Blogging and Browsers

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

My new job hosts internal blogs (via SharePoint), so I've been blogging there some, and expect that to continue to take up some of my blogging energy (as I come up to speed on various matters).  I expect my ConFigures readers will have a better time keeping track of me ...

Feeding Better

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

The LJ feed problems appear to have been fixed by my deactivating the Bookmarkify plugin for ConFigures.  Although it looked ok here, I noticed it was a BIG graph at the bottom of the display per entry in Google Reader.  After turning it off, the entries are showing up in ...

Feed Tinkering

Monday, April 7th, 2008

I know about 6 people are reading my ConFigures blog through the syndicated feed on LiveJournal.  However, I just noticed today that the syndication hasn't picked up my last few entries, and it said the last time it checked, it (the last entry?) was "too big".  I'm not sure if ...

Not the LibraryThing I signed up for

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

I started using LibraryThing because I liked its tagging power (for browsing and searching). I also liked its less-commercial book pages, fondness for and willingness to work with libraries, and above-average books reviews from LT members, and book-based discussions (easy to find and see updates on discussions of ...

Unclear on the Concept?

Friday, October 12th, 2007

I renewed a couple of library books online today, and discovered that my county library system is starting to get into social software more: an anonymous (not just pseudonymous) no-comments  librarian blog (sigh), and RSS. I think it's nifty that one can subscribe to feeds of ...

Entry Rate

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I've been writing a lot here lately, working up to the previous entry about Penguicon.  Whew!  I'm probably going to drop back to a couple of entries a week for the most part, now that's done.  I'm not sure how much it matters if the days are pre-set (e.g., Mondays and Thursdays?) ...

Tags, Personal Information Management, and Beyond

Monday, March 5th, 2007

I tend to be more interested in topics that don't fit neatly into one category: interdisciplinary, multi-faceted matters.  This is why I was so happy when I discovered tags (and social bookmarking, serendipitously) -- a.k.a. "labels" in Gmail.   I like the way tagging helps me organize and recall information I've come across on the ...

Libraries and Knowledge Management

Monday, February 12th, 2007

While attempting to hunt up free web presentation software options for a friend (anyone know of any?), I came across the article Participatory Networks: The Library as Conversation. Claim: Knowledge is created through conversation (which can take place over time). Libraries can provide a service by facilitating conversations. Gives examples ...
