  • MarcEdit OSX Public Preview 1

    It’s with a little trepidation that I’m formally making the first Public Preview of the MarcEdit OSX version available for download and use.  In fact, as of today, this version is now *the* OSX download available on the downloads page.  I will no longer be building the old code-base for use on OSX. When I…

  • Updating resources on the main UI thread: OSX & C#

    One of the things that has been a learning experience for me has been understanding how OSX handles threading, understanding what objects are thread-safe, and how to capture user feedback from within an thread running outside of the main UI thread. Conceptually, Windows, OSX, Linux — UIs tend to be run through a single, primary…

  • MarcEdit 6 Update

    So I missed one — I made some changes to how MarcEdit loads data into the MarcEditor to improve performance, especially on newer equipment, and introduced a bug.  When making multiple global updates, the program may (probably) will lose track of the last page of records.  This slipped through my unit tests because the program…

  • 2014 Halloween Pumpkins

    Ever since having kids, one of my favorite parts of Halloween has been the carving of the Jack-o-lanterns.  Each year, the family picks out different characters, and I try to see what I can do with each. This is our 2014 crop of jack-o-lanterns. Calvin and Hobbes Sherlock Snow Leopard (created from a picture) –tr

  • Reminder to update your links for MarcEdit

    I got a reminder from Oregon State University that my old web space will be disabled this weekend.  I’ve since moved all the content to a new location, but be aware that it will likely take the search engines some time to update these redirects since so many people linked to the older URLs.  Old…
