ONE PIC FROM TODAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This shows the city from a ridge of a walking track that begins just behind my office. It’s a public holiday today, so I did a long bushwalk with friends before returning home to create runsheets for a symposium<\/a> I am running in Melbourne next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ONE THING I DID TODAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, a few days ago. Quietly. Soft launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changed the name of this blog from Librarian Smatter to Kathrynarium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had changed it once before from “Librarians Matter”. My blog pre-dated the Black Lives Matter movement by a good half-decade, but keeping the name looked like I was trivialising something that needed a bit more respect. The domain name, “librariansmatter.com”, still make sense when I moved the S across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will hear more before the end of the month about whether, 34 years after qualifying professionally, I still think of myself as a librarian. This blog definitely is drifting away from being mainly about libraries and technology. “Kathrynarium” was the name of my second experimental blog I started using the Bloglines RSS reader<\/a> (that also allowed you to write posts that could be syndicated). My first? Kathrynosaurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m no stranger to name changing. When my kids were born, their dad and I changed our different family names to a brand new one. I used to say that I took my kid’s name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first name changed this year too. Well, at work when I changed jobs at least. My line manager is called Kathryn. So was another employee, with a smattering of “Catherines” in the same very small organisation. So, to disambiguate, I voluntarily took the name “Kit”. Just searching my emails to try to locate anything from the person interviewing me (who had the same name) convinced me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
