  • Oregon Vineyard Country

    I sometimes forget how pretty the Willamette Valley is — and then I get on my bike and Oregon just opens up. This is one of my favorite times of the year — early fall/late summer when there is still daylight in the morning and the afternoons still hit 70, 80 degrees but the mornings…

  • New baby on the way….

    Well, we are expecting a new baby…a puppy 🙂 (ha, ha). We are getting a new Yellow Lab. from a breeder in Aumsville, OR. The momma dog is expecting the last week of Sept., first week of Oct. so we will get to pick out the puppy at 5 weeks and take her home at…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 (beta) refreshed

    I’ve refreshed the MarcEdit 5.0 (beta) update. This corrects the few remaining issues in the Z39.50 client, adds a list of Z39.50 clients to choose from (see note below on this change), hardens the MARCengine a bit more, completes the UTF-8=>MARC8 conversion in respect to superscript characters and adds few pieces of functionality to the…

  • Crater Lake Trip — Pictures

    Thanks to Kyle for providing some pictures. Full resolution pictures can be found at: http://www.alptown.com/photos/images/Oregon.2005.CraterLake.Joe.Kyle.jpg http://www.alptown.com/photos/images/Oregon.2005.CraterLake.Joe.jpg http://www.alptown.com/photos/images/Oregon.2005.CraterLake.Terry.jpg http://www.alptown.com/photos/images/Oregon.2005.CraterLakeEastSide.jpg http://www.alptown.com/photos/images/Oregon.2005.CraterLakeWestSide.jpg http://www.alptown.com/photos/images/Oregon.2005.CraterLakeWizardIsland.jpg But since I doubt most folks are interested, I’ll just post some smaller res. files here. –Terry

  • Crater Lake Trip

    What a blast! I’ll post pictures sometime later but I just got back from a camping trip where me, Kyle Banerjee, Joe Toth (our wanderer from Vermont), Bryan Miyagishima and Betty (I forget her last name right now) rode our bikes from Diamond Lake to Crater Lake, around the rim and back. Its actually quite…

  • Z39.50 Client Refreshed

    I’ve refreshed the Z39.50 client in the 5.0 beta. Much of the credit to this goes to Larry Dixon of the Library of Congress for testing and providing suggestions. The revisions are fairly significant and include corrections or additions to: 1) Batch search — when doing a query, one would get a blank file. Oops,…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Beta Update (8/24/05)

    Ok — I’ve posted a new beta refresh. This version includes a version of the Z39.50 client. I should have the SRU code included this week (I hope) — but folks that are interested can start trying the Z39.50 client now. Its a bit different than before — hopefully better. I’ve made some accommedations for…

  • Playing with AJAX (continued)

    I’ve posted the XML/XSLT CONTENTdm example files at: CONTENTdm XML/XSLT Example The AJAX examples are found in the compound object code and the image code. The idea here is that I didn’t want to reload pages over and over again — hence I wanted to just pull small snippets of data and replace them when…

  • ILL ASAP 2.5 Program and Source

    I’ve uploaded the C# version of ILL ASAP 2.5. You can download just the setup or the source. The program works with all ILS systems, but will only pull holdings data from SIRSI and III ILS systems (these were the two systems that I had testers). If users of other ILS systems would like to…

  • Playing with AJAX

    I’m not sure I really like this term — but I’ve been doing some design work to play around with this “AJAX” concept. At OSU, we use a product called CONTENTdm as our image repository — however, the software was just recently upgraded an the new api has caused a need to update our interfaces.…
