  • MarcEdit 5.0 Beta Refresh (Nov. 15, 2005)

    Well, well…after working with the SRU client on servers not from the Library of Congress — I’ve realized that I didn’t propery setup my internal stylesheets to handle servers that excluded namespaces. I also realized that outside of the Library of Congress, I couldn’t find another SRU server that supported the bath profile — however…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Beta Refreshed (Nov. 13, 2005)

    I’ve posted a revision to the MarcEdit 5.0 beta. (Download here. New stuff — the Z39.50/SRU client has been completed. Also, I’ve made some changes to the global MarcEditor functions to provide deduping and better swapping functionality. Also, for those interested in knowing — I downloaded .NET 2.0 to test on a machine and can…

  • MarcEdit MARCEngine Benchmarking

    Just a quick post — I’d pulled our entire database (1,252,718 records) and figured it would be a good chance to try running my console version of MarcEdit on my Linux box. So, I gave it a run converting my MARC records to MARCXML — which means that the program has to handle MARC8-UTF8 conversion…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 update

    Just a quicky — I updated MarcEdit 5.0. Basically a bug fix. Currently, I have two users auditing functionality and will be posting a comprehensive update that includes some new functions and fill in missing functionality. Also, I’ll be posting an updated help document (though not yet complete). I’ll be working on this through the…

  • Puppy pictures

    I forgot to post the pictures of our puppy visit. We visited our puppy — she’s 21 days old, eyes open and wobbling around. We should get to bring her home Nov. 19th. Anyway, here are some pictures: –Terry

  • Jack-o #1 finished

    Its funny what kids can make you do. I’d never really spent much time working on pumpkins over halloween — but for Kenny, the last two years I’ve done a scoopie doo and tom and jerry. This year, I decided that one of the 4 pumpkins that I’ll likely be doing this year is for…

  • I love college football 🙂

    You just have to love college football. I found this picture on CNN and on the internet when reading about the upcoming Notre Dame/USC game. Hillarious. And BTW, I’m rooting for USC this weekend. I always root for a Pac-10 team when playing out of conference — but I’ll be honest, I’ve never been a…

  • Readex Digital Institute Notes

    Ok — so I guess I’ll have to try this blogging a session again at DLF and simply post notes in real-time… 2005 Readex Digital Institute Trip Report, Terry Reese Background: While this isn’t the biggest gathering that I attend during the year, it’s definitely been one of my favorites. Essentially, for those that haven’t…

  • Readex Update

    Well, I realized something — its difficult to blog a session when you don’t have an Internet connection. We have connects in the conference room by I’m a bit old fashioned I think, because it just seems a little rude to be blogging during someones talk — so I’d hoped to get to type up…

  • Playing in Vermont

    Ah, to get out of the office…I was looking at the weather this morning and would you believe it — I’m getting better weather here in Vermont than my compatriots are having in Oregon. Who would have thought that I’d have to go to Vermont to get back to the mid-70 degree afternoons. Its great.…
