ok people who think google obviates the usefulness controlled subject access…
Suppose you remember running across a nest of literature on the history of office supplies/tools/filing systems/the rolodex, etc., but you don’t remember any authors or titles…
How do you go about re-finding that, or a good hook back into the nest, using Google Scholar/Google Books?

notes on installing apache 2.2.6 for cygwin
That took forever and the solutions were scattered about. Oh yeah, I’m doing this in Windows XP Pro.
Started with Cygwin’s setup.exe.
Tried to start Apache and got this:
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified
domain name, using tms-computer.local for ServerName
(48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address
0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
This was solved by changing the Listening setting (line 40 of etc/httpd.conf) to 85 since another service was using 80.
I read several accounts of people clean restoring their machines to get an open listening socket. Don’t do that!
Let’s see, what was the next problem? Oh yes, this at the very bottom of the same http.conf file:
#BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS – REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
PHPIniDir “C:/prog/PHP/”
LoadModule php5_module “C:/prog/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll”
#END PHP INSTALLER EDITS – REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
I don’t currently have PHP installed, and if I did install it, it wouldn’t be to that location. Perhaps this will cause some problem later, but for now it fixed things enough for me to get to the next problem…
Now, feeling pretty good, I was following these instructions, starting with Test since Cygwin had taken care of everything up to Customize and I had taken care of that already.
Of course, running
$ usr/sbin/apachectl -k start
did not work.
I got the following error:
/usr/sbin/apachectl2: line 78: 2340 Bad system call $HTTPD -k $ARGV
After a fair amount of poking around and trying things that did not work, I found this page, which got me back on the right track.
You have to have cygserver installed.
I swear I had done that before, but I did it again. Details on cygserver are here.
Run usr/bin/cygserver-config
When it asks you if you want to install as a service, say yes.
Set a global Windows environment variable: CYGWIN=server
To do this, right click on any “My Computer” you see and select Properties >> Advanced >> Environment variables.
Make sure you are in the system variables and not the user variables.
Start the cygserver service:
net start cygserver
HA! This must be it…
Try this again:
usr/sbin/apachectl -k start
STILL it didn’t work! Argv indeed.
I forget where I even found the answer, but the answer was to type in this instead:
CYGWIN=server usr/sbin/apachectl -k start
and FINALLY:
the right idea, but…
Max Van Kleek; Michael Bernstein; David R. Karger & mc schraefel. (2007) “Gui — phooey!: the case for text input.” In UIST ’07: Proceedings of the 20th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology, pp. 193-202.
Abstract: Information cannot be found if it is not recorded. Existing rich graphical application approaches interfere with user input in many ways, forcing complex interactions to enter simple information, requiring complex cognition to decide where the data should be stored, and limiting the kind of information that can be entered to what can fit into specific applications’ data models. Freeform text entry suffers from none of these limitations but produces data that is hard to retrieve or visualize. We describe the design and implementation of Jourknow, a system that aims to bridge these two modalities, supporting lightweight text entry and weightless context capture that produces enough structure to support rich interactive presentation and retrieval of the arbitrary information entered.

Or was it my ruined mind that made me love cataloging?
At least once a semester, a student reports that they were dreaming about cataloging. Tell me about it. I’ve been there, running all night through a labyrinthine tunnel complex that was the logical structure of AACR2.

perhaps those who say i work too much have a point.
I have worked diligently on writing, looking up page numbers in articles, and verifying citations for just over 36 hours since Friday morning. A tad over 12 hours a day. And here I was excoriating myself for not getting started earlier in the day(s).
Every 5-10 minutes I am stopping myself from writing a paragraph that isn’t necessary, so imagine how bad it could be.
