This is a great idea: http://trilogy.brynmawr.edu/trico/sys/sms.html

By going off the books it is possible to add some javascript to a typical III Catalogue and get a very neat 'Send to Cell Phone' feature.  Going along with the suggestions on the page I modified the script (sms.pl) and changed it into PHP.  I even added a tiny amount of statistical gathering.  My thought is if this thing is very popular it might be worth creating more interesing options.  Something along the lines of 'Send this to an email address' or 'Recommend this to a friend'.  Anyway here is my version of sms.php:

Getting Dspace up and running is a bit of a handful.  The difficulty is mostly due to the fact that it is Java based,  (In my opinion anyway)  Every different distro has a different way to setup the prerequisites so a standard install guideline won't be very useful.  The following are the key points required to get Dspace up and going on a FreeBSD system.

SaskScript on Demand

Sometimes it would be great to run SaskScript if you have a new database or collection activated in your SFX knowledge base.  The only problem is there is no simple way of resolving one single target with SaskScript .  SaskScript is an all or nothing deal if you use the GET style resolving where it queries your SFX server live to get the data.  I've put together a little app that will do the MANUAL style resolving of one or two particular targets. 

Widgets seem to be where it's at right now.  The real joy with using them is that you can benefit from code reuse.  Plus as this brief walkthrough will show you can take the tools at WidgetBox.com, take your Chat Reference software into build a neat little app without much work.

 Install Subversion 

Subversion is a great utility that will make code development a lot easier.  Basically it is a repository that keeps track of the versions of files and allows for many people to simulatenously work on one project.  There might be some top heavy work at the begining but it is well worth it.  Everything is packaged nicely for Ubuntu so there really isn't much work.  This install will put absolutely no security measures on the repository so use cautiously. The base install only allows for command line access to the repository so we'll also look at putting a web GUI on top of if.
