Koha Assignment

The site that was down yesterday that I needed to use for my assignment is back up today. (came up around 11 AM today - while I was at work)
So here's the link I need to post for that assignment - it will probably only work for classmates and professors... (requires a login)

I really appreciated having the opportunity to play around with an open source ILS. It's something I've wondered about - the cost effectiveness, the ease of use, the customizability of it... Koha was pretty straightforward in this iteration. Definitely worth thinking about for future migrations...

Blogging

I've been playing with my blog tonight, trying to add the picture at the top right and get it just right. The picture is one of the doilies I've tatted, and the hands are my niece's. She asked me to tat that particular pattern for her in that particular color. (I think she was three at the time...) I wanted to make sure I got some tatting onto my blog.
While I started this blog as a class assignment for the summer, I suspect I'm becoming hooked on blogging. I'm not sure I understood the appeal before I started doing it - I'm a relatively private person and couldn't understand why I would want to journal online. Now though I think it's an opportunity to share thoughts with others. It gives me the chance to philosophize without bugging people - if a post bores you, you can always skip it, and I'll never know the difference. I may just keep this up even after class is over. Especially since I've always wanted to write - this will help me keep in practice.

Blogging

Blogging is a new experience, and I find I'm very much learning Blogger's interface. I've been having difficulty with the font choice and found that I forgot to label my first two posts. The only way I found to save it when I was done tagging them was to publish them again - unfortunately, that caused them to be sent through the RSS feed again. I'll figure it all out eventually...
