Re: [CODE4LIB] Windows 7 Logon Screen Screensaver
You can set Windows 7 to have a screensaver that is just a slideshow of pictures tossed in a certain directory. Likely the easiest approach is to make all those service ads into images, stick them in a directory on each machine and then tweak your machine to use that directory for its screensaver and keep the monitor on for the desired amount of time via power settings. You can also use that same directory to show custom desktop backgrounds that change ever X minutes and pop the ads up there.

On our Windows XP Pro student use computers, we have a custom screensaver app that runs at the logon screen and displays graphics highlighting library services and programs. As we migrate to Windows 7, new security introduced by Microsoft limits access to custom applications when the logon screen is displayed, and we haven't figured out how to push the screensaver to the machine. For obvious reasons we need to move to Windows 7. Does anyone have a solution that pushes a custom screensaver to the Windows 7 logon screen? Thanks. Brad Faust Ball State University Libraries\
Re: [CODE4LIB] separate list for jobs
How do you manage to filter out those who feel their job is worthy of cross posting without using jobs@code4lib I've yet to get around to making a smarter filter to deal with those.

Re: [CODE4LIB] A ticketing system for internal troubleshooting purpose
For a simple ticketing system, Jira can be very heavy and feel bloated for its purpose. However it is also worth considering what you might be using your ticketing system for in the future. I've seen examples where Jira started off as a simple internal tool. Then someone decided Hey lets hook it up so the 'Contact Us' feedback form goes directly into Jira., then something else, and so on and so forth. The Jira/Confluence ecosystem is robust and you can add on features easily. If this is the kind of thing that could grow you on, better to underutilize something than change ticket trackers in two years because you really want X, but your current minimalist product can't do it.

Since it¹s web-based, we can easily access our information anywhere, which is great when it comes to the content we store in Confluence. The package is quite flexible and I¹m finding that the more we use it, the more we learn. I would recommend both tools.

We need it to be web-based, and staff can attach screenshots when they report an issue, and we can run reports to get the usage statistics. We also want to use it as a reference question knowledge base in the future if the system is flexible for us to customize. For example, users can send us questions and we can keep track of what kind of questions we get, who is working on it, etc. It could be an open source or commercial tool. Does anyone know of something which is good to use? Thanks.
