I’m reading O’Reilly’s Information Architecture for the World Wide Web by Rosenfeld & Morville. Right now, I seem to be having flashbacks set in college back when I was thumbing through my roommate’s ‘business management’ books-I mean, people teach this crap? I feel like I’m reading that $7 paper-back book titled ‘How to pick stocks to make you a millionaire!’. Yeah, I know, I’m just not seeing the forest from the trees….
On a related greek-frustration note, my local library spent 3 days upgrading their catalog while I was up in Portland. Well, the user-interface is better, but the queries now take a million years! I really want to see the raw SQL-because simple searches shouldn’t take 20 seconds! I asked a librarian and she gave me a blank look-she just noted that they had spent a lot of money “improving” the system. To all the geeks out there, I am thinking they didn’t index shit.
