    Time for my next meeting: Symphony Squad 2: The Rise of Alma

    Good morning! I&#39;m delighted to announce the release of the Oral History of LIAS project. https://liashistory.com/ In 1974, Penn State bought its first computer. In 1979, it released its first library circulation module. By the mid 80s, you could search its catalog from a terminal or the rare home PC. These interviews are with 14 people who worked at the Libraries in that era. It&#39;s both a library history and a computer/automation era history.

    Well, it appears someone tried to phish the entire Penn State Libraries directory (or a chunk of it) with a bogus PaLA invitation-ish. I assume if someone had replied to confirm, they&#39;d have gotten sent to a spoofed payment site. Feel free to boost or cross-post to other social media since it&#39;s likely they&#39;re targeting other Pennsylvania libraries.

    #OpenRefine has an API! Not just a recon API, a straight up interact-with-projects API. https://ruthtillman.com/post/openrefine-api-basics/ I had only seen it in passing before, but my recent project prompted me to investigate. This post is just a little taste, since I don&amp;#39;t know it well, but it might be a starting point for others who can think of a good use case in their own work.

    Reading this whole &amp;quot;My AI agent deleted prod and it&amp;#39;s everybody&amp;#39;s fault but mine&amp;quot; post -- it&amp;#39;s on X but public and worth reading for knowing this incident. https://x.com/lifeof_jer/status/2048103471019434248 (it&amp;#39;s also a longform post vs. a thread, so easy to read)

    Is anyone actually using MODS in the real world? After some convos this week, I&#39;m so curious.

    Good evening nerds! I have been using OpenRefine for ...over a decade now and I did not realize that there was such an easy way to repeat operations across projects. It&amp;#39;s easiest when you&amp;#39;re working on spreadsheets which all have the columns and needs. I have an overview, a walkthrough with screenshots, AND I made you some sample data! https://ruthtillman.com/post/openrefine-repeat-functions/

    @jessamyn Jessamyn, I&#39;ve been trying to persuade M for a year that if he&#39;s too embarrassed to put something in recycling, it can just go into trash and that&#39;s preferable to squirreling in his dresser. 😅 so for him: dresser me: credit card bill probably
