Hodgson Mill – Gluten Free Banana Bread

November 21, 2009 at 4:49 pm (Uncategorized)

Leslie had his first paid babysitting job  last night, came home with $35 bucks and a big smile. Thanks Mirium! Rod is forcing me to think about Christmas presents, so later today we’re going shopping. Me. Shopping in November for Christmas. What’s next? Picking my clothes off the floor? Which has got me thinking about what I really want – a rustic pine table to match my chairs. The table we have is serviceable, but needs restoration, and was a wedding present from my first wedding in 1983. Time to move on, don’t you think?

Rustic Table Karen Wants

As a treat for my celiac son, banana bread is in the oven . . .

Hodgson Mill – Gluten Free Banana Bread.

  • used canola oil instead of butter

And how’s your library web page look on a small screen? Developed an app to search your stuff yet? Demanding that vendors are smartphone friendly?

Evette Atkin – good contact for Manitoba, big issue is breaking out of the vendor / customer culture.

Mobile Learning Symposium

For me the most useful part of the day was making contact with the Apple guy, and making contact with someone in Winnipeg who knows iPhone app developers.

I’ve opened up an interesting kettle of worms by suggesting changes to the language of our Admin Rights Policy.

Found this blog post that sums it up for me . . .

“Security and technical support concerns are certainly at play, but a few good staff development hours from the Systems or IT department could do much to educate librarians on how to spot malicious or potentially problematic programs, as well as the proper procedures for installing, uninstalling, and basic triage. I’m of the opinion that the diffusion of technical skills throughout our profession can only do good, while revising paternalistic IT policies would certainly encourage a great deal more technical creativity and empowerment in librarians of all stripes.”
