I just brought one-handed death to a flying mosquito, even though it's barely still light enough to read out here (almost 9 pm). Apparently not having lived next to a swamp for the 2nd half of my life is not enough time away to lose the hard-won reflexes of those first 18 years on an island :D.
also, that was the 4th one in half-an-hour! wtf, Colorado Springs? (I'm hoping it means we will get a bunch of rain.) - Marianne

In my inbox: I am delighted to confirm that your request for funds to support the scaling and further development to sustainability of ImpactStory, a nonprofit open altmetrics platform that helps scholars evaluate, sort, consume, and reward web-native products has been approved by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) - Heather Piwowar

congrats - that's such great news!!! - Sarah
Congrats. PS: I opened my account again and started up the "create collection" process for my Google Scholar file. It's still running half an hour later. I'll let it run for the next three hours at least...I look forward to seeing the results. - Walt Crawford
Wowowow, good job! - Meg V. Meg
Hi Walt. Yeah, sorry, it shouldn't take that long... 3 mins at most. The good news is that we're moving out of time-consuming fundraising mode and into development mode (with $$ to hire contractors to help!).... we should get to fixing bugs like this soon. Sorry you are running into a bug now, and I hope you'll be up for giving it another go when we've given it a rev! - Heather Piwowar
Snoopy dance! - John Dupuis
Heather: Then I guess, since it's now been more than an hour, I should cancel it and try again some other time? - Walt Crawford
Walt, yup, cancel for now. can you email me your Google Scholar file so I can debug? team@impactstory.org Thanks! - Heather Piwowar
Heather: Done. (I don't know that I actually canceled it, but I shut down that tab.) - Walt Crawford
YAY! That is so exciting, and congratulations! - Laura Krier
Having your good news liked by oodles of people you like, admire, respect, haven't met yet, and/or have known for years? Happiness*2. Thanks, everybody. - Heather Piwowar
also, not just good for you, Heather - but good for the rest of us who care (and/or want someone else to care) about tracking altmetrics. :-) - $tephanie•Gardening

Long time, no see, FF peeps. I've been getting a few DMs and such so I thought I'd check in. Lot going on with me, but for the most part, all's well. Will be moving on from New Orleans this summer (but I'll be at ALA in Chicago next month!). Thanks for keeping an eye on me!
Thanks, D. - Micah
Moving on? - Pete #TeamMonique
Yep. Onward and upward. I've learned a lot here, went to school here, earned a degree and became a librarian here. Grateful for all I've been privy to as a result. - Derrick
glad to see you D. where ya moving too? - Sir Shuping is just sir
Back to California or to someplace new? - John (bird whisperer)
Hi, D! Nice to see you here! - Anne Bouey
At this point, where I'll end up hasn't been determined. Applying for jobs and interviewing across the country and keeping an eye open on possibilities. Hence, my absence and lack of participation around here lately. It's been a little stressful, but I'm looking forward to new things. - Derrick
Good luck with the applications! - John (bird whisperer)
Grazie, John! - Derrick
Yes, good luck in your new future. To me, it seems like just yesterday you were nervous about moving across the country to New Orleans. - DJ Stevie Steve

http://ruk.ca/content... - a splendid review, with excerpts, of my Poppy's book about circumnavigating Prince Edward Island by canoe, in the 30s and after. (said book available for free, also, at http://www.islandlives.ca/fedora... ). <3.

here's a snapshot of the e-resources that were suggested by a ref desk staff person to a patron at our library, over the course of one year. the ones to the side were suggested only by themselves; the others were all suggested in addition to others. i had no idea our ref desk staff suggest multiple resources at each interaction on a regular basis.
eresource_cooccurance.jpg
how did you do the analysis? - Sir Shuping is just sir
i counted all the e-resources mentioned during each ref desk transaction, organized the data in ucinet, then used netdraw to visualize. our little e-resources live such unexpected, complex lives! - Marie
could be used for a recommender system? - Christina Pikas
yes. :) what other ideas come to mind? - Marie
Promotional: "See how much stuff our librarians KNOW? Give us a call." - Amandadon't
How did you track this? - awd (canoeist in th wild) from Android
I didn't track any of it! (=TOTAL WIN) Our Info Desk staff log each transaction into Gimlet (http://gimlet.us/). I took what they did and broke it down, funky-like. - Marie
gimlet looks interesting - and cheap! - maʀtha
Gimlet devs are friends of mine. :) You got questions, I can get answers. - RepoRat
I think we are paying lots more for Desk Tracker - maʀtha
Oh, and now that I think about it, one of the said devs is moving to UMN. He's a good guy. DM me for his info. - RepoRat

I have no idea HOW I maintained straight A's during this year of unrelated insanity (professorial forbearance probably had something to do with it), but it turns out I did. So now that grades are in, school is *really* over for the summer and I don't even have to THINK about next fall until at least July. *runs off to play*

On the ONE hand, it is freaking awesome that my degree includes a required info policy class where we study (interesting, meaningful, challenging) stuff like the complexities of electronic voting security, with other iSchool students from specialties like telecom.

On the OTHER hand, I really haven't thought this hard about firmware since... uh... 1996 or so. It's humbling to be reading clear, lucid prose at a speed of 1 page every 8 minutes. - Marianne

Expanding Public Access to the Results of Federally Funded Research | The White House - http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog...
HOLY WOW LOOKIT. - RepoRat from Bookmarklet
HERE IT COMES!!! - Hedgehog
i'm all misty eyed - jambina
The Obama Administration is committed to the proposition that citizens deserve easy access to the results of scientific research their tax dollars have paid for. That’s why, in a policy memorandum released today, OSTP Director John Holdren has directed Federal agencies with more than $100M in R&D expenditures to develop plans to make the published results of federally funded research... more... - awd (canoeist in th wild)

Once in a very, very great while, I actually think maybe government works. - laura x
So with the limitation to "over $100 million in R&D expenditures" and "develop plans" and "within one year of publication," do you guys think this will make much of a dent? I have no idea if $100 million in R&R is a ton or chump change. - bevedog
Chump change. This covers the same group of entities as the original FRPAA, so it's at or over the 80/20 point of all federally-funded research. I can try to dig up the real percentage? - RepoRat
One tweet I saw said this included NSF, Ed, EPA, NASA, USDA, HHS, Commerce, Interior, Defense, Energy, Trans, DHS, Ag, Smithsonian along with NIH--which is already covered. - Hedgehog
And I think it could easily trickle down to smaller departments - Hedgehog
Can I like this again? - OMG 404 Joe
