Daily Thoughts 8/5/2010
I am looking at Pligg which is an open source system for building social networks. It looks quite interesting. You would probably need a fairly skillful technical person to implement it. http://www.pligg.com/ It reminds me a little bit of Digg.
Today, I checked the displays and talked with some people about doing programs and working on some cleanup in the storage area. I also finished my Readers Advisory 101 Class this morning doing the final interview. We had to do a simulated readers advisory session with a patron. It was interesting. I ended up suggesting several hard edged detective authors, Max Allan Collins, Mickey Spillane, Robert Crais, Robert B. Parker, Donald Westlake, and Sara Paretsky. My compatriot in turn recommended some techno thrillers including Stephen Coonts and Craig Thomas. He also recommended Keith Laumer who is a science fiction author who I really like. It was an enjoyable thing to do for an hour.
I also finished reading The Yahoo Style Guide in print. It is also on the internet http://styleguide.yahoo.com/writing . One point that really stuck out for me was that I need to rewrite my headers so search engines will find what I am writing about.
