00:18 wizzyrea_ shameful!

00:19 wizzyrea_ I had a lovely kebab
00:19 :P
00:19 braedon what was all that fuss about win7?
00:19 * braedon is reading the feed
00:20 nengard summary on my blog of that talk braedon
00:20 braedon o, it was part of a pres?
00:20 nengard yes
00:20 braedon i assumed it was a technical glitch
00:20 found it
00:20 thanks

00:21 hdl left #koha
00:21 * chris_n refused to eat McD's when he visited Spain
00:21 hdl1 joined #koha
00:21 nengard i think sekjal is listening to paul_p and not seeing his picture :)
00:22 wizzyrea_ we broke down once in the airport, and had dunkin and a mcmuffin (but that was spud and the hubs... I AM STILL PURE)
00:22 sekjal I was in here late working on tickets for our clients, and had to grab something quick!
00:22 nengard we ate at the library - it was DELICOUS!!
00:22 the real library - not the bar library
00:23 wizzyrea_ right, they have a good cafe there
00:23 nengard sekjal++ for working :)
00:23 sekjal I was also curious about the experience of BK out of America
00:23 wizzyrea_ lol
00:23 bengard what's the verdict?
00:23 sekjal it's a little better.  not much, but I don't feel as contaminated
00:23 chris_n is it as bad as in America?
00:23 snap
00:23 bengard so less toxic waste in NZ BK?
00:23 sekjal I think so.
00:23 bengard well, they do seem to be more environmentally conscious here
00:24 braedon still mainly cardboard and napkins though
00:24 sekjal won't be doing it again
00:24 braedon dagnamit
00:24 sekjal trying not to eat the same place too many times; want to get a broad range of experience while I'm here
00:25 slef is the wifi dead?
00:25 * braedon keeps for getting not to make obscure references to cartoons here...
00:25 bengard so you won't be going to get kebabs with Nate every night?
00:25 wizzyrea_ no, but you can't have alternate dns in or it won't find the caenet website
00:25 cafenet*
00:25 * wizzyrea_ thought it was dead too
00:25 wizzyrea_ is now known as wizzyrea
00:26 slef nah, I have no wifi ap connection
00:26 sekjal bengard: going to try not to, though those kebabs are pretty good!
00:26 bengard heh
00:27 slef I'll move nearer the back and see if I get a better ap link
00:27 I think I bit my tongue at lunch :-(
00:28 wizzyrea noes!
00:28 nengard :(
00:28 braedon could be it - wi-fi connections are all about how you hold your tongue
00:28 slef aha I have wifi... brb
00:29 back!
00:30 multinetwork_devices++ anyway
00:34 cait joined #koha
00:35 magnus joined #koha
00:56 paul_p joined #koha
00:57 slef paul_p++
00:58 paul_p: I think you do not know how great that accent is :)
00:58 wizzyrea left #koha
00:58 paul_p slef, kidding or not ? (/me think yes)
00:58 slef not
00:59 nengard he's not kidding
00:59 wizzyrea_ joined #koha
01:00 slef paul_p: you ever heard of Antoine de Caunes?
01:00 wizzyrea_ ^^ hehe
01:00 paul_p slef, of course yes !
01:00 slef paul_p: he is cult hero on uk tv
01:01 I think you imagine it is like an anglo accent en francais
01:01 which is bad, I know :)
01:01 it's infinitely better than that.
01:02 chilts paul_p: do you have a Twitter account?
01:03 paul_p chilts, paul_poulain
01:03 chilts sweet, thanks :)
01:03 paul_p slef, yep, even in France, he plays with his english accent, doing some performances in "frenglish" that are really lol !
01:03 slef oops not paul_p?
01:04 who did I link???
01:04 :)
01:04 chilts slef: dunno, but I copied and got it wrong too :)
01:04 nengard slef i think that was my fault - i linked to paul_p first and then saw that I did the wrong thing and everyone followed suit
01:04 chilts heh
01:04 slef yeah I was copying
01:04 chilts welcome to the internet and copying info without checking sources :D
01:04 paul_p slef, on twitter, no, it's paul_poulain
01:05 slef is that a bugmeme?
01:05 chilts memebad
01:05 :)
01:05 wizzyrea_ left #koha
01:05 slef chilts: yeah, I was double-checking that sofia is in bulgaria about 10mins before I spoke
01:06 as I remembered that I'd looked that up on wikipedia instead of a real source
01:06 which is dangerous
01:10 Nate joined #koha
01:11 paul_p nengard,  In 2002 Koha 2.1 was released along with the introduction  =>  In 2002 Koha 1.2 was released along with the introduction  (1.2 not 2.1)
01:11 nengard oopsie - typo - will fix
01:11 wizzyrea_ joined #koha
01:12 nengard fixed
01:13 why do i smell something cinnamony? who has yummy sugar behind me?
01:14 wizzyrea_ I smell it too, I think it's her pastry
01:14 cait I think it's the woman in front of me
01:14 wizzyrea_ --------->
01:14 * cait smells the cinnamon too
01:15 nengard cait - oh there she is!! :)
01:17 slef #weSupportHLT
01:17 ?
01:18 cait ?
01:18 slef see twitter.com/mjray
01:18 paul_p nengard, (thanks)
01:18 wizzyrea_ hehe, "simulates a modern library"
01:18 uh...
01:18 cait paul_p: she is right
01:19 you did very well
01:19 wizzyrea_ kind of *is* a modern library
01:19 >.>
01:19 Nate left #koha
01:19 Nate joined #koha
01:19 paul_p cinnamon has not reached my line yet ;-)
01:20 wizzyrea_ the cinnamon bun is nearly devoured
01:20 so ti may not waft to you
01:21 Nate I smell kebabs
01:21 Kebabs.... Mmmmmmm
01:21 wizzyrea_ lol
01:21 (that's your breath, dude)
01:21 >.>
01:21 * magnus thought we just had lunch
01:22 Nate O.O
01:22 wizzyrea_ ^.^ kidding, kidding
01:23 Nate :D
01:26 bengard kebab: it's like a popsicle, only made of meat
01:26 Nate left #koha
01:32 magnus oh no, she says "KOHA"...
01:34 sekjal magnus: only on a couple of the slides, though
01:35 wizzyrea_ I got an email from one of my librarians with the dreaded all caps this morning
01:35 well, yesterday afternoon for them really. :P
01:37 sekjal does anyone remember if we've discussed setting up a Kete instance for the Koha community?  I feel like it may have come up before, but my initial searches just return info on integration
01:37 wizzyrea_ I don't think we have
01:38 sekjal I think it'd be pretty cool
01:38 wizzyrea_ agreed... what would we keep in it?
01:39 cait wizzyrea: what I see a lot is KoHa *shivers*
01:39 sekjal well, all the wiki content could fit there
01:39 video tutorials
01:39 wizzyrea_ !!
01:39 sekjal conference recordings
01:39 slef yeah well some  dev co spent years flaming kea, so kete didn't really get considered ever
01:39 sekjal images from conferences, regional get togethers, what-have-you
01:40 Nate joined #koha
01:41 Nate left #koha
01:41 sekjal could add icon sets, logos, other image files to connect to your system preferences
01:41 wizzyrea_ so you're thinking of replacing the wiki?
01:41 I like the idea of keeping the multimedia content there
01:41 sekjal also sound files to use in the HTML5 parts of circ
01:42 magnus i think the wiki is better for text - easier to create links
01:42 wizzyrea_ the obvious question that you'll get, I think, is "why can't you put that stuff on the wiki?"
01:42 magnus but kete would be great for files/documents etc
01:42 wizzyrea_ ^^
01:42 cait perhaps replace kohadocs?
01:42 richard left #koha
01:42 sekjal would be easy to pull in content from a Kete into Koha directly, as we saw yesterday
01:42 richard joined #koha
01:43 sekjal have dynamic connections for the help files, perhaps
01:43 wizzyrea_ well frankly, we should be doing that *already*
01:43 nengard, have you done much work in those internal help files?
01:44 wizzyrea_ left #koha
01:44 wizzyrea_ joined #koha
01:44 wizzyrea_ that was kind of a random disconnect
01:44 wizzyrea_ is now known as wizzyrea
01:46 sekjal another benefit: if we find that we need to stretch Kete to make it meet our needs, we're contributing to a sister system
01:46 wizzyrea do note I'm not opposed to kete-koha
01:46 sekjal I do realize it would duplicate a lot of what's in the wiki
01:46 but don't we get a lot of folks lamenting dealing with wiki syntax?
01:47 wizzyrea yes, indeed we do
01:47 sekjal my understanding is that Kete has a lower barrier for entry
01:48 richard left #koha
01:50 wizzyrea that's probably true, wiki syntax sucks and does take time to learn
01:52 chilts can anyone let me know what that script is (I think) which sets up your machine to serve from your Git checkout?
01:53 wizzyrea anybody have some tylenol? Ms. Wagner is in dire need :/
01:53 chilts some kind of install thing
01:53 wizzyrea Makefile.pl sets dev vs. standard install
01:53 is that what you're thinking of?
01:56 chilts yeah, sounds like it
01:56 so perl Makefile.PL, make, then make install ... and it'll ask me what type of install I want?
01:56 (sudo make install) :D
01:56 wizzyrea yea, makefil.pl should ask you what kind you want
01:56 chilts excellent, thanks wizzyrea
01:56 wizzyrea Makefile.pl
01:56 that is :)
01:56 sekjal Makefile.PL
01:56 actually
01:56 wizzyrea >.<
01:56 chilts yup, saw that :)
01:56 wizzyrea what he said, lol
01:57 * wizzyrea just undertook the cleanup of the lenny install docs, and should have gotten that right. Vacation has addled her brain

02:31 chilts :)
02:31 slef cait: do you say kebaps?
02:31 cait no, not really
02:31 bengard also, nengard's pretty awesome, huh?
02:31 * cait is not a big fan of kebabs
02:32 wizzyrea she's amazing ^.^
02:32 you might be biased though
02:32 bengard me? no way!
02:33 cait biased or not, he is right
02:33 jungle joined #koha

02:38 magnus hear, hear
02:38 slef moo!
02:39 robin-hom joined #koha
02:40 wizzyrea I just checked it, it's on every page of the manual
02:44 Nate left #koha
02:44 nengard awws shucks :) you're all so nice :)
02:44 slef couldn't resist the will anyone pay call
02:44 I should really
02:45 * slef naughty
02:50 nengard hehe :)
02:50 i didn't mind
02:50 i've had much worse heckling at talks before :)
02:51 robin-hom left #koha
02:52 alan left #koha
02:52 alan joined #koha
02:52 slef I warned russel about that
02:54 nengard okay my nose is smelling a sandwich now -- the cinnamon roll was better ;)
02:55 cait hm, cinnamon rolls
02:56 wizzyrea spud's favorite
02:58 nengard did he get one this morning?
02:59 darling i think they're not highly available here
02:59 some nz sweets blind spots exist
03:00 nengard darling they are at breakfast - not the kind i'm used to at home - but they are cinnamon rolls
03:00 darling cool!
03:00 dang, now I'm hungry
03:01 wizzyrea no, I'm thinking that maybe what wellington *really* needs are proper cinnamon rolls
03:01 and since there aren't many
03:01 you can do it relatively badly and still do ok :P
03:01 braedon you guys are obsessed
03:01 wizzyrea (it takes hard work to mess up cinnamon rolls properly)
03:01 darling braedon, only on the important things
03:02 * wizzyrea makes totally passable cinnamon rolls
03:02 darling well pass some over here then
03:02 wizzyrea lol
03:02 * cait wants one too
03:02 * braedon will take 5
03:02 * nengard doesn't bake, but i can do the pillsbury rolls
03:02 nengard totally craving sugar now - oh - i had a 'american style' brownie at lunch
03:02 wizzyrea someone get me a kitchen, stat >.>
03:02 nengard it was yummy
03:03 darling brownies here can be very miss -- tend to be too dry to bite
03:03 cait I have a microwave in my room
03:03 but no oven :(
03:03 darling you can do a lot w/ a microwave
03:03 bengard ovens in hotel rooms typically end in catastrophic fire, I'd guess
03:03 robin-hom joined #koha
03:04 darling bengard, deep fryers too
03:04 wizzyrea our old room had a convection oven/micro
03:04 I miss that place :/
03:04 bengard also campfires
03:04 wizzyrea blowtorches
03:04 bengard flamethrowers
03:04 wizzyrea arc welders
03:04 braedon breeder reactors
03:04 wizzyrea nuclear submarines!
03:05 nengard oh boy - you guys got him started
03:05 bengard ICBMs!
03:05 wizzyrea Saturn rockets!
03:05 bengard Star Destroyers!
03:05 wizzyrea Scramjets!
03:05 bengard wait, Star Destroyer beats Scramjet!
03:06 sekjal Starscream?
03:06 wizzyrea ... a solar sail 1000km wide? I don't think so
03:06 or wait... sorry, that's focused radiation
03:06 braedon super star destroyers?
03:06 bengard there you go
03:06 Death Stars!
03:06 that's no moon!
03:06 braedon moons?
03:07 wizzyrea /facepalm
03:07 ok ok you win
03:07 bengard ;)
03:07 slef huh?
03:07 cait lol
03:07 wizzyrea things that cause fires in hotel rooms
03:07 bengard that just means I'm a bigger geek
03:07 slef I look away and it goes all star wars on me.
03:07 wizzyrea that might be true
03:08 darling i hope you all were minding the presentation also
03:08 nengard you're distracting me - can't blog a talk if i'm paying attnetion to you all :)
03:08 wizzyrea is that the ruler slap, teacher
03:08 slef yeah, koha authoritative body to licence training, eh?
03:08 license even
03:08 darling the cert topic is interesting
03:08 slef I blame they tiny keyboard
03:09 the even
03:09 wizzyrea that's a pretty library
03:09 cait made a note to ask my library school about a koha workshop
03:09 * cait remembers it was all talk and we never really got to play with something
03:09 bengard hey, that's awesome
03:10 slef ooh another rfid user
03:10 wizzyrea cait: should be much easier for them to install now that it's packaged for debian
03:10 slef I think he told me that at coffee
03:10 cait yeah, or we can use one of our installations
03:10 slef I'm dizzy with all the rfid interest.
03:10 wizzyrea seriously, do no other koha libraries transit reserves with RFID?
03:11 or it really works ok for everyone else?
03:11 cait slef: lots of interest and use in rfid in Germany too
03:11 use of...
03:11 wizzyrea because to hear the complaints from my only RFID library you'd think the whole thing was esplodey with nuclear proportions
03:12 slef but is everyone else using proprietary or bespoke staff terminal devices
03:12 ?
03:12 wizzyrea actually, the RFID isn't the problem. It's the SIP that's the problem. So I should probably be more accurate
03:13 the RFID works fine
03:13 slef sip works
03:13 wizzyrea HA
03:13 slef except when it doesn't
03:13 cait like everything
03:13 slef then debugging is hell
03:13 wizzyrea ^^ that
03:13 add on the fact that I don't have direct server access and I might as well be blind in the dark.
03:13 slef sip seems expensive to debug :-/
03:14 wizzyrea blind in the dark anyway really. Hrmph.
03:14 cait it's difficult because you have to work with another company, can't test it all yourself
03:14 slef maybe I should offer to write a sip debugger for koha
03:14 * cait spend days on creating test cases for vendor
03:14 wizzyrea yes. But... I've just hatched an idea
03:14 slef but lots easier to do in hackfest
03:15 cait slef: I think my coworker has something
03:15 slef and I doubt catalyst has a selfcheck handy for hacking
03:15 cait he can simulate sip requests, probably written in python
03:15 slef yeah but debugging koha is not the problem
03:15 sekjal if the community could agree on a set of standards for 'certifying' any given training program, anyone could offer up an accreditation for a training against those standards
03:16 slef it's figuriong out what the self check sends and why
03:16 wizzyrea kansas has just struggled through that re: general library training
03:16 slef and why koha doesn't like that
03:16 cait sekjal: why do we need that?
03:16 sekjal not saying we need it
03:16 but we could do it
03:16 if we wanted to
03:16 cait but shouldn't we have a reason to do it?
03:16 wizzyrea I think it's a fine idea
03:17 cait or perhaps I don't get it
03:17 slef cait++
03:17 sekjal our presenter brought up the idea, so at least someone out there is thinking of it
03:17 slef I almost commented when ptfs suggested ksf employing ppl to manage the community... like why do we want to pay bosses to whip us?
03:18 we beat ourselves up to go faster enough anyway
03:18 just not always in ptfs's direction
03:19 cait sounds like adding a new barrier to me
03:19 sekjal I'm just saying that if the community can agree on some general things that make a good training program, we could publish that list
03:19 cait and who will certify people in other countries?
03:19 sekjal then, if anyone does a training, someone else (anyone) can compare the program against the list to see if it jives
03:19 and anyone else can verify that verification, and so on
03:19 web of trust
03:20 cait hm, tutorials for trainers sound like a good idea
03:20 check lists or something
03:20 slef train the trainers
03:20 sekjal yes
03:20 wizzyrea Yea, that's handy
03:20 braedon but who will train the trainer trainers?
03:20 sekjal nengard

04:57 kmkale Hi all
04:58 IN the enhanced content syspref it says "NOTE: if you have more than one source of cover images set up, Koha will use the first available. " but if I have Amazon AND Google cover images enabled, It displays both. How to prevent that?

06:20 kmkale chris so the note displayed is a bug?

11:46 anyone about running fines.pl and then overdue_notices.pl who could verify the resulting notices are incorrect
11:47 * chris_n listens to the sound of the echo of his voice slowly die away in the distance
11:48 kmkale incorrect how chris_n ? I am running fines & overdue
11:48 chris_n on the first day the item is overdue, the notice shows a fine of $0.00 which is incorrect, yet the patron's account shows $0.25 which is correct
11:51 kmkale I can verify tomorrow. That library is closed for the day by now.
11:51 chris_n kmkale: thanks
11:51 me thinks there is a bug
11:53 kmkale chris_n: gmcharlt: sorry for repeating my question but  In a retrospective conversion of bib data to Koha where would I put Invoice Date, Invoice No, Order Date, Purchase Order Number?
11:53 * chris_n is afraid he is not much help there
11:54 gmcharlt kmkale: such data wouldn't be embedded in the bib record; you'd need to populate tables like aqorders directly
11:55 kmkale gmcharlt: ouch! was afraid of that answer

11:56 kmkale One more on Enhanced contents syspref page it says "NOTE: if you have more than one source of cover images set up, Koha will use the first available."
11:56 miguelxer left #koha
11:56 kmkale but in OPAC if cover images are available from both Amazon & Google it displays both. Bug?
11:57 gmcharlt yes
11:57 syspref description is currently incorrect
11:57 kmkale So display of multiple images it the correct behavior?
11:59 gmcharlt define correct :)  however, having it display just one image and query multiple sources, a la the syspref description, seems like more desirable behavior
12:00 kmkale somehow seems wrong. If an image is found it should stop.. chris earlier said it was one js unaware of the other & needs a code change.
12:02 gmcharlt right
12:02 doing some revamping of the book jacket code would be a good thing

14:43 brendan alright - I need some help with some logic here
14:43 let's say I pull a record in via Z3950 and it's already got some 952's info in there
14:43 in acq that is
14:43 ebegin joined #koha
14:44 brendan of course the extra items will not show in the opac of staff details view - but if I go to item-editor I can see all those extra items in there
14:44 should a bit of logic be added somewhere?
14:45 gmcharlt it should either be stripping the 952s or creating real items
14:45 brendan a good example is here --> http://catalog.paine.edu/cgi-b[…]iblionumber=57480
14:45 look at the MARC view
14:45 gmcharlt a random Z39.50 server likely won't have 952s that mean anything to the library
14:46 but if a vendor is provding a MARC file of reords to order from, they potentially could be creating item records for the library
14:46 brendan right it doesn't mean anything to normal views - but going into the item-editor -it's got 10 extra items
14:47 so some logic to the Add to Order for Z3950 - that it shouldn't pull in 952's ?
14:47 I think that wouldn't be helpful
14:49 gmcharlt would or wouldn't?
14:49 brendan I'm not sure that's where my logic is failing me
14:50 like you said - reorders or going to a vendor with Z3950 then it could be helpful to have the 952 already in there?
14:50 gmcharlt well, that's a matter for the profile that the library has set up with the materials vendor
14:50 brendan would acq even recognize a reorder (item info) in the 952
14:51 so reorder don't do that in acq.  but in normal staged marc records

17:48 someone had to stay behind :)
17:49 drulm Drat, sorry to hear that! :) Well good job holding down the fort.
17:51 brendan I hear that everyone is having a great time though
17:54 chris i think im gonna have to change a lot of statuses today
17:54 brendan from what to what?
17:54 you talking git?
17:54 and good morning chris

17:55 koha statuses .. to damaged :)
17:55 brendan ah - says the brown cow
17:55 chris i think a few people had big nights
17:55 brendan heh
17:55 gmcharlt lol
17:55 * chris went home and got some sleep, feeling a lot more human today
17:56 brendan create a new status - of "slighty hungover" or "this person is done"
17:56 chris heh
17:56 gmcharlt they may not appreciate that when filling out their expense forms ;)
17:56 brendan or "this person needs to shower"
17:56 chris heh
17:57 brendan for Nate - "silly little hobbit"

18:06 drulm OK, progress on a koha mapping project - & working on a Javascript shelf selector to allow Koha admins to put multiple different shelf markers on a map - and animate automatically without creating 50 animated Gifs
18:06 Here is a video demo link: http://www.screencast.com/user[…]bb2d-e5c2970c689c
18:07 Started working on it, but got too caught up in the grant PC project (we landed 50 new PCs for patrons - big grant) took lots of time
18:07 Questions? Comments? :)
18:07 brendan pretty cool drulm
18:08 I'd have to play with it to get you any useful comments
18:09 drulm It is coming. NEU library in Turkey did this 3 years ago, but made a different custom animated gif for *each* location - So I want to make a rectangle selector to allow a library to quickly create location mapsby just showing where the shelves are and then animate the rectangles overlayed on the map
18:09 brendan yeah that sounds to be more useful - than the NEU method
18:10 drulm A collection of 50 locations could be done in an afternoon for a library with only a few maps - using the javascript library, there could even be selectable animations since they are so easy to do- librarians like choices!
18:12 Here is NEU grand: http://library.neu.edu.tr/cgi-[…]ha/opac-search.pl (click a barcode) - the current stuff I coded can do that now, but only if I want to manually create about 80 animated gifs or flash -

18:37 Was a great presentation
18:38 Kohacon in nigeria within the next 10 years he says :)
18:38 jcamins Yeah, I heard.
18:39 I wasn't sure if he was Skyping from Nigeria or Singapore (was it Singapore he was trying to transit through?).
18:39 chris The airline wouldn't refund him, so to go through singapore would have been another 5k us
18:40 jcamins Well, so much for my optimistic next question - "did they at least give him a refund?"
18:41 chris we are going to try and get him the transit visa, keep pushing there
18:41 And then he can use the ticket and we run a mini conf
18:41 jcamins Oh, that makes sense.
18:43 chris Be a shame to waste the money
18:44 jcamins It certainly would be.
18:46 chris: I'm not sure this is clear from my commit messages, but -- in case anyone wants to poke at the easy cataloging interface -- the fix for bug 5311 is needed for the interface to correctly populate the language selector.
