03:20 jcamins @later tell paul_p How is the weather in Marseille in November?
03:20 huginn jcamins: The operation succeeded.
03:20 eythian @wunder marseille
03:20 huginn eythian: The current temperature in Marseille, France is 14.0°C (5:00 AM CEST on October 08, 2015). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 72%. Dew Point: 9.0°C. Pressure: 29.92 in 1013 hPa (Steady).
03:20 eythian jcamins: 14° :)
03:20 but it's 5am, so probably warmer in a few hours
03:21 jcamins @wunder 11375
03:21 huginn jcamins: The current temperature in Cedar Grove Cemetery, Flushing, New York, New York is 16.0°C (11:06 PM EDT on October 07, 2015). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 73%. Dew Point: 11.0°C. Pressure: 30.03 in 1017 hPa (Rising).
03:21 jcamins eythian: what I'm really concerned about, actually, is snow. I hate snow.
03:22 And sun. Cold and sunny I like.
03:22 Cold and dreary, no.
03:24 eythian well, it says clear, but I don't recall what sort of humidity leads to snow, but I'm sure it's not 72% at 14° because that'd be a pretty freaky snowfall.,
03:24 jcamins It's also the beginning of October right now.
03:41 eythian if ( $hits && $offset + $results_per_page <= $hits ) {
03:41 ^-- I misread that variable each time I see it.
03:47 gah, and I just spent ages staring at something to see why it wasn't working. Turns out it was working just fine, I hadn't noticed.

04:55 Pete__ joined #koha
04:58 Pete__ Hello?  Anyone out there?  I'm looking for some Koha help... is this the right place?
04:58 eythian it is
04:58 though, you're on a slightly odd timezone border so it's quiet about now.
04:59 I think the US is asleep, NZ is about to go home, and europe is about to wake up.
04:59 Pete__ Haha, I'm in Chicago -- do you have time for a quick question?
04:59 Basically, I set up Koha for the first time for a small school here in Chicago
05:00 I got the linux install ok no problem, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to add BOOKS in there from the school's library
05:00 Is there by chance some "amazon lookup" thing where I don't have to enter in information about every single book?  This school is just getting started from scratch.
05:00 I must be missing something... right?
05:00 eythian it doesn't use amazon, but there is a lookup thing
05:00 it's called Z39.50
05:01 (because it's really old when those names were still cool.)
05:01 Pete__ Ha, nice, okay... I remember seeing that somewhere...
05:01 eythian you can enter the ISBN and look it up in a bunch of libraries, e.g. library of congress.
05:01 ashimema hi chaps
05:01 eythian ashimema: howdy
05:01 wahanui que tal, eythian
05:02 eythian wahanui: I'm not talking to you
05:02 wahanui eythian: sorry...
05:02 eythian http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]en_Z39.50_Sources <-- Pete__, this might be useful if the sources you already have aren't helpful
05:03 that page could really do with some more entries
05:03 Pete__ I don't remember seeing that anywhere in the config, but at least now I have something to go on...
05:03 Thanks eythian for the link
05:03 ashimema or http://irspy.indexdata.com/ is often helpful
05:03 eythian when you go to the cataloguing interface, there's an option to add from Z39.50
05:04 oh yeah, that one I forget about
05:05 Pete__ Awesome.  This is a small school library here but I'd still rather not ask them to enter in all the info manually.  I'm sure we'll have to for at least a few things but the more I can automate the better.  I'll check this out.  Thanks guys.
05:05 eythian oh yeah, you don't want to do this manually, that'd be terrible
05:06 you should be able to get it to the point of barcode scanning the ISBN, loading the record, tweaking a few things, and saving.
05:06 1-2 minutes per book rather than about half an hour each to catalogue it from scratch.
05:06 Pete__ Yes!  That's what I'm shooting for.  This Zebra thing is the answer to that, yes?
05:06 eythian Z39.50, yes
05:06 Pete__ Z39.50?
05:06 wahanui i heard Z39.50 was the ANSI standard of the beast.
05:06 eythian heh
05:07 (zebra is the search engine koha uses behind the scenes, but it can also talk z39.50, but you don't need to know that here :)
05:07 Pete__ awesome.  Off I go.  I'll return here at a more reasonable time next time!  Have a good day / night / etc!
05:07 eythian later, good luck!

08:52 mtj drojf: i just read your apache email :)
08:54 ..i think now for debian jessie, disabling the 'default' apache will not break anything
08:54 it seems to be a perfectly safe thing to do, 99% of the time
08:56 drojf mtj: i have been disabling that hundreds of times ;)
08:56 mtj afaik, all web apps install themselves in the /etc/apache/conf.d/* dir
08:57 drojf i have not done much with jessie yet, but a correctly (AFAIK) set up koha site did not get round the default website yesterday
08:57 mtj ..so, they work just fine with the 'default' config disabled
09:01 ^ i would like to be corrected, if that is untrue
09:02 drojf mtompsett wll know ;)

09:11 mtj hey, i was thinking .... why not turn up DBI_TRACE on the jenkins nodes
09:12 i wonder if it would reveal any known problems
09:13 s/known/unknown/
09:14 hmm, let me explain further... -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiPe1OiKQuk
09:17 perhaps the build times would become horrible, and it would use a f*ckton of disk
09:17 but, just a thought..

12:00 jcamins Joubu: you live in Marseille too, right? How's the weather?
12:04 drojf jcamins: going to marseille?
12:05 jcamins drojf: considering a vacation, and Marseille seemed to have affordable flights.
12:05 So did Oslo, so when magnuse is around, I'm going to ask him how crazy Oslo is as a vacation destination in November.
12:07 drojf that depends on the weather you would like to have i guess :D
12:07 liw jcamins, if you go to Oslo in November, you should make sure you do not get eaten by polar bears
12:08 (this is usually quite easy, as there aren't any in Oslo, unless they have a zoo with them)
12:09 jcamins drojf: I'm not a huge fan of snow and dark, so Oslo seems like it might be a poor choice... on the other hand, maybe Oslo is especially beautiful in November.
12:10 drojf i think snow is what makes the north less dark in winter. that and the northern lights :)
12:10 liw oslo is about as northern as helsinki, so I'm going to say the daylight hours are going to be few and short in November
12:10 but as Oslo is at an ocean, and Helsinki is not, I don't know how the weather in Oslo is going to be
12:11 (Helsink is miserable in November)
12:11 jcamins liw: yeah, that I know. The question is whether there are enough advantages to Oslo in November.
12:11 liw (better in January, when there's snow on the ground)
12:11 jcamins, the almost total lack of polar bears is an advantage, wouldn't you say? :)
12:11 jcamins liw: hehe.

12:43 for the weather forecast, have a look at the meteofrance.fr website: http://www.meteofrance.com/pre[…]e/marseille/13000
12:44 If you plan to come on Saturday it will be sunny, otherwise rain on the beginning of next week :-/

12:57 jcamins Joubu: I'm thinking about a vacation for November, actually.
13:04 drojf do we know who uses plack in production already?
13:05 dpavlin's library probably. some biblibre libraries too maybe?
13:06 tcohen: are you running plack in production?
13:06 tcohen drojf: i played with it
13:07 i found a couple problems that need to be addressed
13:07 JoshB joined #koha
13:07 tcohen drojf: did you give kohadevbox/ansible a chance?
13:08 so far: upgrade needed detection yields weird situation where you cannot login
13:08 cannot create label batches
13:10 Joubu: good morning
13:10 wahanui well, it's morning somewhere, yes

13:15 tcohen ashimema++
13:16 Joubu jcamins: so it will certainly be a bit cold, but if you are lucky you will get sun, blue sky and no wind :)
13:16 ashimema ?
13:16 drojf tcohen: will have to wait for the new notebook probably. not doing much koha at home et the moment and the office computer is too slow for everything and not capable of the 64bit vt
13:17 ashimema we're runing plack and cgi in parallel to test plack in production
13:17 bit cutsomre..
13:17 burrently we're hvin some teething issues with db connections going away..
13:17 mario joined #koha
13:17 ashimema but i'm struggling to narrow them down enough to make head nor tails of it.
13:18 Joubu ashimema: I hope it should be better when bug 14778 will be pushed
13:18 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=14778 normal, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Failed QA , Get rid of DBIx::Connector
13:19 drojf are there other koha benchmarking things than what is in load_testing st the moment?
13:19 ashimema Joubu.. would it be a good idea to get ribasushi to give that patch a once over..
13:19 drojf or benchmarking in general that people use with koha
13:20 ashimema I still havn't managed to pin down the actual issue.. he thought/we thought there was somtihng wrong in dbic itself that meant our usage was loosing connections..
13:20 Joubu at the moment I am stuck with it, see the last patch on the bug report. I didn't manage to make some tests pass
13:20 ashimema but I've been crap at maanging to dig out the details.. the commithash went away that was mentioned to him when we first came accros it as a bug

18:10 congratulations!
18:12 wnickc: gitifying koha on a kohabox--is this pretty straightforward?
18:12 I mean on a virtualbox
18:13 wnickc It should be, you mean one of the boxes from the Kohana wiki
18:13 Kchris yes
18:13 wnickc yeah, just following the instrcutions should go easily https://github.com/mkfifo/koha-gitify
18:14 Kchris thanks!
18:14 wnickc the images were package installs, so nothing tricky I don't think
18:15 Kchris I finally got the languages to install on kohadevbox (with help from Magnus), but I haven't yet managed to "activate" the languages within the administrator web interface.
18:16 Only English shows up in the preferences--the other languages I have installed don't.
18:19 wnickc hmm..I know I got them working on my vm, but I think I didn't use the package tools to do so

20:05 wizzyrea drojf: I think gmcharlt may have to fix that, or someone at bywater, that's not a web property I have much to do with.
20:05 gmcharlt wizzyrea: what's the antecedent?
20:05 wizzyrea drojf: "i just found that the page title displayed by google for git.koha-community.org is "git.koha.org". can that be changed maybe? http://abunchofthings.net/koha/pics/git_title.png"
20:05 :)
20:11 gmcharlt hmm, doesn't look like that string is being returned by the Koha gitweb
20:11 Google may be hangling on to an outdated titile since we're excluding robots from that server
20:12 wizzyrea probably do need to allow them to index the home page?
20:12 though, not like we've changed it (or ever change it)
20:13 gmcharlt yeah, I've put in a less restricive robots.txt

20:43 kchris wizzrea: what does ++ after a nickname mean? is it like a compliment?
20:44 sorry, wizzyrea
20:44 wizzyrea it denotes adding karma
20:45 so each time you ++
20:45 they get a point
20:45 @karma gmcharlt
20:45 huginn wizzyrea: Karma for "gmcharlt" has been increased 164 times and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 164.
20:45 wizzyrea we like him :)
20:45 you can also -- but we don't do that very often
20:45 gmcharlt cthulhu--
20:45 @karma cthulhu
20:45 wizzyrea @karma cthulu
20:45 huginn gmcharlt: Karma for "cthulhu" has been increased 0 times and decreased 1 time for a total karma of -1.
20:45 wizzyrea: cthulu has neutral karma.
20:45 wizzyrea keke
20:46 @karma IE
20:46 huginn wizzyrea: Karma for "IE" has been increased 1 time and decreased 27 times for a total karma of -26.
20:46 wizzyrea we don't like IE
20:46 ^.^
20:46 well, we do -- pretty often... on IE.
20:46 hehe
20:46 kchris I see.
20:47 gmcharlt since IE is not actually a person, after all
20:47 wizzyrea yes, exactly. and it is also deserving of ire.
20:47 kchris wizzyrea++ thanks for the explanation.
20:47 wizzyrea but yes, good point we don't normally decrement people.
20:47 \o/
20:48 @karma wizzyrea
20:48 huginn wizzyrea: Karma for "wizzyrea" has been increased 65 times and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 65.
20:48 liw kchris++ much polite, very plusplus
20:48 kchris @karma kchris
20:48 huginn kchris: Karma for "kchris" has been increased 1 time and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 1.
20:48 wizzyrea hehe liw
20:48 liw @karma liw
20:49 huginn liw: Karma for "liw" has been increased 11 times and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 11.
20:49 wizzyrea oh you deserve more than that
20:49 liw I don't even do anything for Koha
20:49 wizzyrea liw++
20:49 bs, you did like, heaps of stuff for the packages that we still use and depend on
20:49 we should praise you every time we koha-create
20:49 :)
20:50 one of the things I particularly like about working with Koha, is that whenever I use a part of it, I can reasonably say that I know the person who made it.
20:51 liw possibly I should try to find an opportunity to do a new bit, but it'd need to be in some kind of sprint with people who know Koha, some day
20:51 tcohen joined #koha
20:51 wizzyrea (but seriously, without the kick in the pants you gave the packaging, nobody would have ever gotten around to it)
20:52 liw I'm really glad it helped the Koha community :)
20:52 wizzyrea <3
20:52 liw Koha continues to be one of nicer free software communities, ever
20:53 even if I learn to never, ever anger research librarians, for they politely show you every way in which you're wrong, and use footnotes and source references
20:53 wizzyrea hahaha!
20:54 it's funny because it's true
20:55 liw beginning of 2010 was a year when things happened
20:55 however, now sleep should happen to me
20:55 wizzyrea sleep well :)
