Re: [CODE4LIB] opening a pdf file

Eric, Downloaded, but the default pdf viewer (QuickOffice on my android phone) just shows me pages with a big red X. I downloaded the Adobe Reader app and now i can see the content, but it does not look anything like the image I see in my pc's browser. Garbled / washed out, though each page

Re: [CODE4LIB] Domain lookup madness

It's setting the timeout I upped it to ten and it still failed, but when I dropped the "-m 3" it does return the same as the browser. So it's just real slow, that's all. Chad Nelson Web Services Programmer University Library Georgia State University e: cnelso...@gsu.edu t: 404 413 2771 My Cal

Re: [CODE4LIB] Availability of data-enabled temporary SIM cards

Kåre, According to this website, there are several options. http://prepaidwithdata.wikia.com/wiki/USA However, when I moved to the States (from UK) with my Android phone, everywhere I went they told me I had to buy the phone from them to use with the SIM. The pay as you go plans are pretty clo

Re: [CODE4LIB] Linux Laptop

After many kind of frustrating attempts, I got Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop (32 bit) running on my Lenovo Thinkpad T500 (Laptop). Biggest barrier was getting display working right because the laptop came with an Nvidia graphics card not supported by default. Even after installing the "not free" drivers,

I tried to add these to the wiki, but I HATE WIKI SYNTAX! So, I put them up here: http://lenny1.gsu.edu:82/c4ltees/ However, this will not be around forever as it is a dev box. If someone with access to the code4lib website wants to just steal the html, please do or if you want the really

Re: [CODE4LIB] Author authority records to create publication feed?

You could run an Eprints instance (or, I assume, some other Institutional Repository software), which can output a list of the publications from an individual author as an rss feed. Not too much custom work required, if I remember correctly, though it has been a while.

Re: [CODE4LIB] whimsical homepage idea

Ellen, Sounds fun. I'd start with an Arduino + temperature sensor http://www.ladyada.net/learn/sensors/tmp36.html You'd need other kit to get it to a webserver, which this video covers nicely. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A7coLAUyfQ&feature=player_embedded Chad Nelson Web Services Programm

Re: [CODE4LIB] Academic libraries - Will dev for pay models?

I think that a kind of inverted freemium model would most closely align with the librarian ethos. Instead of having a small number of services available for free and a larger number once a customer pays, libraries would offer the majority of services for free (as we are already funded for this b

Re: [CODE4LIB] Putting several small databases online.

Hi Paul, If you're comfortable with php, which it sounds like you are, I'd recommend the cakephp framework. It's lightweight and fairly easy to get started with. The Tutorial provides a nice introduction to getting started and quickly building a simple CRUD app like you are talking about. It
