00:25 munin gmcharlt: Quote #38: "<owen> Holy Bugzilla activity explosion, Batman!" (added by ricardo at 10:00 AM, October 07, 2009)
00:28 chris apt
00:28 jcamins Heh. That Bugzilla activity explosion apparently coincided with the ANS's decision to migrate to Koha.
00:30 jransom joined #koha
00:34 Brooke joined #koha
00:34 Brooke yo
00:35 jcamins Greetings. I enjoyed the newbie's guide to Koha.
00:35 * Brooke feels certain Chris has been distributing kool aid...
00:35 Brooke thank you
00:36 jcamins I even knew who wrote it before I looked at the history. ;)
00:36 Brooke I've to slap considerably more into the knew one
00:36 new even
00:36 jransom hi everyone
00:36 Brooke kia ora
00:42 chris im too busy drinking kool aid to distribute it
00:42 Brooke a likely story.
00:42 * Brooke should just give in and go patrol NYC with her bud.
00:45 jransom I love that newbie's guide Brooke
00:48 Brooke glad you're pleased
00:51 * slef extracts his own teeth with a USB plug... it's got to be more fun than creating a technical committee.
00:51 slef Anyone remind me: can we email into existing bugs?
00:52 jcamins slef: I'm sure it could be worse.
00:52 Speaking of which...
00:52 Anyone want to go to my budget meeting on December 9? I've been informed that it's "impossible to predict how long it will be."
00:52 Brooke I'll go
00:53 chris yes we can slef
00:53 Brooke my arse is capable of withstanding any length of meeting
00:53 chris http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3[…]api/email_in.html
00:54 bug-submit@bugs.koha-community.org
00:54 slef chris: thanks. I'm going to try auto-feeding patches links into bugs.
00:54 jcamins Brooke++ # for writing a newbie guide and offering to go to my budget meeting
00:54 chris have a try ... I *think* it works
00:54 * jcamins goes to eat some dinner
00:54 slef I'll test it slowly.
00:55 chris lemme know if it bounces or anything and ill take a look
01:06 * chris_n thinks perhaps folks need to participate in the present venues of discussions/proposals/decision-making/etc. prior to inventing new venues
01:09 Brooke meh, I think a proper forum wouldn't kill people
01:09 and uh, if one of those ratbag Americans would index some shtuff, shtuff would be easier to find
01:09 slef It's so tempting to flame individuals involved in the discussion for their own failings when ... OH YEAH!
01:09 I was watching the BBC Breakfast news this morning
01:09 and the sports presenter called one of the anchors a ratbag
01:09 robin I propose the pub down the road and round the corner from Catalyst as a venue.
01:10 I'm sure everyone will be in favour.
01:10 slef I have it recorded.  Worth trimming and posting?
01:10 Brooke ++ robin
01:10 slef robin: depends if you'll pay expenses ;-)
01:10 robin slef: if you really thought your views mattered, you'd make it here ;)
01:10 richard slef: was the presenter an australian?
01:10 Brooke also, ye've to slide me past Immigration
01:10 slef richard: no, pretty sure not. Let me get his biog.

01:13 gmcharlt slef: the email gateway to bugs.k-c.org. does indeed work
01:13 I tested it last week
01:13 slef gmcharlt: I'm automating spamming it then :)
01:13 gmcharlt slef: just make sure that the recipes for the enhancement products are all open source, then :)

01:15 Brooke 0.0

01:38 Topic for #koha is now Koha - www.koha-community.org.  Next general meeting 10 November 2010 at 19:00 UTC+0.  This channel is logged.  Pastes at paste.koha-community.org

01:41 * gmcharlt searches for a lawn to tell the kids to stay off of
01:41 Brooke heheh
01:41 jcamins What's with the recent influx of CGI::IRC visitors?
01:42 Brooke They figured that Catalyst was in the red light district and came to see the show.
01:48 chris if anyone at ptfs ever listened to anything i said
01:48 id ask them again, to remove it
01:48 jcamins Interesting fact: if you search ISTC in Google, the Incunabula Short Title Catalog is not on the first page of results.
01:49 robin who woulda though, eh?
01:49 gmcharlt jcamins: clearly you have a lot of googlebombing to do
01:50 jcamins gmcharlt: I suppose so!
01:50 Brooke crap missing the Rachel Maddow Show. This cannot stand!

02:10 slef http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2965 shows an example of the patches-list-linker - how far back into the past should I run it?
02:10 munin 04Bug 2965: enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, srdjan, ASSIGNED, Allow the user to specify due dates in the past
02:12 robin slef: oh, that's what your spamming is in aid of. Good stuff.
02:12 jcamins slef: ooh, nifty.
02:14 slef robin: jcamins: thanks.  It's another thing started during hackfest which I didn't get time to finish.
02:16 jcamins @later tell nengard How did you learn to use LimeSurvey? I am finding it unintuitive, and the documentation isn't really clearing much up for me, which makes me think that you must have read different documentation.
02:16 munin jcamins: The operation succeeded.
02:18 jcamins slef: so how does that work? You recursively download the mailing list archives and search for the string "Bug [0-9]\{1,4\}"?
02:18 slef jcamins: nothing recursive, but basically yes.
02:18 jcamins: then it checks the bug to see if the patches archive URL was already linked, and sends mail to the bug if not.
02:19 jcamins: I search the archive html index page for the pattern /\b[Bb]ug (\d+)/
02:20 jcamins Ah, that makes sense.
02:20 slef Anyone an opinion on how far back to link? Just October? Further back?
02:20 * jcamins doesn't have an opinion
02:21 wizzyrea_ joined #koha
02:23 slef wizzyrea: how much should I spam bugzilla? A little, a lot or massively? :)
02:23 chris not massively
02:23 robin also maybe restrict to open tickets
02:23 wizzyrea_ dk, it's hosted in a different place from the website ;)
02:23 chris cos then ill miss someone saying that the branch i asked them to test is good
02:24 and will miss merging it
02:25 maybe a few a day until you catch up, so i dont ahve 10 million bug emails to read tomorrow :)
02:26 slef robin: good idea.
02:29 chris_n slef: please comment on my thread on the dev list :-)
02:29 * chris_n wonders where thd-away` is
02:29 slef bug 5194
02:29 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5194 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, katrin.fischer, RESOLVED FIXED, Patron notification on new issues not working
02:29 slef ok, I have exclusion working
02:29 chris_n joe and I will run out of breath soon
02:30 slef chris_n: which thread?
02:30 chris_n A Discussion on A Policy Setting Forth Standards of Code Submission, etc.
02:32 jcamins chris_n: not to get off-topic, but have you been reading eighteenth century literature recently?
02:32 * chris_n often reads from that century
02:34 jcamins chris_n++ # for, on top of everything else, having awesome taste in literature
02:37 bankhead left #koha
02:42 chris_n slef++ # patches-list-linker
02:42 tnx jcamins :)
02:51 slef chris_n: just found your thread! You didn't say it was a subthread.
02:51 chris_n sorry
02:51 * chris_n is busy just trying to keep it out of the depths of the list :-)
02:56 * jcamins curses LimeSurvey
02:57 jcamins I spent all that time writing a welcome screen, and it's gone.
02:57 I mean, everything I wrote is still in the database, but there's no welcome screen anymore, now that I've activated my survey.
02:58 Ah-ha! There's a cookie or something, so you can only view it once.
02:59 chris_n the cookies strike again...
02:59 jcamins Mmm... cookies...
03:00 * chris_n 's wife has been baking sweet-potatoe, cream-cheese bread all day
03:01 jcamins Oh.
03:01 It's a setting.
03:01 And also a cookie...
03:03 richard left #koha

04:07 hdl How are you ? wake up late ?
04:07 Brooke insomnia cures jet lag
04:07 get with the programme!
04:07 wizzyrea_ it's not so much late tonight, but the last few days have been pretty brutal
04:07 with daylight savings switch piled on top like a moldy cherry on the jetlag sundae
04:08 Brooke yeah, that was a bit of a bitch
04:08 hdl what a tasty one ;)

08:27 francharb left #koha
08:30 larsw chris, a common malady is that you don't have time to do anything productive because arguing on the Internet takes all your time
08:31 which reminds me, I should ignore a few more mailing lists and Atom feeds :)
08:35 chris :)
08:35 im loving branchable btw
08:36 larsw chris. cool :)
08:36 chris great service from joey when i locked myself out of my account (space at the front of the openid url)
08:36 i think it was about 1 hour until i was up and going again :)
08:38 larsw we strive to provide great service, but that was a happy accident of timing :)

09:53 kf: wanna see something kinda cool?
09:54 magnus guten tag, kf
09:54 chris http://opac.koha.workbuffer.or[…]?biblionumber=595
09:54 might take a while to load, but check out the open library tab
09:54 kf chris: I always want to see cool things
09:54 fighting with my travel bills right now
09:54 complicated
09:54 chris it should be pulling in related subjects
09:54 from open library
09:55 magnus OL-tab? cool!
09:55 bigbrovar left #koha
09:55 kf it was fast
09:55 wasabi joined #koha
09:55 kf it is kind of cool
09:55 but I am not sure how to use it
09:56 can they be linked to find more in my catalog?
09:56 chris yep
09:56 thats the next step
09:56 kf ok, now it is cool :)
09:56 magnus agreed! ;-)
09:56 kf it was cool before... but you know what I mean!
09:56 chris gimme 10 mins
09:56 magnus i'll give you 9,5 chris...
09:57 wasabi hey, thanks for the IRC email to the dev-list magnus...
09:57 magnus np wasabi
09:57 wasabi i really appreciated your thoughtfulness
09:58 :)
09:58 magnus wow, thanks! ;-)
10:03 wasabi i'm just *not* going to reply to that fucktarded list email
10:05 chris http://opac.koha.workbuffer.or[…]?biblionumber=595
10:05 check it out now
10:05 should have links that search the catalogue
10:07 wasabi open-library stuff?
10:07 chris yep
10:07 it fetches the list of related subjects according to openlibrary
10:07 and then uses that to search your koha
10:07 was just trying out their new api
10:08 but now i know how to do it, i could do something more useful, like use it to tune the recommendations
10:08 kf hm, but it will only search in the subjects in the title, right? not in the open library subjects?
10:09 chris what?
10:09 kf you make a search in su - the index for subjects
10:09 chris yes
10:09 kf but really really cool would be if it would use the subjects from open library :)
10:09 wasabi it pulls related-subjects from OL
10:09 chris using the subject headings fetched from open library
10:09 * kf knows she is terrible
10:09 wasabi click
10:10 chris you mean search openlibrary?
10:10 thats easy
10:10 what it is doing, is finding the subjects we have in our catalogue
10:10 then for each of those
10:10 finding the related subjects from openlibrary
10:10 and making them a link to search the catalogue
10:11 the bold ones are the subject headings in our catalogue
10:11 the linked  ones are the ones from open library
10:12 magnus way cool!
10:12 chris those links could easily be links to openlibrary instead of local search
10:12 but i figured people would most likely want to stay inside their catalogue
10:12 magnus one problem is: you might get subjects from OL that gibe zero hits in local opac...
10:13 s/gibe/give/
10:13 chris yep
10:13 magnus e.g. http://opac.koha.workbuffer.or[…]pl?q=su:OverDrive
10:13 chris its quite likely on my small catalogue
10:14 but this was just to prove i could get the subjects :)
10:14 magnus what would also be cool is if you could "enrich" all the records in koha with subjects from OL, and then search those added subjects too
10:14 chris i dont think id actually use them like this
10:14 you could easily do that
10:15 for anything that had an isbn
10:15 you could make that a step in cataloguing, fetch subjects from openlibrary
10:15 magnus hm...
10:16 do they have subjects in more languages than english?
10:16 chris to make them searchable you'd have to add them to the marc record
10:16 probably not
10:19 http://openlibrary.org/developers/api
10:19 so ive got subjects and covers working now
10:20 books is the one you would use to enrich the data about a work
10:21 but that will do for tonight, i had to do it, as george evil laughed at me :)

10:27 * magnus can't help thinking that rdf is a better "substrate" for enriching data than marc...
10:28 chris stabbing myself in the eye is better than dealing with marc
10:28 but until we convince the rest of the world to stop using it, we are stuck with it
10:29 magnus sigh... yeah
10:30 unless we could hide "something better" in the background and just import and export marc...
10:30 chris that was my original plan
10:31 people were concerned about it being a lossy conversion
10:31 personally i think there is a pile of stuff we could lose .. and make the world a better place

15:34 was talking about the cold that involves a red nose and lot of tissues :)
15:35 jcamins Oh.

15:49 jwagner Hi everybody
15:49 jcamins Hi jwagner
15:49 wizzyrea hey there
15:49 cait hi jwagner :)
15:49 jwagner++ # for delivering postcards :)
15:50 jwagner And you'll notice that the accompanying item made it through intact :-)
15:50 druthb cait++ # for sending
15:50 jwagner But cait, I think I could do without your cold....
15:51 Although mine is probably due to Qantas having extremely cold air blowing in the plane for the entire flight.  Three blankets and a scarf around my head weren't enough.
15:51 cait jwagner++ # for smuggling chocolate into the us ;)
15:51 jwagner Customs seemed more concerned about where I marked on the form that I'd been on a farm.
15:51 Didn't want me smuggling in mad cow disease I guess.
15:52 * jwagner thinks the cows I encountered were more hungry than mad
15:53 cait you were at a farm?
15:53 jwagner A tourist version thereof -- the Agrodome in Rotorua.  Lots of sheep, cows, ostriches, emus, alpacas, ducks, geese, pigs, etc. etc.
15:54 The sheep shearing and sheep herding demos were interesting.  I grew up on a farm with cows, so I'm not real interested in them -- been kicked & stepped on too many times for that.
15:55 cait aaaw
15:55 * cait wants to go back to nz
15:55 jcamins NZ has some of the best wool.
15:55 jwagner Although I got a picture of one of the cows that's the same breed we had for a milking cow.  Reminded me of old days -- morning cereal was never the same after we stopped having fresh-from-the-cow milk.
15:56 * jwagner definitely wants to go back to nz!
15:59 * cait *sighs*
15:59 * jcamins wants to go to NZ in the first place!
16:00 jwagner jcamins, it's definitely worth the trip, despite the horrible flight.  But allow at least 2-3 weeks, if not more -- there's too much to see and do, and things are pretty far apart.
16:02 wizzyrea or just go more than once
16:02 * jcamins prefers both!
16:02 jwagner That would be good too :-)
16:02 cait chris said he will not organize another kohacon...!
16:03 * jcamins doesn't blame him
16:03 jwagner That's OK, it means we can use the entire time for sightseeing!
16:03 * jcamins thinks planning a 2-hour seminar is hard enough!
16:04 owen joined #koha
16:05 nengard joined #koha
16:06 cait jcamins: a 2 hour seminar, 2 weeks hackfest and 3 weeks sight seeing?
16:06 jcamins Hello, nengard and owen
16:06 jwagner cait, I'd go for that :-)
16:06 jcamins cait: oy!
16:07 Seriously, I had *no* idea how hard it is to make invitations.
16:07 I thought "gee, how hard can it be? We just need to send invitations to a few hundred people."
16:07 nengard hi jcamins
16:08 * druthb waves to owen and nengard
16:08 wizzyrea getting the addresses alone is oi
16:08 * owen ducked out to listen to a webcast on the budget prospects for Ohio libraries under the new governor
16:09 jwagner prospects bleak?
16:09 owen Hint: New gov. wants to eliminate the income tax.
16:09 wizzyrea !!!!
16:09 double eww tee eff
16:10 jwagner I have never understood why people can't grasp the simple concept -- if you want services, you have to pay for them.
16:11 wizzyrea because from our childhood we are taught that we are entitled to whatever we want without having to give anything back?
16:11 jwagner Dunno about you, _I_ was never taught that!
16:11 But parents like mine seem increasingly scarce these days.
16:12 * wizzyrea was being snarky
16:12 * jwagner knows, just grumbling at modern conceptions of parenting
16:12 jwagner Including the parent in the seat across from me on the LA-DC flight :-(
16:13 wizzyrea i'm happy to say that we only had one flight where spud was even remotely annoying.
16:13 the rest he happily watched videos or looked out the window or napped.
16:14 jwagner Kids his age aren't so much the problem -- I didn't mind (too much) the baby crying on the Auckland-LA flight because babies do cry & there's not a lot you can do.  But school age kids who never stop whining and fussing from the moment they get on the plane are another matter.  Grump.
16:15 slef wizzyrea: better than being grumpy :-/
16:16 I'm sure I opened this window to write something.  Now I'm distracted.
16:16 jwagner Isn't that the purpose of this IRC?
16:16 slef Oh yeah, on returning to the UK, I noticed three things that NZ doesn't do so well: pork, chicken and road junction priorities.
16:17 jcamins Pork, chicken, and road junction priorities?
16:17 slef Yep.  Other than that, it was home from home with more dramatic landscapes.
16:17 jwagner Don't remember having much pork or chicken, but what I had was delicious.  Road junctions are another matter.  Even if I can remember to drive on the other side of the road, I always have trouble with roundabouts.
16:18 dafydd joined #koha
16:19 slef Their roundabouts were a bit freaky, with strange lane discipline (right lane for straight ahead???) and staggered stop lines, but it was the unmarked Ts and Xs that got me.
16:20 Actually, even marked Ts were strange, with traffic turning right off the through road having priority over things turning left off.
16:20 * wizzyrea is so glad she never had to drive
16:20 slef I was happy I only failed to take priority when I had it, rather than the reverse!
16:21 I did have one trucker seriously cross as he waved me on.
16:21 * cait remembery a very angry driver in a roundabout in scotland 2 years ago
16:21 slef cait: huh? We have the same rules as you, IIRC!
16:21 cait we had a rental car and he had no idea that we were not Scottish
16:22 * jcamins avoids driving abroad
16:22 cait you drive at the wrong side
16:22 slef no, you do :)
16:22 cait and we dont have this more than one lane roundabouts
16:22 nengard driving was only scary when the slide of the cliff was right at my wheels ...
16:22 slef cait: seriously?  I never noticed that.
16:22 nengard the rest was a piece of cake in comparison
16:22 cait we were doing something wrong about that, but we didn't find out what it was :)
16:22 it was a really big roundabout in inverness
16:23 slef cait: did you turn off from the inside lane?
16:23 cait perhaps we did
16:24 I have no idea )
16:24 slef as in from the lane nearest the middle of the roundabout
16:24 cait but I was really happy that I had no driver's license, so nobody could force me to drive :)
16:25 jcamins cait: very sensible.
16:25 * jcamins denied having an international driver's license when he was in Scotland... it seemed more pleasant to be a passenger
16:25 cait but I helped shouting: leeeeft!
16:25 jcamins Safer to close one's eyes when one isn't the driver. ;)
16:28 cait nah, it was fun
16:35 jwagner I have driven in England.  The last time, the rental car escaped with only minor injuries.... The problem wasn't remembering which side of the road to be on, it was that the roads were so narrow, with no shoulders or any place but the hedgerow to go when a large truck is coming at you.
16:37 slef Some roads are a bit narrow.
16:37 You learn to time reaching wide bits at the same time as oncoming traffic, or backing up or facing down.
16:38 It's fairly simple to spot drivers through the narrows on the road into the village who aren't used to them - they're the ones who pick the hedge instead of a gap.
16:39 There is one narrow road I try to avoid.  It's an A road but has too many trucks and buses using it.
16:40 SatNavs love it, though.
16:49 Brooke joined #koha
16:50 Brooke yo
16:50 jwagner slef, yet another fun part of driving in England was the disconcerting habit people had of parking in the middle of the road.
16:50 wizzyrea slef: is that the road that went through the tiny town that tried to get itself taken off the map in order to reduce sat-nav generated traffic?
16:51 slef wizzyrea: actually no, but that's not far from here.
16:52 wizzyrea: it's about 15 miles north from that one.
16:52 wizzyrea hee!
16:52 slef wizzyrea: the problem with Wedmore isn't narrows, it's historic buildings on tight bends.
16:53 wizzyrea slef: Ah! No wonder they wanted to get rid of the trucks and what-not vibrating their buildings apart
16:53 jcamins Whoops.
16:54 jwagner Reminds me of one place I visited last time -- where my dad was stationed in WWII.  He was with 3rd Armored Division, and the villagers still remember those Yanks trying to navigate tanks through narrow streets and around tight corners.
16:54 slef wizzyrea: Wedmore only has B roads, so trucks wouldn't use it except for satnavs making low-quality straight B roads seem faster than less direct but faster and easier A roads.  Wainfleet (All Saints?) in Lincolnshire used to have similar problems and that was a Z-bend on an A road.
16:54 * jcamins just realized that he's been happily working around a fully-functional "clone subfield" feature all day.
16:54 jcamins chris_n++
16:54 owen++
16:54 (for the work both of them did in making the clone subfield feature work)
16:55 wizzyrea chris_n++ owen++
16:56 Brooke how's the "clone developer" feature going?
16:57 jcamins Brooke: you were nominated to develop it. You tell us. :)
16:57 Brooke I pushed it to Chris
16:57 go ask him :P
16:57 chris hey, i helped make 2 new ones at hackfest
16:58 cait hehe

17:10 jwagner Thanks.
17:10 * Brooke is slowly syncing up video presentations on the wiki.
17:11 hdl congrats druthb
17:11 druthb Thanks, hdl.    :)
17:12 jcamins druthb: are congratulations in order? If so, congratulations.
17:12 druthb jcamins, I'll let you be the judge of that; opinions may vary.  I have been persuing a legal name change, which was finalized by the court on Friday.
17:13 jcamins Oh, congratulations!
17:13 druthb thanks.  :)
17:13 jcamins That's wonderful news! Now you just have to spend the next gazillion years trying to get everyone to correct our name. :)
17:14 *your
17:14 druthb yup.  A few key documents will make a lot of inroads on that; I really haven't had much trouble with day-to-day stuff.
17:15 A passport trumps a lot of other documents in this country, so despite not needing to travel out of the country, I may well get one, as it is possible to get one with the gender-marker on it that I want.  *shrug*
17:18 jcamins And apparently it doesn't actually matter if the name on your bank accoutns and credit cards matches your legal name.
17:18 druthb The bank records have my (now out-of-date) legal name, but I have a debit card with my (former alias/now legal name) on it.
17:19 But a copy of the court order will correct the discrepancy, I am told.
17:19 jcamins I have a bank account which is in a name that was never mine, and it doesn't seem to trouble the bank (though I find it rather troubling).
17:20 druthb I would find that troublesome, yes.
17:20 jcamins And I never even changed my name.
17:21 Anyway, that's wonderful news. :)
17:32 Brooke k
17:32 someone tell me how I'm meant to change the default messaging preferences for a given patron category

17:34 cait what's the login?
17:34 Brooke and my wee cursor will not get into a box. I only have one drop down for advance notice, and I've checkboxen at the side. Is this a switch that needs an "on" elsewhere in parameters?
17:34 wizzyrea bywater/bywater
17:34 cait oh
17:34 wizzyrea you added one?
17:35 and you click edit?
17:35 cait that's great - I have seen that too, but it vanished
17:35 wizzyrea and you don't see the default messaging preferences?
17:35 cait it's great that someone else is seeing it too :)
17:35 wizzyrea: the table is broken
17:35 Brooke yep
17:35 wizzyrea weird, it's not in my one that's tracking master
17:35 cait hm, but I am seeing it in German and the language chooser is not there
17:36 Brooke the submit itself might be wonky, but I've not been circling like a hawk, so it could well have timed out. Reloading it.
17:36 cait wizzyrea: yeah, that was my problem, saw it in one of our installations but couldn't reproduce it
17:36 and I think it vanished at some point after updating
17:36 hm. I think after I recreated the database
17:37 Brooke *nod*
17:37 the form's taking now
17:37 druthb Brooke, hard to tell, but there may be something awry with the message_transports, that's normally what causes the pulldowns for email vs sms to appear, unless there have been big changes in that area.
17:37 Brooke but I still can't jigger with the table
17:37 I will just tell people to blissfully ignore it for now
17:38 wizzyrea hmmm
17:38 that seems odd

17:50 slef erm, that makes it harder :)
17:50 jcamins nengard: ... I'll comment when you get back.
17:51 * Brooke thinks it would be the bee's knees to have a firebug style interface to parameters
17:51 jcamins o.O
17:51 That would be a lot of work.
17:52 Brooke it would ultimately save a lot of work
17:52 jcamins Yes, true.
17:52 Brooke and it would make the interface a lot more user friendly
17:52 plus
17:52 firebug is theoretically open source
17:52 unlike say erm cover flow
17:53 which would also be neat and a lot of work
17:53 jcamins ... I think I'm thinking about something completely different from what you are.
17:53 Brooke no
17:53 those are two completely different ideas :D
17:53 cait jcamins: don't worry, I think it's normal
17:53 jcamins I was going to say "even better would be to make the behavior predictable."
17:53 * cait hides
17:54 jcamins cait: lol
17:54 cait I got lost at the bee's knees
17:55 jcamins cait: "really great"
17:55 cait strange
17:55 owen Don't worry cait, it's a pretty old-fashioned usage

18:50 owen when you click the "inspect" button, does the "HTML" tab become active?
18:50 nengard nope
18:50 DOM
18:50 should i click html first and then inspect
18:50 wizzy_lun can you click the html tab?
18:51 nengard i can
18:51 and when i do i get it
18:51 until i click inspect and it goes back to DOM
18:51 wizzy_lun can you then inspect
18:51 weird. do you possibly need an update to either firebug or firefox?
18:51 nengard i can try
18:53 reinstalling firebug
18:54 and the same thing is happening
18:55 * cait would really like to stand behind nengard and see her screen right now
18:55 cait it's so much easier that way
18:55 wizzy_lun :/ yea
18:56 there's always logmein
18:56 wizzy_lun is now known as wizzyrea
18:56 wizzyrea almost as good
18:56 owen Something is definitely wrong with your setup nengard, but I can't think what
18:56 nengard bleh
18:56 wizzyrea I'd try chrome
18:56 it's basically got firebug built in
18:56 nengard yup - jcamins said that
18:56 gonna do that now
18:57 wizzyrea that's kind of the nuclear option
18:57 but, it will work
18:57 and there you can right click -> inspect
18:57 sometimes you have to do it twice, I've noticed
18:57 jcamins And then you'll have Chrome, which is kind of cool.
18:58 chris_n slef is so very colorful :-)
18:58 "If you don't want people to be suspicious, don't walk softly behind them with knives, even if you're just making sandwiches."
18:58 cait yeah
18:58 owen nengard: wizzyrea's comment makes me wonder whether in Firefox you have an "inspect" option when you right click
18:58 cait that was a good one
18:58 * chris_n will now be very careful when making sandwiches from now on
18:59 nengard owen - why yes I do!!!
18:59 and it does open in the HTML window but It's a blank HTML window
18:59 i mean HTML tab in firebug
18:59 owen nengard: Could you have a conflicting addon maybe?
18:59 wizzyrea your thing has about got to be busted somehow
19:00 * wizzyrea wonders if she could be *more* vague
19:00 druthb "It doesn't work!"
19:00 jcamins "Something doesn't work!"
19:01 nengard hmm - much more info in chrome :)
19:01 owen "Thingy no worky!"
19:01 jcamins "Broke!"
19:01 cait the machine is broken
19:01 * druthb has had support tickets from a Koha customer that were nothing more than "it doesn't work."  She finds those...un-useful.
19:02 owen I like the reports that say: "Koha wasn't working, so we restarted the computer..."
19:03 wizzyrea I had one the other day
19:03 "a dropdown isn't working"
19:03 ...
19:03 nengard hehe
19:03 wizzyrea which drop down?
19:03 cait very helpful g
19:12 @karma committee
19:12 munin cait: committee has neutral karma.
19:13 jcamins Go figure.
19:13 @karma budget_committee
19:13 munin jcamins: budget_committee has neutral karma.
19:13 jcamins !!!
19:13 cait @karma ie
19:13 munin cait: Karma for "ie" has been increased 0 times and decreased 13 times for a total karma of -13.

19:18 chris back
19:18 cait wb chris
19:18 chris spent the bus ride talking to a forensic accountant policewoman, who works in the money laundering unit
19:18 best bus ride ever!
19:19 wizzyrea !!
19:19 cait wow
19:19 * cait wants to go back to nz...
19:19 cait but would probably not understand her...
19:20 trea joined #koha
19:20 jcamins A forensic accountant policewoman? Wow, I didn't know there was such a thing. That almost makes accounting sound interesting.
19:21 chris yeah, think of them as csi, for money
19:24 was an interesting talk

19:34 chris threads_that_jump_the_shark--
19:35 cait hm, first bee's knees and now chris wants to jump a shark...
19:35 owen This conversation really gets my goat
19:36 And that's straight from the horse's mouth!
19:36 * chris_n thinks that's mighty corny owen
19:36 jwagner cait, another pop culture reference.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_the_shark
19:36 cait owen: grrr
19:36 ;)
19:37 jwagner or Bah, to tie in with my earlier comments about sheep :-)
19:38 * druthb groans.
19:38 chris larsw: added to my toread list :)
19:38 larsw chris, :)
19:38 * larsw needs to learn to read faster
19:41 eternalsw I'm having trouble allowing holds.  I have made sure there are good values under circulation rules.  I've made sure OPACItemHolds is set to Allow as well as AllowOnShelfHolds.  When I try to make a hold through opac, it comes up with "This title cannot be requested"  If I do it through the admin panel, it says the user has too many holds.  The user doesn't have any holds.  The group the user is part of is set to be able to have 5 holds
19:41 that item type.  Any ideas?
19:42 cait I heard you need to add a default rule to koha now
19:42 but have not tested it yet
19:42 wizzyrea eternalsw: what version?
19:43 cait wizzyrea: good first question.. should go to bed
19:43 eternalsw version 3.2 using the repository for debian squeeze.
19:51 adding in the default item worked, however this overrides the rules for the other items.
19:51 * druthb leaves to catch the bus.

20:27 nengard cool!

20:28 sekjal joined #koha
20:28 magnus perhaps the mailman is reading them as we speak?
20:28 hiya sekjal!
20:28 Brooke hi sekjal
20:28 chris hey sekjal
20:29 sekjal hi, everyone!
20:30 safe journeys for those of you I met at KohaCon?
20:30 chris yep, barring nate, everyone is back home
20:31 sekjal hopefully he's having a good vacation
20:31 jwagner Long and tiring trip home.  Maybe I should just move to NZ :-)
20:31 sekjal jwagner: definitely considered it, myself
20:32 jwagner heh heh
20:32 wizzyrea anybody know how "the question" went?
20:32 sekjal the answer was "yes"
20:32 wizzyrea speaking of nate
20:32 YAY
20:33 jcamins brendan said that Nate was getting married, so I think the answer must have been "yes."
20:33 * wizzyrea pops a cork for Nate
20:33 jcamins Either that or there's quite a story.
20:33 Or you're talking about a different question entirely, and brendan mentioned that unrelated to "the question." ;)
20:35 wizzyrea !!
20:37 loving the openlibrary PoC. That is wicked awesome.
20:37 (proof of concept)
20:37 * jwagner is going home now -- still trying to shake off jet lag
20:37 wizzyrea chris++
20:37 chris at some point i might make it actually do something
20:37 more useful
20:37 sekjal g'night, jwagner!
20:38 wizzyrea well, the fact that you can get the subjects from such a complete source is pretty sweet
20:38 jwagner left #koha
20:39 chris well its related subjets
20:39 bold is our subjects, the links are what open library thinks are related subjects
20:39 wizzyrea but their algorithm for determining related subjects is pretty great
20:39 chris http://git.workbuffer.org/cgi-[…]heads/openlibrary
20:39 its there, fwiw
20:40 * Brooke smiles broadly
20:41 Brooke now just make the related subjects dance like liveplasma
20:41 http://www.liveplasma.com/
20:41 cooler than aquabrowser's diagramming
20:41 sekjal oh, right, diagrams!
20:41 speaking of
20:42 got that map of C4's dependencies enhanced a bit
20:42 cycles highlighted in red
20:42 chris_n sekjal: where's it at?
20:42 sekjal on my laptop right now... going to grab that and post
20:42 will link once it's up
20:42 wizzyrea something like this with openlibrary subjects would be cool too
20:42 http://www.literature-map.com/
20:44 Brooke that map is less sexy than aquabrowser
20:44 * Brooke craves lines.
20:45 * wizzyrea doesn't like lines… too messy.
20:45 * Brooke also <3s differing sizes
20:45 wizzyrea differing sizes I can agree with :)
20:46 aw, I liked that plasma visualizer until they drew in the lines :P
20:46 aside: huh. no wonder my music collection looks like it does.
20:47 sekjal ah, got to do a git-pull and regenerate the map... there have been commits since I got home
20:48 chris meeting time
20:48 bbiab
20:48 jcamins is now known as jcamins_a
20:52 * owen doesn't find aquabrowser useful
20:54 eternalsw I managed to fix my issue.  in /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Reserves.pm line 409, I changed '*' to '".$biblio->{itemtype}."'
20:55 wizzyrea you should submit that as a patch
20:55 eternalsw what's the diff format
20:55 sekjal http://bywatersolutions.com/wp[…]p-new-colored.pdf
20:56 * wizzyrea 's head explodes
20:56 sekjal it's still huge... but can be picked through a little easier
20:56 I'm seeing a cycle between C4::Reserves, C4::Search and C4::XSLT
20:57 jcamins_a What's the red?
20:58 sekjal red lines should be highlighted cycles
20:58 jcamins_a Ah.
20:58 sekjal I might be missing some highlighting... but its at least a LITTLE more readable than the original
20:59 next step is to strip out all the modules that aren't both used and using, simplifying the view a lot
21:03 owen left #koha
21:04 eternalsw anywhere to find patching guidelines?  I see coding guidelines, but I need to know the diff flags required for the patch generation.
21:04 wizzyrea we use git, if that helps
21:05 Brooke this is for doc patches
21:05 https://lists.koha-community.o[…]istinfo/koha-docs
21:05 I know nicole has info for patch patches somewhere
21:05 cause she like just linked it to me
21:05 jcamins_a koha-patches@lists.koha-community.org I think.
21:06 To create a patch you commit the changes in git, then do git format-patch -1
21:06 Brooke Reporting and patching Koha bugs can be a simple process if you follow the many tutorials on the wiki and mailing lists. For those who are all ready to start patching, here are the steps you want to follow:
21:06 Report a bug (or enhancement)
21:06 Make yourself the assignee for that bug and change the Status to ‘Assigned’ so that others know you’re working on the bug
21:06 Write your patch and send it to the patches list
21:06 Change the bug Importance to ‘PATCH-Sent’ and attach your patch to the bug
21:06 Following these simple steps will keep everyone in the loop as you work on and fix bugs/features in Koha.
21:07 from http://koha-community.org/koha[…]ue-8-august-2010/
21:07 wizzyrea also this: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Control_Using_Git
21:07 see: share your work
21:08 eternalsw guess I'll set up another machine for development then :D
21:10 gmcharlt always a good idea in any case
21:11 * Brooke suspects gmcharlt's cave is full of naught but blinking leds and boxen of chocolate...

22:19 eternalsw: there are scripts to build packages from git
22:19 so you can do you work in your repo, and deploy via packages
22:19 which is what we try to do at my work
22:20 eternalsw great.  I'll be sure to take a look at that.
22:21 chris robin is the best person to talk to about that
22:21 robin eternalsw: in the debian dir is 'build-git-snapshot'. That's a good place to start.
22:22 eternalsw: also: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]g_Debian_Packages
