Big Web Project on the Horizon

I'm gearing up for a humongous site development project at the moment. It's going to take a lot of work and since we're only at the initial stage, it's kind of chaotic as well.

Happy Days Are Here Again

The Adobe Creative Suite 3 just came in.

Ethics in Illinois

The annual online State of Illinois Ethics test is coming round again. All State of Illinois employees have to take it.

This is the test that famously disqualified thousands of participants last year not for getting the answers wrong but for getting them right in too little time.

So this is how I plan to 'game' the system this time round: After answering the first bunch of questions, I'll go out and rob 5 banks, shoplift enough school supplies to last me a whole year, steal the identities of six dozen people, and swallow half a pound of grapes at the supermarket without paying for them. This will still leave me enough time to get back to the office and complete the test.

Problem solved.

Cubs Victory? It's in the Lord's Hands

LibSite.org to Be Featured in ProQuest Publication

I just got word from Tina at ProQuest that they're going to use LibSite.org in one of their training publications as "a good example of library-related website design".

Needless to say, I was delighted to hear the news and look forward to receiving a copy of the final product!
