[OT] Printer Service in Chattanooga
May-22, 2013 by: Chad Smith
From: Chad Smith ------------------------------------------------------ The main office of one of my jobs is located in Lookout Valley, and their main workhorse printer is having some issues. Back in the day when I was still local, I nervously did some light maintenance myself on the beast, but am no longer nearby. Do any of you have any suggestions for printer service in the Chattanooga Area? It is an HP LaserJet 5si MX, and it's like 325 years old. When I left the area over 5 years ago, it was teetering on the brink of 1,000,000 pages printed, (or, for those who are more binarily inclined, closing in on the 2^20 mark as well). I am sure it has far passed that milestone. Anyway, any advice, suggestions (even the STAY AWAY FROM X variety) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help! *- Chad W. Smith*

From: Nate Hill ------------------------------------------------------ A friend in California asked if I knew anyone for this job. Maybe someone on the list wants to apply. http://califaproducts.blogspot.com/2013/03/are-you-techy-consultant-whos-into.html Description: The enkiLibrary is a shared open source eBook Network that allows California libraries to own and store purchased and free digital content, to share access to more content than any individual library can purchase on its own, to add features and functionality lacking in current third-party vendor models (e.g., renewing, suspending holds, donating, circulation data transferred to ILS, etc.), and to share access to unique local digitized content with other libraries within the Network. Califa and Contra Costa County Library partnered to co-develop an open source eBook Network, shared by, and accessible to multiple library systems in California. The platform is based on the Douglas County (CO) Libraries model, which utilizes the Adobe Content Server and the open source VuFindPlus, developed at Villanova University. The Quipu Group, a software development company, is developing the initial VuFindPlus interface. Funding for this project is available through a Bay Area Library Information Systems (BALIS) Innovation Grant, LSTA monies, and Califa. This position will be part of the team making enkiLibrary happen through system administration and support of the Adobe Content Server (ACS) and the VuFindPlus open source software, including configuration, maintenance and customization of these two servers. Working Knowledge and Experience with: Open source software for next generation library catalogs and discovery tools. Database administration (MySQL, Oracle, Solr) User-facing web standards/platforms (HTML/XHTML, cross-browser CSS, Javascript, jQuery/AJAX, PHP, mobile web) Search platforms (Apache Solr) Library software applications and protocols (NCIP, SIP, APIs, user authentication, integrated library systems) Web server software -- Nate Hill nathanielhill@gmail.com http://4thfloor.chattlibrary.org/ http://www.natehill.net

He also said they had purchased and are renovating a local bar into a place for the programming team to work. He did not mention if there would still be a working bar. Darn. Seemed like a nice guy, mentioned that although they were primarily a ruby on rails shop (on Linux) they were more interested in "talent" than specifically "ruby on rails" talent. If interested, go check them out in person in N. Chatt where Rock Creek used to be.

Almost all 56 Android mail clients suck. Aqua Mail sucks less than = the rest, but still sucks. 2. Why so goddamned many menu's and choices buried 5 layers deep? 3. The water droplet sound that happens when I swipe my Phone to unlock = it is driving me out of my mind. I can't figure out how to shut it up = (see item 3). 4 There are NO financial/stock market apps for this thing that are worth = a damn. Also see Item 1. 5. The calendar is a POS. Seems to be the same dilemma as item 1. 6. Why do I need an app drawer? iOS definitely got this part right. 7. eBook readers. Also see item 1. Could care less about the kindle app, = don't speak to me about it. On a brighter note: 1. Widgets are cool. 2. I LOVE having a 5.5" screen and a stylus. 3. swappable battery. 4. Micro SD goodness and ease of loading content ;-) Hmm it seems most of my "brighter" items are actually hardware related = and not a plus for Android. I will stick with Android for the foreseeable future, however it is very = LINUX like in the need for constant tweaking and not always working.

Well for a while MongoDB's big selling point was its write speed, which basically came from the fact that it didn't guarantee writes, it just queued stuff up in memory and hopefully got around to writing it at some point. You can see where I'm going here: Why bother with data in the first place? Managing it just slows things down...
