Yesterday we received about an inch of snow here in Gunnison. This morning is beautiful, the birds were singing and the temperature was just below 40, crisp with no wind. I biked to work this morning. I noticed gas prices here in Gunnison are about $3.85 a gallon, so I bet I'll see over $4.00 a gallon by Memorial Day. Yet, another reason to bike to work. I have decided I'm a fair-weather bike commuter, waking up to snow did not increase my motivation to bike to work.
I am working on a paper to present at an undergraduate computer science conference in October. The paper's first draft is due next week and I am half-way done. The title is "Archiving College Websites using Heritrix and D-Space" and is about my and Chris (the student who has been working with me on this project) experiences with integrating Heritrix (a Java web-crawler) and D-Space (MIT's open-source Java institutional repository). My goal is to finish the first draft by Friday so that I can get some comments and submit the first draft by Monday or Tuesday. Next Friday I'll be in Denver for the CALC Academic Summit where I'll be presenting a digital poster session about the institutional repository. I presented a digital poster session at last year's Academic Summit so I do know what to expect.
