2010 Eastern Conference Finals Game 1
When I found out that Public Image Ltd. was touring in the US, I was determined to make one of the shows. We ended up picking the New York show because we knew someone else who was making the trip for that show. For a number of reasons, we dropped our original plan to fly up and stay in a New York hotel for a full week and instead decided to drive up, make some stops on the drive and stay in New Jersey. At first, our plan was to leave on a Friday, drive up to Charleston and stay there for a day before heading back up towards New York.
Schedule Hacking Part Two: Changes

Since I was working quickly, I used the simplest relational database design I could. The main database structure was five tables, Event, EventStaff, Location, Professor and Staff. The Event table held all of the information about a class: class or event name, professor, location, date, time, what equipment or assistance was needed and information about how and when the request was made. The setups were assigned in the EventStaff table, which linked the Event table to the Staff table. In general, two links were made between the tables for each event: one for the setup and one for the pickup.
Schedule Hacking Part One: Building an Audio-Visual Schedule

As a librarian with a website, I don't write about work or libraries very much. I spend a lot more time writing about everything else I do, not because I don't have Big Thoughts on librarianship or because I'm not doing a lot at work, but because most of the time what I do isn't all that interesting.
As a public services librarian in charge of an understaffed, underfunded (aren't they all?) technology department, I spend very little time working on what I would consider "librarian" projects and a lot of time keeping equipment running, training staff, being a manager and generally trying to keep things working.
One of the things I've been working on during final exams is the Audio-Visual Department scheduling system.

I made these short ribs to go with a bottle of Barolo sent to us by my James and Elizabeth at Christmas. I asked what went with it and they said, "something heavy, like braised short ribs." I thought those sounded good, so I made some a couple of Saturdays ago.
