LAUREL

Laurel (my wife) said to me the other day “You need to do a blog entry about
me”. So here it is. Laurel is an artist, she works at TLC, her coworkers are
slightly mental but thoroughly nice people all the same.
Sometimes they race chairs.
When Laurel isnt at work, she likes to spend time with our pets and read books and stuff.

The quest for faster circulations.

Talking with Joshua the other day got me thinking .. now circulation in the
web browser works fine for a low to medium volume. But when you start
returning/issuing a lot of books, the overhead of fetching the html, and the
browser rendering it becomes very apparent.
So I thought back to the original circulation, which was curses based, and
how fast that was, and decided to start on a TK implementation. Mostly just
as a proof of concept.
So at 10am Sunday morning I sat down to start, and its 12.29 now and I have
a system that will issue books for Koha. Lots to be done still .. but its
pretty simple so I think this might be a goer. Ive put up screenshots so
feel free to take a look.
Comments/Suggestions are more than welcome.
And now im going to play world of warcraft.

Supersize me, and Spellbound

These we 2 of the DVDs we got from fatso and they were both good in their own
ways.
Supersize Me, as you are probably all aware of, is the story of a guy who
decided to eat McDonalds for a month. It was entirely predictable, although
suprisingly not by his doctors. Good for a watch .. a little to michael
moore/self serving for my liking.

Spellbound is another look at American culture, focusing on 8 kids and their
journey to the National Spelling Bee. Its compelling watching, you feel sad
for some kids, laugh with others and bemoan the parents of most. Well worth
a look.
