Yesterday, my day was dominated by a very important meeting which I can’t discuss on here. The first two hours of my day were spent setting up equipment for various groups, checking my email, then prepping for the meeting. I then marched up stairs and sat anxiously at the meeting taking notes. I sat across [...]
I came home and fell asleep almost immediately yesterday so no post. Today I’m blogging from my phone so short summaries.
Tuesday
In the computer lab answering emails and patron questions for four hours, lunch, downloading Apple Remote Desktop, trying to clean up a digital signage default screens only to realize that the players [...]
I was asked to write about my first conference experience for my graduate program’s student association. I stuck to ALA’s annual meeting since that is the BIG conference. I was given a two paragraph limit, so I tried to be informal/real and directed them to a more formal write-up that I did for Hack [...]
I was off for only two days but came in to find my email crammed to the brim. I replied to a few before I went to the monthly luncheon with the new full-timers/recent grads. At our luncheon we discussed professional involvement, internal training programs, conferences, and schedules. We added a splash of squeeing over [...]
I have a Nook Color–which is amazing! This weekend I decided to listen to an audiobook while sewing and since we lack portable CD players in my house, a downloadable audiobook is just what circumstances ordered. I have been making my way through a physical copy of The Night Circus so I logged in [...]
On Friday I finally had some time away from the computer labs so I was able to teach myself Screenflow, a Mac screen recording program, so I could produce the Kindle+OverDrive screencast. Camtasia is a far more intuitive program but is three times the price of Screenflow. Both programs have poor transition [...]
Today I started studying Unix commands so I could go in and change the permissions of a CSS file so I could take command of it. It’s not as bad as I thought it’d be but the instructor goes fast. I looked up the videos after finding MacVim to be less documented. As well as [...]
OverDrive launched the ability for patrons to check out OverDrive library books on their Kindles today. Word flew fast on Twitter which I was absently monitoring while doing other tasks at work. A few hours after the initial tweets I noticed that my library’s OverDrive ebook collection had indeed been Kindlized. As soon I had [...]
Today was my second time recommending books to patrons. The crowd that comes is 100% female and usually higher up in the age bracket. I presented Cleopatra: A Life last time to abysmal results. So, this time I decided to go all out and present books I enjoy regardless of the fact that they are [...]
(I’m just making up titles at this point)
I missed saying goodbye to my coworker since I came in late for the closing shift. She sent me one last email where she wrote that she knows I hate goodbyes, so instead she was just writing “Good morning.” Cue me running over to her corner office [...]
