Hung 23 pictures in my apartment.
Read some sociology of science for class:
- 3 chapters of de Solla Price’s Little Science, Big Science.
- 3 chapters of Crane’s Invisible Colleges.
Read a few articles on classification systems for Pauline’s class, including Ranganathan’s “Hidden Roots of Classification,” Inform. Stor. Retr. 3, 1967: 399-410. I have to say I’m pretty sceptical about an “Absolute Syntax.”
Somewhat organized my network drive at school, from home. Yay for WebDav!
Prepped the new ACRL@UIUC website to replace the old one. The goal is to have it up before the weekend’s out. A big shout-out to Lynn Jasper, of Chicky Chicky Boom Boom!, for redoing all of the underlying code for the website this summer. [Dang! Something is weird with the server, FTP client or something. I was able to create a new folder, but cannot seem to move (or copy) the old files to it so I can upload the new ones. That really sucks!]
Went to dinner at a German restaurant and 2 bars as part of a bachelorette party, which was really just an elaborate and fun going-away party for the fabulous Jenny B [That link really is to the Flickr set, but it's marked family and friends only.].
Sidenote: Flickr needs more fine-grained control. I generally make all my photos public. But once in a while, for the sake of others, I mark some family and/or friends only. But what if you want a photo/set available to someone who you don’t necessarily (or even explicitly) want as a family or friend? For instance, a participant in some event that you’ve photographed might deserve to see those photos, but not all of the rest of your photos that are restricted. And, Jon, that is not directed at you!
Kept up with my Bloglines.
Did a lot of maintenance on my books in my LibraryThing catalog.
Put some more stuff away, as in getting more moved in.
Read Sunday’s newspaper.
Worked on some classification systems homework.
What I haven’t done:
Enough homework, of all kinds, for all classes.
Enough work around the house.

I agree re: flickr. i was thinking of using the family tag to mean something else, since my family members can’t use teh interwebz.

Hey, did I ever tell you that I did a finding aid for a bunch of de Solla Price’s papers at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago? Now I just need to read some of his books. . . .

No, I don’t think you did. I’d like to read some of his more recent stuff; especially anything that might have been written after some commentary on Little Science, Big Science had been published.
