| 15:43 | owen | hi shedges, I didn't see you come in |
| 15:44 | shedges | hey, owen, I just got chatzilla up on the mac, thought I'd lurk while I'm working. |
| 15:45 | owen | It's been very quiet around here lately. Might get some traffic later when NZ wakes up |
| 15:52 | shedges | any news on the Kurzweil reader? |
| 15:53 | owen | Not yet. I still have to get in touch with the holder. |
| 15:54 | The WebFeat OneSearch is up again, but I'm concerned about the load-time. | |
| 15:54 | You have to add their javascript to your site and download the onesearch form remotely. You can't just integrate their form manually into your site. | |
| 15:55 | shedges | I'm going to do a session on OneSearch at the in-service. |
| 15:55 | owen | Here's my demo: http://66.213.78.70/tempo/onesearch.html. See how quickly it loads for you. |
| 15:57 | shedges | I caught Don Yarmon's sesion at OPLIN Stakeholders on Friday and have his handouts |
| 15:57 | That linked loaded very quickly. | |
| 15:57 | owen | I'm not sure why it's required that we use their javascript-generated form. It seems like you should be able to just copy the HTML. But Don Yarman said it was required. That will prevent us from being able to do a single form to search either Koha or OneSearch. |
| 15:58 | shedges | right. and they still have some problems with the extra databases librariwes pay for |
| 15:58 | owen | (a single form-field, that is) |
| 15:59 | shedges | hmm, they seem to be having problems with this on the oplin site today. |
| 15:59 | basically, OneSearch should still be considered a beta. | |
| 16:03 | owen | This caught my eye today, but I haven't had a chance to read it: http://www.aallnet.org/product[…]ofDevelopment.pdf |
| 16:03 | "Bringing Amazon.com to the OPAC" | |
| 16:07 | shedges | thanks for that, I printed it so my old eyes can read it |
| 16:08 | btw, NoveList now offers the ability to link to a library catalog. I'll fax the info | |
| 16:27 | lose your connection? | |
| 16:37 | owen | Had to restart Firefox. |
| 16:38 | Knock on wood, my connection's been fairly stable in the last week. | |
| 16:46 | shedges | the logs are weird, I can't see any pattern. |
| 16:48 | rach | hello |
| 16:48 | shedges | hi rachel |
| 16:48 | rach | hey steven |
| 16:48 | how are things in your neck of the woods? | |
| 16:49 | shedges | cold and damp. How's your weather? |
| 16:49 | rach | variable |
| 16:50 | aweful day on saturday, lovely yesterday | |
| 16:50 | middling today | |
| 16:50 | but not wet | |
| 16:50 | http://pure-guava.org.nz/gallery/rennovation | |
| 16:50 | this is taking my spare CPU cycles at the moment :-) | |
| 16:51 | shedges | gotcha |
| 16:51 | looks like that's no small project! | |
| 16:54 | is Simon helping? | |
| 16:54 | rach | yeah right :-) |
| 16:54 | nah - we have 3 builders on the job | |
| 16:55 | we just supply lots of sweet coffee and leave them to get onto it | |
| 16:55 | si | two plumbers |
| 16:55 | a drainlayer | |
| 16:55 | and their cats | |
| 16:56 | shedges | good for si!! quite laudable |
| 16:56 | si | yes, I'm a legend |
| 16:56 | rach | a valuable contribution |
| 16:56 | si | but not with a hammer |
| 16:59 | shedges | you need a BIG pickup truck to haul stuff away -- dontcha? |
| 16:59 | rach | exactly :-) |
| 17:00 | mind you we wouldn't want that flash white one, we'd scratch it all up :-) | |
| 17:00 | si | we do |
| 17:00 | or at least, skips | |
| 17:00 | which is the local colloquialism for dumpster | |
| 17:03 | heh | |
| 17:04 | shedges | too much coffee |
| 17:30 | hi tim, how's things in Iowa? | |
| 17:31 | tim | cool, wet and windy. |
| 17:31 | Hows's things in Ohio? | |
| 17:32 | shedges | same, i'm afraid |
| 17:36 | rach | http://pure-guava.org.nz/galle[…]45_tim_up_ladder' |
| 17:36 | things here today :-) | |
| 17:37 | noisy, and somewhat lacking in a sub structure | |
| 17:40 | shedges | Man, some of that lumber is scary! What's been holding the house up? |
| 17:40 | rach | um paint I think |
| 17:40 | which doesn't meet code apparently :-) | |
| 17:40 | yep there was a good deal of teeth sucking going on yesterday | |
| 17:41 | the previous owners had covered over it with plywood, out of sight out of mind | |
| 17:41 | shedges | no duct tape? |
| 17:42 | rach | no they were keen on dexion - that sort of giant mechano metal shelving stuff |
| 17:42 | that was holding up the north wall when we bought it | |
| 17:42 | we had to get it repiled before we could/would move in | |
| 17:42 | but they missed this corner | |
| 17:49 | si | matt or fin, on minicom, when you're direct connected on serial, does it show offline, or online, in the bottom right corner? |
| 17:49 | gack, from # | |
| 17:54 | shedges | (gotta run, off to another library, good luck with the building project.) |
| 17:55 | tim | It's been a long time since I've used minicom. Those were fun days. |
| 17:57 | rach | we do some pretty funny stuff around here :-) |
| 18:08 | si | sadly, I still spend a certain amount of time every week in minicom |
