. The accompanying console app supports reading content as XML files, flat files, SQL queries, or SAX events, and writing it as XML, HTML, PDF, or mail attachments. This software is especially suitable for converting flat files to XML, with its support for variant record types, multi-valued fields, namespaces, hierarchical grouping of records, row-by-row validation with XML Schema, and much more. There is also an API for embedding the software in a Java application.
Changes:
This release added features for date conversion, regular expression search and replace, and more general record-to-XML mappings.

If you have large PDF files at your site, you might want to read this Microsoft technote explaining how IE handles content types associated with [Netscape] plug-ins (i.e. Acrobat) and programmer-level workaround Mat t Raible.  I suspect IE's weird triple request was to support some misbehaving yet popular plugins.

I am not sure if popular web servers like Apache and IIS comes with built-in filters to address this problem.  If not, then this opens up another golden shareware moment.

06/23/2004 12:23 PM
Microsoft continued turning up the heat on Linux with its Get The Facts campaign last week. This time, Microsoft claimed that Windows 2003 was faster at file and print serving tasks than a Red Hat Linux server, based on a test performed by Veritest. The tests pitted a Windows 2003 Standard Edition server against Red Hat Linux Enterprise Linux ES 3.0 running Samba 3.0 - a software package that allows Linux/Unix servers to host Windows clients. The machines were loaded onto an HP DL380 G3 with two 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 processors, 4GB of RAM and an Intel PRO/1000 MT Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter. Also used was a Dell PowerEdge 500SC server configured with one 1 GHz Pentium III processor, 1GB of RAM, an onboard Intel 100M bit/sec Ethernet network adapter, and one Intel PRO/100 Fast Ethernet NIC. Microsoft said the results showed that the Windows server performed 46 per cent better than the HP-based Linux box, and 24 per cent better than the Dell Linux server.

An Army officer serving in Iraq writes


An Army officer serving in Iraq writes 07/26/2004 04:12 AM
I just ran across this brilliant essay, The Military: Losing Hearts and Minds? by Captain Oscar R. Estrada, that was published earlier this summer in the Washington Post. I can't believe that it hasn't been more widely circulated. It is worth reading in it entirety, but here are a few excerpts: The General and the Colonel have told us that we are the main effort, at the forefront of helping to rebuild Iraq. But how do you rebuild when all around you destruction and violence continue? Do the facts and figures showing levels of electricity restored, the amount of drinking water available, the number of schools reconstructed or the numbers of police officers hired and trained really convince the Iraqi people that we are here to help? Are we winning their hearts and minds? Winning hearts and minds is my job, in a nutshell. I'm an Army Reserve civil affairs (CA) officer stationed in Baqubah, 30 miles northeast of Baghdad. In Vietnam, winning hearts and minds was mostly a Special Forces task, but after that they were smart enough to get out of it, and the responsibility has since fallen into the laps of reservists like me who are trained to deal with every conceivable problem that arises when Big Army meets Little Civilian. And that's why CA soldiers are among those most often deployed overseas in the Reserve. ... One day last week we rolled into the town of Zaghniyah to win some of the local hearts and minds. In a country where most people are unemployed, we offer the townspeople $1 for every bag of trash they can collect. Our "docs" -- medics, assistants and physicians -- set up shop in the local health clinic and we try to "engage local leadership." ... An old man waves me off and tells me that they know the Americans control everything and will do so as long as they are here. The rest of the men nod in agreement. As the day wears on, every ray of sun seems to add weight to my Kevlar helmet and body armor. I am at a loss as to why our efforts aren't recognized or appreciated. But then, as I look at the children collecting trash and the main road clogged with military vehicles, as I watch one of our docs try to help a woman carrying a gaunt and sickly baby in...

Internet Movie Database - Wikipedia: An interesting few paragraphs on the history of the IMDb.

The database started out in 1990 as a collection of shell scripts created by Col Needham which could be used to search the FAQs posted to the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.movies.

In 1993, a centralized e-mail interface for querying the database was created, and in 1994 this interface was extended to allow the submission of information as well. The database then moved to a Web-based interface, which initially ran on a network of mirrors with donated bandwidth. In 1996, the project was incorporated in the United Kingdom to form Internet Movie Database Ltd., and banner ads were added to the web site.

In April 1998, the company was bought by Amazon.com, the current owner; however, a number of the original creators, including Needham, remained as site managers.

How many great things in the world started as shell scripts somewhere? It's a hacker's world.
