19:36 wizzyrea jcamins_away: did you get your issues sorted out?
19:36 jcamins_away wizzyrea: it would seem so.
19:36 wizzyrea yay cool
19:36 jcamins_away I thought you fixed it, actually.
19:36 wizzyrea I suspect that the twitter pickup doesn't happen straight away
19:36 i.e. it requires some interval
19:37 (unknown to me - I think I did not set that bit up, I think it's an external service like yahoo pipes or similar.
19:37 )
19:37 also, good <time of day>
19:37 :)
19:37 jcamins_away Hello.
19:37 * jcamins_away is just finishing up a delicious lunch of fried rice.
19:38 jcamins_away An inspired way to use up the leftover rice and the leftover roast beef.
19:41 user00 joined #koha
19:42 wizzyrea oh yes. fried rice is a good plan
20:17 rangi morning
20:18 jcamins_away Morning.
20:18 wahanui morning is a state of mind. or whenever the cat wants breakfast.
20:26 rangi good newsletter jcamins_away
20:27 jcamins Thanks.
20:32 user00 *wonders* do cats like fried rice?
20:32 jcamins user00: they do when there's meat in it.
20:35 user00 jcamins: have you heard of boudin? (Wikipedia suggests I should refer to it, perhaps, as Boudin blanc.)
20:35 rice mixed with sausage
20:36 jcamins I have not.
20:37 user00 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudin
20:37 wizzyrea I have heard that referred to as "Dirty Rice"
20:38 (and mostly in the southern US)
20:38 user00 I just got back from the Lake Charles, LA area last week, and was introduced to it.
20:38 wizzyrea boudin is just the sausage apparently
20:39 oh well with rice it's the blanc
20:39 :)
20:39 user00 yep,
20:40 wizzyrea that's not precisely the thing I was thinking of
20:40 user00 Pretty good stuff, as long as you don't read the nutritional information on the package. Actually, the calorie count isn't terribly high.
20:40 wizzyrea oh hai :)
20:40 rambutan hey
20:42 jcamins Good news...
20:42 wahanui good news is it looks like it's running properly.
20:42 jcamins I think I should have enough cookbooks to keep me occupied for a while.
20:42 rangi heh
20:42 jcamins I just downloaded...
20:43 130.
20:43 project_gutenberg++
20:46 Well, 129 so far.
20:46 I can't seem to get the 130th to download.
20:47 rangi speaking of that
20:47 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Low_hanging_fruit
20:47 i added another to the list of easy stuff
20:47 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]to_help#OMGWTFBBQ.21  and made a new category
20:47 jcamins lol
20:48 eythian hi
20:48 wahanui hi, eythian
21:01 eythian wahanui: merry christmas is <reply>https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/6[…]411136/h6CA48D60/
21:01 wahanui OK, eythian.
21:02 rangi heh
21:02 wizzyrea1 joined #koha
21:02 trea well played
21:03 jcamins lol
21:06 wizzyrea take that!
21:10 rangi i think to end 2012, we should throw on a bit of janis joplin https://soundcloud.com/bobby-b[…]lin-try-the-bobby
21:16 eythian http://youtu.be/ShiShrR_nh8 <-- not this?
21:16 rangi hells no
21:16 wizzyrea silly robin, two thousand THIRTEEN, not two thousand.
21:17 rangi altho that is by far the best silverchair song
21:17 eythian it's accurate within a tiny percentage.
21:17 rangi (its a low bar)
21:17 wizzyrea kekeke
21:18 eythian rangi: right on both counts.
21:18 rangi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMAtL7n_-rc   <-- scott joplin
21:21 jcamins: i have a new recipe for you
21:21 http://www.youtube.com/watch?f[…]d&v=mbV0VhlIzzo#!
21:24 jcamins lol
21:24 wizzyrea vbmc is quite funny.
21:24 barriers joined #koha
21:24 * wizzyrea still occasionally chants "cut the tofu, turn the plate!"
21:24 rangi hehe
21:25 "poke at them randomly"
21:25 best cooking instruction yet
21:25 * wizzyrea decides not to make a lewd joke.
21:28 liw rangi, how strict are the randomness criteria? is a brain-generated mock-random movement pattern sufficient? :-)
21:29 rangi hehe i suspect that's fine :)
21:29 eythian you need to run it through a crypto hashbrown first.
21:29 jcamins That was awesome!
21:31 "Blackest of the black beans."
21:31 "Sesame tofu from the abyss"
21:32 rangi heh
21:32 * jcamins takes his laptop into the other room so he can watch them all while washing dishes.
21:33 eythian *consecrating the dishes
21:35 wizzyrea eythian is on a roll today.
21:35 highly giggleworthy.
21:35 eythian it's what happens after a break I guess :)
21:35 wizzyrea \o/
21:35 now I do have one quibble with this recipe
21:36 it is not very mexican with loads of sriracha.
21:36 really you ought to be going for chiles.
21:37 eythian this reminds me, I need to go spend time at the mediterranian food place down the road one day soon.
21:37 rangi https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/6[…]712128/hB4EE1988/
21:37 wizzyrea "weird wednesday"
21:37 lool.
21:37 eythian: did you know they have squid ink there?
21:38 eythian I didn't. But I have a bottle of ink in my drawer here anyway, I don't write enough to go through it fast.
21:38 wizzyrea it's for cooking ^.^
21:38 eythian I guess it would be more useful if I were writing something Lovecraftian.
21:38 wizzyrea perhaps so
21:38 hehehe
21:38 "add an axe or two of meat"
21:39 eythian that's not very vegan.
21:39 rangi it's "meat"
21:39 wizzyrea right, crumbled boca burgers.
21:40 eythian oh right
21:40 wizzyrea buffalo seitan bites.
21:40 ...which was so awesome it crashed flash.
21:41 jcamins The Pad Thai video is made of win.
21:42 "Chop its head off and crush it with a kniiiiiiiife."
21:42 eythian http://www.youtube.com/html5 <-- wizzyrea
21:42 wizzyrea ooo
21:42 ty
21:44 rambutan I liOK, so you integrate this with koha: http://rasterweb.net/raster/tag/make/ and every koha library world-wide uses it to do a scrolling display of the koha holdings of each nation.
21:45 rangi that'd be pretty sweet
21:46 rambutan We're buying some 3D printers, so I'm getting into the Maker thing.
21:48 barriers joined #koha
21:48 rangi cool
21:48 wizzyrea you'll have to be into it - someone has to teach people how to use the printers
21:51 rambutan Yep, one of the big issues. I suppose some Blender and Inkscape learning are in store for us.
21:51 rangi libaries should totally have makerspaces in them
21:52 wizzyrea oh yea, I agree
21:53 but getting them to sign on to this idea is harder than it sounds.
21:53 at least it was in kansas
21:53 was/is
21:53 rambutan fear and $$
21:53 wizzyrea fear. SO MUCH FEAR.
21:53 it might be too popular.
21:53 rangi yeah, the $$ is much more soluble
21:53 mostly makers will bring their own stuff
21:53 wizzyrea someone would have to be capable to oversee the equipment
21:53 rambutan Afraid of liability and not having thousands of coins to buy equipment
21:53 rangi if you give them a safe place to store it
21:54 wizzyrea and the liability thing
21:54 rangi oh yeah i keep forgetting about that
21:54 much easier here
21:54 wizzyrea make them sign a waiver.
21:54 rambutan My director, quite luckily (I think!) is very supportive of the idea.
21:54 wizzyrea ffs, I had to sign a waiver when I took spud to a indoor plaspace
21:54 playspace
21:54 rambutan We're not going to do woodworking with power saws and all that, but certainly the 3D printing and scanning part.
21:55 wizzyrea that said "if he dies, it's not our fault"
21:55 and that would be legally binding. libraries could easily do that.
21:55 as long as the library isn't negligent.
21:55 rambutan yea, we're already planning on doing waivers for things like our e- lab. (A very modest e- lab certainly).
21:56 I'd like to offer a few simple classes on the Pi and Arduino, and see how much interest there is around here.
21:56 wizzyrea I just think it's a red herring, liability.
21:56 jcamins rangi: I had a thought: is there any reason the Debian scripts couldn't be general?
21:56 rambutan Agree, we're really got to get past it.
21:57 wizzyrea afk just a min
21:57 rangi the koha-create etc?
21:57 jcamins Yeah.
21:57 rangi only that the files dont exist in the right places on a non package install
21:58 jcamins I mean, obviously that would require changes to Makefile.PL and some file organization.
21:58 rangi yep
21:58 barriers joined #koha
21:58 eythian jcamins: general how?
21:58 jcamins But the only reason it can't be done is that none of us have the free time.
21:59 rangi 92 year old starts a blog
21:59 jcamins eythian: so that instead of using Makefile.PL you run koha-create mykoha.
21:59 rangi http://greycavalier.wordpress.[…]4/intotheunknown/
21:59 this is what the internet is for
21:59 eythian http://youtu.be/eWEjvCRPrCo <-- no, rangi
22:00 rangi heh
22:00 jcamins eythian: I'm thinking if we eliminated the divide between the templates for packages and for tarballs that would be nice.
22:01 I'm also thinking I'm not doing the work, so that was all just speculative, and now that I've finished speculating, I guess I'd better go wash some more dishes.
22:01 eythian jcamins: hmm. Though running the Makefile.PL and koha-create are quite different things in terms of how they do things. But I do like the idea of sharing templates.
22:01 heh OK
22:01 (of course, them being quite different I guess is why it'd require significant work)
22:01 jcamins Yeah, Makefile.PL mixes up the "Koha installation" and "Koha instance configuration" steps.
22:03 eythian phew, over-christmas-email-pile: cleared!
22:04 wizzyrea if the internet had been around when my grandma was in her early 90's I bet she would have started a blog
22:04 well, if the blogging software had been as good then as it is now
22:04 she would have been 90 about 13 years ago
22:04 (she's still alive)
22:05 the reason I say that is that when she was in her 80's, she was using a computer to write her history
22:05 she probably can't see well enough now to do it :(
22:09 jcamins Myshkin suggests that one does not need to see the computer in order to type.
22:09 wizzyrea myshkin should start a blog.
22:09 rangi i'm concerned
22:09 jcamins He also says that reading is unnecessary.
22:10 And, "hi."
22:11 rangi concerned
22:11 wahanui https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/6[…]136512/h0FB4BFFA/
22:12 wizzyrea that baby is concerned his mom will buy some bras.

22:34 jcamins Aww.
22:35 Hehe.
22:35 I like the cat closing the door.
22:35 wizzyrea I like the slowly rising cat.
22:35 and the cat who can't help himself from jumping in the barrel.
22:37 jcamins Yeah, I was wondering if there was a cat toy out of sight of the camera.
22:37 wizzyrea or the water was catnip tea
22:38 jcamins lol
22:47 eythian http://www.youtubemultiplier.c[…]ooooooooooooo.php
