    Sorry I haven’t gotten this up — I’ll post it tonight. –TR

  • Geneseo Resource Sharing project

    For the first time, in a really long time, I won’t be home on Mother’s Day.  A trip to Boston last week was extended to include some time in NY to talk to friends and the Geneseo library about the resource sharing project that they are working on.   I was really impressed by the work…

  • Quick MarcEdit FYI

    I’ll be posting an update this weekend that includes an updated bootloader to deal with a problem identified when installing on Vista 64-bit, as well as including enhancements to the Z39.50 Extended Services support and the OAI Harvester (making it more fault tolerant). Also, I reharvested the UMich. Google Books records and will be posting…

  • For the record, no, I’m not at IUG this year

    Funny day.  Great story.  I’ve been hanging out in Minnesota attending DLF and got a funny message.  Apparently, my absence at this year’s IUG was noticed and a few folks wanted to know if Innovative had somehow banned me from attending.  I found this an odd statement for two reasons.  First, I’m not sure what…

  • Denver International now has free wifi

    I’ll admit it — I arrange me layovers (when I have to have them) around airports that have free wifi.  For that reason, I’ve avoided Denver International for years.  Well, on my way to DLF — I had to layover in Denver for a couple of hours (thanks to a delayed flight) and imagine my…

  • Meeting the President

    That would be cool wouldn’t it, but that’s not quite what happened.  Thanks to the historically close Democratic Primary, President Bill Clinton spent Friday and Saturday in Oregon, campaigning for his wife in small towns across Oregon.  As luck would have it, one of the towns that he stopped was Monmouth, Oregon, right in our…

  • Connexion Plugin Update

    So, I updated the connexion plugin to fix a few issues and make it a little easier to work with.  The primary issues corrected deal with spacing of downloaded data.  Normalization of some fields where spacing is important ($w’s), where being stripped causing validation errors.  This has been corrected.  So how do you update?  Well,…

  • Sun to begin Close sourcing parts of MySQL Development

    I remember mentioning (https://blog.reeset.net/archives/490) that I wasn’t sure why, but I wasn’t wild about Sun aquiring MySQL.  And then today, I seen this link picked up on Slashdot (http://jcole.us/blog/archives/2008/04/14/just-announced-mysql-to-launch-new-features-only-in-mysql-enterprise/).  Apparently, Sun will start close sourcing parts of the code-base, making specific elements of the database (think enterprise level functionality), available to MySQL Enterprise customers.  I…

  • Z39.50 and Redistributables update

    I introduced an error into the batch Z39.50 search function.  This was corrected in this build.  The change affects the z39.50 client (as well as the redistributables).  Here are the download links: MarcEdit App: http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/software/development/MarcEdit51_Setup.exe Runtimes:  http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/software/development/MarcEdit51_Runtimes.exe   –TR

  • MarcEdit Update

    I’ve posted a MarcEdit with a good number of enhancements, though if they are implemented correctly, you shouldn’t see most of them.  Many are related to making Z39.50 client work better, fold some previous functionality back into MarcEdit and implement a few new pieces of functionality in the delimited text translator and Z39.50 Client.  …
