I’ll try to get Tweets on this blog page.

Many of you have been looking here only to find that I am behind in posting...

An important part of any paper, presentation, or poster is the associated figures and diagrams.

While there are numerous tools to create graphs and charts from numerical data (and I’ve already professed my current love of scipy) the creation of graphs that aren’t based on data is pretty important too.

PowerPoint is probably the most commonly used tool to accomplish this goal. It’s dead simple to use, pretty much everyone knows it, and you can create images of pretty damn good quality.

PowerPoint, however, is is a presentation tool, and weaknesses start to show up when you want to do fancier things. Auto shapes are great, and there are connectors and what not, but, at least for the version I use (PowerPoint:mac 2004) there is a lot left to be desired. A really simple example that bugs the hell out of me quite often is alignment. Yes, there is snap to, and yes you can have a grid overlayed, but what if you want to do something like ensure that two elements on either side of a middle element are the same distance apart from that element?

If there is an easy way to do that, I don’t know what it is…

However, for OS X there is a sweet app called OmniGraffle.

For the example above, OmniGraffle does neat stuff like:

See how it shows you when your two elements have the same horizontal distance from the middle element? That’s pretty cool…

OmniGraffle has a lot of other neat features, and the diagrams it creates look pretty slick right out of the box.

Here is a diagram I made with OmniGraffle giving a birds eye view of what a BitTorrent swarm looks like. I think it turned out pretty nice and creating it in PowerPoint would have been extremely difficult.

I’m sure that there are other applications out there for Windows, Mac, and Unix alike that would produce the same quality of diagram, but the ones I can think of off the top of my head (Photoshop, Gimp, and Visio) are generally designed for another purpose, with perhaps Visio as the exception. (But my dislike for Visio could span multiple posts )

I created this post over at The Lazy Bloggers Post Generator:

Darling I just had a terrible scare when I thought I have not updated this since people stopped clapping and Tinkerbell died… You would not believe how insane my life has become. Apologies to my regular readers! Even the little blue ones!.

I am overwhelmed with an awfully big adventure, personal projects, just generally being a companion to my husband. My day seems to be a litany of stuff and giggles from the first cockadoodledoo from the rooster to midnight. I am plotting and planning. I need a nap.

I absolutely, positively promise you will see me writing more to you in the future. Promise! This is for my ever faithful, devoted public…

I am the worst person I know. Not that I’m particularly abhorrent or contemptuous, just that my personality (only sometimes) will drop to the pit of my stomach and a chill settles in my brain just as cold and invisible as I am.

Going to the ophthalmologist (yeah, I definitely had to use spell-check), Dr. Hall puts his hands in various positions on my forehead and cheek as to adjust how my lid lays on my clouded right eye. Going to the orthopaedist, Dr. Bramlet yanks my leg out from under me and contorts it as to verify the solidity of my bones.

These are the only times I am touched, save the final goodbye at the end of some outings with friends. The hug is all too familiar and a foreign hand or arm typically lands on the same familiar spots. It is expected and returned with less enthusiasm. For any reason (be it from someone of an irregular height or just general clumsiness), this other hand or arm strays on lesser traveled territory, it strikes something within me close to the feeling of watching Pulp Fiction on cable. Every missed curse word, every cut scene sours my mood. The feeling is not very strong, only to express a sigh and a look of annoyance.

It’s been so long since I’ve been touched, I no longer recognize the motion as welcoming, let alone serving any kind of gratification that it might be the reason why I’m so damn excited to start school. I get to be in very close proximity to the words that will tell me all about the human race and I will be tested of what I know and how I know it. The other seats around me with those other bodies which fill them will just float away from me.

It’s as if I were a ‘bot nee human who will always enjoy a playground’s swings.

But also, those Cord Bank commercials freak me out. Give me death or destruction but I don’t want to see an advertisement for growing and harvesting organs. It’s just in bad taste.

As much as I enjoy the trendy books out there on the internet and collaborative software, Howard Rheingold is the only author of such texts that I know of who also actively considers social media’s impact upon teaching.

Whether it’s his video letting his students see his point of view when looking out into their laptop classroom, his detailed syllabus for a Virtual Communities/Social Media course, or his book chapter on “Using Participatory Media and Public Voice to Encourage Civic Engagement,”I find that all of his work helps me to articulate my own approach to discussing and teaching [freshman in particular] students to recognize and critique the technologies that bombard their lives.

This recent video is brilliant because Seesmic users can leave comments [I may create an account tonight or at least as soon as I get the coveted FlipVideo] AND it’s a widget with tabs that take you to Michael Wesch’s famous video and to a list of links pf all the theoretical readings Rheingold mentions. See for yourself and thank you Howard!

Yesterday I received my first shipment from drugstore.com. While the locals in Wisconsin probably think the weather lately has been hot & humid, it’s been “perfectly perfect in every way” for me. Considering I grew up in NOLA and lived in Tampa for the past 5 years, 86-degree weather is nothing to me! We haven’t even run our air conditioner b/c it cools off so nicely at night.

With that said, I’ve noticed that due to the lack of humidity, I’m needing to moisturize a lot more. I still have my wonderful Nivea Nourishing Care Lotion that I bought in Australia last summer, but my face has been longing for something new. I happened to see Brooke Shields mention that she can’t live without Weleda’s Skinfood, so I went online to search for it.

All the time I was packing for our move I remembered Clancy’s “use what you have” post from last summer, and I do think that with this new whole body cream, I won’t have the need for any other lotions.

While on drugstore.com too I made sure to add Booth’s Green Apple Micro Dermabrasion Scrub to my shopping cart. A friend let me try it in April and I’ve been looking for it at local Walgreen’s ever since. I never was able to, so buying it online was my only option. Again, it works so well, I plan to use it til the tube runs dry.

Maybe I’ve been watching too much of the Style Network, but I want to stick to this decluttered bathroom and streamlined beauty supply cabinet when we move into our house next month!

The OpenOffice suite has been installed on the Public Access machine. What is OpenOffice? It is a free, open source software suite containing a word processor, a spreadsheet editor, database software, presentation software, a picture editor and a graph editor. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages. The interface is very similar to Office. You can learn more here.

In case you were wondering, we could not install the Office suite because of the licensing agreements. Viewers for Word, Excel and PowerPoint are otherwise installed. Printing is possible.

So, I have to calculate some percent differences and get averages etc etc etc…

Lately I’ve been using scipy for most/all of my data analysis, but I decided that I didn’t feel like figuring out how to organize the data in a script and would just do these particular calculations “by hand” with excel.

So, there are 28 total data files that I’m working over and I open them all in Excel through Finder (ya, I’m an Mac guy at the moment, but a post about how I feel on that whole thing will come later).

I actually laughed out loud at the result.

I would assume that it’s Excel’s tiling behavior, and I’m using Office 2004 for Mac, so I’m sure there are issues there, but still, I thought it was funny.

(Oh, and I also determined that it’s probably just a better idea to write a script heh…)

You now have a new option in the catalog when looking at a particular item. Among the little icons underneath the location (the ones saying “Add”, “Print”, “Email”, etc), you will find a new one showing a cell phone and the wording “Text”. This can be used to text yourself the call number of a book as well as it title and location - no need for scrap paper and pencil. Be careful if you don’t have a text messaging plan for your phone - carrier charges may apply.

The USF Libraries catalog now sports the new name of the USFP Library as a location for items.

That means that if you do an advanced search and use the pull down menu for the Location field, you will see “USF LIBRARY - Polytechnic” as an option. As well, when search results are pulled up in a basic search, you will see that location in the “Library/Collection” facet, on the left, for you to filter your results by location.

I’m finally back from an exhausting week at Camp Boggy Creek. Walking back from the firework show, I caught a glimpse at the beautiful moonlight on the lake. There is something about being in a place like Boggy that makes you want to love everyone around you. Wouldn’t the world be a better place if everyone gave hugs regularly?

This has been a great semester of playing with toys… I mean, learning how to create library presentations in a variety of formats. I’m happy with what I’ve learned and what I’ve created, but as with almost every graduate class I’ve taken, I only want to keep learning. My goals for the future include learning how to create a dynamic web page and creating more sophisticated podcasts.

Here’s to always learning something new!

PS Oh look–now I’m Liz instead of administrator, and now you can see My Links when you click on the tab! I guess some things just take a minute to go into effect.

I chose to set up a USF blog for this project. I used the Unix group’s “Set Up a USF blog” link and the next day they had installed a Wordpress blog in my web server directory. There was only one small snag—I didn’t get the email they said I would get to give me the link to my blog and a link to my administrator’s log-in page. So I found the USF blog FAQ and found a contact email. Sure enough, it was a glitch on their side and all he had to do was send me the link. So I did a little problem solving right off the bat, which emphasized one of the big rules of tech projects: ask for help when you’re confused!

This was a new blog interface for me, and it gave me a chance to at least poke around in what a blog actually looks like at the programming level. A whole lot of php and CSS, is what I found. I spent a fair amount of time trying to get a couple of the presentation themes to customize for me with an image I selected, but never quite found the right spot to change. I did, at one point, get my images to repeat up and down the sidebar areas, but this look kind of tacky so I changed it. One thing I would still like to learn in the future is a good way to go about editing the CSS for a blog theme template, but that was a bit much to take on this time around. For now, I decided to stick with the default USF blog theme because I think it is pretty sharp looking. Some of the other options are okay, but harder to read. If I were doing this blog for a library, I would definitely stick with a black type on light background, so that’s what I did here. There were very specific instructions on the FAQ for how to edit the sidebar php to get my del.icio.us links to show up rather than the default ones, so I was successful in doing that. The links on the right side of my blog are all imported from my del.icio.us account.

Another difference between using this USF blog installed on my server and using a free blog on the web is that some of the Admin options are a little bit hidden. For example, I couldn’t just add categories from the new blog post itself. I had to go into Manage→Categories and create the category before it could be applied to any posts. These differences were minor, but it did take some poking around to find all of the things I wanted to use.

One thing I learned while creating these posts is that it’s a good idea to have a uniform format already decided upon before your start posting, or it can be time consuming to go back in and change everything. I decided to add bolding and links only after I had the first text of each post posted, so that created a lot of extra clicking.

As of this posting, a couple of things aren’t working that I still would like to get working. My posts are still being written by “Administrator” instead of Liz (I did change it under Options) and none of my links are showing up under “My Links” (I did add some using Manage Links). These are relatively minor considerations, however, and I’m pleased otherwise with what I have learned from the project.

For this project, I recorded a short “Summer Poem Podcast.” It was really hot the day I recorded it, so I decided to actually do a poem about a snow man to cool down… but the overall effect was the same!

The first challenge of this project was finding a recording software to use. I was all set to download Audacity, as recommended, but then my husband reminded me that my Mac has iLife, which as Garage Band, so I decided to stick with what I had. Also, I had never used it before, so that would still give me a chance to learn a new software.

Starting up Garage Band was easy, and I clicked on the “Record a Podcast” project template, which really isn’t a template, but it does immediately take you to the screen that you need to be in to do a simple voice recording. It even has pre-sets for male and female voices, so that was simple. Once I had a recording I liked, I saved it and started thinking about editing it. There wasn’t a whole lot to do, but because the microphone is built directly into the computer, it caught the sound of me clicking the “Stop Recording” button pretty loudly. That was right at the end and easy to isolate, so I really wanted to take it. In that process, I deleted all of my recording a couple of times, but luckily the Undo button worked wonders. Finally, I found the correct tool to create a splice and a new “region” that I could isolate to delete. No problems there.

The biggest adventure of this project was getting the file into a non-proprietary format that could easily be uploaded, downloaded, and listened to from my web page. I wasn’t surprised to find out that the default product from Garage Band is—guess what—a .band file. Dot band?!? What on earth opens .band? Oh yeah, Apple’s own product. Just for fun, I put this on the web site, and not only was it a weird file, it actually started its own directory. One little sound file and it had a ton of baggage to go along with it. It was also in something called .aif format. Next, I tried just changing the file extension to mp3. No go. I tried importing it to iTunes and importing it back out. The first time I did this, it ended up as an m4a file. This will open in iTunes, but not QuickTime or another media player that is easy to get. Finally, I tried control-clicking on the file in iTunes, and lo and behold, there is the “Convert to mp3” option. Victory! This saved me from having to download one of the many free mp4 to mp3 converters online. These can work, I’ve used them in other situations, but I didn’t want to download unnecessary software on a computer that theoretically should be fully equipped already. Once the file was in mp3, it was simple to put on the web server now that I am comfortable using the remote access. I was mentally tired out from this process, so I decided not to try to get the file to play directly on my web page. It opens in a separate page or media player. I would still like to try inserting the html at some point, but for now, I was just happy to get the right file type created.

The main lesson of this module was patience. When one thing goes really well with a technology, that doesn’t mean something else won’t take some jiggering. The recording part was simple here, and the editing and formatting took a little while. The key thing is to be creative and calm. Keep coming up with options, keep a back-up copy, and keep trying.

For this project, I chose to do a trifold brochure to promote the materials in the FAU Digital Library’s digital collections. This project built on a project that I had actually done as part of my work for the DL. I was asked to make a poster that would go in the hallway to promote use of the digital collections. This project laid the foundation for my brochure by getting me to think critically about what, exactly, might be important for users to know about the digital collections and how their content could be represented in an attention-grabbing way. So the keywords “Research, publish, and explore” came out of that work. This brochure gave me a chance to expand on just using keywords and images. It also gave me a chance to go more in-depth in an area of library promotion that I am very interested in. Digital collections are an emerging asset at many academic libraries, and promoting usage is likely to be even more important as time goes on.

Obviously, for any publication project, images are going to be crucial. I was lucky in this project that, in the course of making the original poster, I ran across many images that I knew I could use. The best among these are certainly the PALMM Heritage project’s promotional images, found at their page for PALMM participants. I was also already familiar with the collections and their materials myself, so that made writing the text much easier. I also used images from the Digital Library’s website that I knew had been used for other promotional purposes.

Based on class discussion about formats and Publisher being discontinued, I decided to do this project in Word even though I had access to Publisher, I didn’t want a final project that was going to depend on having access to that one software. I started out by looking over the project templates, and I found one that fit my needs. It originally was a menu, but that was easily fixed by re-writing and re-sizing the text boxes. One lesson that I have learned from this class and throughout my work in the library is that there’s no shame in using a template if there’s one available. There are some you want to avoid because they are overused or just don’t look that good, but having one as a base can definitely help. That way, you can focus on making your own content as good as it can be and not spend hours tearing your hair out over layout.

One thing that seems to be harder in Word than in Publisher or Powerpoint is getting images to come in to some kind of box that is easy to drag around. When you just use insert→image from file, it usually comes in a box that is very hard to manipulate on the page. So, usually I used a text box. If it didn’t want me to put an image in a text box, I would add some text, then add the image, and delete the text. This might not have been the ideal way, but it worked.

The hardest part, overall, was trying to condense what I wanted to say so that the brochure wasn’t text heavy. I think it might still be a little too much text, but I still think it is useable.

This project taught me a whole new way to use Word and gave me practice locating and using appropriate images. I also furthered the visualization skills that I started using while doing my Powerpoint, striving for a simple but professional looking layout for my content.

Having just used Powerpoint to present as part of my first on campus job interview (successfully, seeing as I got the job), I felt like this module would be very straightforward for me. Thus, in my plan, I focused on challenging myself to create a clean design and employ “bells & whistles” only when they made sense for my content. I also focused on presenting a topic that was of interest to me. Although I was very familiar with RSS feed aggregators, I had never presented on them or tried to explain them to anyone, so I knew I would need to think through the slides and what would be crucial information.

I started out by thinking about what kinds of graphics I wanted to use. Obviously, the little orange RSS box was going to be a part of it, so I selected my Powerpoint template around that. One thing that I have learned is that selecting a very simple template, with a few lines to organize the page visually, is usually much more effective than a template with a very vibrant background and a lot of space taken up by funky borders. I also chose the template because I found out that one of the custom color schemes went very well with orange icon graphic. After browsing through recent presentations shared by professional librarians on Slideshare, I found that my instincts here are right in step with current Powerpoint trends: simple, simple, simple is the popular way to go. A lot of tech presenters are going with just plain black backgrounds and white letters. I didn’t want to go that far, but I also didn’t want to overload my slides.

Setting up the core content of the slides did not take me very long, but I found that selecting spaces for call-out’s required me to think carefully about what was important about a particular image. I got very familiar with the AutoShapes function, something I had not used much before.

I had been hesitant about using animations, because usually I think they are distractions rather than aids to the presentation. When I started visualizing this as perhaps a stand-alone kiosk presentation or a presentation that someone might download on a tutorial page on a library web site, I realized that some animations would really help the user absorb the content. So on some pages I set up the text blocks to come in one at a time, and on others I made the call-out’s drop in to emphasize one area of an image at a time. I was pleased with how this worked in the end result.

The biggest ah-hah moment for me came when I learned how people make their presentations seem to run themselves: slide timings! Once I knew this, I set to work rehearsing the presentation just the way I wanted it. This took me about five times through. I got a little perfectionistic with the timings of certain elements and making sure there was enough time to read the material, but because the presentation was short, this did not get overwhelming.

Overall, this project helped me expand my Powerpoint skills by using AutoShapes more and knowing how to set slide timings. Also, each time I do a presentation, I get a little bit faster at making it and making it look great, which will come in handy as I need to do more of these for professional purposes.

I was excited to tackle this module. I had completed a basic Dreamweaver course through the IT training program at the library where I work, and I wanted to use my skills again before I got rusty. One thing I have noticed about many softwares/technology tools is that they may not be very hard to get the hang of, but to stay proficient regular practice is best.

The first lesson I learned with this module is the importance of having realistic expectations. Part of me was kind of hoping to use this project to extend my web skills by using some kind of interactive programming element, like some simple java or php—but I quickly discovered that at least for me, there was no simple version of these things! So, I decided to focus in on creating a good-looking basic page. I will continue to seek out opportunities to learn those other tools, but sometimes it just isn’t worth spending hours setting up programs that you aren’t familiar with only to have them not work and not work again, especially when you don’t have an instructor or a friend nearby to point you through. I’ll wait for an environment that is already set up for the server and database functions that php, for example, requires.

This project did help me cement a relatively new skill that I had not been comfortable with before, though, and that was managing web page content using a remote server. Now, the mystery of how to get my stuff on the web is gone. I became comfortable setting up both SSH on the PC and Fugu on my Mac. Now sending content to my web page is a simple process, and this will not be something I even worry about when it comes to building my next web page.

Now that I had focused in on a basic page, I had several choices to make. I knew I wanted to use Dreamweaver and Nvu, the free WYSIWIG editor for Mac that I use when I am at home. I chose the picture of myself that I wanted to use, and then I selected a color scheme that worked with it. I decided to use a mini-navigation bar for links to other areas of the page using anchors. This isn’t such a big deal on a short page, but it gives a reason to have that nice looking nav bar under the header and if the page got longer, it would help users to find things.

Seeing as I hadn’t had that regular practice, it took me a little while to get acclimated. It is easy to forget exactly where the function that you are looking for lives—is it under this tab or that one? Is it an option on this menu if I click one step further, or do I need to look at the little toolbar down on the bottom? I always have to review what padding means. Still, it was much easier to be returning to this software than to be learning it for the first time.

Finally, once I had my web page looking like I wanted it to and the rest of my modules completed, I had to add links to my content and make sure that the audio would work in my page.

Overall, this project helped me become more confident in my Dreamweaver skills, my remote uploading skills, and my basic HTML editing skills.
