  • What are they thinking!?

    This is definitely going to be one of those venting type of posts. I was enjoying myself — riding my bike in this morning in the cold morning air and between Independence and Corvallis — I was having a great morning. Then, I got to a 3/4 mile stretch right after the Luckiamute River bridge,…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 refresh

    A quick refresh that corrected a few small problems that had been reported with the Deduplication utility in the MarcEditor, a small issue in the Z39.50 Client and the batch utility. Unfortunately, I’ve been a little busy working on a few other things — but I think I’ll be able to start pushing through the…

  • Coos to UK — 100 K ride

    I’ve been looking for a nice way to finish my summer riding schedule and this year, I was able to do some riding in my old stomping grounds and help out a good cause all at the same time. The Coos Bay, OR police Dept. were raising monies to travel to the UK and one…

  • Oregon Vineyard Country

    I sometimes forget how pretty the Willamette Valley is — and then I get on my bike and Oregon just opens up. This is one of my favorite times of the year — early fall/late summer when there is still daylight in the morning and the afternoons still hit 70, 80 degrees but the mornings…

  • New baby on the way….

    Well, we are expecting a new baby…a puppy 🙂 (ha, ha). We are getting a new Yellow Lab. from a breeder in Aumsville, OR. The momma dog is expecting the last week of Sept., first week of Oct. so we will get to pick out the puppy at 5 weeks and take her home at…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 (beta) refreshed

    I’ve refreshed the MarcEdit 5.0 (beta) update. This corrects the few remaining issues in the Z39.50 client, adds a list of Z39.50 clients to choose from (see note below on this change), hardens the MARCengine a bit more, completes the UTF-8=>MARC8 conversion in respect to superscript characters and adds few pieces of functionality to the…
