06:22 Oak but I did one book that night and it took me about 20 minutes. it was a Low Price Edition (Indian) and I could not find it's ISBN anywhere... on LOC, or Amazon etc.
06:23 I mean it *had* an ISBN on back, but on Internet there was no detail related to that ISBN
06:24 there was book with same title same edition on Internet - Amazon, LOC, but it had different no. of pages etc

13:34 mbalmer hi cait
13:34 cait hi mbalmer
14:38 * jcamins_away decides to put a label "Jack not live/reterminate in lr" on the CATV jack in the bedroom.
14:42 jcamins_away Anyone here who has installed an F connector on coax recently?
14:45 * mbalmer doesn't even know what an F connector is, despite being a licensed radio amateur...
14:46 jcamins_away mbalmer: don't worry, I found someone on another channel who did.
14:46 cait glad you did
14:46 hope you are careful, we need our fudgemaker :)
14:54 cait-m__ joined #koha
15:05 jcamins_away I successfully closed the cable up, *without* needing to replace the connector.

15:23 cait I guess that's good?
15:23 I killed the irc app on my phone
15:23 *sigh*
15:26 mbalmer as for KohaCon, I will arrive wednesday evening (one day of conference should be enough for a non librarian) and then stay for the hackfest.
15:26 and leaving monday 11.

15:38 chris_n mbalmer: what's your callsign?
15:38 mbalmer HB9SSB
15:39 chris_n KU4DD here
15:39 mtj ha, one from the vaults... -> http://web.archiveorange.com/a[…]Lh4HK5JtYxUymNwho
15:39 chris_n SSB... nice
15:39 do much HF work?
15:40 mbalmer heh, cool to know there are other hams ;)  mostly QRP
15:40 mtj it sure is interesting to read the old mailing-lists archives with 20/20 hindsight
15:41 chris_n mbalmer: our campus club is in the process of putting up a ~30m of Rohn 55g with a very nice array of HF antennas at the top
15:41 jcamins KC2PZA. Never actually used a radio.
15:41 chris_n jcamins: cool
15:42 mbalmer chris_n, sounds really nice.
15:42 jcamins, oh, one more ;)
15:42 chris_n a tornado took out the last one
15:47 "LibLime has, from our inception in 2005, contributed back 100% of the code
15:47 we've created because we believe in the community process and we strive to
15:47 set an example for other support organizations."
15:47 interesting bit of history
15:47 jcamins Hehe.
15:47 chris_n emphasis on the word "history"
15:49 cait yeah
15:51 chris_n interesting thread mtj
15:51 it screams in hindsight
15:57 mtj its pretty much the first hint of joshua's greedy plans to OWN KOHA!
15:57 KOHA (tm) and (c)
15:59 cait mtj: are you looking for something? or why searching history? :)
16:01 mtj i was looking at the increase of bug traffic on kc.org -> http://web.archiveorange.com/a[…]ve/listinfo/2BelB
16:01 cait ah
16:01 ohwow
16:01 we have been busy
16:01 mtj ... and got side-tracked by that fascinating trip down memory-lane ;)
16:03 mbalmer …  we've given everything we have to this community
16:04 (quoted from above)
16:04 mtj and, oh - the 'general' koha mailing-list is missing from orange-archive -> http://web.archiveorange.com/a[…]ha-community.org/
16:05 cait mtj: but hopefully we have learned from it: http://koha-community.org/koha[…]ark-usage-policy/
16:08 mbalmer koha.org is not beautiful.  imo it hurts the eye
16:16 mtj anyone that cant research the difference between K0HA.org and kc.org... is probably not gonna do very well using Koha anyway :p
16:17 mbalmer when I started with Koha, I though koha.org was it, until I was pointed to kc.org.  It is stupid they use koha.org, I think even for their customers.
16:17 jcamins mtj: but why would anyone look the difference up in the first place?
16:18 cait mtj: I think researching is perhaps not the problem - but people don't expect it to be 2 different things
16:18 mbalmer exactly.
16:18 mtj yeah, perhaps you are right !
16:19 mbalmer koha.net is takes as well.
16:19 koha.com, too
16:20 jcamins Yup. The same company bought up ll the addresses like that.
16:20 k-c.net too, I think.
16:20 mbalmer wow, even koha.ch is registered.
16:21 by a domain grabber
16:21 that asshole want's EUR 1500 for koha.ch
16:21 mtj ... its just a way for me not to get too upset about people probably seeing lib-stupid's site first , and thinking 'this is just a pretend open-source project run by a single company' bye bye...
16:22 mbalmer mtj, if you know open source, you soon realize that koha.org can't be it.
16:22 but still.
16:23 chris_n interesting to see what josh has ended up doing: http://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuaferraro
16:23 mtj but... anyone that is slightly serious about Koha, usually finds the mailing-lists... then *reads* the mailing lists, and then works it out :)
16:23 mbalmer … or goes to koha.com and starts playing hockey...
16:24 somehow koha is a bad name, it's some work in kosovo: http://www.koha.net/
16:25 mtj chris_n:  my guess is not working in the open-source or ILS market ? :)
16:25 chris_n quote: "Traveling the world in search of sexy biotechnology projects with potential to improve human healthspan (healthy longevity)"
16:26 sounds sort of like a profession bum
16:26 mtj ... or a coca-cola(tm) sales-person ?
16:27 mbalmer or just a plain moron?
16:27 "Angel Investor, Entrepreneur, Bio-hacker"
16:28 mtj hey, apple hired that pepsi guy, why not the other way round?!
16:29 woo, i'm actually sposed to be doing some work now-ish... :/  i'm gonna switch back
16:31 all this talk of sexy human potential is distracting me terribly
16:32 ... sexy angels investing in improving my potential longevity
16:32 mbalmer and I'd like to know how to turn of the blue LED on the front panel of an Intermec EasyCoder PF4i printer...
16:34 mtj http://www.intermec.com/produc[…]pf4i/manuals.aspx
16:35 mbalmer I have the manuals, but there is no info on it.
16:36 jcamins mbalmer: soldering iron?
16:36 mbalmer yeah ;)
16:37 mtj ah, bummer :/   it sure looks like a snazzy little machine :)
16:39 cait mtj: for your bug - it's mapped to copyrightyear
16:39 and unimarc maps to publicationyear
16:39 in most places Koha accounts for that
16:39 but it is a bit of a mess... and if we want to change it, we have to take care of existing installations
16:39 bug 7822
16:39 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7822 normal, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , bibitems.publicationyear is not mapped to 260$c for MARC21 frameworks
16:41 mtj cait:  hmm, i dont think so?    260$c is not mapped to anything, on my fresh 3.6.4 koha
16:42 cait hmm
16:42 weird, let me check
16:42 mtj i havent looked properly, it was just a quick-bug - so i did not forget.. :)
16:42 cait I had problems with that before
16:42 so thought to share what I found :)
16:43 mtj no probs... i'll look later too :)
16:43 cait http://git.koha-community.org/[…]e1b469d1bc5#l1036
16:43 I checked - it is
16:43 perhaps you unmapped it by accident?
16:47 jcamins Ooh, "book" is trademarked by Facebook!
16:49 mtj cait: oops, you are right - yeah, i might have accidentally unmapped it :)
16:51 cait I still think you are right.... having the same mapping for unimarc and marc21 would be nice :(
16:51 only complicated to clean up
16:53 mtj: will you be in edinburgh? :)
16:54 I mean publicationyear would make more sense
16:57 mtj yeah, i agree
16:58 and no for scotland  -  i was planning on coming... but have recently decided not too :/
16:58 i still feel like i've just got back from india!
16:59 specifically around my tummy area :p
17:01 slef hi all
17:07 cait mtj: ooh :(
17:07 mtj: we would all help you with your diet if you decide to come :)
17:07 hi slef :)
17:09 mtj a  traditional scottish diet of  deep-fried chocolate-bars and whiskey :)
17:10 cait hehe
17:10 I take the chocolate bars away from you
17:10 perhaps rangi would volunteer for the whisky
17:12 mtj no nooo... lets *share* the chocolate bar :)
17:13 cait ok, deal ;)
17:14 mtj hmm - chris and robin are coming, from catalyst... i'm not sure about other nz-ers?
17:14 (but you knew that :) )
17:14 cait there was someone on the mailing list
17:14 I don't rmemeber the name
17:14 but saying that flights were booked
17:15 mtj oh yeah, dianna from opus-nz
17:15 cait not sure about others
17:15 but pretty good representation already :)
17:16 mbalmer booked my flights today.
17:20 cait booked mine the week before marseille

18:36 slef cake!
18:36 @marc 952
18:36 wahanui The 952 field is used by Koha to store item data in MARC21 and is described at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_fields_%289xx%29
18:36 huginn slef: unknown tag 952
18:37 mtj gmcharlt: looks promising :)
18:38 and a little mod_rewrite tweak too, even? :)
18:46 rangi Gmcharlt++
18:47 * rangi reads back
18:47 cait gmcharlt++ was looking at the new website - nice
18:47 morning rangi :)
18:48 gmcharlt I've also updated the copyright footer on downloads.k-c.org
18:48 rangi The good about ptfs registering koha domains is we now have policy do ppl should know not to do it again
18:54 Slef: I get into Scotland 8pm night before conf so won't be much help setting up but happy to do anything else to help
18:56 slef rangi: cool. We'll be in touch. An email to kohacon12 or ideally kohacon12volunteers would help me remember
18:56 gmcharlt mtj: yep, there's a redirect in place now
18:56 rangi Will do
18:58 * slef returns to fighting with Text::CSV::Encoded
18:59 rangi Good luck
19:00 cait slef: I will be around too - arrive shortly before rangi and robin
19:00 mtj ive just done my 1st bib import using rangi and eythian's csvtomarc.pl script
19:00 it went very very smoothly
19:00 cait eythian++ rangi++ mtj++ :)
19:00 slef mtj: this CSV has lots of encoding problems.
19:01 rangi Slef: using fixation?
19:01 Hmm autocorrect
19:01 Fixlatin
19:01 slef it's some child of latin-15 and Windows
19:01 mtj http://git.catalyst.net.nz/git[…]7b0b9b7f0d79e4867
19:01 slef that is mislabelled as utf8
19:02 cait eeew
19:02 * cait sends cookies
19:03 rangi Grant from work has a module on cpan Fixlatin that does a good job of cleaning stuff like that
19:03 slef I think I've sorted the encodings now. The remaining problems look like unescaped quotes. Now reading Text::CSV_XS's options to see what might help.
19:04 allow_loose_quotes I think
19:12 :) no errors now :)
19:14 cait yay :)

20:34 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5339 enhancement, P3, ---, julian.maurice, Needs Signoff , Parcel closing in acq
20:35 libsysguy_run I think i can sign off on this one unless its out of date again
20:36 libsysguy what is the rule for that, basically everytime parcel.pl or .tt gets changed this thing gets a conflict
20:36 I think it has been rebased like 4-5 times
20:36 is it just an automatic fail if there is a conflict?
20:36 cait hm
20:37 not for updatedatabase
20:37 libsysguy well it conflicts on that as well
20:37 cait if the conflict is easy to resolve I would do it I think
20:37 libsysguy but that is always in conflict :p
20:37 cait but I think at the moment it conflicts because of a new feature I added
20:37 in moredetail
20:37 libsysguy ohh

21:40 oh well, on to the next thing
21:40 cait oh

21:40 I will do that
21:41 eythian hi
21:41 cait hi mr robin

21:45 sekjal is there an issue with putting an [% IF %] inside an HTML tag?  I thought I remembered that...

21:46 cait I think exactly this case would not break translation, but it would make the tests complain for sure
21:47 sekjal hi, Irma!
21:47 cait you can run the test
21:47 to make sure if it does or not
21:47 Irma hi sekjal, cait ...
