| 03:17 | Oak | Hello BrookeenTauride :) |
| 04:18 | BrookeenTauride | Double duty free jewelry allocation ftw! 20k Rupee allowance = doable. |
| 04:33 | Oak | we have very nice jewelry in India and Pakistan :) you'll love it. |
| 04:34 | BrookeenTauride | yoink! |
| 04:34 | you guys dig gold way more than me, though | |
| 04:35 | admittedly, I am after your rubies >.> <.< | |
| 04:35 | Oak | oh well, mostly parents buy gold jewelry for their daughters |
| 04:35 | because it's like a security bond... things get tough, sell the jewelry (after marriage I mean) | |
| 04:36 | * BrookeenTauride | nods |

| 06:10 | Agent_Dani | Tentatively CS but...I'm evaluating. |
| 06:11 | I'm more after the piece of paper and do need to consider what will work with my existing credits - I got 54 credit hours to transfer this time. | |
| 06:11 | Oak | ah |
| 06:13 | Agent_Dani | I have an associate degree and a bunch of credits beyond. |
| 06:14 | But, a lot has changed in the 17 years that have passed since I earned that degree. | |
| 06:18 | Anyhow, it's my bedtime. Nini | |

| 20:36 | libsysguy | hey #Koha |
| 20:36 | has anybody messed with the import_borrowers script? | |
| 20:48 | druthb joined #koha | |
| 20:48 | druthb | o/ |
| 20:52 | libsysguy | hi druthb |
| 20:52 | what are you up to today? | |
| 20:53 | druthb | This and that around the camp. Went into lancaster for supplies earlier |
| 20:54 | libsysguy | out of the good ol' tp and MRE's |
| 20:54 | :D | |
| 20:54 | druthb | Listening to the rain right now |
| 20:54 | libsysguy | sounds like nap time to me |
| 20:55 | druthb | Went to a little mennonite farm stand earlier for veggies and baked stuff |
| 20:56 | libsysguy | get anything good? |
| 20:56 | do you pay with cash? | |
| 20:57 | druthb | Fresh picked sweet corn...bell peppers, small pack of chocolate chip cookies |
| 20:57 | Yep...cash only | |
| 20:57 | * libsysguy | loves cookies |
| 20:57 | is a fat kid at heart | |
| 20:57 | druthb | These are very tasty |
| 20:58 | libsysguy | homemade cookies are even better...so i can imagine that those are super good |
| 21:00 | druthb | This is an interesting place. You cannot avoid interacting with the amish and mennonite folk here. They are a quiet, serious folk, but very friendly and sincere. Smile, and they smile back. |
| 21:01 | libsysguy | so better than the city where everybody gives you that "i'll shank you smile" |
| 21:02 | druthb | Their way of life would seem strange to most modern people, but it has much to recommend it. Low stress, slow pace... |
| 21:03 | libsysguy | i take it most of them like it |
| 21:03 | i mean if they leave they are shunned right? | |
| 21:03 | druthb | They lose a few as they grow up, sure...it is not for everyone. |
| 21:04 | libsysguy | fair enough |
| 21:05 | druthb | Their faith is quite foreign to me, but their lifestyle resonates with this buddhist |
| 21:06 | I try not to upse | |
| 21:07 | Upset their horses when I pass them on the roadways | |
| 21:07 | :) | |
| 21:07 | libsysguy | do you drive fast druthb |
| 21:08 | druthb | Nope. I am very laid back behind the wheel, and rarely in any hurry |
| 21:10 | libsysguy | you might have a heart attack riding with me then |
| 21:10 | * libsysguy | drives pretty aggressively on his motorcycle |
| 21:10 | druthb | Heh |
| 21:12 | I used to have a motorcycle. | |
| 21:14 | libsysguy | really? what kind? |
| 21:15 | druthb | 1980 Suzuki Gs850gl. |
| 21:15 | Big heavy shafty. | |
| 21:16 | libsysguy | yeah i see that |
| 21:16 | this is mine http://www.bikewalls.com/pictu[…]_01_1920x1200.jpg | |
| 21:16 | druthb | Ooooo. |
| 21:17 | libsysguy | yeah its a lot of fun :) |
| 21:17 | druthb | If I was to get another bike, I would go for a shadow or a vstar |
| 21:17 | libsysguy | i had a shadow before i had this one |
| 21:17 | it was a little small for my taste | |
| 21:18 | but it was still fun...and nice to have a windshield | |
| 21:18 | druthb | :) my gs was a nice commuter cycle |
| 21:18 | Decent on the highway too | |
| 21:19 | libsysguy | yeah the gas mileage is super nice |
| 21:20 | druthb | Yep. My current ride gets a dismal 14. Big pickups are like that |
| 21:20 | libsysguy | yeah that is what my dad says about his f250 |
| 21:21 | my little honda car gets about 27-29 | |
| 21:21 | druthb | Mine is the chevy equivalent...K2500 |
| 21:21 | libsysguy | 4x4? |
| 21:22 | druthb | Nope. Big service body. Used to be owned by a water utility. |
| 21:22 | libsysguy | ohh gotcha |
| 21:23 | druthb | All the storage is nice. ;) |
| 21:23 | libsysguy | are you pulling a camper with it? |
| 21:23 | druthb | Not yet |
| 21:23 | libsysguy | :p |
| 21:23 | have you bought one yet? | |
| 21:23 | druthb | Not yet |
| 21:23 | < | |
| 21:24 | * druthb | is a tenting nomad |
| 21:24 | libsysguy | heh...is lindsey camping out with you? |
| 21:25 | druthb | Yep. We have a wizard tent. She has her room and I have mine... |
| 21:25 | libsysguy | and cookies...don't forget those lol |
| 21:25 | druthb | 3 room cabin tent... :) |
| 21:27 | libsysguy | complete with fireplace? |
| 21:27 | druthb | Not this model. |
| 21:29 | libsysguy | aww |
| 21:30 | Anna says Hi! | |
| 21:30 | druthb | Hi Anna! |
| 21:31 | libsysguy | she is sad there haven't been any new blog updates :'( |
| 21:32 | druthb | I am gonna write a long one tonight or tomorrow |
| 21:32 | libsysguy | uuu ok I'll tell her |
| 21:32 | druthb | Pics of campsite and of me after makeover |
| 21:33 | libsysguy | exciting!! |
| 21:34 | druthb | :) |
| 21:35 | libsysguy | so im trying to rewrite the import borrowers script to work in the shell |
| 21:35 | druthb | That would be handy for migrations |
| 21:37 | libsysguy | i know...it is also going to be handy for me since we will be updating valid patrons everynight |
| 21:39 | druthb | :) |
| 21:39 | libsysguy | penny is super strick about who can check out books |
| 21:39 | apparently its a big deal | |
| 21:39 | druthb | Sheesh |
| 21:40 | wizzyrea | so you have to add *and* delete every night? |
| 21:40 | libsysguy | yeah so we can only checkout to students who are "currently registered" if they drop then they lose their privileges |
| 21:40 | and yes...but im thinking about adding or blocking | |
| 21:41 | wizzyrea | oh boy. |
| 21:41 | libsysguy | instead of deleting |
| 21:41 | druthb | Hi wizzyrea |
| 21:41 | libsysguy | i know....its a scripting nightmare |
| 21:41 | wizzyrea | well you could set the expiration date on the patrons |
| 21:41 | that wouldn't be too hadr | |
| 21:41 | hard | |
| 21:41 | to be the day before today | |
| 21:41 | so they'd be expired, but still existent (and subsequently easy to reinstate) | |
| 21:41 | libsysguy | thats true...but the hard part is finding the ones that are no longer in the "feed" i get |
| 21:42 | wizzyrea | oo yea |
| 21:42 | what do you get? | |
| 21:42 | libsysguy | oh...and not touching the courtesy patrons |
| 21:42 | wizzyrea | a list of names? |
| 21:42 | student ID numbers? | |
| 21:42 | libsysguy | cardnumbers |
| 21:42 | yeah | |
| 21:42 | studentid's | |
| 21:42 | and emails | |
| 21:42 | wizzyrea | student ID = cardnumber? |
| 21:42 | libsysguy | yes ma'am |
| 21:43 | wizzyrea | how many in each file? |
| 21:43 | libsysguy | about 6500 |
| 21:43 | wizzyrea | ouch. |
| 21:43 | libsysguy | yeah...ouch |
| 21:43 | major performance killer | |
| 21:43 | wizzyrea | hm |
| 21:44 | libsysguy | yeah...im still trying to figure out the logistics of how its going to all fit together |
| 21:45 | ill probably write a separate disable script | |
| 21:45 | wizzyrea | it would be a handy script to be able to update any patron attribute from a list of cardnumbers |
| 21:45 | druthb | Load all the koha card numbers into a hash then remove the ones from the incoming file..expire what is left |
| 21:45 | wizzyrea | ^^ |
| 21:45 | druthb is quite brilliant | |
| 21:45 | libsysguy | druthb++ seriously |
| 21:46 | you should have a slogan | |
| 21:46 | * druthb | is insane. But it helps |
| 21:46 | libsysguy | druthb - simply amazing |
| 21:46 | wizzyrea | druthb is also quite brilliant |
| 21:46 | wahanui | okay, wizzyrea. |
| 21:46 | wizzyrea | druthb? |
| 21:46 | wahanui | druthb is probably currently convincing the amish that they need to web 2.0 or quite brilliant |
| 21:46 | druthb | :P |
| 21:46 | wizzyrea | :) |
| 21:47 | ok gotta get out for a few | |
| 21:47 | libsysguy | ok laterz wizzyrea |
| 21:47 | druthb | Let me switch to full size keyboard to flesh out idea.. Brb |
| 21:50 | druthb joined #koha | |
| 21:50 | druthb | :) better |
| 21:51 | here's my thinkin', libsysguy: grab all the valid non-expired students, and put their cardnumbers in a hash. $patron{$cardnumber} = 1; Then spool thru your file... | |
| 21:52 | if exists $patron{$incoming_cardnumber}, then update the borrower, and set $patron{$incoming_cardnumber} = undef; | |
| 21:52 | libsysguy | right...setting all the matching hash vals to 0 |
| 21:52 | druthb | if !exists, then it's a new one; add the patron. |
| 21:53 | libsysguy | so you were thinking this should go in the import patrons script? |
| 21:54 | druthb joined #koha | |
| 21:54 | * druthb | glares at her cell modem |
| 21:54 | libsysguy | hehe |
| 21:54 | which one do you have? | |
| 21:54 | druthb | sprint u600 |
| 21:55 | libsysguy | ahh |
| 21:56 | druthb | works pretty well. camp wifi is okay, but busy. |
| 21:57 | libsysguy | as expected i suppose |
| 21:58 | druthb | yep |
| 21:59 | libsysguy | what kind of laptop do you have druthb |
| 22:01 | druthb | gateway n214. runs great! |
| 22:02 | libsysguy | i didn't know if you were like nengard |
| 22:02 | with the mac | |
| 22:03 | druthb | most of bywater is a mac shop...a couple are running ubuntu, and talljoy and I are running windows. |
| 22:03 | * libsysguy | dualboots ubuntu and windows |
| 22:04 | druthb | bg will pretty much get us what we want. (and, natch, my hardware costs a *third |
| 22:04 | libsysguy | but since the new unity plugin in ubuntu i've used it less |
| 22:04 | druthb | of what a mac does. |
| 22:04 | libsysguy | I've been thinking about getting a macbook air |
| 22:04 | druthb | I've got a virtualbox running debian in here, for koha workin'. |
| 22:04 | libsysguy | mmm vbox goodness |
| 22:04 | druthb | :) |
| 22:07 | well, I'm gonna boogie, and go cook up some dinner. may reheat some leftovers before they go bad on us. | |
| 22:08 | be well, libsysguy...good to talk to ya. :) | |
| 22:10 | libsysguy left #koha | |
| 22:46 | davidnind joined #koha | |
| 22:49 | Irma left #koha | |
| 23:51 | druthb joined #koha | |
| 23:51 | druthb | o/ |
| 23:51 | * druthb | is about to completely lose her Zen and freakin' go OFF. |
| 23:53 | * Agent_Dani | offers druthb a hug before that. |
| 23:54 | druthb | thanks, Agent_Dani |
| 23:56 | my daughter has a mantra that seems to be helping her-- "I will never procreate...I promise never to procreate...." | |
| 23:56 | jcamins_away | :) |
| 23:57 | druthb | It is not rational behavior for four adults to bring four spoiled preschoolers camping. Can we get them committed to an institution for their foolishness? |
| 23:58 | foster the children away somewhere outside Pennsylvania, so I won't have to listen to their shrieking.... |
