I also worked on creating embedded registration forms on the website for this fall’s adult technology classes (signups are next week!). Below is a quick summary of the process which involved using the library’s Google Docs account to create a form using the plain theme. I had to tweak the questions several times till I [...]
The highlight/fright of the day was the 5.9 earthquake near Mineral, Virginia. No injuries and no major damage has been reported. My adventure began with me being on lunch in the break room. One coworker was standing in the doorway, trying to leave the room, but the other coworker distracted her by asking a question. [...]
I’m doing some research today on how to theme a view in Drupal. Since I went through all the work of collecting these resources, I thought I would share them with you.

Today was a bizarre day. I started it off by working through the Turning the Page 2.0 week two module and attending the class (until the connection made the instructor sound like a rewinding video tape). Then I remembered that I had forgot to get the tech center schedule up on the website as [...]
I left work early on Friday. However, I first covered the computer lab desk for two hours which during that time I had to set up the teaching classroom for a fake class session. The foundation which donated the money for that room needed to take some shots for a promotional video. I got pulled [...]
If you saw my previous post, you saw that I had a conversation about NCSU’s Digital Media Lab. It was a brilliant and honest conversation as I learned about the hard work managing such a space. I had visited NCSU’s Libraries last year as a student, so it was a treat speaking to a [...]
I spoke with Keith Morgan about North Carolina State University’s Digital Media Lab. Here are some tidbits that I took away from our conversation that he gave me permission to share:
Computer Recommends one computer in a room so people are not dueling for silence Dual boot Mac should be fine Lighting Put non-fluorescent [...]
Hey, a post I wrote over a month ago!
I’m mostly posting so I can have the experience of blogging while on the go. I’m using swype for my keyboard input. I’m on lunch at my first day at Darien Library.
Startling thing was hearing for the first times that I’m a salaried employee.I [...]
I’m so well-trained from retail that I can’t take a day off work unless I’m crawling on my belly. On the other hand, I managed to make some progress at work:
Realized that I couldn’t teach a class on PhotoStory 3 because our patrons need job help more than a silly video workshop. Learned [...]
Whatever happened today is hard to process because of being ill. I remember something about discovering these awesome video tutorials about the Rules module. I tried to build a rule for another project of mine and failed. Also had a short phone conversation with a lady to talk about her library’s lending policies. I [...]
