@saera your/CAVAL nC donation made me say a rude word out loud at work 🤭
It's so interesting how people remember web journeys rather than the end URL. So weird.
Just overheard a staff member explain how access our join online web page. Ahem:
"Google X Library. Click on the link that says <library URL>. Then look at the 'top tasks' box and click on 'join library', this will send you to the join online form. Fill in form."
As opposed to "go to library.spydus.com. Click register. Fill in form." 🤦🏻♂️
My brief thoughts about applying a harm minimisation approach to GLAM are up https://shaddowland.net/2019/11/20/do-no-harm/
This is an @alissa appreciation post. What a champ! Thank you for helping me!! 😊

you ever think about how the 90s x men cartoon had a more memorable orchestrated theme than any live action superhero movie that came after it
Whoops I've written 1500 words on harm minimisation in libraries and I'm not finished 😮
When you find someone with the exact same problem you have and their solution was to rebuild their server 😑 #neverupgrade
As predicted my upgrade messed up. Yaaaaay 😭😭😭
Ghost blog update is nice but now I have to a) remember how to Linux, and b) update my theme/find a new one 😭

I really hope there are a bunch of QLD library folk booking meeting rooms and getting to the 'group name' part and saying "hmm XR? Yeah let's just call you 'Climate Change Book Group' for now".
