11:34 matias    see ya
11:34 matias    bye all
11:27 matias    see ya later...and thanks again...
11:27 matias    we are going to email that doc for you..ok?
11:27 matias    I´ll work with emiliano this afternoon...we´ll make a doc about about all this reserves things..how it is working until now...and what is our proposal for that..
11:26 paul_away bye, i leave
11:26 paul_away it's supposed to do.
11:26 paul_away it's a bug.
11:26 matias    look..
11:26 paul_away i'll look
11:26 matias    nope
11:25 paul_away strange...
11:25 paul_away but does not show just before the confirm button the reason ?
11:25 matias    ok...go to dinner...thanks a lot for your help
11:25 matias    yeap..it says... This issued needs confirmation and there´s a confirm button...
11:24 paul      it just show "confirm the issue (Y/N)" ?
11:24 paul      it's a bug...
11:24 paul      the confirm box does not show that ?
11:23 matias    ok...now...don´t we have to show to the librarian that you have to confirm because you have a reserve on that book?
11:23 paul      so it works fine
11:23 matias    yes...it is...
11:20 paul      you should see the reserve
11:20 paul      then in the lbrarian interface, search for the member
11:20 matias    ok
11:20 paul      go in OPAC again and reserve again
11:20 paul      s
11:20 paul      so, it work
11:19 matias    it appears a table for the requested items and says none...
11:19 paul      if confirmed => cancel the reserve
11:19 paul      when issuing => ask for confirmation because there is a reserve
11:19 paul      if that's it, then it's working as it's supposed to do.
11:18 paul      does it still appear or is there a "no reserve" ?
11:18 paul      and search for the member that did the reserve
11:18 paul      if you go to members area
11:18 matias    that´s what Idid
11:18 matias    if you confirm => issue the item and set that founded reserve priority to 0
11:18 paul      go to members => search member
11:17 paul      but if you confirm the issue process, you cancel the reserve
11:17 matias    only to confirm...not to cancel...
11:16 matias    when I did it...it appears a warning to confirm that issue procces...
11:16 matias    do you follow me?
11:16 matias    then I went to intranet and try to issued that item...
11:15 matias    I did that from opac...
11:15 matias    its priority was set to 1...
11:15 matias    I made a reserve for an item...
11:15 matias    I didn´t chkc that..but I did this
11:14 paul      does it appear in the reserve list from the borrower entry ?
11:14 paul      meaning it's canceled ?
11:13 matias    when you confirm an issue, it set the reserve´s priority to 0...
11:13 matias    supposely...it handle kind of priorities for reserves...
11:07 matias    oh ok...I´m testing that part right now...
11:03 paul      in fact, i havent' tested reserve a lot yet.
11:03 paul      (not sure it's "deleted". maybe it's marked "canceled")
11:02 paul      it's supposed to be deleted from the DDB
11:02 paul      sorry, i missed your question.
11:02 paul      here
11:02 matias    see ya
11:02 matias    bye people...
11:02 matias    thanks Paul for your help..
11:01 matias    well....gotta go...
10:42 matias    or just annuled it..?
10:42 matias    it delete the reserve from the DBB?
10:42 matias    what do ou mean by remove the reserve...?
10:38 matias    then I may did it wrong...
10:37 matias    and this is what the 2.2 version should do?
10:36 paul      if you don't confirm => don't issue & do nothing for reserve
10:36 paul      if you confirm the issue => remove reserve & issue
10:36 paul      no
10:36 paul      if you confirm=> stop the issue
10:35 paul      asking if you confirm & remove the reserve
10:35 matias    I mean...should it stop the issue proccess?
10:35 paul      there should be a warning
10:35 matias    what should happend when you want to issue an item...and you have a reserve for it?...
10:33 matias    an I ask you a question?
10:31 matias    how are you?
10:31 matias    hi paul..I´m glad to find ou... :-)

08:55 matias    and then I tried to issued that book from intranet...
08:54 matias    and to test it...I made a reserved for a book from opac...

17:22 Joann     CHris: good luck with wedding
17:22 kados     hi there

17:21 Joann     Goodmorning all
17:16 chris     heh excellent
17:15 si        http://masseynews.massey.ac.nz/2004/Press_Releases/06_11_04.html
17:15 chris     http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/g.mckenzie/Radio%20Dish/Radio%20aerial.htm <--not the one i was thinking off, but cool nonetheless
17:13 kados     maybe that's it
17:13 si        ahh, the fish slice aerials?
17:13 chris     someone at the university here made an antenna from a wok, i wonder if i can find a url
17:12 kados     no
17:12 chris     did you see the wok one joshua?
17:12 kados     I've done a couple of these with great success
17:12 kados     http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/antennas/mypringles.html
17:12 si        mmm, pringles cans
17:12 kados     :-)
17:11 chris     they dont have an email address :)
17:11 kados     ahh ... you could always pringles can it
17:11 chris     i dont have to much hope
17:11 chris     but yeah, its a possible maybe .. which is why i was planning to scope it out when we got there
17:11 chris     its in the middle of a park
17:11 kados     you won't believe how many open waps are about
17:11 chris     i dont think so
17:10 kados     depending on the locale you may be able to hop on someone's WAP
17:10 si        is tha tlikely?
17:09 chris     yep, the trick i think will be getting net at the place
17:09 si        and I'm sure there's a bunch of people back here who'd like to see the ceremony
17:08 chris     heh
17:08 kados     :-)
17:08 si        which is no biggy
17:07 chris     ah right
17:07 si        $230 for the audio module as well
17:06 chris     well normal digital video :) i was only gonna a try a webcam if i could get a stream going :)
17:06 chris     we have a fancy DV camera from TLC to use for normal video
17:06 chris     i was planning to grab a webcam over there, once i saw if it was going to be possible to get some kinda net access
17:04 si        and if we could pick one up in the states somewhere
17:04 si        unfortuanately, I don't have the audio add on
17:03 si        the good ones, yes
17:01 kados     yowser ... really expensive suckers
17:00 chris     is that what citylink uses for its webcams si?
17:00 kados     see ya owen
17:00 kados     and runs linux
17:00 kados     http://alllinuxdevices.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2000-11-01-006-03-OP-HW
16:59 kados     wow ... that babys got a nic
16:58 si        complete with monster zoom lens
16:58 chris     ohhh si
16:58 owen      I've got one here in Chauncey that's not being used (because I'm using the ibook for web site tests)
16:57 chris     might well be the easiest way
16:57 kados     I'm thinking of just snagging one of the library cams and converting it when I get back...looks like these USB webcams are hard to use with linux
16:56 kados     hehe
16:56 chris     know=knew
16:56 chris     who know my 79 year old grandma would have internet in her rest home, and ask about a web camera
16:56 chris     heh
16:55 owen      Who knew we'd ever need to worry about net access for weddings? :)
16:55 chris     depending on if the venue has any net access
16:54 chris     i might try to get a webcam going for the wedding too
16:51 chris     http://r2.co.nz/
16:51 kados     ahh
16:50 chris     people at citylink do, but im not sure if they use linux
16:50 chris     not me
16:50 kados     chris, you do some of that, eh?
16:49 kados     anyone know of good video software for linux?
16:48 tim       The sound's awful on ours.
16:48 kados     yep
16:48 tim       It would be like a public access cable channel.
16:47 kados     that'd be ideal
16:47 tim       The webcam would be cool.  Could you record it so we could watch it whenever we want?
16:46 chris     :-)
16:46 tim       I forgot a bunch of stuff about that from a class I took.
16:46 kados     I should really try to get a webcam on our Koha sessions
16:46 owen      (mysterious because it didn't work when we tried it)
16:46 owen      Like Paul's mysterious ISBD
16:46 chris     the existing system a lot of poeple are using in india has a AARC2 view .. which i suspect is just a way of ordering the information u display to the public
16:45 chris     :-)
16:45 tim       filled with gibberish...
16:44 chris     ahh right
16:44 tim       Big 3-ring binder.
16:43 tim       Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules.
16:41 kados     :-)
16:41 chris     theres not often nothing else to do :-)
16:39 kados     hehe
16:38 kados     msg owen I guess I should search our catalog first :-)
16:34 chris     heh
16:33 owen      :)
16:33 kados     hehe
16:33 chris     Koha : 1 billion indians cant be wrong
16:33 chris     then we can say
16:33 chris     yeah
16:33 owen      That's great.  Seems like a prime market: low-budget, tech-savvy, English speaking.
16:33 chris     its good to see, argentina and india .. koha usage seems to be taking off
16:31 chris     theres quite a few members of the indian one now
16:31 chris     koha interest group
16:31 owen      o O (KIG?)
16:31 chris     they are gonna have a crack at making an AARC2 theme for the opac
16:31 kados     but not much
16:31 kados     well I had a brief stint with AACR2 when I did some research for my Z-server
16:30 kados     hehe
16:30 owen      kados: it was too good an idea for someone not to be actually doing it!
16:30 chris     or more a way of displaying catalogue info
16:30 kados     nope
16:30 chris     its a cataloguing standard as far as i can tell
16:30 kados     :-)
16:30 owen      chris: no
16:30 kados     lemme check
16:30 chris     excellent
16:30 kados     don't tell :-)
16:29 chris     owen and or joshua, u guys no much about AACR2
16:29 kados     shhh
16:13 owen      If anyone's interested, here's a link to the PDF of the first day's schedule, when Joshua and I are speaking: http://olc.org/wednesdayschedule.pdf
16:12 chris     just plug into the wall, dhcp an address and u were away
16:12 chris     the holiday inn in cleveland had free access
16:12 owen      Oh yeah!  That was very helpful.
16:11 chris     maybe it will be like the redroof inn, with ethernet jacks in the wall, but them not being connected to anything :-)
16:11 owen      kados: do you know?
16:11 owen      Hopefully the hotel where we're staying will have a better policy (I'm not even sure where that is!)
16:10 chris     yep
16:10 owen      It'd be cheaper, either way!
16:10 chris     string cat-5 up thru the windows :-)
16:09 chris     :-)
16:09 owen      The libraries should set up some guerilla access points all around the facility, blanket the whole place with wi-fi.
16:08 chris     yeah thats really steep
16:08 owen      I can't believe they can get away with it.
16:07 chris     right
16:07 owen      Well, it's the hotel that's doing the charging, and though it's in a different city, I think it's the same hotel--Hilton.
16:06 chris     ohh i remember they wanted to charge us the last time too .. same crowd?
16:06 chris     ack
16:06 owen      that'd be a little too technologically-advanced for this facility.  They want to charge $100 per day per conference room for internet access!
16:05 chris     gonna have a webcam so we can all watch? :-)
16:04 owen      Joshua's also involved with the planning and preparation, so he's got even more to think about.
16:04 owen      We're both giving talks next week.
15:57 rach      joshua how did your talk go?
15:55 owen      I've been working on slides (yes, in CSS!).  The hardest part is judging how long the talk will take.  I don't know if I've got too little or too much.
15:54 kados     that took all day
15:54 kados     sheesh
15:54 kados     I think I finally finished writing emails for the OLC annual
15:53 kados     yea I hit enter by mistake
15:53 owen      Well, you got my attention anyway!
15:53 kados     oops
15:53 kados     hehe
15:53 kados     msg owen
