They're done by having someone speaking into a voice-recognition
system tuned to their voice while they're watching and listening to
the broadcast.  A sort of simultaneous interpreting but to/from almost
the same language.  Read more about it at

Re: [CODE4LIB] Editing Code4lib Wiki

2013-02-07 Thread LeVan,Ralph

We've had a similar, possibly related, problem with the code4lib list in the 
past.  Perhaps the same problem occurs with the wiki email.

The issue occurs when an email is sent out to a person, claiming to be from 
that person.  Postini sees that and interprets it as an attempt to spoof email 
headers and rejects the email.  There is no sign of the email in the persons 
folders. (There is a more general case of postini seeing email for someone in a 
company claiming to be from that company and it again rejects the email.  That 
was our code4lib problem where messages from anyone else at OCLC failed to 
reach the rest of the OCLC subscribers.  Worse yet, the mailing list manager 
counts those rejections and would unsubscribe us after some number of 
rejections was reached.)

Just a thought.  Emails disappearing completely is unusual.

Ralph

[CODE4LIB] library date parsing

2013-02-07 Thread Kevin S. Clarke

I have an idea stuck in my memory that OCLC wrote a Java-based date
parsing library long ago (that parses all the library world's strange
date formats).  My search-fu seems to be weak, though, because I don't
seem to be able to Google/find it.  Was it just a crazy dream or does
anyone know what I'm talking about (and how to find it)?

Thanks,
Kevin

[CODE4LIB] Avanti Nova 0.2

2013-02-07 Thread Peter Schlumpf

After a long hiatus I am back to working on the Avanti project again.  I am 
developing the Nova semantic mapping system, which is essentially a scripting 
language and Java API interfacing a database used to store and manage generic 
linked data.  I have just released version 0.2 which is complete rewrite of 
version 0.1.  Version 0.1 tried to be too many things at a low level (and is 
actually more advanced than 0.2).  0.2 implements only the essential concepts 
of the Nova system.  Although a small demo, 0.2 is the real starting point to 
what I hope to develop into a production software component used in a real 
application.  Download and documentation is up on the project web site:  
http://www.avantilibrarysystems.com

This time I plan to really stick around awhile with this project, and I will 
share my progress with the code4lib community from time to time.

Oops, seems I was misremembering the source.  It was CDL, not OCLC.
Problem solved.

Re: [CODE4LIB] library date parsing

2013-02-07 Thread Bill Dueber

Speaking of which...does any have robust code for getting the date of
publication out of a MARC record, correcting for (or ignoring or otherwise
dealing with) stuff in the fixed fields, dates on other calendars, dates
that are far enough in the future that they must be a mistake, etc.?

Re: [CODE4LIB] Editing Code4lib Wiki

2013-02-07 Thread Alisak Sanavongsay

I quick look at the mail logs on the server where wiki.code4lib.org is hosted 
should be able to confirm if mail has been sent to those addresses in question. 
If the mail is leaving from the wiki.code4lib.org server, then it's up to the 
recipients to check with their mail server admins to see if the messages are 
being silently discarded as spam.

Alisak.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Editing Code4lib Wiki

2013-02-07 Thread Shaun Ellis


Ryan,
Have you checked the mailserver logs?  That might tell you if certain 
ISPs are rejecting the messages, and may give a reason.


Sometimes ISPs will reject a message if the sender's domain doesn't 
match the domain it's coming from.  You can set up your mail server to 
authenticate with and use Gmail's SMTP servers to send mail.  This 
"how-to" gives an example of how to do it with msmtp:

For now, I've disabled email confirmation on the wiki. This won't help if you 
need to reset your password (so still email me your account info and I can take 
care of it) but should let others get started easier. Also you can try a new 
account with a different email address, such as Gmail.

Hope this helps.

[CODE4LIB] Stand Up Desks

2013-02-07 Thread Mark Pernotto

Despite my best efforts of sitting up straight, getting an ergonomic chair,
making sure my desk is a proper height (I'm a tall guy, so my desk is
'modified' to reflect this), and I make sure I stand up and at least
stretch every 30 minutes (or so), my back still bothers me some days.

I saw a Wired article a few months back hailing the benefits of stand up
desks (http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/10/mf-standing-desk/), and
also found an article in NY Times (
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/02/business/stand-up-desks-gaining-favor-in-the-workplace.html?_r=1&;)
and wondered if there were any other developers/list members who used them.
 In my mind, I'm trading one problem for another, and I'm not sure I want
to be standing up all day long.  On the other hand, my back is killing me
today.

Suggestions?

Mark

I use a stand-up desk (actually I have two - one is just a drafting
table). Right now I'm working on this one[1] which is billed as a laptop
stand and is adjustable so I can stand or sit. I use it with a regular
desk, which is where my screens sit. They also have whole desks that go
up and down, but those are pretty expensive. I like standing to work,
but after many hours it also can lead to back pain. Being able to
alternate sitting and standing is great. I also find that there are some
tasks that are sitting tasks (reading, thinking) and some that are
standing tasks (writing).
