  • Happy Thanksgiving

    Everyone have a happy and safe thanksgiving. –TR

  • Packing on the miles

    I need to thank Kyle — because of him, I’m riding quite a few more miles during the winter than normal.  In a normal year, I’d say that I put approximately 10,000 or so commuting miles on my bike (this doesn’t include my recreational riding).  However, once winter comes around, I generally start cutting back…

  • MarcEdit 5.1 Update

    So I’ve posted an update that fixes a few things.  Corrects the preview function (with one of the last windows service packs, it changed how some data is passed as command-line arguments.  This broke the preview option.  This should correct it). Select/Delete MARC records — fixed the Field searching (F#: mnemonic). Added the Plugin manager. …

  • Dynamically loading and Unloading Assemblies in C#

    While working on a plugin manager for a program written in C#, I found myself with a need to be able to load and unload assemblies dynamically be an application.  In C#, loading assemblies is a fairly easy prospect — one just needs to make use of the System.Reflection class.  Something like the following: System.Reflection.Assembly…

  • LibraryFind 0.8.4 upcoming changes

    At some point, I’ll likely move this to the LibraryFind blog.  I just realized that I couldn’t remember my login information to post to the blog — so, I’ll post here. I’m not exactly sure if the UI changes will be made in 0.8.4 to incorporate the new spawning/pinging (I think that they will), but…

  • LibraryFind 0.8.3 tagged

    Jeremy I’m sure will get the tgz version of the file up and ready on the LF site soon, but the 0.8.3 instance of libraryfind has been tagged.  If you are interested in finding out more about libraryfind, see: http://www.libraryfind.org.   –TR

  • Christmas in October

    So I finished my second Jack-o-lantern this evening.  I needed the boy’s help because we had to clean 3 pumpkins to make it work.  Our project for this year — a snow man.  Since we don’t get a whole lot of snow in the Willamette Valley, we decided to improves. 🙂 –TR  

  • Let the Halloween Pumpkin carving begin

    Halloween is just a few days away and this year, I’m getting the pumpkin in right under the wire.  The first jack-o-lantern done tonight was for my boys.  Here’s a picture: For those that don’t have a 6 year old (or a person that acts like a 6 year old), the picture is of the Pokemon…

  • MarcEdit 5.1 Updates

    It’s been about a month since the last update, so I’ve got a whole slew of changes to note with this update.  However, before noting the things that are fixed, I should note the things that are enhanced.  Over the last month, I’ve written ~10,000 new lines of code to continue to work to make…

  • Travel karma

    After spending two weeks running around Vermont hiking, biking and finding a little time to speak to friends at Middlebury College and the Readex Institute — I’ve apparently had a little too good of a time because when I got back, the cycling gremlins jumped all over me.  Monday — my first day back —…
