That’s right, I’m here - I have had a shower and a lunch (or whatever meal it was) and now I’m ready to head down to some sessions before the end of the day. Unfortunately I’m suffering from a headache - probably party due to the screaming and kicking child that sat behind me [...]

I just read about Missing-Auctions on Library Stuff.
Every day thousands of items are listed on auction sites around the world containing spelling mistakes such as ‘comuter’, ‘coomputer’ or ‘c0mputer’ instead of ‘computer’. Because these items don’t appear in the regular search results less people bid on them so they sell for a lot less. … [...]

I was just sent a link to the Nelsonville Pulic Library catalog - powered by Koha - and it’s pretty darn - well - pretty
It’s a fresh design and has some neat features like Refine Your Search, Cover Images, Availability (right on the results page), Reviews, and fancy graphics throughout that make it [...]

I leave tomorrow to return to California - this time I’ll be in San Jose at the KMWorld & Intranets conference. I will speaking on Thursday the 2nd about our Project Blogs on the Jenkins Intranet & I’ll be moderating the search track on Weds the 1st. If you’re there, come say hi!

I LOVE IT!! I upgraded while I was away and have had some time to play since then.
My favorite feature? The built in spell checker! I want to make Firefox the default browser on all computers at work so that people stop asking me to figure out how to install a [...]

I didn’t get to attend this session, but I can keep up because Aaron Schmidt has put the presentation online.
The most confusing (and kind of useful) item - the USB heated gloves (on page 17) - at first I couldn’t figure out why I would have my laptop with me while out in the snow. [...]

I am considering using Feed2JS on our intranet (after listening to Meredith & Paul at Internet Librarian) - I’m still going to give it a whirl, but I’ll be more cautious before I use it on any of our sites outside of the firewall after reading this warning from RSS4Lib.
If you run your own copy [...]

Okay - can someone please explain to me why books are not including descriptions on the back anymore?? I was just at Borders and I picked up a few books that looked interesting (yes, I’m judging on covers) and turned them over to find a bunch of reviews - but no description! I’m [...]

I mentioned part one of this series from SolutionWatch a while back - and now there are 3 complete lists.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

librarytwopointzero has a comprehensive comparison of three social cataloging tools: Gurulib, LibraryThing, and Shelfari.
The conclusion?
I think you can see that Librarything is my favourite. I think, in comparison to the other two, Librarything really gives you that extra.

I LOVE IT!! I want one - and will have to find one for myself.

In her Cool Tools presentation at IL2006 Darlene Fichter mentioned Digital Life Aggregators - I haven’t been able to find any of these (mind you I’m not searching very hard) but today I read on TipMonkies about Profilactic.com.
Profilactic can keep track of any social site which provides RSS feeds or unique web addresses to its [...]

I have used a few of the real estate estimate sites (Zillow and Reply) and found that they gave very high estimates for my house. I usually base my house’s value on what others in the neighborhood are sellilng for (and then add a bit since I have a newly finished basement and custom [...]

I just read about PCNames on Sites & Soundbytes.
This is exactly what domain searching should have been all along! PCNames lets you start typing in the domain name you are interested in and will immediately tell you whether it is available or taken. If you click on More Tools, you can also take [...]

This year I was doing double duty as a conference blogger and a MLS student. This means I needed reliable internet access. I was planning on paying for wireless, but as Sarah has pointed out - wireless was insanely priced at $50 a hour or $300 a day!!!! See the screenshot on [...]

Well you know which one I’m using right now - but if you want to read a couple comparisons, try these:

I will eventually install IE7 - I have to if I want to see what my sites [...]

If you’re still unsure of what RSS Aggregator to use, you might want to give CNET’s comparison chart & reviews a look. They offer a comparison chart for Bloglines, Rojo, Google Reader, FeedDemon, and Newsgator Inbox 2.6 for Outlook.

Using JS and RSS Paul & Meredith showed us how to create a dynamic subject page for your library site. The problem with traditional subject pages is that they aren’t updated [...]
