Personal news

One of the new things I’m going to be getting into this year is an involvement with a non-profit organization called Friends of the Columbus Library. They do a lot of fundraising and volunteer coordination for the Columbus Metro Library System and their Board this year has been looking for more direct involvement with people who can help steer their use of technology. Tonight was supposed to be the Board Meeting where I, and some others, were to be officially elected to the Board of Trustees, but a death in the family of the Board President caused that meeting to be canceled. So I’ll have to wait until next month to learn more about what, exactly, I’ll be involved with and to have more to say about that.

As it turns out though, not having to attend that meeting tonight turned out to be ok, since there’s been a death in our family as well. Angela’s grandfather passed away last night, and we are booked on a early morning flight down to Louisiana tomorrow, so it looks like we’ll be offline and otherwise occupied for the next few days. I’ll catch up with the online world again starting Monday.

    This is actually a pretty good idea. Allow people to claim their feeds on Bloglines and when the time comes to move the feed to another location, you can change the feed on Bloglines and they’ll automatically point all the subscribers to the new feed. That’s not bad. Tags: Bloglines Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    Reading Medley I noticed an interesting quote from LWN. So what do you think? In light of the fact that you can use a Sharpie to circumvent copy-protection, when should we expect the RIAA to sue marker companies under the DMCA. It will be interesting to see if this develops any further or if they…

    But then again, the downside to the three day weekend is that it takes a day just to get back in the groove in the office! I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing or what I’m supposed to be doing! 🙂 Follow these topics: Uncategorized
