Terry’s Worklog

  • Metasearch updates

    So we continue.  The program is obviously still very basic, but at least its starting to look nice in the various UI testbeds. 🙂 –Terry

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Update (Doh!)

    Seems I have to modify my build procedures now that I’ve given a few libraries strong names and placed them in the GAC.  Unlike previously, each component simply used whatever the current library was in the program directory.  Unfortunately, now that the MARCEngine is signed, each component that links to it needs the reference recompiled. …

  • OSU’s metasearch development

    Ah, finally…I can sit back and rest for a minute.  After a bit of hard work, I’ve finally been able to turn over code to the interface group.   As a test — I pulled together a very quick test interface. Group Interface (grouped and ranked) List Interface (ranked) Very simple — essentially 2 xslt files. …

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Updated

    I posted a new update online.  Small changes only — again, still adding a few more polish to the program.  The two primary changes affect the Extract Selected MARC Records, Delete Selected MARC Records and Export Tab Delimited MARC records.  Moreover, in changing the Export Tab Delimited MARC Records, I had to make a change…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 updated

    You really won’t notice the change, but I made a few updates to the language files (updating elements) and then have put in a few additional refinements (i.e., saving/reloading elements in the export tab deleted utility [right click on the arguments list to initialize the menu]) As always, the update can be picked up from:…

  • Happy birthday to me

    My wife tried to set of the fire alarms in the house by putting all 29 candles on my cake today.  Hah…not even close.  I’ll need at least 30, I’m sure.  Anyway, 29 years and I’ve still managed to avoid growing up…and thankfully with young kids, I still don’t have to grow up for what,…

  • Truth in Advertising?

    I just love this…not to diss Western Oregon University, but I visited their home page and the title of the page just struck me as being funny.  It says: “Western Oregon University — Steadily emerging as a leading comprehensive public liberal arts college.” Below, the page notes that they are celebrating 150 years as a…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Update (Language File Editor)

    Most folks know that MarcEdit 5.0 allows users to localize the application — and in some respects, it does this very differently then most applications. Most applications utilize a resource file to store strings/resources utilized by the application. MarcEdit 5.0 is different — MarcEdit 5.0 utilizes an xml-based language file (or files) and a custom…

  • Google starts new digitization program with the U.S. National Archives

    Announced today — Google is entering into a pilot program with the U.S. National Archives to digitize all video content.  See: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2006/02/history-deserves-best.html –Terry

  • MarcEdit 5.0 update

    To deal with servers that provide either http headers in invalid formats or servers that use proxies with expired certificates, I ended up having make a few adjustments to the Verify URL utility.  To get an indepth explaination of what changes were made, please see: Dealing with expired security certificates: https://blog.reeset.net/archives/166 Dealing with invalid http…
