Re: [CODE4LIB] looking for free hosting for html code
SDF.ORG offers teachers and students accounts - Allows staff, volunteer or adjunct at an accredited college or K-12 to self-manage a virtual UNIX classroom. A prospective instructor should provide SDF with details regarding their class (such as a syllabus or lesson plan). Students create their own accounts and are then validated by the instructor. The ATutor CMS is also available for classes. Further details are available in the FAQ. Giles W. Riesner, Jr., Lead Library Technician, Library Technology Community College of Baltimore County 800 S.

I've been using this one successfully: http://editra.org/download on my Mac at work running OS 10.5.8. I plan to teach coding to my 6th and 12th grade students next school year and our lab has a mixture of old (2008) and new Macs (2015) so I want to make all the Macs functional for writing code in an editor. My next question is this: I am familiar with free Web creation and hosting sites like Weebly, Wix, Google sites, Wikispaces, WordPress, and Blogger, but do you know of any free hosting sites that will allow you to plug in your own code. i.e. host your own html files? I had my students create wikis and blogs this year as a place for them to put their projects and writing. I linked to all my students' work from my own blog: http://pascrs2014.blogspot.com and you will see if you click on one of them, for example this one: http://ajb96crs.wikispaces.com/New+TChart from my blog, I can link to all of my students' work. For next year, I want my students to create original sites for their original content that I can link to from a single location, e.g. a blog I create. If all students are creating files with code with no place to host their files, then I wouldn't be able to do this. So I am looking for a site that will host html files for free. I hope this is clear. Many thanks for your input!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Windows 7 Logon Screen Screensaver
FWIW, our IT folks have customized the logon screen on our Public PCs so that while it still says to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to login, above and below that is customized info: a welcome to the College and info on where to get guest passes if you're not part of the College community (Faculty Staff, Retirees, Students, Alumni), etc. but it is a static screen. They do have an image or two incorporated into it as well. If that's not what you're after, the ideas already presented about screensavers sound on the money to me. Regards, Giles W.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Barcode scanner
Riley, Basically ANY barcode scanner would work for you. Barcode scanners simply read in data as though it was typed in from a keyboard. What matters is that you have the symbologies you need enabled. Library barcodes tend to be Codabar (which is not always enabled by default), while stores often use UPC/EAN (which is usually enabled). And the barcodes for our students and staff at the College are in Code 128. If you can attach the barcode reader to a laptop and scan the barcodes into a blank text file, then it's enabled. If you grab a copy of the manual for the barcode reader you can see how to program in any prefixes or suffixes you need and more - things like being able to tell which symbology is being used. If all you're doing is scanning in barcode numbers to say that this piece of equipment is here, you don't even need a special program, just a text file that can be imported into Excel. We do something similar and upload data to our library system to update the inventory of our collection at the various Branches. There are indeed apps for Android and IOS devices that might enable you to use a phone to do it too. Just my .02 worth. Regards, Giles W.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Getting The Call Number In bib_display.html On III System
Kyle's suggestion to try the III listserv is a good one. Trying to use III's
tokens within a script I would
figure is challenging at best given their proprietary nature.and their quirks
-- not the least of which are that
when used on a web page the token must be on a line by itself and must start
in column 1.
My best guess is that if your statement were to work at all it would probably
have to be formatted in 3 separate lines
similar to this:
a href=http://testingserver.cwu.edu/myapp.php?callnum=
http://testingserver.cwu.edu/myapp.php?callnum=
!--{itemcallno}--
TEST-LINK/a
and even then it might not work the code is not on the III server.
Lots of luck trying.

Hello folks,
I'm trying to figure out the III web dev interface in the Millenium java
client. What a clunky, rinky-dink interface, IMHO! :)
I want to be able to display an item's call number in bib_display.html so I can
feed it to a php script on another web server. It was suggested to me that the
token for that was:
!--{itemcallno}--
I tried that on our staging site, but it does not display anything.
Specifically, I put in:
a
href=http://testingserver.cwu.edu/myapp.php?callnum=!--{itemcallno}--TEST-LINK/a
The link with text TEST-LINK displayed, but the callnum parameter wasn't
added.
Can anyone point this guy in the right direction?

Re: [CODE4LIB] Free covers from Google
Given this latest information, I'd be rather hesitant to even try using Google's images as our network traffic is all NAT'ed and all student traffic from a campus goes out one ONE NAT address and ALL staff traffic on another (in our case x.x.x.204 and x.x.x.205). We currently use Amazon's images with a link back to them and have no problem with this. Giles W.

Google will see individual requests from individual IP addresses from everybody viewing your page. For each IP address from which it sees requests it'll decide whether to block or not. It'll block if it thinks you're harvesting their data. Wageningen University owns the 137.224/16 network, so I find it doubtful that you're all sharing the same IP address. It's probably just your desktop IP address (or, if you're behind a NAT device, the address used by that device - but that's probably only a small group of computers.) That makes it even more concerning that Google's defenses could be triggered by your development and testing activities. Do complain about it to them. (I doubt they change their logic, but you can try.) I've received the CAPTCHA from Google in the past a few times if I use it as a calculator. Enter more than a dozen or so expressions, and it thinks I'm a computer who needs help from Google to compute simple things such as english-to-metric conversions. I think that's a huge drawback, actually. How does Amazon's image service work?
