@MarcDrummond *blushing* Thanks, Marc – I'm looking forward to seeing you again!! #nagw2010 in reply to MarcDrummond #
Yesterday was a bust (too much soccer fun the day before) so my #libday5 contributions will be for today… #
Came in early to reboot and restart VPN access from our branch to our main library, open the PCC & then check email/FriendFeed #libday5 #
Pressing emails (MLA CIT-SIG vols, branch VPN and webinar info for September) taken care of, now time to clean and open the PCC #libday5 #
Fixed a printer issue, counted money and cleaned & turned on PCs for start of day in the PCC. #libday5 #
Spending my extra few minutes b4 we open this morn finding reading material for my Dec. TechSource webinar. #libday5 #
The library is open & folks are streaming in to use our PCs! I've also cleaned up an old profile off of the domain, while I'm here #libday5 #
Still working the desk – no questions yet! I did fix a print separator page issue for someone though… #libday5 #
Finally! I got questions! Helped someone get to their email and told someone that they couldn't log on because of fines #libday5 #
Another question (people just needed to wake up, apparently) about word processing & printing. #libday5 #
After another 2 questions (email and PCC policies on time extensions), it's time for me to be off the desk. Brunch!! #libday5 #

I consulted with the OPAC guy on a problem, ate lunch and dealt with invoices. Now I'm back on the PCC desk after a chat with Nikki #libday5 #
Only one question so far from the PCC (another fine issue), reading @griffey's tech trends and considering… #libday5 #
@lilaclee Absolutely – we cleared a huge backlog of fines when we put a limit on the amount of money they can owe & still use the PCs! in reply to lilaclee #
A question about our scanner, 2 new cards needing PINs and I spent some quality time with my GReader #libday5 #
I've set up more PINs, answered a phone question about USB drives, helped with 2 printing projects and *shushed* some loud talkers #libday5 #
I just helped a man who had never used a mouse with a Yahoo! solitaire game to improve his mouse skills. We have a waiting list! #libday5 #
Assisted lady with printing *only* what she wanted, grabbed an old Excel class sheet to start working on a new one for the patrons #libday5 #
Finished outline of Excel presentation and now I'm off the desk for the day. Time to check on some computer issues & go home #libday5 #
In early again after dropping the boy off for band practice – checking email and phone messages now, getting ready for the day #libday5 #
Fixed issue with online incident reports not showing dates – permissions issue in custom content type for Drupal. #libday5 #
Starting work on the slidecast for Charlotte Hubbard's podcast interview from last week, since it's still relatively quiet here. #libday5 #
Pausing in my work on the slidecast to attend the monthly Management Team meeting. #libday5 #
Finished the slidecast (found at http://bit.ly/d7EAuu) and now on to a conversation with MORENet about new firewall configs. #libday5 #
Firewall configuration conversation interrupted by a talk to police about a patron issue. Email sent to MORENet finishing the talk #libday5 #

I've cleared my "daily" folder in Greader and mostly caught up on my email. time to grab lunch at my desk (working lunch today…) #libday5 #
Lunch eaten and I've caught up on FriendFeed & sent my bio for the WJ webinar in Sept. Next up – Excel screenshots for class #libday5 #
Excel Ppt is finished, with a pause to discuss the patron from this morn (screenshot of her tweets req'd), now professional reading #libday5 #
@drupalninja I think so – i'm using a date field in 2 different content types and it works OK for me! #drupal in reply to drupalninja #
If you don't measure, you can't analyze. if you don't analyze, you can't improve – Lars Johansson (Website magazine) #
Interesting idea – make staff justify Office upgrades, now that they have access to Google Docs. Upgrade only those that need it! #
I've killed off 3 of the many, many magazines in my "to-read" pile on my desk and am now going to catch up on email and feeds! #libday5 #
Reading http://bit.ly/aKMa03 #libday5 #
Off today at 3 and am heading to KC for dinner with @kendrak, @mstabbycat, @xorpheous & Royce Kitts. Off most of tomorrow, too! #libday5 #
On the road to KC (again) for dinner out with library peeps! #
Dinner with Royce, Tab, Doug & Kendra! Excellent food & even better conversation. (@ Blue Koi w/ @mstabbycat) http://4sq.com/cRpKBn #
Yummy coffee!! (@ JavaNaut w/ @mstabbycat) http://4sq.com/4xenid #

I have checked out LOTS of books, helped 2 people get cards, sold some .25 cent paperbacks and made LOTS of folks happy 😉 #libday5 #
In to work early again today – checking Twitter and FF while waiting for my PC to load default tabs in both browsers I use. #libday5 #
