01:05 Topic for #koha is now Koha 3.8.0, 3.6.4 and 3.4.8 Now Available | Koha Community Website - http://www.koha-community.org/ | General IRC meeting, 13 June 2012 at 18:00 UTC+0
01:05 * Oak is researching what is the proper way to hold the steering of a car
01:06 jcamins_away Oak: at ten and two. http://www.driversedguru.com/d[…]steering-methods/
01:07 * jcamins_away has never seen someone turn a car without crossing their hands.
01:07 Oak aaah. i am also seeing this 10 and 2... everywhere.
01:07 jcamins_away Oak: that's because it's the right way to position your hands.
01:08 Oak my father saw me driving with 9 and 3 position and has be nagging me that i hold it wrong
01:08 hmm
01:08 jcamins_away I suppose if it works for you there's nothing wrong with it.
01:09 The reason not to put your hands at 9 and 3 is that it's much harder to make small adjustments.
01:09 Oak hmm
01:10 jcamins_away It's easier to _pull_ the steering wheel _down_ than push it up.
01:10 You know, this reminds me of something: I'm so glad I practically never have to drive anymore.
01:10 Oak i should at least try 10 and 2. never liked to put my hands high-ish. so. but i should try definitely.
01:10 :) why who drives for you now?
01:11 jcamins_away I live in New York.
01:11 Oak ah
01:11 got it
01:11 jcamins_away No need to drive at all. :)
01:11 Oak :)
01:11 jcamins_away It's great!
01:12 Oak cabs and trains?
01:12 and walking is sometimes faster to reach somewhere i hear
01:12 jcamins_away Trains, and sometimes buses, when it's too far to walk.
01:12 About twice a week I walk from uptown to midtown, though.
01:12 Oak NY!
01:13 cool. walking is nice in new york i'd think
01:13 jcamins_away Meh. It's loud, crowded, and dirty.
01:13 But at least it's not claustrophobic.
01:13 Oak hmm :)
01:23 hmm: http://bottomline.msnbc.msn.co[…]ng-all-wrong?lite
01:25 and http://seniordriving.aaa.com/i[…]crashes-emergency
01:34 jcamins_away Interesting.
01:36 Oak yup :) and saw one very good video on another topic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v[…]ms&feature=relmfu
01:36 and parallel parking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v[…]M&feature=related
01:37 jcamins_away I hate parallel parking.
01:37 Oak that video makes it look so easy
01:38 i'll surely try what they are saying... makes sense
01:39 well, 6:45 am here on a Sunday. i'll go back to sleep.
01:39 later jcamins_away ... be back in may be 2 hours.
01:39 jcamins_away Bye.
02:21 @later tell rangi Do we have a concrete reason not to use XML::LibXML::SAX other than "parsers other than XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser are funky"?
02:21 huginn jcamins_away: The operation succeeded.
02:47 jcamins_away @later tell fredericd Are there still problems with parsers other than MARC::XML::File and  XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser?
02:47 huginn jcamins_away: The operation succeeded.

07:34 cait hi #koha
07:35 rangi hi cait
07:35 cait evening rangi
07:35 eythian_ hi cait
07:36 cait evening eythian
07:36 eythian_ http://ubuntuone.com/2Q5rY0k3riHXlyMXN8SPqZ <-- current talk plans. Comments welcome
07:38 rangi looks like a good outline
07:38 eythian_ comments that'll help me fill it out a bit more welcome ;)
07:39 cait :)
07:39 eythian_ though, I think it'll probably pretty much about right time-wise
07:39 once I've finished the bits I haven't done yet
07:40 * eythian_ finds the Cabin Pressure series to be pretty good for planning a presentation to.
07:40 eythian_ Also, beers
07:40 cait heh
07:42 eythian_ cait: reminds me, I hope you know all the good breweries in and around Konstanz for me to investigate.
07:42 cait I might be not the best source for that
07:42 eythian_ You're a poor German ;)
07:42 cait I am
07:42 in this regard
07:43 eythian_ Aside from the organisation stress thing :)
07:43 cait but I am also a librarian, you will get your information
07:43 wahanui okay, cait.
07:43 eythian_ haha
07:43 cait lol
07:43 eythian_ excellent :D
07:43 wahanui: cait
07:43 wahanui That's Ms. Cait to you! or in a very good mood today :) or a librarian, you will get wahanui's information
07:43 cait lol
07:45 eythian_ I wish untapped would let me specify a location
07:46 cait ?
07:46 well, I know one place at the harbour with good beer, because I have a friend who started to study brewery before he got to be a librarian
07:46 eythian_ http://untappd.com/user/eythian
07:47 cait so I can send you there first :)
07:47 eythian_ ah well that's definitely sounding like a good start
07:48 nihkil joined #koha
07:48 nihkil hallo
07:48 eythian_ nihkil: you should ask your question :)
07:48 nihkil anybody  here
07:48 ok
07:49 i have updated koha from 3.6 4 to 3.8 ...but when tha database restored it shows three errors
07:49 eythian_ during the upgrade?
07:49 what are the errors?
07:49 nihkil yea
07:50 eythian_ It's _probably_ OK, but let us know what they are and we should be able to confirm.
07:50 nihkil but the installation went ok
07:51 i think all are working greately.... except errors
07:51 eythian_ Can you be more specific about the errors
07:51 nihkil sure
07:52 just a minute
07:53 i cna give detail about it later... now i have an anothor problem
07:54 eythian_ I like how the kohacon programme includes Elevenses. That's something that should be more popular. Also, it's in my spellcheck apparently.
08:07 * eythian_ buys a bluetooth mouse to carry in my laptop bag. Pity Microsoft still makes the best mice.
08:12 cait true
08:15 eythian_ At least my laptop now has an Ubuntu button instead of a windows button.
08:18 cait :)
08:19 mine still has a windows button.... and will have for a while longer
08:19 it's still quite new
08:20 eythian_ Mine is very new
08:20 And delightfully powerful.
08:25 rangi ouch
08:25 http://www.wiscnews.com/news/l[…]001a4bcf887a.html
08:26 i wish they had it made it clear it was liblime's version, i hate to see Koha tarred with that same brush
08:27 cait eythian: what did you get?
08:27 eythian_ erk. So my parents ISP has: 1) prevented relaying through their server with a username/password, 2) enabled SPF so that using any other relay indicates it may be spam. This prevents any smartphone user (like my mother) from using their email on their phone away from home.
08:28 rangi how silly
08:29 eythian_ http://zareason.com/shop/Alto-3880.html <-- cait, this but with the specs increased.
08:29 it is quite
08:29 cait looks familiar
08:29 :)
08:30 eythian_ to me too, because I have one in front of me right now.
08:33 cait was more thinking about rangi's
08:33 eythian_ well you weren't specific
08:33 rangi: that's pretty terrible
08:34 although despite the fact it's Liblime, I'd still give good odds that it's really workflow issues with the library.
08:35 rangi yep
08:35 cait hm not sure
08:35 being slow and double calling patrons?
08:36 eythian_ Well, "response time, searching" isn't defined.
08:37 Double calling could well be.
08:37 Multiple people running the same report, or something like that.
08:37 cait hm yes
09:02 chilts eythian_: how souped up did you get the Alto?
09:03 eythian_ chilts: 8GB, i7 (the cheaper one), 500GB HD + 4GB SSD buffer. Also extra charger and battery.
09:03 It's very quick
09:04 chilts and it's "delightfully powerful" you say ... that sounds a bit like what I want :)
09:04 I probably won't get as muchhard drive space, maybe 6G or 8G depending on price
09:05 (actually, only comes in 4, 8 or 16G - 8 it is then) :)
09:05 eythian_ chilts: well, it's 500GB. The SSD part is just to make it faster
09:05 But the 8GB was sizably more expensive
09:06 Also, it only comes in 4 and 8, so maybe you're looking somewhere else
09:06 chilts ok ... important this one, Tux or Ubuntu logo?
09:06 eythian_ I got Ubuntu
09:06 rangi got tux
09:07 chilts I'd get Tux :)
09:07 even though I use Ubuntu
09:07 eythian_ I didn't put a lot of thought into it :)
09:07 chilts when I said 6G or 8G above, I was referring to memory (even though it was on the same line as the hdd)
09:07 eythian_ It's not on the same line as the hdd
09:07 chilts and did you get charged GST on the way in?
09:07 eythian_ it's the line above
09:08 yes
09:08 chilts 09:04:28 < chilts> I probably won't get as muchhard drive space, maybe 6G or 8G depending on price
09:08 same line :)
09:08 eythian_ That's very confusing :)
09:08 chilts I know, that's why you were confused
09:09 but that's only 'coz HDDs now have memory
09:09 eythian_ The main impetus for mine is that I'm spending a few months in Yurp from june, and need a development machine.
09:09 This is an ideal dev machine
09:09 Oh, if you don't mind waiting, they're setting up a shop in wellington
09:10 Not sure of the timeframe, but this year some time.
09:10 ibeardslee may know if he's about
09:10 chilts yeah, I've been speaking to Cathy on Twitter a lot since she's been here
09:10 eythian_ ah right
09:10 chilts am just wondering about what you got charged on the way in
09:10 if any
09:11 eythian_ 15%+~$25 or so
09:11 chilts righto, so the $25 is an additional charge for clearing or something
09:11 cool
09:11 eythian_ I factored that in to my calculations, but tbh I think this laptop will last me a good long time.
09:11 yeah
09:11 MAF
09:11 chilts yeah, should be a while
09:12 of course I'd claim the 15% back anyway
09:12 so I shouldn't worry :)
09:12 eythian_ Ah, nice
09:12 Had I been smarter, I would have bought it through catalyst and done that too
09:12 chilts heh, true :)
09:12 eythian_ given I'll be using it for work anyway
09:12 chilts yeah, might have worked out well for you
09:13 yurp==europe?
09:13 eythian_ But mostly it's nice having something where I know that it'll come back from suspend, and when I plug a projector in it magically works.
09:13 yeah
09:13 Going for KohaCon and staying for a few months
09:13 cait :)
09:13 chilts yeah, coming back from suspend is one of my new must-haves :)
09:14 ok, gotta scoot ... night all &
09:14 eythian_ I've actually had good luck with that, there was a time where my old old laptop didn't
09:14 then a new upgrade came out and it did
09:14 since then, everything has worked
09:14 I think it's 90% solved in Linux
09:14 later
09:15 cait later
09:17 * cait starts with her accounting homework
09:31 eythian_ http://ubuntuone.com/0lbsxOF3AtO49hCLrarCgM <-- think I've finished with my talk planning
09:31 Now I just need to do with my packaging talk
09:32 That should be mostly demonstration though, so not so big.

19:47 rangi Brr
19:47 Topic for #koha is now Happy birthday rangi! Koha 3.80 and 3.6.4 Now Available | Koha Community Website - http://www.koha-community.org/ | General IRC meeting, 13 June 2012 at 18:00 UTC+0
19:47 rangi Thanks
19:51 pastebot "jcamins" at 24.193.130.86 pasted "Fun exercise in query optimization!" (1 line) at http://paste.koha-community.org/401
19:52 jcamins I have successfully seized up my db with that query, on a small dataset!
19:52 * jcamins sighs, and turns it back into two queries.
19:53 cait what are you trying to do?
19:53 jcamins cait: I want a list of all biblios with a count of the number of issue statistics related to each biblio.
19:53 cait hmm
19:53 rangi Have u tried an explain on it?
19:54 jcamins rangi: yeah, it's going through all records on biblio and statistics.
19:54 cait hm
19:54 I wonder
19:55 do we really need bilbio items and statistics
19:55 ?
19:55 you want total issues per biblio?
19:55 jcamins cait: unfortunately, yes.
19:55 Exactly.
19:55 cait although I am not sure that is useful
19:55 jcamins Very useful here.
19:55 cait no need ot factor in the number of items?
19:55 jcamins Right.
19:56 I don't care how many items there are.
19:56 cait what do you need it for?
19:56 jcamins Popularity.
19:56 To populate 942$0.
19:57 I guess I'll split it into two queries.
19:58 rangi It's a one off? To fix it eh?
19:59 jcamins rangi: not entirely.
19:59 It could also be used if you want to repopulate your popularity data with only checkouts in the last month.
20:00 rangi Ahh ok
20:00 cait jcamins: I am not sure items are not important here
20:01 jcamins cait: they're irrelevant because I'm populating biblio data not item data.
20:01 cait hm
20:02 I think I should go back to do accounting :)
20:03 jcamins Yes you should.
20:03 Accounting is important.
20:03 cait hmpf
20:05 rangi Yes
20:05 cait hmpf
20:05 jcamins Okay, that worked.
20:05 68 seconds.
20:06 In test mode.
20:06 For 164k records.
20:06 rangi Nice
20:06 jcamins Should I try non-test mode?
20:07 rangi After a backup :)
20:07 jcamins Good plan.
20:08 This is going to take a while.
