Device and Desires:

Just bugger off Sony Ericsson, you’ve lost my respect. You’ve had thousands of pounds out of me in the past. But stick to student mobile phones called Kxxx with crap silly little jukeboxes on them, SmartPhones are out of your league.

Rarely, very rarely, something makes me laugh so hard it hurts...

Flight of the Conchords, If You're Into It

Over on Tiny Drops of Knowledge (the name belies the depth of the content) Lyndsay posted about changing culture - in his case being part of a team moving from VB to C#.

At Talis we find we're constantly changing, and have been for longer than my three years here. At Talis that change has been about talent, responsibility, empowerment, achievement, learning, fun and real values.

Back in June on The Berkun Blog, Scott's talked about Asshole-Driven Development, and other great techniques for the dysfunctional office. He states clearly that his list is cynical, and that there is probably a happy list as well...

Well, I figured I'd take a pop at a happier list...

Over at OCLC, Thom and his team are doing work to match names across several international Name Authorities. This comes after the recent announcement about allowing non-latin characters into the LC/NACO Name Authority.

This is great work and ties up somewhat with threads I've been thinking about following discussions on other lists.

Over at hangingtogether.org Karen notes that the CPSO at Library of Congress have announced that:

The major authority record exchange partners (British Library, Library of Congress, National Library of Medicine, and OCLC, Inc., in consultation with Library and Archives Canada) have agreed to a basic outline that will allow for the addition of references with non-Latin characters to name authority records that make up the LC/NACO Authority File.

Well, several free speeches actually. At least they are if you register and come to Birmingham... Insight - A Library Conference for All Insight is a free two day conference for anyone interested and involved in the future of libraries. Being UK-based we've set it close to our home in Birmingham.

The programme has some great names, headed up with a keynote by Euan Semple. Other include:

Bloody hard.

Well, at least it seems to be. So why?
