I did not post yesterday

Because it was Alfio's birthday. He is old. OLD OLD OLD OLD. I am however, young and sprightly. I have realised that I have lost the edge, the need to be witty, to be different, the will to be constantly evolving. So the questions are; is it because I live in suburbia with my partner and do ordinary things, OR is it because that is what happens when you are 34, OR is it because my own eccentricities are so imbued into my very being I cannot see them objectively enough to try and maintain them anymore OR that I am bored OR that I think about this shit too much when I am supposed to be learning about fair dealing in copyright law in Australia?
By the way,
AARLIN, which stands for the Australian Academic Research Library and Information Network is in fact a collaborative technological project which involves creating a portal for access to multiple subscription databases. It was initiated in 1999 and was launched in 2005 and is only mildly successful. Major problems include the linking together of various search systems in the variety of databases they have attempted to cover. For example: some databases do not provide all the seven usual fields for searching, (those are keyword, title, author, ISBN, year, ISSN, subject) and others offer more than these seven. Of the forty or so universities in Australia, only 12 of them have paid the $3500 yearly subscription to this service. Of those, the Faculty Librarian at ECU at the South West Campus actively dis-encourages its use, calling it ineffective as a searching tool. However, the benefits of this project have a much broader scope, including showing how Australian Academic Libraries can work together and that a consortium model can be used to achieve a collaborative project.
