  • How Delta screwed me…again, and again, and again…..

    I just got back home from without a doubt the most horrendous travel experience I’ve ever had dealing with an airline.  And to be honest, it wasn’t until this weekend that I never really realized how little help travelers have when something goes wrong.  For me, my story started back in January of this year. …

  • LibraryFind notes & stuff

    So, I just wanted to update folks on some LibraryFind work.  0.8.5.1 is pretty much ready to go.  The only things that I’ve been waiting on are changes to two core components — the oai.gem and the sru gem.  So, I added libxml support to the sru gem (both support for the current and past…

  • LibraryFind Changes a coming

    It’s been a little while since the public LibraryFind code repository has been changed.  This is mostly due to some work being done privately with a number of partners to tweak the software for use within some larger local implementation.  Over this next weekend, I’m going to be working on moving many of these changes…

  • MarcEdit 5.1 Updates

    While I’ll have to admit that much of my time over the past two months has been sucked up by other commitments (like preparing my dosier for my six year review), I have had some time to make some significant changes to MarcEdit — at least — some significant changes to parts of the MarcEdit…

  • 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…
