  • 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…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Beta bug fix

    I found an interesting little bug in the MARCEngine that occurs only when using the MARC=>UTF8 component when converting data into XML in Arabic. Its been corrected and reuploaded. One other interesting note…while testing my recent updates to the MarcEditor (improving large file loading), I found that when openning files with a mix of Arabic…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Update (Dec. 7, 2005)

    Ha! Finally, I got the record exporting code to work again. When I’d first set it up, it worked great on our ILS, but didn’t on others. So, after a few sleepless nights (and banging my head against a wall and sobbing) I finally got this problem fixed. The program should now work as expected…

  • More Goldie pictures

    Well, well, our puppy is turning into a little horse. Who know how fast puppies actually grew. Yikes! Anyway, here a few Goldie pictures, during the rare moments where she and the boys are not chasing each other through the house. 🙂 –Terry

  • MarcEdit 5.0 refresh

    I posted a rebuild at: MarcEdit50_Setup.exe. The problem was in the last update, I overwrote the master xml function list (the list found in the MARC Tools Window) with the master list on my development machine, so you will likely find that xml functions are now broken if you’d updated. This will correct it. I’m…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 refresh (Dec. 6, 2005)

    I’ve uploaded a new version of MarcEdit 5.0. The new features: 1) Batch Processing — This tool allows you to select a directory, file types and then a function. From there, it will automatically enumerate through the directory processing each file. 2) In the MarcEditor — a Jump to function. This allows you to jump…

  • IE Toolbar revision and notes

    I did a little revision this weekend and added the ability to add your own resources to the IE Toolbar for our library. I’ll be implementing this code for Firefox as well so that I can keep compatibility between the two browsers. Here’s an image: However, something I’m considering doing — and have actually started…
