When I arrived back in the office, I fired up WordPress and did some updates. One Plugin, OpenBook Book Data, had a new update. I was glad to see the code had been revived since I’m a big fan of the Open Data, books, and WordPress. This plugin combines all three! The update didn’t work as planned, but I’ve got it working and let the developer know of the issues, along with my workaround.
I didn’t finish every book I bought over the summer. I found a lot of good books. Some were free, most were damn cheap! They all get added to the Undiscovered Library in my basement. Except for one, which is a gift.

Scams, scandals, and skulduggery: a selection of the world’s most outrageous fraudsWorldCat•LibraryThing•Google Books•BookFinder this book I actually found that a waste transfer site on the west side of Algonquin Park. There was a little shed which had a book exchange and free items to take. There are many stories in the book of scammers, one of which was the guy in the movie “Catch Me If You Can”. I was surprised to find out how much of that movie was actually real and accurate. The book was written by a member of the CBC broadcast corporation. There was a radio show under the same name and the stories in the book were the best-of and most highly requested stories of the radio show.
