01:23 jcamins What can one do with slightly toasted ricotta?
01:23 chris lasagne?
01:24 its gonna get baked anyway, whats a bit of toasting on top
01:24 jcamins Good idea.
01:24 This saag isn't going to work.
01:25 (the paneer all turned to mush when I took it out of the freezer)
01:25 chris ahh bummer
01:34 jcamins So in case anyone here was wondering how to safely freeze paneer, the answer is definitely sautee *before* freezing.

03:36 Amit heya chris
03:37 chris hi Amit
03:37 jcamins Why does git think that "git send-email" isn't a command?
03:37 chris cos you dont have git-email installed
03:37 apt-get install git-email
03:38 jcamins chris++ # I knew chris would be able to tell me how to fix everything
03:40 Uh-oh.
03:40 It wants to install off the CD.
03:40 chris you are probably gonna want to edit /etc/apt/sources.list
03:40 in that case
03:40 theres probably some gui for it
03:40 wizzyrea_ might know
03:41 jcamins There we go.
03:41 I wonder why it did that. I didn't install off the CD.
03:46 How do I change the e-mail address of a commit?
03:48 Ah. git commit --amend --author
03:49 chris :)
03:50 jcamins @later tell nengard I sent you a patch for the documentation. I noticed I left a few ANS-specific fields in the cataloging cheat sheet.
03:50 munin jcamins: The operation succeeded.
03:51 jcamins And now that I've done that, I'm going to go pretend that I'm not spending my entire holiday weekend working. ;)

13:23 slef I've an unusual bug report here, asking for the opac and intranet catalogue search results displays to be made more consistent.  Seems like this should be a known bug if it's general - anyone know it, or could the librarian have messed up some setting?
13:32 magnus "more consistent" in look & feel or in the hits that are displayed?
13:32 slef in how the hits are displayed: which tags/subtags
13:33 kf slef: there is no xslt for results in intranet
13:33 if they use that, it will vary a lot
13:33 and it's known that some things are missing, subfields from 245 - but you can use the keyword-to-marc-mapping under administration to make them show
13:33 slef I think they are non-xslt, but I will check that.
13:34 Their particular example was Series Title, subfields from 400.
13:34 kf not sure 400 is shown
13:34 slef I'll look at keyword-to-marc-mapping.  Where is it known?
13:34 kf it's new in 3.2
13:34 under administration
13:34 slef Ah, that won't work for this one yet.
13:34 kf you can add fields, use keyword subtitle
13:35 slef 3.0+customisations
13:35 kf ah ok
13:35 slef thanks both... bbi60ish
13:36 kf slef: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd4xx.html 400 seems a bit strange to me - not 490?
13:37 slef actually, I've another 5mins
13:37 kf: the whole bug report smells bad to me, so it wouldn't surprise me.
13:38 look, 400 is historical :-/ but still not title
13:38 very odd
13:38 ok, I'll look at xslt and query their tag number :)
13:38 kf :)
13:41 slef thanks 1000

17:52 munin slef: The control number assigned by the organization creating, using, or distributing the record. The MARC code for the organization is contained in field 003 (Control Number Identifier). []

18:12 slef Should C4::Biblio::GetXmlBiblio regenerate from the marc if the marcxml field is incomplete?
18:13 (I know it doesn't at the moment, but I just made it do so to fix a problem at one library and I could submit it.)
18:14 I'm wondering if there's a nasty drawback to doing that, though.
18:18 chris Well you might want to report it did that, there is a chance there might have been data in the xml that wasn't in thr marc
18:19 Unlikely but we should provide feedback that we did that I guess
18:22 @wunder wellington nz
18:22 munin chris: The current temperature in Wellington, New Zealand is 14.0�C (7:00 AM NZDT on November 26, 2010). Conditions: Partly Cloudy. Humidity: 88%. Dew Point: 12.0�C. Pressure: 30.06 in 1018 hPa (Rising).
18:22 slef If the marcxml field is incomplete, we can't read it except by hand.
18:22 chris Yep
18:23 But we'd want to report that and fix
18:23 And then find out how the xml became incomplete
18:24 Else we risk masking a problem would be my fear
18:24 Cloudy my butt, its a gorgeous morning
18:26 So in short I think its better than not doing it slef
18:27 But we should somehow alert the user and tell them to ask their it to check the logs
18:27 Or something
18:36 slef chris: it'll be cloudy in 20 minutes.
18:36 I know how the xml became incomplete. One source keeps sending records which claim to be MARC-8 but are actually Latin-1.
18:37 Trouble is, once the record has been imported into Koha, Koha barfs on most operations.
18:37 chris Yup
18:38 Recreate from the marc, and warn it did so seems fine to me
18:38 Better than asplode
18:49 slef It'll still explode because the MARC binary is wrong too, but at least we should be able to delete it and recatalogue.
18:49 Warn how? A note in the new MARC to look in the logs, and dump the old one to the error_log in a warn?
18:50 chris something like that
18:53 slef ok, I've a bit more work to do then :-/
18:53 time to get dinner now, though

21:44 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3777 trivial, P5, ---, katrin.fischer, NEW, Field Sizes Inconsistent
21:44 chris cool
21:46 cait we have a lot of different data types there
21:48 I will sort the similar fields together and make a suggestion
21:49 chris good idea
21:49 cait mediumtext is bigger than text, right? so it's probably not safe to change mediumtext to text?
21:49 chris text is pretty damn huge
21:51 ie 64k
21:51 cait so ok to change some mediumtexts to text?
21:52 chris yes
21:52 cait just asking - you are the one to accept the patch :)
21:52 not sure I got it right - but I think text does not take as much resources as mediumtext
21:52 chris whats one that is mediumtext now?
21:52 cait because it's as big as its content?
21:52 an example:
21:52 201   `title` mediumtext,
21:52 236   `contacttitle` text,
21:52 chris yeah thats retarded
21:53 4gig for a title
21:53 if someone has a title that long, they need a new job
21:53 sorry 16MB
21:54 cait still veeery big
21:54 chris yes
21:54 16MB of text is huge!
21:55 cait more fun:
21:55 199   `surname` mediumtext NOT NULL,
21:55 251   `altcontactsurname` varchar(255) default NULL,
21:55 250   `altcontactfirstname` varchar(255) default NULL,
21:55 200   `firstname` text,
21:55 chris yeah, all of those could be varchar imho
21:55 255 is a lot of characters for a surname :)
21:55 but certainly no need to be mediumtext
21:56 richard text?
21:56 ibot text is probably pretty damn huge
21:56 richard gotta love ibot
21:56 chris :)
21:58 cait ok, will do my sorting and than someone can help me choose the right data types perhaps?
21:59 hilongo joined #koha

22:00 ibot it has been said that chris is craving coffee
22:00 cait ibot botsnack cookie
22:00 ibot thanks cait :)
22:02 chris yeah, thatd be fine
22:04 pastebot "cait" at 92.230.133.112 pasted "borrowers table" (56 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/106
22:06 cait we have three surname , firstname combinations - and varchar(255), mediumtext and text for them
22:07 chris heh
22:08 cait this is not the only case
22:08 a lot of fields default to null - others not
22:11 * cait is confused
22:15 hilongo hello there!
22:16 Hope you're all ok :)
22:17 Does anyone know if there is work being done about "fines in days" instead of money?
22:18 I know there is some work storing a date in the members table, in the 'debarred' field
22:19 But we need something more than that .. and I was about to start developing (or try to) the functionality we need
22:19 cait hilongo: better ask paul or hdl about it - but I think there was some work done
22:20 there is an rfc: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]days_debarred_RFC
22:22 chris its in 3.2
22:22 If your library 'fines' patrons by suspending their account you can enter the number of days their fine should be suspended in the 'Suspension in Days' field
22:22 cait we don't have the sys pref
22:22 chris dont need it
22:23 hilongo yes ... I tried that ... and works fine
22:23 but we need some more functionality ... like the posibility of track how many times a patron was suspended ...
22:24 or the interface to reduce the 'sentence'  :)
22:25 chris http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Category:RFCs
22:25 hilongo same things you can do with money fines ...
22:26 yeah ... I read that page ... I was about to start the work... but asked around first... so maybe something was already cooking  ;)
22:27 chris make sure you start the rfc and announce it before you start any work
22:27 then if people are working on it, they will let you know
22:27 hilongo point taken
22:28 * hilongo starts writing a pretty and clear RFC ...
