10:24 owen    Hi
10:24 kados   morning owen
23:15 rachel  hi jo
17:51 kados   that's cool
17:51 kados   ahh ... yea chris told me about them
17:51 rachel  3 branches, rural library
17:50 rachel  they are anouncing to the library managers meeting
17:50 rachel  Rangitikei public library -
17:48 kados   or are theey announcing on the list?
17:48 kados   so can you say who it is?
17:47 kados   Koha's time has come
17:47 kados   sweet!
17:47 rachel  our new library client is anouncing themselves today
17:46 rachel  ok cool
17:46 kados   freehand is fine ... I have MX
17:46 rachel  ah no, they are freehand files, they may be pdfs
17:45 rachel  they don't need to be super thick - but there is a bit of a trick to getting them folded nicely (involves a butter knife and ruler to score first)
17:45 kados   are they Gimp files?
17:45 kados   well when you get a chance I'd love the files
17:44 kados   right ... makes sense
17:44 rachel  before cutting them out
17:44 rachel  but the big ones we then double sheeted - so spray glued them onto another bit of card
17:44 rachel  the small ones they had thick enough card
17:43 rachel  so we took them down to a printing out place to do
17:43 kados   (which I think A1 is)
17:43 kados   (we don't have an 8.5x11 printer)
17:43 kados   makes sense ... I suppose we could get it printed locally at Kinkos or something
17:42 rachel  and we got some printed on A1 Ithink it was which makes boxes A4 sized
17:42 rachel  we got some printed out on A4 paper, which makes boexst sort of cd case sized
17:42 kados   (and size of paper?)
17:42 kados   (and printer)
17:41 kados   what kind of paper did you use?
17:41 rachel  or I can send you the file to get printed etc locally
17:41 rachel  ie printed out and ready to be made up
17:41 rachel  I could just mail you some :-)
17:41 kados   LibLime would like a few for our ALA conference
17:41 kados   yea ... they're really cool
17:40 rachel  you were asking out our cute boxes I believe?
17:40 kados   :-)
17:40 rachel  is v quiet when there are no dogs here
17:40 kados   hey rach
17:40 rachel  hello
17:39 kados   hehe
17:39 si      and probably a bit whiny coz the room is spinning
17:39 si      so she'll be zonked for a few hours this evening
17:39 kados   sounds like a good deal for her owners ;-)
17:39 si      the only downside is that the blood donors need to be sedated as well
17:39 si      and a rebate next time she needs treatment
17:38 si      she'll get a bit of free dentistry while she's in
17:37 kados   huh ... I guess I didn't realize blood transfusions were given to animals ... cool!
17:37 si      so she's in demand at the local vet clinic to help out during difficult operations
17:36 si      olive is a big dog, bloody type universal doner
17:36 kados   sounds dangerous ;-)
17:35 kados   erp?
17:35 si      she should be in shortly, she's just taking the blood doners to the vet
17:33 kados   rach around?
14:00 shaun   owen: in the current system, it is basically (in web-based ILS terms) pure html, with either tables, or fixed-width words with spaces to fill gaps
13:58 owen    shaun, so what would the page look like, to fit your needs?  Is it not possible to modify the template to reach that goal?
13:50 tim     Still have a lot of fumbling to do.
13:50 tim     I've been fumbling my way through for a pretty long time.
13:49 shaun   I'm a hardened n00b - working on template design atm
13:49 shaun   owen: the results should come up in a new window, for easy copy-and-pasting into excel or word (they're still on M$ on the clients) or, ultimately, printing
13:49 tim     I've been here before, but not much recently.
13:45 shaun   back again | hi michael/tim - i don't know you yet...
13:31 michael make some fresh air in my brain for some days to come
13:31 michael hi owen ! i'm happy tonight because i will not work until next wednesday ;-) ouf !
13:29 owen    hi michael
13:28 michael hi all !
13:19 owen    What about a print style sheet?  Would that do the job?
13:17 shaun   *is going again*
13:15 shaun   yes, basically
13:15 shaun   i'm back
13:08 shaun   (i will be back in 10 mins)
13:01 owen    Do you mean a printable version of the search results screen?
13:01 owen    shaun, still there?
12:33 shaun   is there any kind of printable inquiry at the moment? our library finds it useful (using the current propietary solution) to be able to make a print-formatted document automatically, with the basic data and often all of the relevant bibliographical data, with the name of the library at the top, and the search terms listed clearly.
12:01 owen    itemnumber makes its way into the items table, though
