Karen Coombs and Meredith Farkas have agreed to serve on the LITA Top Technology Trends panel. Finally, I’m no longer going to be the lone woman on the dais! I also expect that Karen and Meredith will bring new perspectives to the discussion. This is not to diss the wonderful long-distance contributions of “Librarian in […]
Reminder to feed subscribers: the new feeds are here… I would recommend subscribing to rss or rss2, and the comment feed: https://freerangelibrarian.com/comments/feed [comments] https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/rss/ https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/rss2/ https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/rdf/ https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/atom/ You can find almost as many opinions of Dreamhost as there are users, but for the four years I’ve used them, they’ve been fine. Once in a while […]
I am trying to get the old feed files to point to the new files…it worked fine in test, but in real life… well, let’s just say the 404 traffic is brisk. Anyway, if you’d rather unsub and resub, just use these files (rss2 for most of you, atom for Walter :g:): https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/ https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/rss/ https://freerangelibrarian.com/feed/rss2/ […]
I’m reinstalling Free Range Librarian into WordPress blogging software–at long last! Here’s a partial repost of what I said earlier today: Sometime today or tomorrow (the weekend of April 28/29, 2007), this blog, Free Range Librarian, will disappear, then… hopefully… reappear. Subscribers, note that I am going to do everything possible to redirect the feeds […]
Sometime today or tomorrow (the weekend of April 28/29, 2007), this blog, Free Range Librarian, will disappear, then… hopefully… reappear. Subscribers, note that I am going to do everything possible to redirect the feeds to the new feed URLs (which, WordPress-style, will be two feeds, one for posts and one for comments… though I’d like […]
David Weinberger’s "Everything is Miscellaneous" Originally uploaded by freerangelibrarian. This just arrived at 5 p.m. today, a few hours after I was on Open Source Radio providing librarian color (alongside Tim Spalding, who provided… thingology color?) for an interview with David Weinberger. I probably wasn’t that interesting, since I agree with David on many points, […]
At last Originally uploaded by freerangelibrarian. We look for signs everywhere, seeking confirmation from simple things of our hopes and plans. Late last November I ordered a pair of brown shoes, size 5M. Nothing fancy, just nice shoes for dress slacks, comfortably padded. I mail-order almost all my shoes, and that’s not just a Tallahassee […]
Roy Tennant is crazy… like a fox. Libraryland’s mega-star is headed to The Big O, where if there is any justice he will soon be doing PowerPoint shows demonstrating all the ways WorldCat needs to be fixed, and instead of getting appeasing little emails from inside the Big O about all they plan to do […]
That title is my homage to Alanis Morisette, who did right by all women when she parodied The Black-Eyed Peas’ annoying song where Fergie bleats in double-time about her “lumps,” “humps,” and “trunks,” and patters through such deathless prose as “Watcha gonna do with all them ass/All them ass inside them jeans.” This morning I […]
The blog upgrade proceeds apace. I won’t show you the staging blog, as I plan to kill it tonight, but after much grinding and thinking, WordPress imported all 1100+ entries and bazillion comments, and pointed correctly to images and other media. Most delightfully, WordPress only imported published comments, leaving behind thousands of bits of junk. […]
