I opened and closed my day by talking to the Children’s Library about their website. It’s a large process — perhaps the most complicated since they post frequently and are very popular with the community. So it is a delicate operation to get their site just right. This means lots of spontaneous meetings to discuss [...]

Today was all about the odds and ends. Most of the strings came in via email or were sent out by me as I checked up on other staff members’ place in projects. Then I made a few new panels including another stab at an animated one in Keynote. I also had to dismantle my [...]

Notable accomplishments this week:

Transitioned the 960 pixel width test theme to the production [...]

I really should not let patrons get me down.

Today I worked three hours with patrons in the computer labs. I sat down for a total of three minutes — just enough time to figure out how to create underlined blank forms in Word, otherwise I was on my feet and leaning over [...]
