My first time at Open Repositories was lovely. My talk "Integrating Digital Repositories and Learning Management Systems Using EduLink" seemed to go really well. I have *so* many threads I need to pull on! #openrepos2025
I have a new publication: Long-term effects of group selection, single-tree selection, and clearcutting on individual-tree and stand volume growth in northern hardwoods of the Great Lakes region (https://doi.org/10.1093/forestry/cpae060) in Forestry (https://academic.oup.com/forestry). Exciting!
Fantastic first day at the 2024 #ATEPI conference!
(I'm considering it a victory that there's *only* about half a dozen things I wish I'd included or been clearer about in the lightning talk.)
Code4Lib 2024 last week was *amazing*. I was really happy with how my talk on Batch Editing went (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0fG0j949GM&list=PLw-ls5JXzeNYT9Y3JZGjl7EFy7vOeXpk-&index=2&t=2222s). I also did a lightning talk on some parallels I see between chess computers and AI in libraries that turned out pretty well (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npq8Qm1oeds&list=PLw-ls5JXzeNYT9Y3JZGjl7EFy7vOeXpk-&index=5&t=1558s). #code4lib #c4l24
I mostly read Mastodon in #weechat via #bitlbee with bitlbee-mastodon (IRC truly has a gravitational pull for me). TIL about `/buffer set short_name X`. It's so nice! I love how much cleaner it makes the merged buffer where my timelines live.
#introduction: Hello! I'm a #PHP developer and #sysadmin with Internet Scout at UW-Madison. We build digital repositories for #OpenEducationalResources. I'm interested in #FreeSoftware and #CreativeCommons licensing. I love minimalist computing - my desktop is #xmonad and a ton of xterms running #TUI programs like #mutt, #weechat, #vim, and #emacs. I'm also a former forest #ecologist. In my dissertation I used the CANOPY model to study patterns of biomass development in northern Wisconsin.
