Wednesday, July 21st, 2010- I haven't read blogs regularly in years. I wonder if I would if I had an iPad with The Early Edition? http://bit.ly/dvhpXx #
Community College Libraries
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010As I have mentioned on here, I have been taking a few classes at the local community college. One of the unexpected benefits of being enrolled as a student is that I have access to the community college library. The physical library itself is fine, but what’s really cool is that I have online access from home to all manner of databases, full text news articles, academic journals, even LexisNexis.
To subscribe to all of these services individually would be far more than the cost of taking a single class. It’s a great benefit even though I don’t really have the time or inclination to do much independent research. Maybe I’ll start?

Thursday, July 15th, 2010Trying out MarsEdit
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010Last week I wrote that I was trying out MacJournal as an authoring tool. While I liked MacJournal for offline private journaling, it didn’t really work for updating this site. I’ve downloaded MarsEdit version 3.0.3 to see if it fits my needs better. So far it does.
The MarsEdit screen is automatically divided into a top and bottom section to compose items before and after the “cut”. It reminds me of years ago when I used the Clarify CRM software which had a top/bottom split window for public and internal case comments. It’s a good design.
I haven’t figured out a way to embed YouTube videos using the rich text editor but I can switch to the HTML edit view to post an embed tag. I’d like a little more native support for such a popular video sharing support, but I can live with it.
MarsEdit does have good support for posting draft versions, categories, and tags. I think it will work well for me as an offline composer.

Digest: June 28, 2010
Monday, June 28th, 2010I always intend to update this web site more frequently, but for short updates I tend to just post on Twitter or Facebook. And for longer updates I often start writing something and then get side tracked. So I’m going to try something different and start posting a periodic, perhaps weekly, digest.
