Real progress this week
Jan 18th, 2007 by Karen
This week has been stellar for me because I was able to make progress on getting some new software properly installed and testing new things. First, I was able to install Solr for the preconference workshop at code4lib. I tried doing the install before Christmas and had nothing but problems. So I went back to the drawing board and reinstalled Tomcat from the Apache website, then installed Solr. Once I got Solr working, I reinstalled my other web applications, namely Coldfusion and eXist. Now that everything is working properly I can get to testing and playing with my new tools. The other good part of the week was the arrival of my Ruby on Rails books, which I want to be able to start reading on the plane to Seattle. I still have a few things to get done before I run off to ALA Midwinter and Open Repositories but they mostly involve getting my Powerbook updated.
