About me I'm a sysadmin/programmer in Tasmania, Australia.
I'm LibraryThing's sysadmin, as of September 2007.
About my library This library consists of all the books currently owned by my wife and I. The science fiction is nearly all mine, the crime fiction is nearly all hers. The fantasy is pretty evenly mixed, but as for the rest of it - who knows?
Update: Still a long way behind on adding books. New acquisitions tend to make it in ok, but I still need to make time to work through the older stuff.

I had photo's for all of my books. When I logged in today over 50 of them are not there anymore. Can you please tell me what happened? Thanks,

I chose you to tell this problem to. :)
I am trying to enter a book (Weird Michigan) and 2 of the covers that are represented on the page are for the book (Weird Wisconsin). The one it automatically applies is for Weird Wisconsin AND, for some reason, it won't let me change the cover to the Weird Michigan option. (ISBN 1402739079)
Thank you,
Pam

Thanks

I was trying to add some books in Chinese through the search engine, and I notice there are very few sources. I'd like to recommend Amazon.cn - http://www.amazon.cn - since you guys seems to like that site very much. Could you please add that to your LibraryThing libraries for Chinese? Thanks a lot.

It is quite refreshing to see that you are still joking around in good mood.
Nevertheless and though we have learned that TPTB do not aprreciate Thingamabrarians--LT members, that is--reporting on (serious) trouble, still, you may want and have a look at e.g. Bug collectors : can't add books (/talktopic.php?topic=29975).
Frankly speaking, I think that an increasing number of caring Thingamabrarians are getting the message anyway.
Sincerely yours,
boekerij.

Sorry, haven't been on for quite some time now, just saw your comment on I am Legend. I saw the movie and I really enjoyed it, even though it was quite different from the book. I'm not sure about the ending though... I guess I just liked the movie because it was a good movie, not really as an adaptation of the book. The best thing about the book, imo, is the sense of desperate loneliness throughout the book and that wasn't captured in the movie.
I didn't even know there were previous adaptations! Shame on me... ^^
Anyway, tnx for your comment! I love random acts of comment :)

I hope you've had a good holiday week...so far, anyway! I am back at work today - a little slow, but SO MUCH BETTER than I was. :-)

The reason I wanted to point this out is that there *is* a thread in Bug Collectors, but the original posted thought it was a problem only for new items coming in through LoC, when really it's a larger problem. The thread is:
http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.ph...
and the real heart of the matter begins around message # 6. I should add that I was using IE 7 on Vista at the time, but I think other browsers/OSs are mentioned by others in that thread, so I don't think it's a browser issue.
I saved the first part of this message, then went back to test. It is happening in Firefox (latest version, I think 2.0.0.11) with XP as well. And, I found that the message "Sorting not working" in Bug Collectors is referring to the same thing, AND that the topic "'Other author' field causing an editing bug" MIGHT be related: Chris and his one good arm made a fix related to that post, and a few hours later is when the first post appeared about this issue, apparently incorrectly seeing it as an LoC problem. The original poster's problem might have begun before Chris did his work on the "Other Author" issue, but given the timing, I thought it was a good idea to pass that info along.
Sorry so long. I was sick in bed all day yesterday, am going to try some more fluids & crackers before going BACK to bed - but I must also have been suffering LT withdrawal. ;-) Thanks for any help you can give, and/or for passing on the specifics to Tim when he's available.

I didn't know much about the book, but having read the back cover, I'm sure I'll enjoy it-- not only did I grow up Catholic, I went to a Jesuit high school, so I've always held a certain amount of affection for the Order.
So, all in all-- I was quite pleased to get what I got! Thanks and Merry Christmas!

The reason I entered it the way I did was to group it with other Hugo entries. If we are going to mave separate pages for each different Hugo catagories we had better decide so soon.
There is some discusion on consistant formats in http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.ph...

LT is tough to admin, but it helps to also be a programmer -- so when something weird happens I can go track it down myself!
Thanks for the comment!

I'll see what I can do in the next day or so. I haven't read it all--and I don't want to!--but I should be able to summarize it sufficiently for everyone's amusement. ;)
