i am still impressed with the internet

well, turns out this summer working from home is going a whole heck of a lot better than last summer. first of all, i have a nicely defined position: i have a binder. i have a bunch of images. i need to make them navigable. i can do that.

of course, i do need to do some background work. which really, has led to a whole bunch of neat things. first of all, all you writers out there, WordNet. Basically an online thesaurus, it'll really help me when it comes to assigning key words to images. my vocabulary may be a little above average but it certainly is no match for this web site.

i also found an ongoing indexing project, Flamenco. I think that i will incorporate this search interface into the finished project because it gives a great overview as to what is actually included in a database. it also prevents dead ends and dead links. plus, you can easily add to it.

wow, this might be my first "librarian" related post since i had to do so for class work. maybe it won't even be the last.
