| 20:07 | thd | kados: ping |
| 20:38 | kados | thd: what's up> |
| 20:38 | thd: I'm super busy as usual ;-) | |
| 20:39 | thd | kados: you need Automate::Proposal :) |
| 20:39 | kados | hehe ... not writing proposals this time |
| 20:41 | thd | kados: do you have your submission for the forthcoming issue of Computers in Libraries? |
| 20:43 | kados | i don't really understand the question |
| 20:43 | I submitted answers to a questionair | |
| 20:44 | koha will be reviewed alongside other ILSes in the next edition | |
| 20:44 | that's all I know ;-) | |
| 20:44 | I don't subscribe to CIL myself | |
| 20:44 | thd | kados: exactly, I thought the questionare and your answers might help guide me in preparing a Koha features list for koha.org. |
| 20:45 | kados | well ... probably :-) except i don't have the url ;-) |
| 20:45 | thd | kados: you completed it online? |
| 20:45 | kados | yep |
| 20:46 | thd | do you have an email invitation archived? |
| 20:50 | kados: I mean of course, have you archived an email invitation with a blank questionnaire attached, or containing the URL? | |
| 20:51 | kados | thd: yes but the url is no longer accessible |
| 20:51 | thd | :) |
| 20:52 | kados: well, I will have to search elsewhere for an ILS feature list starting point. | |
| 20:54 | kados: I had started rewriting a Z39.50 client using PHPYAZ until I discovered I could not install my work on OSX in any of the usual ways :) | |
| 20:55 | kados | thd: :-) |
| 20:55 | thd | kados: nothing short of recompiling Apache and PHP is likely to solve that issue for OSX. |
| 20:55 | kados | bummer |
| 20:58 | thd | kados: Until the Perl bindings for Zoom come Python may be the best cross-platform solution that I can work with if I rewrite my PHP code. The Python bindings are a little incomplete, undocumented, and difficult to follow. |
| 20:59 | kados: The PHP was easy until I tried to install it elsewhere :) | |
| 21:00 | kados: What problems were you having with inappropriate matches for your LCC gathering attempt? | |
| 21:03 | kados: Before I forget, PHPYAZ allowed persistent connections which is the right solution for the connection timeout problem that you were having. Will Perl Zoom allow persistent connections? | |
| 21:03 | kados | thd: I think so ... ask on koha-zebra ;-) |
| 21:05 | thd | kados: You had mentioned difficulties with your LC Class number gathering. What had been going wrong with the results retrieved? |
| 21:06 | kados: After you stopped querying databases for GRS-1 records instead of USMARC, of course :) | |
| 21:13 | kados: were you using author-title queries? | |
| 21:13 | kados | thd: yes |
| 21:14 | thd | kados: and were you getting back seemingly unrelated matches? |
| 21:14 | kados | thd: yep |
| 21:15 | thd | kados: did the matches at least include the relevant record somewhere? |
| 21:15 | kados | thd: not sure ... I was just pulling out the first record |
| 21:17 | thd | kados: you were expecting perfect results :) |
| 21:17 | kados | thd: :-) |
| 21:18 | thd | kados: the problem is that the BIB-1 attribute set specifies the form of the query but not which field indexes the query will be run against. |
| 21:20 | kados: Implementers of Z39.50 services, in their wisdom, want to make sure you get as many results as possible. | |
| 21:21 | kados: I will tell you how to trick them tomorrow or whenever you may be available. | |
| 02:05 | osmoze | lo |
| 09:49 | hdl | hi owen. |
| 09:49 | owen | Hi hdl |
| 09:50 | hdl, did you help write the serials scripts? | |
| 11:54 | hdl | kados around ? |
