  • Code4Lib 2006

    Well, I finally registered for the Code4Lib hackfest that will be going on in Corvallis, OR this February. It sounds like much fun. If it sounds like something that might interest you, you should check it out. –Terry

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Beta refresh2 (Dec. 18, 2005)

    Now that I’m getting closer to removing the beta “tag” from the program, there will likely be a few more frequent refreshes over the next few weeks. I’ll try to note what’s changed so folks can decide if they want to keep up to date. Shortly, I’m going to be updating the setup program itself…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 refresh (Dec. 18, 2005)

    Ok — I’ve finished adding the preview mode into MarcEdit 5.0. This is a very cool feature that I’ve already been enjoying to handle a pair of 300 MB files. Generally, I would write a script for this type of editing because of the slow file loading when dealing with such large files. However, with…

  • Kenny’s Christmas Play

    Our church, the Monmouth-Independence Calvary Chapel, had its annual children’s Christmas play. This is the second year that Kenny has been a part of it. The kids are always really cute and Nathan even had a good time. He loves Christmas music and was jamming along in my lap. Kenny is the shepard in the…

  • Icy in Oregon

    Well, you can definitely tell that its winter. On Thursday, when I rode my bike to work, it was 16 degrees at my house and in single digits over the course of my ride on the highway. When I got to work, I was frozen over — my eyelashes, eye brows, gloves, etc. It was…

  • More pictures of my brother’s wedding

    Even though Alyce, my wife, was busy helping with the wedding, she was able to snap a few pictures of the actual wedding itself, so I thought I would post them. Since I outlined the cast of characters in an earlier post, I’ll just post the pictures. –Terry

  • MarcEdit 5.0 beta Preview Mode

    I thought I’d post a little more information regarding MarcEdit’s new Preview Mode. Earlier, I’d mentioned that I will be implementing a preview mode into the MarcEditor. The reason for this is many, but here are a few of the highlights: 1) Will load just the first nnn number of bytes into the editor. This…

  • New OSU Digital Collections: OSU Herbarium Type Specimens

    Officially released last week, OSU has made available a nifty new digital collection called the OSU Herbarium Type Specimens. This collection was done in collaboration with the Herbarium library on campus — and essentially takes photographed images of original specimens and matches them with the original descriptions of the specimens. It required working with a…

  • Finally — a little sister

    It took 28 years, but I finally got myself a little sister. I took a break this weekend from programming (well, for the most part) to attend my youngest brother’s wedding on the Oregon Coast. I have some pictures — though not as many as I’d like. Since I was the best man, I wasn’t…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 — MarcEditor Preview mode

    This is just informational — a little bit of a heads up as I finish working this out. Essentially, what I’m doing it building a preview mode into the MarcEditor. The assumption here is that if you have a file over a certain size (by default, 1 MB) — the MarcEditor will default loading the…
