The Shifted Librarian - Shifting Libraries at the speed of byte

Things to check out tomorrow:

So there you have it... my to do list for tomorrow, in addition to more Radio docs. Just not enough hours in the day. Let me note, too, that the majority of links came to me as comments via YACCS, and they were pushed to me via my news aggregator. I can't stress how fantastic a service that is!

I started out with Odigo, then Eyeball, and now I'm stuck on Trillian. I like the way they're thumbing their nose at AOL. Chutzpah, and more power to 'em! When they go down though, maybe I'll give AT&T's IM Anywhere a try. They don't connect to ICQ, but they do interact with AIM, Yahoo, and MSN. I don't know anyone on ICQ, so personally that's not a loss for me. Has anyone else tried IM Anywhere?

Major Ugh! Trillian has released yet another version to combat AOL's blocks on AIM, but in order to download it, I have to register with CNET. What does Trillian get out of this? Good thing I have a spambait address.

One nice perk of being a librarian (besides never having to pay overdue fines and having EVERYTHING on the planet available to you and knowing it) is that we're invisible on forms that request personal information. There's never an option for "Libraries" in the "Industry" drop-down menus, or "Librarian" in the "Job Function" drop-down menus, so I can honestly pick "Other" every time, knowing that I'm screwing with their statistics. As Brent would say, "Oh yeah, baby!"
