LS&T TALON http://blog.library.temple.edu/talon/ Technology Announcements, Links, and Other News Copyright 2009 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:30:10 -0500 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=4.01 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Chromium for MacOS TechCrunch Chromium Updater. See the article for full information. Usual caveats for pre-release software apply, as well as these:
  • Because it's not an official release, LS&T doesn't support it.
  • Neither does Computer Services.
  • In fact, there's always a (very, very small) chance that CS Info Security will block it.
  • We won't install pre-release software for you either. If you're not comfortable doing it, wait until release.
  • If it causes problems, our first course of action will be to get rid of it.
All of the above applies to any pre-release software, not just Google Chromium. That said, the Mac-using contingent in the Libraries trends pretty much toward the high end of the tech-savvy scale. If you can digest the article linked above, you can probably handle Chromium. Just don't make it your primary browser until there's a Chrome release.]]> http://blog.library.temple.edu/talon/archives/2009/08/chromium_for_ma.html http://blog.library.temple.edu/talon/archives/2009/08/chromium_for_ma.html Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:30:10 -0500 Microsoft Security updates It is time for another Microsoft update, and all Microsoft servers will need to be rebooted for the security measures to take effect.

The intent is to eliminate some of the issues that we have been seeing over the last few months. The first stage has already been completed, but it is necessary to wait so that I can monitor performance of the replacement server before purging the original server. The upgraded libapps will be known as blog or blog.library.temple.edu. I expect the entire process to be completed no later than 9/7/2006

The quickest and cleanest way to address the situation was to proceed immediately to changes previously described by Byron in his e-mail of 6/22, and originally scheduled for July 1st, in which "the default search in the catalog for most users will be 'View entire collection'" and would "replace the current default 'All locations except Law' for all locations except Law and Rome." Subsequent to these changes, which derive from IP-range determined opac logins, a number of individual Diamond screens had to edited to completely remedy the situation. Should the previous behavior be discovered when using a particular screen or search in Diamond, please notify Systems immediately.
