Fought with opencast Matterhorn. Finally got it installed, But promised ldap authentication continues to disappoint. Will be turning to forums to document experiences and seek solutions.
opening reception and artists’ talk for “Latitude/Longitude”
Tina sent me this:
Hola Wesley!
I would like to invite you to the opening reception and artists’ talk for “Latitude/Longitude” this Thursday, October 18th, 5:30-7:30pm. You made my interactive section truly beautiful. It is always an honor for me to work with you. Thanks so much!
¡Gracias!
Gund happy
Taylor Ricketts exclaimed:
looks fantastic! works wonderfully! a couple more fixes and tests on our side, and then we’ll make it visible to the world. I may have another couple of small fix requests, but I think we are largely there.
great work on this. is there a way I can credit you or tell people how valuable this project has been?a little credit line at the bottom of the pubs page: “Thanks to W. Wright and UVM CTL for database design”?
Matterhorn moves forwards
Never did get the official 1.3.1 release to work. 1.4RC3 just came out last week. Took several days of head banging, but I made it go well enough to give me renewed hope. Current battle is geting mySQL connection to work.

Jim McGarry, Exam Proctoring center, sent me this question:
I want to send an IM (AIM) based on user input on a webpage to one of about 6 recipients whose ids I know. User wouldn’t compose IM – it would be something like ‘ “netid” is here for a meeting’ where netid is a field he enters.
This got complicated fast. AIM uses a proprietary protocol. Any APIs or code modules have been reverse engineered by traffic snooping. Nothing goggled up from php land except for one Russian library I didn’t want to trust
I did find a perl module, Net::OSCAR . But to run on cgi.uvm.edu (which historically is where perl, C, python, or other non-php scripts live), it needed XML::Parser . So I asked SAA if they could install XML::Parser on cgi.uvm.edu, and they told me that they hope to retire cgi.uvm.edu sometime this fall, would we like to test something new. I said, “Sure.”
So here’s the deal. epc and waw now have our own virtual web servers
Put php and perl scripts there, in www-root. Access and error message logs found in www-logs. You will need to install Net::OSCAR and any other necessary perl modules following these set-up instructions
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2980297/how-can-i-use-cpan-as-a-non-root-user
followed by
cpanm Net:OSCAR
add these lines to perl scripts to tell script where to find locally installed perl modules
use lib ‘/users/e/p/epc/perl5/lib/perl5’;
use lib ‘/users/e/p/epc/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi’;
I wrote the perl script using sample provided by Net::OSCAR, sent it to Jim with instructions
change these two lines
my $screenname = “screenname”;
my $password = “password”;
to send “holy moley batman” to screen name “maddodskideath” …

hi wesley,
yep, indexing looks great now. I did a bunch of searching and it seems to work. great!
I’m uploading a new one now, so indexing won’t be current til tomorrow…
of course, found a couple small things:
– link to publication – those links don’t appear in any search results – only in the full list. can you turn them on for search results?
– simple search: only works for 1 word at a time? I tried a couple 2-word phrases and no luck. Just checking.
fixed
– cosmetics and functionality: on search results screen, could you please put another “return to all publications” link just below the “your searched for (foo)”, and then put a carriage return below it so there’s a space before the listings begin?
Also, could you please make the “you searched for (foo)” text bigger and bold, same font as “search publications” in the upper right.
done
13 Lunas
Finally added some color, fonts, and design to pages
updated (abandoned) release form
made it easier to find and watch new videos
Gund publications
rebuilt dSpace index to solve search irregularities
fixed default sort fields, direction in quick search
Gund woes
Latest version of EndNote XML parser died on an &. Somewhere SimpleXML module s converting & to &, I needed to convert it back again before output.
Now all 224 new entries import, but URL not parsing correctly. Endnote simply provides “://WOS:000207587100003” or “://BIOSIS:PREV200900128240” which need to resolve to

Finally, presentation on Gund web page https://www.uvm.edu/giee/?Page=get_all.php is by submit date newest to oldest. he wants group by year order by author . Easier said than done
