Winnie the Pooh goes to Washington
Winnie the Pooh goes to Washington
01/03/2005 11:59 AMIn spite of all the hype over the party's sweep of the November
elections, it looks like we may see business as usual after all in
Republican-controlled Washington -- the business of getting relatively
little done.

01/22/2004 03:35 PMAA Milne's granddaughter has had her bid to recapture the licensing
rights to Winnie the Pooh denied by a UK court. The Milne heirs
licensed the rights to Pooh to Disney, only to discover that Milne had
previously sold them to his literary agent, who is now suing Disney
for all they're worth. The UK court ruling is the latest setback on
the way to what could be the Disney company's financial ruination for
(ironically!) trademark infringement.

Wow,
Sony can't catch a break. First the Queen of England buys an
iPod mini. Then, at a luncheon with new Sony CEO Howard
Stringer—a known Englishman Welshman (Welsh, English,
whatev! Don't make us bomb you.)—the Queen chided him for
making products that are difficult to use. "I have a lot of trouble
with your remote controls," she's quoted. "Too many arrows."
What Queen Elizabeth II neglected to admit, however, is that due to
the long history of in-marriage in the Hapsburg line, she has only a
single lobster claw at the tip of each arm.

02/05/2003 03:21 PMI am sorry that I have been silent for a few days, but college is
in full swing and the hectic nature of it seems to be gaining day by
day. On top of the workload, I'm trying to figure out how to pay for
the next couple of semesters. I say this, and you can quote me:
Money sucks.
I have enhanced the usability of the undocked portion of
Outside Reading. You may now browse all available RSS
feeds without having to navigate back to the home page.
Progress on releasing my blogging tool is slow, but I'm getting
closer. I appreciate your patience.
On the next episode of My Webhost Sucks: I've
been playing email-tag with unnamed support staff for a week now
regarding an Apache problem and have thus far received zero help on
the issue. The only action they've taken so far was to delete my
.htaccess files, thus rendering my site all but inoperable for a few
hours. I've been considering Pair
as my next webhost, any experience with them? I need a host that
allows hosting a number of domains with limited restrictions, which
Pair seems to have reasonable policies for.

02/16/2003 06:26 PMSo yeah, I made some style changes. Many people have commented to
me that the new design is too dark. I partially agreed, but I wasn't
too bothered by it. Regardless, I decided to see what it would look
like lighter. So I made a backup of the stylesheet and played around.
I like the results. Along the way, I made the sidebar smaller,
because there was too much empty space.
Just in case you despise the new color scheme, the old one is still
available. I implemented a style sheet
switcher that allows you to set the style you would like for this
page. If you'd like, you can set the style back to Dark under the
Set Styles heading of the navigation.
Boy I was busy today. I also installed the CurrentlyHearing
plugin for Winamp. Everytime I
load a song in Winamp, CurrentlyHearing updates a text file on my
server with what I am listening too. The result is that I can display
what I am listening to on my site in real time, which I have done in
the top right corner of the page. I plan on doing more with it
eventually but for now it is just displaying the artist and track
name.
Bob of Mijnkopthee.nl has
set up a really good looking blogroll tool that utilizes my RSS parser. Here is an example of what it does, and here is a loosely translated
page of how he did it.

Innovative Gets Busy!
Innovative Gets Busy!
06/05/2005 11:24 PMI’m totally snowed under writing grants and dealing with some
medical stuff going on at home, but I just had to post about this.
Someone forwarded to me Innovative’s June
2005 newsletter (PDF). See if you can spot why from the following
list of just a few things they will be introducing in upcoming
releases:
- A program registration module that uses the
patron database to let your users register for
events.
- Spell-check for searches in the catalog
(let’s add auto suggest, too, eh?).
- “Patron
materials rating,” which is an ugly way of saying user ratings
and you can see how others are rating titles. You can also add a
reading history module that lets users track what they’ve
already read, all of which integrates with the ratings
piece.
- WebBridge “smart” linking, which highlights
resources you’ve designated for specific searches when the user
runs that search.
- The ability to link to ebook and audio ebook
vendors from the 856 field in AirPAC.
- Sympsoia, a digital
repository module.
- RSS.
Yep, you read that right
– RSS! So the good news is that they are currently beta testing
RSS feeds with Yale University, and Innovative seems to understand what
they need to offer in terms of feeds.
“Now, Innovative’s RSS
(Really Simple Syndication) development will make possible new
time-critical features for both anonymous and logged-in users of the
online catalog. RSS is an XML format that allows organizations and
individuals to feed news data directly into news readers or webpages
as it is updated. The XML feed can be converted to HTML for use in a
wide variety of contexts.
It is already possible to add these
HTML portions with feed data into any library-customizable page in the
Web OPAC. With Release 2006LE, available late this year, Innovative
customers will have the ability to convert feeds to HTML without using
third-party solutions. Also, the library will be able to generate its
own feeds of new titles acquired by the
library….
Innovative will use RSS to support one-to-many
communication, but in Release 2006 there will also be one-to-one
support. Patrons will be able to get RSS messages as part of their My
Millennium suite of personalization features. Timely messages such as
‘Materials due tomorrow’ or ‘New item on hold shelf
for you’ will let patrons know about their interactions with the
library more quickly than ever before.”
I am
thrilled to hear about all of this, but you also just read the bad
news – 2006. That means my SWAN libraries really will
lose a minimum of 924 hours of staff
time this year after all. Still, they’re heading in the
right direction and doing lots of cool stuff, so I tip my hat to III
and say job well done!
