  • MarcEdit 5.2 update

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I spent some time this week try to see how many of the requests I could accommodate. So, I posted a new update which includes the following changes: Bug Fixes: 1) MarcValidator bug has been squashed — this bug would cause items validated from within the MarcEditor to be incomplete…

  • MarcEdit 5.2 Update

    I’ve posted a wide ranging update to MarcEdit that includes a number of new features, enhancements and fixes.  If there was something that you had requested and I said that I would get to it in the next update and you don’t see it on this list, let me know.  I might have added it…

  • MarcEdit 5.2 update/Linux download

    For some time, I’ve been working on a development branch of MarcEdit to provide better (i.e., official) support for the application on Linux.  This was actually one of the big reasons behind the change in program languages from a mix of Assembly/Delphi to C#, as well as my interest and periodic activity with the Mono…

  • XP Virtualization in Windows 7

    I generally prefer to run Sun’s VirtualBox for virtualization — but the fact that Microsoft provides a free version of XP for virtualization was too good to pass up for my testing purposes.  Installing XP Mode was easy enough — but what I found interesting was how Microsoft integrated the XP Mode.  While you can…

  • MarcEdit 5.2 Update

    I just wanted to let everyone know that I posted an update to MarcEdit.  These are the highlights: Z39.50 — Updating UTF conversion so source character set can be specified Swap Field Function — updating the function to allow multiple subfields to link to a single subfield Sorting Fix Find All Update — Fixed some…

  • Google OS fun

    I’ll have to admit — I’m not particularly sold yet on Google’s new cloud-based OS idea — I think largely for two reasons: 1) I don’t trust the cloud enough at this point to be willing to store all my data there 2) On my netbook (which would be the primary device for this software)…

  • MarcEdit 5.2 Available

    It’s been a lot of work, but I’m finally ready to officially release  MarcEdit 5.2, though with some caveats.  This is the first public 5.2 build (there have been some private builds that have been available to some folks on the MarcEdit ListServ) — and as far as I can tell, potential problems related to…

  • Jack-0-lantern the last (2009)

    Yesterday, I posted pictures of my families first three jack-o-lanterns.  These were Kenny, Nathan and Alyce’s pumpkins — but I didn’t have one.  So, I went to the store and picked up a new pumpkin so I could carve my own jack-o-lantern.  I had an idea of what I wanted — over the past two…

  • Jack-o-lanterns 2009

    As the habit here at my house, the boys and I finally got our jack-o-lanterns finished for this year.  Well, mostly finished.  I still need to make one for work — but I got the important ones finished.  The boys really look forward to our pumpkin carving nights.  We spend a good deal of time…

  • MarcEdit Paging approach

    I’m just about to the point where I have this work completed and will be ready to send it out for a few people for testing.  However, I want to provide some feedback so folks have an idea how this will work (even if you’re not that interested). Paging: The idea here is that loading…

Got any book recommendations?
