    Episode 6: Ian Collins

    Hyperlocal Chicago digital collections, a Wordpress/Drupal/Omeka smackdown, multisite Wordpress as a library service, Agile(ish) project management making lives better, why we love staging servers, the woes of front-end testing (with a rant about our frenemy Selenium), and Lars von Trier.

    Episode 5: Margaret Heller

    We talk about the awesomely DIY Read/Write Library of Chicago (which is eager for your volunteer involvement, Chicagolanders); building a culture of UX testing; useful web analytics tools (and their privacy implications); and the pros and cons of open source library tech stacks.

    Episode 4: Whitni Watkins

    We talk about ending up in programming without a CS degree, informal learning and hidden prerequisites, using programming in your life, Code Club, teaching yourself and others to code, and Whitni's unbelievably freaking cool app that uses echolocation to help you evaluate whether your library spaces are acoustically well-suited to their functions.

    Open Paren Episode 3: Miriam Posner

    We chat about what “digital humanities” means, some thought-provoking projects and articles, the limitations of metadata in describing diverse experiences and how to build interfaces that grapple with these limitations, useful tools to learn if you want to do DH work, and more.

    Episode 2: Francis Kayiwa

    Telecommuting via robot; how Francis got into system administration (and library school) by way of a Kenyan computer club and his dormmates' advice; late '90s computer science curricula and why things are better now; why Docker is the new hotness (and containerization can make your life than virtual machines do); learning from your social circle; documentation as hospitality; what Francis' favorite operating system is and why (spoiler alert: it's the one that makes him swear the least); and administering lots of servers at once with an Ansible playbook.

    Episode 1: Cecily Walker

    We talked about thinking like a programmer, Skillcrush, Maptime, learning communities, why maybe user interfaces _should_ make you think, the gaps in our metadata, human stories, and how to break and remake the library world for the better. I couldn't have asked for a better opening guest.
