  • MarcEdit 5.0 bug report fyi

    Just an fyi — I’d received some test files today for a small set of records where some diacritics were being mangled when translating data from MARCXML to MARC in MARC-8.  I investigated, and there is a very narrow bug in the application that I’ve corrected and will post as an update this evening.  The problem only…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 components updates

    New updates already…I was playing with MarcEdit this afternoon and run into a couple of small bugs that I squashed this afternoon.  I made the following changes: MarcEditor Printing:  Oops, I made a change last night and broke the MarcEditor printing.  To make is so that the program could print fonts correctly, I’d modified the…

  • Cycling in the rain

    Its still storming and raining here in Oregon.  Today was great.  This morning, I road into work (25 miles) and battled with wind all the way in.  Fortunately, this is what I wanted today.  However, coming home — the wind was gusting up to 35 mph with constant 13-15 mph wind…I was fast.  25 miles…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Update

    Alright, I’ve been doing a little bit of interface work on the 5.0 MarcEditor to make editing 006/008 fields easier for users.  So, I’ve made the following changes: 006/008 Editing Windows.  These are found under the Edit menu in the MarcEditor.  It will edit an existing field or generate a new field.   A couple of…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Revision

    Alright, I just uploaded a new version of MarcEdit 5.0 that includes a bug fix, an enhancement and some new functionality in the setup program (that I’ve tested, but will be interested in hearing if anyone has problems with the new functions). Here are the changes: Bug Fix:  Preview pane had a bug relating to…

  • MarcEdit and RSS Part 2

    Ok, so MarcEdit includes an RSS reader…great.  So what do folks want to see me do with it.  I’ve been starting to work on a feed reader that would allow users to place feeds from journals into a scheduler so one could generate MARC records for new article titles as they are posted.  I’ve also…

  • Speaking of flooding

    Speaking of flooding, I just finished sheparding a new digital collection — a set of aerial obliques of the 1964 Corvallis flood.  The interface is still rough, but the collection can be accessed at: Rising Waters: the 1964 Corvallis Flood.  –Terry

  • Floating down the Willamette River?

    One of the things that Oregon has traditionally been famous for is her rainy winters.  However, to visit over the past four or so years, you really wouldn’t think that the reputation was deserved.  In fact, we haven’t had our last good flooding since 1996.  Well, who doggie, we are making up for it this…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Update

    I’ve posted an update — its a small update (blame the holidays), but includes a couple of things that will help new installations. Changes: 1) I’ve added code to the Setup Program that will check for the .NET Framework 1.1 and the MDAC 2.7 components. Each of which are required for MarcEdit to run correctly.…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Refresh (Dec. 20, 2005)

    Alrighty, I’ve posted a new build tonight (or this morning, depending of your time-zone). So what’s new…the biggest new option is the inclusion of a lite-weight RSS reader that will read information from the MarcEdit blog. Getting information to new and existing users has been an ongoing problem — but I think that this might…
