rdhyee NewsRandom and not so random thoughts from Raymond Yee, mostly relevant to the IUDo you know the way to Corvallis- February 14, 2006 I'm at the Oakland airport, waiting to board a 3:33 flight to Portland, on my way to the Code4Lib conference in Corvallis, OR. I'll be talking on Thursday about Teaching the Library and Information Community How to Remix Information. Because there is no free WiFi at the airport, I'm logged in via my cellphone. The last days have been super busy, leaving unable to channel myself to cyberspace. Here I am, though, getting my bloggingwikiing fix.http://raymondyee.net/wiki/DailyNotes_2f2006_2f02_2f14#head-57b0e95d53f1b613caf83be1b35f73... I paid money for PHP Hacks- February 9, 2006 I bought a copy of PHP Hacks : Tips & Tools For Creating Dynamic Websites (Hacks) even though as a UC Berkeley person, I have access to an electronic version of the entire book online at safari.oreilly.com.

Notelets for 2006.02.06 (Dinner with Dave Winer)- February 7, 2006 I hope to hear today whether my proposal to ALA ACRLCNIEDUCAUSE Joint Virtual Conference was accepted. Notices are supposed to be issued today. I wonder whether that means only acceptance notices. Laura and I plan to join in on Dave Winer's Berkeley Blogger's Dinner. Anyone else: Reminder: The second Berkeley Blogger's Dinner is Thursday at 7PM. We have room for lots more people this time. If you're going to be there, please post a note, let the networking begin now. You don't have to be a...http://raymondyee.net/wiki/DailyNotes_2f2006_2f02_2f07#head-00040bab8a787438c2c0cf5248ac02... Documenting the Scholar's Box code- February 4, 2006 I have printed out all the code for the Scholar's Box and sitting here writing documentation to future users and developers of the Scholar's Box but also take stock of where we are and we need to go. There's a lot of logic to be understood, documented, and highlighted. Tom Schirmer has built some real nuggets: a responsive GUI derived from the threading of time-consuming tasks a drag and drop system among collections metadata conversions among items coming from a variety of sources a...http://raymondyee.net/wiki/DailyNotes_2f2006_2f02_2f03#head-00040bab8a787438c2c0cf5248ac02... |
