A bleg that’s way too long for Twitter; help me, lazy web! New post: Multiple Calendar Query. http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/blog/multiple-calendar-query/
Replying to @tcarmody
I think the switch happened this year. I haven’t heard anyone say “two thousand twelve” lately. Twenty-twelve, twenty-thirteen.
Well, shoot. I finished the talk, which is meant to be 18 minutes. It is now 13.5 minutes. At least I can revise longer instead of cutting.
Replying to @dandyroll
Pause. Sip water. Boy, that’s a nice image, isn’t it? Sip water. As I was saying...
Okay, it’s now somewhere in the 16.5 minute vicinity. I think I can stick a fork in this talk. On to the rest of the to-do list.
Replying to @GeorgeOnline
Hmm. Would you leave feedback or a query in the alpha testing forum? Thx.
Replying to @GeorgeOnline
Ok. If the query went to our developer, he should respond tomorrow. \(We're closed today\.\)
Replying to @GeorgeOnline
No, I think it's a setting issue. Should be a fairly easy fix.
Replying to @GeorgeOnline
This is on our agenda but we haven’t gotten far with it yet. I’d love it if you’d start a forum discussion about it there.
Replying to @jwolman
Sadly, I will not be there. Next time, I hope! \(Also, I have a DC trip or two coming up\.\)
Replying to @jwolman
Will do!
Replying to @nancybaym
That sounds like the pharma hack. It's at the database level, and affects metadata but not direct content. It's super pernicious.
Replying to @nancybaym
And very hard to get rid of. Google pharmahack - I would up having to rebuild from the ground up to get rid of it.
Replying to @uheise
Congratulations, Ursula! I'm sorry I'm not in SoCal to welcome you.
A spectacular day to arrive back in NYC, after a spectacular trip \(which I hope to be able to write more about very soon\).
PS: If you sent me a message in the last week, I'll try to answer it tomorrow.
Replying to @meganeabbott
Thanks! I hope we can get together soon - I want to hear about your tour!
Replying to @rgfeal
Many thanks; I will need done intervention to get over the jet lag fast! More tales soon.
Replying to @rgfeal
That's divine intervention. Sigh.
Dear beloved cats: As there seems to be some confusion: peeing *on* the litter box is not the same thing as peeing *in* the litter box. xo k
Replying to @Ed_Raso
I'm a "close the lid" person - equal inconvenience for all!
Replying to @amandafrench and @rgfeal
We don’t yet have a timetable, but are working as quickly as we can. More as soon as possible!
There was something I meant to do today… What was it… \(snap\) Oh, right! Eat!
*sigh*

Safe travels, Bethany!
I’ll consider it a big update if the new iTunes stops automatically playing every time I plug in an iOS device connected to my wifi network.
Replying to @academicdave
Hey, good luck with that. \(sigh\)
Replying to @cscannella
There is a switch to prevent iTunes from launching when you plug in a device. But mine doesn’t just launch - it starts playing.+
Replying to @cscannella
Which it’s not supposed to do at all. Makes me crazy. There’s something goofed up in my network, I think.
Replying to @cscannella
Truly. I plug my iPhone into a bedside dock at night \(just plugged into the wall\) & this morning got up to find that +
Replying to @cscannella
my comp had been playing music all night. It was far enough into my library that it had to be caused by plugging in the iPhone.
Replying to @cscannella
I know, right? I’ve looked everywhere and have seen no evidence that anyone but me has this issue. I’m taking it personally.
Okay, Twitters, I need opinions: Flickr vs Picasa. Go.
Replying to @boone
When I moved to NY for grad school I was horrified to discover that “regular” meant milk & sugar, rather than ALL THE CAFFEINE, THX.
Replying to @jwolman
I let my Flickr Pro account go a while back, but have a set of photos I want to share with a few folks. Hey, maybe G+ will do.
Replying to @jwolman
Makes sense. I’ll give it a try and see how it feels.
Replying to @academicdave and @boone
Srsly. The other is hot coffee ice cream. A totally different thing.
Replying to @savasavasava
Ah, I need a little more controlled access, at least at first. Still pondering the best balance!
Replying to @sherah1918
So far, that’s three votes for Flickr, but the tide is running heavily against coffee with milk. :)
Replying to @GeorgeOnline
Reasons?
Replying to @GeorgeOnline
Okay, that’s helpful, thanks. Votes thus far are running 4-to-1 in Flickr’s favor, but my sample may be a bit skewed.
Replying to @GeorgeOnline
Yeah, & G+ has pretty finely-tuned privacy/sharing settings. Not sure it’s as CC-friendly as Flickr, tho. Will keep pondering.
Replying to @jcmeloni
I’m not surprised you’re not a Picasa user, except for its Google integration...
Replying to @JenHoward
Tricky indeed. I haven’t been good at striking a balance between the cool stuff I’m asked to do and the big picture things.
Replying to @JenHoward
Also, thanks for the link!
Replying to @samplereality
That’s interesting. Last time I looked at the Mac Picasa client it rubbed me totally the wrong way. Can’t remember why.
Replying to @jcmeloni
Heh.
Replying to @john_overholt
Good to know - thanks!
Replying to @JenHoward
Absolutely. Especially when the group effort is not just urgent but important, too.
Go, @unsworth! http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/09/12/president-obama-announces-more-key-administration-posts

That’s a very good point. Thanks!
Replying to @timlockridge
Ooh, interesting. I’ll have to poke around there.
New blog post: The Shape of Thought. http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/blog/the-shape-of-thought/
Replying to @readywriting
It is indeed. We’re progressively trained to write articles & books from the youngest age; it’s hard to imagine other shapes.
Replying to @literarychica
Thank you so much!

Doug, you can only make this decision for yourself, of course, but there are two key things to know: +

Replying to @dougreside and @LLCjournal
\(2\) the ADHO pubs cte will be working on initiatives related to open access over the course of this year.
Replying to @dougreside and @LLCjournal
\(Constituent orbs, that is\. Sigh\.\)
Replying to @dougreside and @LLCjournal
\(ORGs\! Stupid autocorrect\.\)
Replying to @dougreside
I hear you; the pubs committee will certainly be talking about that.
Replying to @dougreside
It’s a tough decision, but I hope that you will support the orgs, and help us figure out how to improve our policies.
Replying to @micahvandegrift
A great list! I would add http://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/library-babel-fish from @bfister, certainly. I’ll keep pondering.
The first crowd-funded ebook release from unglue.it, Oral Literature in Africa, is now up at Open Book Publishers! http://www.openbookpublishers.com/product/97/oral-literature-in-africa/d44bfd60764217b43c6a31d769e0a6a9
After two nights in a row of next to no sleep, having gotten 9 hours last night feels positively DREAMY. They were the right 9 hours, too!
Finally beginning to feel as though I’m on something approaching the right time zone.

Replying to @LibSkrat
The Humanities in and for the Digital Age. Will you be at DLF in Nov?
Replying to @LibSkrat
I am, indeed. You may hear a very similar talk then. :)
Replying to @LibSkrat
Of course, that we will finally be in the same room may bring on the singularity. But I guess that’s a risk we’ll have to take.
Absolutely thrilled to announce that I’ll be keynoting the DLF Forum in November! http://www.diglib.org/archives/3642/

Hey, thanks! That’s a whole lot of MLA Bibliographies behind me, which I just love.

New blog post \(and a plea to myself\): Slow. Down. http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/blog/slow-down/
Replying to @plragde
Sigh. I think it’s the mixed blessing of living on an academic calendar; three months seems like a long time, until it’s not.
Replying to @atrubek
As a prof in grad school advised a friend of mine whose first baby had just been born, "don't buy into the culture of need."
Replying to @atrubek
Ah, crud. Blew the quote. It was "economy of need."

@wynkenhimself It made it all the worse when they renamed the Bullets, because *that* was apparently presenting a bad image of the city.
