00:41 Oak on my MLIS viva, the viva guy asked me who Koha, I said you mean who started work on it? he said yes, I said Chris Cormack. he said no it was a lady, I said no I believe Chris was the very first...
00:41 ah cool
00:42 so i just remembered his question after 2-3 weeks at 5:30AM and just checked... :)

00:50 ibeardslee I understand that Katipo (original company commissioned to do the work) was run by a woman, and the Horowhenua Library who paid for the original was run by a woman at the time.
00:50 rangi: is that correct?
00:52 rangi that's right
00:52 wahanui I know.

08:39 Viktor Is magnuse by the keyboard? Server/s seems down :/
08:39 magnuse ouch!
08:39 Viktor Just went offline at a demo
08:39 drojf frozen :P
08:43 magnuse Viktor: i'm on it!
08:44 Viktor (great magnuse - we hade just logged into viktor.priv.bibkat.no and typed "viktor" into checkhout-box. Got a software error which is very unusual)
08:45 * jcamins_away offers up a counter patch for bug 8990.

08:45 Viktor Sorry people for the public discussion of this - it was just the quickest way.
08:47 jcamins_away paul_p: is joubu around?
08:48 druthb joined #koha
08:48 rangi jcamins_away: am now
08:50 Viktor magnuse - up and running now. Thanks :) Lets switch to email with reports on what happened :)
08:50 magnuse Viktor: sure :-)
09:04 Viktor slowed down and then died again :( magnuse
09:04 magnuse Viktor: yup, i see it
09:04 Viktor Exciting to see the first fallthrough we've had with the server :)
09:09 rangi OOMing?
09:22 Viktor rangi Seems to be some kind of overload of the server. Just wonder if it's a targetet attack or just some botnet playing around.
09:24 magnuse apache was doing a lot of work
09:24 but rebuild_zebra seemed to be using a lot of cpu too

11:20 Herwig Hey Koha people
11:22 slef hey Herwig
11:26 Herwig Is there a user who can help me ... i just imported a group of marc files in my koha now it is imported but how do i get all these files an item location ... for the Batch item modification i need a item number file ... i did try putting the numbers in a txt file but that did not work ... anny tips :oP
11:26 julian_m joined #koha
11:29 jwagner joined #koha
11:36 slef Herwig: you view each record in the admin and add items to them on their item tabs.
11:36 Herwig: I think I might have put the item records (952 tags) into the marc files before importing them.
11:37 Herwig i wanna do them in group cause i have 50000 items
11:38 i look at the 952 just a sec
11:38 slef @marc 952
11:38 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
11:38 huginn slef: unknown tag 952
11:40 Herwig gonna try that thx for the tip
11:41 paul_p joined #koha
12:02 Herwig Hmz i did put my items.homebranch and items.holdingbranch in 952$a en p52$b but afther importing the marc file no items there hmz

13:44 oleonard Did something change in git resulting in "git am --abort" leaving unstaged changes?
13:44 I don't remember it working this way before
13:44 jcamins_away oleonard: that's the way it's always been, if there's a conflict.
13:45 oleonard Really? I thought abort really meant abort. "To restore the original branch and stop patching run "git am --abort""
13:45 talljoy joined #koha
13:46 jcamins_away Yeah, it trips me up every time.
13:50 cait-m me too

13:51 i'm around
13:51 cait-m my train connection is via strasbourg today - made me think if you
13:51 :-)
13:52 matts héhé... Where are you headed to ?
13:52 cait-m going home from saarbrücken
13:53 matts And it's through Strasbourg ? Not an direct Germany trip ?
13:53 cait-m people next table are talking french  :-)
13:53 yep not direct
13:53 faster this way
13:54 matts Not direct is faster... seems strange, but ok :)
13:54 cait-m ok time to head to my platform
13:54 bbl
13:58 alex_a joined #koha
14:04 cait-m matts - sarreguemines
14:05 the french name for saarbrücken i think
14:06 matts cait-m, nope, saarbrücken is Sarrebruck :)
14:06 cait-m hmm ok
14:06 matts Sarreguemines is a different (isolated) town
14:07 cait-m it said tjat on the sifn above
14:08 sign
14:08 i was guessing  :-)
14:20 on twitter?
14:25 drojfx support via twitter sounds like a great idea
14:27 oleonard yes, we're always looking for ways to draw out the "is zebra running" conversation over the course of hours via Twitter
14:27 cait-m joined #koha

14:32 i hope drojf39°C is not taken ;)
14:33 rambutan joined #koha
15:20 Morthland joined #koha
15:21 Morthland Is there a way to import my own fonts into the patron card creator?
15:21 jcamins No.
15:22 Morthland Would it be worth taking a look at the code?
15:22 jcamins (long answer: yes, but I think it would require a fair amount of coding, and the only person who knows that section of the code isn't going to be around until the end of December at the earliest)
15:23 Morthland Could I replace one of the TTFS or OTFS for one of the fonts available by default on the koha server?
15:24 jcamins I don't know.
15:24 rambutan joined #koha
15:24 Morthland I will try that then.
15:24 jcamins I suspect you'll find that won't work, though.
15:25 Morthland I don't know where else the font could be pulled from. I can't find any in the Koha package.
15:25 I think I will look at the code first, though.
15:25 jcamins Of course not.
15:25 NateC_ joined #koha
15:25 jcamins They're PS fonts.
15:25 NateC_ left #koha
15:25 Morthland PS?
15:25 Right.
15:25 jcamins Postscript.
15:25 Koha uses PDF for patron cards.
15:27 Morthland: out of curiosity, why is changing the font so important?
15:27 libsysguy jcamins he wants to use ComicSans
15:28 :p jk Morthland
15:28 Morthland ha.
15:28 Our institution has an official font.
15:28 Admin wants it on the IDs
15:28 * jcamins would create the cards with something other than Koha.
15:28 libsysguy ^^
15:28 jcamins LibreOffice, perhaps.
15:28 Nice mail merge.
15:29 Morthland I don't know how to import from excel.
15:29 jcamins Huh?
15:30 Morthland I don't want to do them individually.
15:30 jcamins That's why you do a mail merge.
15:30 Out of curiosity, how many patrons?
15:30 rambutan left #koha
15:30 Morthland I don't know what a Mail Merge is.
15:30 mustard joined #koha
15:30 Morthland Should be about 50
15:31 * jcamins would learn about mail merge or do it individually.
15:31 mustard left #koha
15:32 Morthland Googling mail merge
15:32 jcamins I'd say you're looking at several orders of magnitude more work to hack the server, and a good chance of breaking your production system.
15:32 Note: I haven't tried, but that's my gut instinct.
15:32 libsysguy Morthland: what is your timeframe?
15:33 jcamins That I could do fifty cards by hand faster than I could change the code.
15:33 libsysguy also what jcamins just said
15:33 jcamins Actually, I _did_ do fifty cards by hand, now that I think about it.
15:34 It was faster than using the patron card creator.
15:34 45 cards to be precise... it was 3 pages of 15.
15:38 drojf uh, why do i get to translate norwegian terms in pootle for 3.6?
15:38 rambutan joined #koha
15:38 jcamins drojf: NORMARC.
15:38 wahanui i guess normarc is at http://www.nb.no/fag/kompetans[…]ering/dnk/normarc or mostly a subset of marc21
15:39 jcamins magnuse fixed some bugs and now the strings are fuzzy again.
15:43 asaurat left #koha
15:43 drojf okay then :)
15:55 magnuse just ignore (copy) them :-)

16:10 drojf magnuse: i have actually translated them so far. i bet there are a lot of people cataloguing normarc in german ;)
16:10 just saw that they were just copied before
16:13 hm funny. some were translated, others just copied. i guess it won't be much fun to use that now
16:19 jcamins drojf: let's consider this.
16:19 Ready?
16:20 MARC = not fun
16:20 MARC21 = somewhat less fun
16:20 NORMARC = like MARC21, only worse
16:20 oleonard Do UNIMARC now!
16:20 jcamins Ergo, NORMARC = -fun
16:20 drojf lol
16:21 jcamins oleonard: I think UNIMARC is probably around the MARC21 levels of fun.
16:27 oleonard This is what happens at international library conferences: "My MARC is worse!" "No, my MARC is worse!"
16:28 nengard LOL

18:27 oleonard My suggestion to @shumailakhan08 on Twitter resulted only in @shumailakhan08 asking *me* for help :|
18:27 jcamins oleonard: I'm shocked.
18:28 oleonard Like I suggested asking a robot.
18:29 jcamins I suggest "if you send an e-mail to the mailing list or ask on IRC you might get help" is a good response.
18:29 oleonard As I did. We'll see.
18:30 drojf lol oleonard who would have expected that. you said wanted to do the "is zebra running" via twitter :P
18:32 if we had a google group on the other hand…

19:05 rambutan If we may, a small tribute to "Ada Lovelace Day"  today, October 16th.   Ada was, of course, the progenatory of one of the greatest programming languages in the world.
19:07 oleonard You missed the 45 minutes of silence in her honor rambutan. It was between 10:30 and 11:15 this morning!
19:09 rangi ie all of them

19:56 oleonard Violating coding guidelines and making strings untranslatable should fail a patch!
19:56 We should have this down by now.
19:57 jcamins oleonard: doesn't it?
19:58 oleonard Not for the transport cost matrix feature
19:59 jcamins Yuck.
19:59 rangi hmm the tests should catch that
19:59 has it been pushed oleonard ?
19:59 oleonard do the tests catch it if it's in JavaScript?
20:00 rangi ah perhaps not
