| 13:48 | hdl_laptop | gmcharlt: can we add a product koha-maintenance to bugzilla ? so that ppl can report all the bugs on that product directly. |
| 13:48 | Or should we add it in koha 3.0.X_stable ? | |
| 13:48 | gmcharlt | what is the purpose of this tree? |
| 13:49 | hdl_laptop | or should I send a message with my email ? and say spam me if you find any bug ? |
| 13:49 | gmcharlt | if it just for temporary testing of changes before merging into the main repo's 3.0.x branch |
| 13:49 | hdl_laptop | testing only and bug report. |
| 13:49 | giving my email could be ok then. | |
| 13:49 | I agree. | |
| 14:57 | gmcharlt: thx for your suggestion | |
| 14:58 | gmcharlt | hdl_laptop: no problem |
| 15:07 | hdl_laptop: http://blogs.liblime.com/devel[…]ding-for-testing/ | |
| 15:52 | hdl_laptop | thx gmcharlt |
| 16:53 | brendan | Good morning #koha |
| 16:53 | pianohacker | Morning brendan |
| 16:53 | How are the fires? | |
| 16:53 | brendan | more bad news from my area... The local fires have gotten worse |
| 16:53 | 1300 acres now, homes burning | |
| 16:54 | pianohacker | Wow |
| 16:54 | brendan | there are predictions of really high sun-downer winds tonight |
| 16:54 | gust up to 60mph | |
| 16:54 | I'm still upwind, but I have more friends staying at my house | |
| 16:55 | pianohacker | Is your fianceé at your house? |
| 16:59 | brendan | yes. |
| 16:59 | pianohacker | Good, nice to know she's safe |
| 16:59 | brendan | she's still got school going on... |
| 17:00 | almost getting ready to join the volunteer groups or fire department - i used to be trained as a fire fighter | |
| 17:01 | definitely going to join the reforestation groups once this done | |
| 17:05 | pianohacker | Yeah, I've seen the amount of work they have to do here in CO after a major forest fire |
| 17:06 | erosion control is a biggie | |
| 17:07 | atz | http://maps.google.com/maps/ms[…]z=12&source=embed |
| 17:12 | pianohacker | atz++ |
| 17:12 | brendan | yup atz that's the map |
| 17:12 | atz | it's not as good as the ones from last year |
| 17:12 | when there were actual hotpoint and emergency notices like | |
| 17:13 | brendan | I'm out towards the airport, ucsb |
| 17:13 | atz | "Fire is now over this section of road. Do not attempt passage!" |
| 17:13 | brendan | last night I saw flames that were about 100 feet high |
| 17:13 | atz | total insanity |
| 17:14 | brendan | the 101 is closed through the center of town... atleast all the exits are |
| 17:50 | hey atz pianohacker -- you're welcome to stop by and roast some hotdogs | |
| 17:50 | I know wrong time for a joke... but I couldn't resist | |
| 17:51 | pianohacker | how ghoulish :) |
| 17:59 | gmcharlt | brendan: best wishes to you - sorry that you're caught in the middle of this |
| 17:59 | though good sign that your sense of humor is intact :) | |
| 18:49 | wizzyrea1 | brendan: you should come to kansas, only tornadoes here |
| 18:56 | brendan | thanks gmcharlt |
| 18:57 | wizzyrea1 kansas is a little too flat for me. | |
| 19:02 | wizzyrea1 | my part of kansas isnt flat :P |
| 19:03 | but if you want mountains you *are* out of luck | |
| 19:26 | chris | brendan: youve made the news in NZ now http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/2[…]re-destroys-homes |
| 19:27 | brendan | the winds are supposed to pick up at 2pm -- an hour and half from now.... |
| 19:27 | http://www.independent.com/new[…]-without-warning/ | |
| 19:28 | from the local santa barbara paper... at the bottom there is a link to look at the fire live. | |
| 19:29 | chris - not to good if that is popping up in NZ | |
| 19:30 | chris | yeah, especially as we are having our biggest news day in a long time here |
| 19:31 | the 29th policeman ever killed in the line of duty was killed yesterday | |
| 19:31 | wizzyrea1 | ever? |
| 19:31 | chris | yeah |
| 19:32 | wizzyrea1 | as in, since policing started in nz? |
| 19:32 | chris | yep, so 150 years or somehting |
| 19:32 | atz | NZ is not known for violent crime... outside of rugby and soccer |
| 19:32 | wizzyrea1 | wow, and lol |
| 19:32 | chris | they have the nutjub who did it surrounded, but he still has a gun |
| 19:33 | (ex territorial soldier ... like your guys national guard) | |
| 19:33 | gmcharlt | :( |
| 19:34 | chris | our police don't carry guns |
| 19:34 | (not on routine patrol anyway) | |
| 19:37 | but im gonna have to look at this story all day .. so on to less depressing things nz vs australia in rugby league tonight | |
| 19:37 | should be a good game, first time we have played them since we beat them in the world cup last year (huge upset ..we beat australia in rugby union a lot, they almost always beat us in league) | |
| 19:38 | brendan | geez keep us updated chris -- about the nutjob.. not the nutjob's playing rugby |
| 19:42 | chris | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWgLLEBUPLQ <--- there is always a lot of feeling when we play australia |
| 19:42 | especially when they mouth off during the haka | |
| 19:55 | wizzyrea1 | rhcl: you made us so happy today |
| 19:58 | pianohacker | wizzyrea1: what'd he do? |
| 20:07 | wizzyrea1 | several things, tracked down our holds bugs, fixed our amazon problem (with gmcharlt) |
| 20:07 | was a good day :) | |
| 20:07 | gmcharlt | wizzyrea1: ryan, you mean? |
| 20:08 | wizzyrea1 | yes... actually |
| 20:08 | runs and hides | |
| 20:14 | rhcl | I think rhcl and ryan are different. :) RHCL = Rolling Hills Consolidated Library, i.e. "Me" - Greg |
| 20:15 | wizzyrea1 | idk why I did that |
| 20:15 | i blame it on proximity to whining children (home with a sick kid today) | |
| 20:16 | pianohacker | ouch, sorry |
| 20:16 | Do you know what's wrong? | |
| 20:16 | wizzyrea1 | lol, hopefully the normal flue |
| 20:16 | flu* | |
| 20:16 | rhcl | Are you having a flu party? |
| 20:17 | http://www.google.com/hostedne[…]Vmozh2Ua58D_6miqQ | |
| 20:17 | wizzyrea1 | Ha, no |
| 20:17 | pianohacker | That's horrifying |
| 20:17 | wizzyrea1 | one might argue that sending your child to daycare is as good as the same thing |
| 20:18 | rhcl | Stupidest idea I can think of, and I never had thought of such a think until I read that article today. |
| 20:18 | sed s/think/thing | |
| 20:18 | wizzyrea1 | it did actually occur to me, a la chickenpox parties |
| 20:18 | and I kind of see their logic | |
| 20:18 | but cripes. | |
| 20:18 | rhcl | I'd never heard of chickenpox parties either. |
| 20:19 | pianohacker | Gah, chickenpox |
| 20:19 | I have a couple of dents in my face from a horrible chickenpox infection when I was younger | |
| 20:19 | wizzyrea1 | yea, they vaccinate for that now |
| 20:19 | if you're down with the whole vaccine thing | |
| 20:20 | (big 'ol can of worms in some circles) | |
| 20:20 | pianohacker | yeah |
| 20:21 | rhcl | Yea, well, I read an article a while back about a few worms in your intestines being good for you-boosts your immune system or something. |
| 20:21 | pianohacker | "Tapeworms - for a slimmer, more attractive you!" |
| 20:24 | rhcl | Ah, just feed 'em a few extra strips of bacon every morning. |
| 20:25 | wizzyrea1 | rhcl: yea, the theory is that in people with severe allergies, tapeworms keep their overactive immune systems busy so it doesn't attack the person (causing alllergies) |
| 20:25 | supposedly this works better than most traditional medicine | |
| 20:26 | it's just theory though >.> | |
| 20:29 | rhcl | Well, robins eat worms all the time, and I'v never seen a robin with allergies, so it must work. |
| 20:30 | pianohacker | Ah, a man of schiensh |
| 20:30 | gmcharlt | could one tell if a robins sneezes? :) |
| 20:30 | pianohacker | heh |
| 20:38 | chris | back |
| 20:39 | richard | morning |
| 20:43 | rhcl | afternoon |
| 20:47 | chris | heya richard |
| 21:13 | i love qemu | |
| 21:35 | brendan | tough doing work today -- with some much fire news going on around me... I can't seem to think about anything else |
| 21:35 | here's a pic... http://twitpic.com/4qphs | |
| 21:36 | chris | yeah fair enough |
| 21:36 | gmcharlt | hang in there |
| 21:36 | brendan | geez - within a minute I already had 21 views! |
| 21:37 | news is just so much faster now... | |
| 21:39 | wizzyrea1 | omg, is that from your house? |
| 21:39 | brendan | yup. from the front |
| 21:39 | wizzyrea1 | wow |
| 21:40 | chris | freaky eh |
| 21:41 | brendan | heading outside to check the wind |
| 22:40 | chris | earthquake |
| 22:41 | richard | yeah, felt it too |
| 22:49 | eiro | hello guys |
| 22:49 | chris | hi eiro :) |
| 23:12 | brendan | heading home -- chat with you all later |
| 23:12 | chris | cya later |
| 23:31 | brendan | back home - not too good, the wind is picking up |
| 23:33 | chris | dang |
| 23:38 | brendan | we just donated some doggie food to the humane society... so at least got something constructive accomplished today |
| 23:40 | chris | :) |
| 00:28 | pianohacker | good night, #koha |
| 01:07 | richard | bex? |
| 01:07 | oops, wrong # | |
| 01:19 | chris | richard: is bex working for katipo again? |
| 01:22 | richard | she's doing a bit of contract work |
| 01:22 | chris | sweet, say hi from me |
| 01:22 | richard | sort of easing back into the work force |
| 01:22 | will do | |
| 02:37 | SelfishMan | hmm...I've just been informed that FOSS solutions like koha are a bad thing for libraries because they aren't backed by deep pockets so they will never be standards compliant. |
| 02:38 | I think they were really stretching with that "reason" | |
| 02:39 | chris | lol |
| 02:39 | i think evergreen and koha are probably more standards compliant that the rest of the proprietary systems put together :) | |
| 02:39 | if we talk about actual standards, not jsut standards vendors made up | |
| 02:42 | SelfishMan | Yes, they were nice enough to inform me that koha will never be SIP compliant |
| 02:42 | chris | awesome, did you tell them SIP isnt a standard |
| 02:42 | ? | |
| 02:42 | SelfishMan | My response: "Umm...there are several people interfacing your product with koha via SIP right now" |
| 02:42 | chris | SIP is only a standard in the same way .doc is a standard |
| 02:43 | SelfishMan | It's a defacto standard |
| 02:43 | chris | yeah |
| 02:44 | way way back in 2002 3M were wanting to get their stuff working with Koha .. theyve been taking it seriously since then, and SIP is their baby | |
| 02:44 | it just took a library to actually ask for | |
| 02:45 | :) | |
| 02:45 | SelfishMan | My head almost imploded when they told me this stuff |
| 02:45 | chris | this was a selfcheck vendor? |
| 02:45 | SelfishMan | Nah, it was someone at our state library |
| 02:46 | chris | ahhh |
| 02:46 | the same illformed opinions often come out of our national library too | |
| 02:47 | i often get "koha is only for very small libraries" | |
| 02:47 | which i usually combat that, its running in consortia bigger than all the libraries in this country | |
| 02:48 | SelfishMan | I deal with a lot of businesses, both large and small, and I get this kind of resistance to FOSS everywhere |
| 02:49 | chris | its interesting, there is very little resistance to FOSS in the private sector in nz |
| 02:49 | SelfishMan | Once I deploy it and show them the numbers the only question they have is why they waited so long to switch |
| 02:49 | chris | public sector is a different story |
| 02:50 | SelfishMan | I'll deploy and support whatever platform best solves a clients problem but there is a lot of fear out there |
| 02:50 | chris | *nod* |
| 02:52 | reed | never in my life have I heard the 'can't be standard compliant' one |
| 02:52 | chris | yeah that's a new one for me too |
| 02:52 | reed | have heard the opposite |
| 02:53 | given that the Internet exists | |
| 02:53 | hard to really make the case | |
| 03:40 | Amit | hi chris, mason good morning |
| 04:02 | hi brendan | |
| 04:02 | brendan | heya amit |
| 04:03 | Amit | brendan: http://new.koha.org/ |
| 04:03 | brendan | yes I saw it what do you think? |
| 04:03 | Amit | it is good as compare to old one |
| 04:04 | yours? | |
| 04:05 | chris | i like some of it, dont like other bits |
| 04:06 | Amit | chris which one? |
| 04:07 | chris | i like the documentation section |
| 04:07 | with the manual etc | |
| 04:07 | dont like the pay for support section | |
| 04:08 | Amit | pay for support section is not data-wise |
| 04:08 | http://new.koha.org/support/pay-for-support | |
| 04:08 | chris | yeah, i dont like the new format |
| 04:09 | Amit | hmm |
| 04:12 | what about download section | |
| 04:16 | chris | the css is kind broken in my browser too |
| 04:26 | reed | smells like plone |
| 04:27 | (meant in neither a good nor a bad way) | |
| 04:27 | Amit | chris; screen is so wide |
| 04:28 | hi reed | |
| 04:28 | reed | hi |
| 04:30 | brendan | hey chris -- just posted some more pics on twitpic |
| 04:30 | http://twitpic.com/4rj1h | |
| 04:31 | http://twitpic.com/4rj3i | |
| 04:31 | amit take a look if they load for you | |
| 04:31 | Amit | ok |
| 04:32 | chris | thats a scarily big fire |
| 04:35 | brendan | chris even here it looks big |
| 04:35 | chris | i bet |
| 04:35 | freaky | |
| 04:35 | well my wife is coming in for after work drinks, so i should go downstairs and be there when she arrives | |
| 04:36 | hopefully the fire is out by the time we next talk | |
| 05:05 | bignose-work | and they said that Mordor in New Zealand was just a special effect. |
| 05:05 | those photos look just like Mordor seen from Minas Tirith. | |
| 05:05 | scary stuff. best wishes to those in that area. | |
