  • A Day out with Thomas the Tank Engine

    It’s been a busy 4th of July weekend and we still have one more day of fireworks left.  Whew!  Today, we took the long drive from Independence to Hood River, Or. to spend a day with Thomas the Tank Engine.  This was something that we had done when Kenny was 2 1/2, before Nathan was…

  • First run of the summer

    Ah — I survived my first timed run of the summer…barely.  *grin*.  It’s been 15 years since I’ve put the running shoes on and ran for time and thought that the Monmouth-Independence MiniMarathon (2.6 miles) would be a good one to start on.  Now, I’ve only been running really, for about 2 months with any…

  • Airline karma

    I’d mentioned sometime back (https://blog.reeset.net/archives/489) that I was planning on being one of the crazy Beaver fans that will be making the trip to Penn State this year to hopefully watch out team spank the Nitty Lions silly.  At the time, I didn’t have football tickets, but was smart enough to make airline reservations and…

  • ALA 2008 Report and Impressions

    So another ALA annual has come and gone and it’s time to jot down my notes and impressions from my time here in Anaheim.  Of all the events I attend during the year, ALA is the one that I have the most difficult time quantifying what I actually get from the organization.  One the one…

  • ALA Notes — Running in Anaheim

    Since ALA seems to shutdown around noon so folks can go and get some lunch, I decided to try my hand at getting a little run in before heading back.  I’ve tried running in California before (mostly San Francisco), and the number of people and cars always foil me.  I’m use to my afternoon runs…

  • MarcEdit 5.x update

    I’ve made a few updates that fix a few things with the MARCEngine COM object as well as the Tab Delimited wizard.  The big changes are to the MarcEngine.  I’m slowly starting to roll a few changes into the application that will eventually be used for UniMARC conversions.  Also, I’ve made some changes to the…

  • Sometimes, my wife must think she has 3 children 🙂

    The pictures say it all right?  We decided to have a little fun before father’s day.  We’ll see how long our new hair cuts last (though, I’ll probably keep my at least for one day of work) :)  But it was a lot of fun cutting them.  🙂   –TR     I always close…

  • MarcEdit 5.x updated and available again

    Took a little longer than I thought it would, but I’ve uploaded a new version of MarcEdit that corrects the parsing error.  It took a little longer partly because the problem only occurred when dealing with 15 characters.  Also, I’ve added a new way of rendering the MarcEditor.  When rendering large Unicode files, the loading…

  • Wii Fit

    The people at Nintendo must be geniuses, because their most recent “game”, the Wii Fit, shows off everything that is cool about their console.  I have a Wii — we got it for the boys (ha!) and I love the game play.  I love the simplified controllers, the interactive nature of the games — and…

  • Oops…MarcEdit 5.x build suspended (temporarily)

    *Updated:*  Did a little more testing and this problem is related to characters not in the MARC8 character map (those broken in the MARC8 mnemonic that look like, for example: {88} or {89}.  These will translate to ? on the way back rather than keeping this character.  So, for most folks, you’d never see this…
