15:43 chris thats of course nz time
15:43 chris dewey is an infobot
15:43 chris dewey?
15:43 dewey chris?
15:44 chris what are you?
15:44 chris dewey: what are you?
15:44 dewey i am an infobot
15:44 chris it learns from is/was constructs
15:45 kados dewey: what were you?
15:45 dewey i don't know, kados
15:45 chris hehe
15:46 chris dewey: status?
15:46 dewey Since Tue May 16 20:12:17 2006, there have been 7 modifications and 19 questions. I have been awake for 12 hours, 34 minutes, 27 seconds this session, and currently reference 24 factoids. Addressing is in optional mode.
15:46 chris so hes pretty dumb at the moment
15:47 chris but he'll learn
15:47 chris bugs?
15:47 dewey bugs is http://bugs.koha.org
15:47 owen So every time I say "X is Y" dewey remembers it?
15:47 chris yep
15:47 chris if its not already set
15:47 owen >:-)
15:50 kados dewey: your namesake is Melvil Dewey, the inventor of the Dewey Decimal Classification system for library classification.
15:50 dewey OK, kados.
15:50 kados dewey: who is your namesake
15:50 dewey dewey's namesake is, like, Melvil Dewey, the inventor of the Dewey Decimal Classification system for library classification
15:50 kados hehe
15:50 owen The 'like' is a nice touch
15:50 kados yea :-)
15:50 kados I played with a perl-based infobot for a while
15:50 kados can't remember which one
15:51 kados it was a blast though
15:54 chris infobot is all written in perl
15:54 chris i bet i could write a koha.pl module for it :-)
15:54 chris dewey: search koha for cryptimonicon
15:54 dewey chris: i'm not following you...
15:55 chris that would be kinda cool
15:55 chris pointless but cool
15:57 kados hehe
15:57 kados that would be cool
15:57 kados actually, I think the infobot in code4lib might already be able to do some stuff like that
15:57 kados I haven't played with it too much
15:58 chris yeah, it wouldnt be hard to do
15:58 chris formatting results nicely would be the hardest bit
16:03 kados chris: remember that processlist cron job we set up?
16:03 kados once in a while I see the following:
16:03 kados | 850 | kohaadmin | localhost | kohacrru | Sleep | 23705 | |
16:03 kados +|
16:03 kados that lasts for a few hours
16:03 kados then goes away
16:04 chris right, what user does our processlist job connect as?
16:04 chris kohaadmin?
16:04 kados root I think
16:05 chris k, so it could be a connection open at the commandline
16:05 chris thats not doing anything at the moment
16:05 kados ahh
16:05 kados must be ryan ;-)
16:05 chris :)
16:06 chris i wouldnt worry unless there are a lot of them
16:06 kados yea, never been more than two or three
16:06 kados btw ...
16:06 chris yes?
16:06 kados the xml probs we're having with the new editor
16:06 kados I'm at a loss for where to go
16:07 kados s/where to go/what to do/
16:07 kados that little test script we write
16:07 kados wrote even
16:07 chris yep
16:07 kados that just goes from xml back to binary
16:07 kados loses tons of data
16:08 chris hmm
16:08 chris so i guess our next question is ... is it the marc->xml that loses data, or the xml->marc
16:08 chris if its xml->marc we will have to rethink the editor .. if its marc->xml .. we'll just have to not use that
16:09 kados hmmm
16:10 chris i think we may be safer going back to creating the marc record without using xml
16:11 chris since it doesnt seem to be reliable
16:12 chris which is really annoying
16:12 chris since its much much more elegant using xml
16:13 chris but not at all fault tolerant it seems
16:13 kados yea
16:13 kados that's a real bummer
16:14 kados because it might mean that we can't really handle xml properly in Koha
16:14 kados at least with the current tools
16:15 chris well it might mean we cant convert from xml to marc with the current tools
16:16 chris using the marc::file::xml anyway
16:18 chris http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/8301/?cpg=wnrss
16:18 chris for something completely random
16:20 kados hehe
16:43 russ hi
16:49 owen dewey: what is which?
16:49 dewey which is really annoying
02:05 chris bonjour pierrick

02:11 paul soccer is the 1st religion in Marseille. christian being the 2nd !
02:11 chris hehe
02:12 chris we went to the supermarket near the beach, and bought food and had a picnic on the beach
02:12 paul (but when our team, OM, is in final or the european soccer cup (3 years ago), everybody reaches la bonne mère to light a candle. including muslims !)
02:12 paul s/or/of/
02:12 chris :-)
02:13 chris there were lots and lots and lots of italian and spanish tourists at la bonne mere
02:14 chris maybe lighting candles for real madrid, and milan :-)
02:15 paul milan ? why ?
02:15 paul atm, if an italian city had to light some candles, it would be Turin :
02:15 chris i dunno, it was the only italian soccer team i could think of
02:16 paul they are in the center of a very very very large scandal
02:16 chris ohhh yes, the matchfixing?
02:16 paul including buying some match results...
02:16 paul yep
02:16 chris right i saw that on cnn at one of the airports
02:16 paul they are italian champion, and could be put in 3rd division next year ! would be bankrupcy for sure
02:17 chris wow, they better start lighting those candles
02:30 chris soccer?
02:30 dewey soccer is the 1st religion in Marseille. christian being the 2nd !
02:30 chris dewey is learning more :-)
02:33 paul koha is the best free ILS
02:33 paul free ILS ?
02:33 paul ILS?

07:43 kados hi there alaurin
07:47 paul_lunch hello kados
07:52 kados hi paul
07:52 paul hi joshua (on phone atm)
07:53 kados and get back to normal busyness :-)
07:58 alaurin hi everybobody
09:26 alaurin i've got a question, i'm working on a program who use the sub ItemType (In search.pm), but this function is not in the 'head' cvs, is there an another way to obtain the info itemtype ???
09:27 alaurin or can I reload it on the head search.pm ????
09:33 pierrick alaurin, what is ItemType supposed to do ? in the files I'll send you tonight, there is a new function get_itemtypeinfos_of which should fit your need
09:36 alaurin ItemType was a function to display the itemtype info in my version (2.2.5) (it sounds like you're fonction)
09:37 pierrick are you sure it "displays" the information ?
09:37 pierrick with get_itemtypeinfos_of you can do:
09:37 pierrick my $itemtypeinfos_of = get_itemtypeinfos_of(@itemtypes);
09:38 pierrick print $itemtypeinfos_of->{$itemtype}{description};
09:49 kados hey owen
09:49 kados long time no see :-)
09:49 owen :)
10:06 antoine hi all
