Time Nick Message 00:09 Steven anybody there? 00:10 Steven i still haven't solve my problem for crontab fines.pl 00:10 Steven it is really appreciate if somebody can give me some guide on it 00:11 robin Steven: you haven't said what your problem is. 00:11 Steven i cant make the fines.pl works to me 00:12 Steven i have read the cronjob.example.......but i have no idea how to set the env variable in the first place 00:12 Steven especially the kona-conf.xml and build_zebra.pl 00:13 Steven i have to run a cronjob for these 2 variable first? 00:13 robin You mean the PERL5LIB and KOHA_CONF ones? 00:13 Steven yaya 00:14 Steven this 2 files were located in different path.....so i cant use the example given in the cronjob.example 00:14 robin you just put those in the crontab file like they are in the example, and they will be set when they are used. 00:14 robin Oh. Just edit those lines in your actual crontab. 00:15 Steven let me give u my actually path for both files...can u pls write the crontab for me? 00:16 robin Not the whole thing, but it's just a matter of changing the paths of the values given to those variables. 00:16 Steven my koha-conf.xml is located at /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml, my rebuild_zebra.pl located at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl 00:16 Steven but there are 2 example in the cronjob.example 00:17 Steven which one should i use.....single core base or separate core base 00:17 robin In that case, you'll set: KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml 00:18 robin I'd expect just the same codebase one. 00:18 Steven okok.... 00:19 Steven so the fines.pl will only work after i have run the cronjob for these 2 env variables? 00:19 robin the 'PERL5LIB' one will need to change also, that will point to the directory that the Koha Perl libraries are in. 00:19 robin It should do, yes. 00:20 Steven so i will need to put 2 actions in the crontab? one is the env varible which run first.......then for fines.pl? 00:21 Steven so the PERL5LIB is it the path to the rebuild_zebra.pl? 00:21 robin No, you set the environment variables up first, and then they will apply to the commands that are run later. 00:21 Steven i dont get it....pls explain more... 00:21 Steven how to set it? 00:22 robin PERL5LIB should be the directory that Koha is extracted to. It'll probably have a subdirectory called "C4" among other things. 00:23 robin In the crontab file, you set these values, and then the commands like fines.pl will use them. 00:24 robin It tells them where to find the information they need to run, especially where to find the koha configuration, and where to find the koha libraries. 00:24 Steven i m really noob on it.....not use to ubuntu actually 00:25 Steven just guide me step by step 00:25 Steven so what i have to do in the very first place.... 00:25 robin It's hard to guide you, because I don't have all the information. Start with: how did you install Koha? 00:25 robin And what version are you using? 00:26 Steven i m using 3.0.6...under Ubuntu server edition...i m using the Koha Live CD at the beginning 00:27 Steven so after Ubuntu is installed....i run the Koha Installer Wizard from the firefox browser....and set up koha for installation 00:28 robin ah. I haven't seen how the koha live CD sets things up, looking now. 00:28 robin From the look of this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kohalivecd/files/release-notes/readme.r5.txt/view 00:28 robin it should be ready to go, and you don't need to set the crontabs. 00:28 robin (as in, it should be doing it for you) 00:29 Steven no there is no crontab running.....in the first place 00:30 Steven i have key in some sample for testing.... 00:30 Steven even the system show the title is overdue....but fines is remain at zero 00:31 robin ah. Hmm. 00:33 robin I'd really expect that it's running it for you. Have a look in /var/log/syslog and see if you see a line along the lines of CRON[12345]: (root) CMD ( .... fines.pl ...) 00:33 robin that'll let you know that it is being run. 00:34 robin Otherwise, I'm not sure. I've never used the live CD, someone who has may have to help you out there. Oh, you do have fines set in the borrower profile in the administration? 00:34 robin 'patron categories' is what I mean by that... 00:35 Steven setting is all done under the koha admin.....finemode is in 'production'.....circulation rules is done too 00:36 robin OK. I'm not sure then, it seems strange to me that it's not set up to work by default. 00:37 robin But, like I said, I've never used it, and don't have time at the moment to try installing it. 00:37 Steven there is no crontab being running.....i have check under terminal with crontab -l 00:37 robin Maybe ask on the mailing list. I think everyone else here must be asleep :) 00:37 robin crontab -l won't tell you about the system crontabs, just user ones. 00:38 Steven can u give me some guide to set up the 2 env variables? 00:38 Steven i assume the fines.pl is only working after i set up the 2 env varibales 00:38 robin have a look in /etc/crontab and /etc/cron.d to see if there's anything relating to koha in any of them. 00:39 Steven i dont have crontab directory......cron.d has nothing about koha 00:40 robin 'cat /etc/crontab' should give you something... 00:43 * robin has to go to lunch 00:47 Steven wait let me check n see 00:54 Steven robin u went out for lunch? 00:55 Steven there is a CRON :(root) CMD (...fines.pl...) in the syslog 01:02 Steven anybody there? 01:07 larsw what's up? 01:08 Steven my fines.pl is not working 01:09 Steven so i was wondering....is it bcoz i have not set up the 2 env varibale 01:09 larsw the syslog entry would indicate that cron does run it, so the problem must be something else; I know nothing about how fines.pl works, though, so can't help much there 01:10 Steven larsw,....u have idea on how to set up the 2 env variables....KOHA_CONF and PERL5LIB 01:11 larsw they should be set in the apache config: /etc/apache2/sites-available/foo for some value of foo 01:12 Steven bcoz i assume this is the reason y fines.pl is running but nothing being charge to the patron in koha system 01:15 Steven bcoz stated in the cronjob.example file....i need to set the 2 env variable first..... 01:15 Steven and i have no idea how to set it up 01:15 chris if you look at the example, it sets the 2 values 01:15 chris you just copy that, and change the paths 01:16 larsw ah yeah, cronjob does not run from apache, silly me 01:17 chris # ENVIRONMENT: 01:17 chris # First, establish Koha's two important ENV variables. 01:17 chris PERL5LIB=/path/to/where/C4_lives 01:17 chris KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml 01:17 chris you will definitely have to change the first path, but the 2nd might be right 01:17 Steven yaya....where i can find my C4_lives path? 01:18 Steven the PERL5LIB is it leading to the rebuild_zebra.pl? 01:18 chris no 01:18 chris look in /usr/share/koha/lib 01:18 chris is there a directory in there called C4 ? 01:19 chris if so 01:19 chris then /usr/share/koha/lib is what you set PERL5LIB to 01:19 Steven okok.....pls guide me on how to write in on the crontab 01:20 Steven how to establish them? 01:20 chris you just put those lines in, like i pasted, but with the right paths, at the top 01:21 Steven so the PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib.....m i right? 01:22 chris if that is where your C4 directory is 01:22 chris did you check? 01:22 Steven yaya...there is a C4 directory there 01:22 chris yep then that line 01:22 chris plus the KOHA_CONF= 01:22 chris one 01:23 Steven ok...first i type crontab -e in terminal 01:23 Steven then i key in it?\ 01:23 chris yes 01:25 Steven then? 01:25 chris its above your other entries in that file right? 01:25 Steven yaya 01:26 chris then quit the editor 01:26 Steven but below it i got the cronjob for koha-conf.xml, rebuild_zebra.pl and fines.pl....how? 01:27 chris what? 01:27 Steven bcoz b4 that i have set the crontab for fines.pl...... 01:28 Steven i m still in the editor now..... 01:30 Steven so after the 2 env variable written in the crontab...folllowing is like */10 * * * * KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl 01:30 Steven so should i delete it....or just leave it there? 01:31 chris are you using zebra? 01:31 Steven not really 01:31 chris take the line out then 01:33 Steven then how about the fines? eg. 1 0 * * * /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/fines.pl......? 01:33 chris don't you want to run the fines? 01:33 chris if you do, leave it there 01:33 Steven yes of course.... 01:34 Steven all i want is to get the overdue fine generated automatically 01:34 Steven so? 01:35 chris so leave that line there 01:35 Steven then is it mean the 2 env varibales are established? 01:36 chris hopefully 01:37 Steven wait let me try to overdue fine first...to see whether it got auto-generated or not.... 01:37 chris it wont 01:37 chris until that cronjob runs 01:38 Steven i will change the system time for it... 01:40 Steven so the fines will be added into the patron acc? 01:41 Steven it works!!!!!!!!!!!!! 01:42 chris cool 01:42 Steven ok....next step now is how to do back up process? 01:43 Steven using crontab too? 01:59 Steven anybody? 02:44 Steven chris: u there? 02:44 wasabi code_mule: nice handle chris ;) 02:45 code_mule its what /me feels like atm :) 02:47 wasabi Steven: you can back up your mysql database using mysqldump 02:47 wasabi http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqldump.html 02:48 code_mule ok, now that I've churned out a patch its bedtime 02:48 chris_n g'night 02:48 chris :) 02:49 Steven anyway to use crontab for backup?

They're controlled by other things. you want process_message_queue to run more frequently, as check in and checkout notices aren't done by a cron at all, as I see it. 13:39 nengard according to the manual (which may be wrong) i wrote that misc/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl and misc/cronjobs/advance_notices.pl put things in the message queue and then misc/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl sends the messages 13:39 druthb Exactly. 13:39 nengard k - hold messages then 13:39 nengard they're in the message queue 13:39 nengard which means they can only be sent once a day if i set it to send out the advanced notice and the overdues once a day 13:39 druthb Those go in the message queue, and are put there when you trigger the hold, not by a cron. 13:40 nengard oh?! 13:40 druthb process_message_queue can run every hour if you like. 13:40 nengard oh!! it has all just clicked!!! 13:40 nengard :) 13:40 druthb It looks in message_queue, and processes whatever is *there*, and that's all. 13:40 nengard i get it - i use the other crons to decide when to put the messages in the queue - so that i do once a day but i send messages found in the queue every hour and it won't send overdues and advanced notice unless i had that set to put them in the queue 13:41 nengard thank you! 13:41 Fred One question (as usual ) when i do a search on opac and when i got this message '::84: parser error : PCDATA invalid Char value 2' with the subfield, it means i need to clean up my records no? 13:48 kf nengard: I think the message_queue job only sends out the mails marked as pending 13:48 nengard yup 13:48 kf I think we run it hourly, because of holds messages 13:48 nengard next question - there is a cron for print hold notices, but not for print overdues? is that part of the main overdue cron? 13:48 druthb correct, nengard. 13:49 nengard thank you 13:51 nengard i think that the enhancedmessaging preference should be in circulation along with the other notices/msgs - anyone disagree? 13:51 kf where is it now? but sounds logical 13:52 nengard patrons 13:52 kf a new group in in circulation would be nice 13:53 nengard of messages? 13:53 kf I think checkout policy is not quite right 13:54 kf hm I think there are a lot of sys prefs you can argue about 13:54 kf OpacFineNoRenewals is under OPAC, but I think circulation > fines would be nice too 13:54 nengard yeah i know ... 13:54 nengard guess that's the next system pref rewrite :) a way to have one pref in multiple places :) 13:55 kf hm might be confusing, better one in a different structure 13:57 nengard maxfine is under patrons too ... but seems to be a circ pref 13:58 kf yep 13:58 kf I normally search for fines and get a lot of save buttons :) 13:59 kf ie and new acq dont like each other 14:00 kf hi wizzyrea 14:00 wizzyrea hwy 14:01 wizzyrea ER 14:01 wizzyrea heya 14:02 wizzyrea how is everyone today 14:03 sekjal wizzyrea: not too bad. you? 14:03 * jwagner is grumpy, dunno about anyone else :-( 14:03 * mle is also quite grumpy but really trying hard to stay optimistic 14:03 mle : D 14:03 wizzyrea wowie, ok.

Maybe that would help the general grumpiness level. Or maybe it wouldn't. 14:13 druthb jwagner: now, if we could deal with the noisy neighbor in between our offices... 14:16 kf why are my budgets and funds not showing up on acq start page? 14:16 kf why? 14:17 * kf gets even grumpier 14:17 * jwagner sends chocolate to kf 14:19 * mle passes out chocolate truffles 14:19 kf jwagner 14:19 kf it gets even better: cant change my library, because all pull downs have only one entry 14:19 kf altough I have 3 libraries in my system 14:19 kf jwagner = thx jwagner 14:21 kf any ideas? 14:25 kf I cant even select a branch on login 14:25 kf I checked independent branches and singlebrnachmode 14:28 nengard oh crap!! i just got a call - i was supposed to be teaching a workshop this morning - but i had it on the calendar for next monday!!!! waiting to hear back to se eif they want me to do it this afternoon instead - this is a sign that i'm overbooked!!!!!! 14:30 magnus nengard: and ripe for a bit of a summer holiday? ;-) 14:31 nengard i'm ripe for a year long holiday - but i'd never take it - too much of a workaholic 14:31 nengard anyway, i'm dressed and ready to leave the house for presenting if they call and say to come anyway 14:31 nengard i feel so so so bad 14:31 kf forget what I asked...

I don't know enought about unAPI and COINS to know if unAPI can just be removed from the page. 15:06 owen Yeah me neither 15:06 jcamins owen, collum: I don't know anything unAPI, but I can tell you that removing it made Zotero play nice with our catalog. I'm not sure what else uses unAPI. 15:07 jcamins (I mean, we had it disabled for months, and never encountered any problems with that) 15:08 owen jcamins: You can use unAPI to grab XML data from the catalog for use by other web applications, but in my tests I always used the distinct unapi url I think (rather than opac-detail) 15:08 jcamins Ah. 15:11 nengard okay talk rescheduled 15:11 nengard now back to the manual 15:11 nengard but first to change back into comfy clothes versus my presentation outfit 15:11 nengard :) 15:11 nengard :( sekjal you can have the chocolate that kf gave me 15:11 nengard and you can have my help if you can use it :) 15:12 * magnus heads back to the woods 15:12 * owen wonders where he put that unapi test he put together 15:12 sekjal thanks, nengard. I think part of the stress is coming off a nice weekend into fairly urgent stuff, first thing 15:12 nengard yeah - that happens :( 15:14 wizzyrea Where do tadpoles change? 15:14 wizzyrea In a croakroom! 15:14 druthb woah... wizzyrea, where on *earth* did you find that? 15:15 wizzyrea I cannot reveal my secrets. 15:15 druthb heheh 15:15 wizzyrea What is "out of bounds"? 15:15 wizzyrea An exhausted kangaroo! 15:15 wizzyrea munin needs jokes 15:15 munin wizzyrea: Error: "needs" is not a valid command. 15:16 jwagner munin needs a sense of humor, too.... 15:16 munin jwagner: Error: "needs" is not a valid command. 15:16 nengard LOL 15:42 wizzyrea What do you call an American drawing? 15:42 wizzyrea Yankee doodle! 15:43 nengard hehe - are you at home with your little one?? 15:43 wizzyrea lol no 15:43 wizzyrea everybody was grumpy 15:43 wizzyrea I am bringing cheer to the grumpy mondays of #koha! 15:43 * wizzyrea channels Galadriel, in a funny way 15:44 * jwagner applauds wizzyrea's efforts, but isn't sure they're working.... 15:44 wizzyrea aw 15:44 wizzyrea ok fine. :/ 15:45 jwagner Sorry, go-live days are always a little grumpy-producing.... 15:45 druthb keep trying though; your jokes are cleaner than mine. 15:45 wizzyrea ooh yea 15:46 wizzyrea Here's another interesting book title: "Race To The Outhouse" by these authors: 15:46 wizzyrea Will E. Makit and Betty Wont ! 15:46 nengard NO WAY!! :) hehe 15:46 wizzyrea lol, I highly doubt it 15:46 wizzyrea but I made you laugh! 15:47 wizzyrea How do you get a book to like you? 15:47 wizzyrea You check it out. 15:47 * druthb groans.. 15:47 wizzyrea ok sorry 15:47 wizzyrea business. 15:51 * jwagner starts singing tunes from How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying 15:52 wizzyrea I think my work here is done. We've got her singing, I think that's improvement. :) 15:54 cait hi again all 15:55 wizzyrea hey cait 15:56 cait ice cream, cold shower, cool apartment *sighs happily* 15:57 wizzyrea you missed joke time in #koha 15:57 druthb welcome back, cait. :) 15:57 hdl jwagner: are you on a golive day ? 15:57 jwagner Yep. And doing the dataload myself instead of harassing others :-( 15:58 * hdl sympathizes 15:58 jwagner I don't speak MySQL! Fortunately, I can harass druthb, at least.... 15:58 jwagner Speaking of which... 15:58 jwagner druthb++ # both for helping & for not yelling at me :-) 15:59 jwagner Ya know, now I know why I wanted to get into project management. It's so I can harass OTHERS instead of doing the work myself :-) 16:02 * druthb enjoyed giving jwagner the chops to do her own dataloads. now that she's learned how, a few more practice go-rounds, she'll be ready to take it over without help. 16:03 * jwagner thinks druthb is overly optimistic, there. 16:05 druthb That's why I said a "few". Deliberately vague. 16:42 owen Hmmm... the calendar tables have a slot for "title," the template outputs "title," but the interface won't let you add or edit a title along with the other details 17:27 * druthb grumps a little, about paranoid network administrators. 17:29 collum Are you talking about me druthb? :) 17:29 wizzyrea speaking of paranoia 17:30 wizzyrea was someone working on a web interface "download this whole DB" function? 17:30 druthb nope. A certain paranoia is a useful job skill, but there is such a thing as Way Too Much. Blocking *outbound* connections from a server that almost no-one has a login to, approaches that very closely. 17:31 druthb :-O 17:31 wizzyrea because I was going to remind them that it needs to be extra secure :P 17:31 druthb wizzyrea: while I can see the usefulness of being able to snap off a backup whenever you like....*shudder* 17:31 jwagner wizzyrea, I'd personally remind them that it's a Bad Idea.... 17:32 wizzyrea well when I think of such a thing, I think of it more like "scheduule this to be done" 17:32 jwagner As opposed to "do this right now and bring my server to a screaming halt?" 17:33 wizzyrea hehe yes, something like that. I can fathom several ways around that, but it all involves more hardware 17:34 jwagner Circ question -- a renewal should have the same time period as the original checkout, yes? If the checkout was two weeks, the renewal should also be two weeks? 17:34 wizzyrea not necessarily 17:34 jwagner I knew that was coming, sigh.... 17:34 wizzyrea some of our libs have 2 week checkout, 1 week renewals 17:34 jwagner What are the exceptions? 17:35 cait wizzyrea: how do they do it with koha? 17:35 wizzyrea well I'll have to look, gimme a min (gosh, I hope I'm not saying something crazy wrong here...) 17:35 cait jwagner: im even worse, I think renewal should only be allowed x days before the item is due... but this does not work with koha now 17:35 jwagner I'm not seeing any place to specify a time period for a renewal. 17:36 cait jwagner: I dont think its possible in current koha, but I saw a development lik that on biblibres git I think 17:36 jwagner We have some development along those lines too, but not on this particular system. 17:36 wizzyrea no, I stand corrected, there isn't a place to set that 17:37 wizzyrea i'm probably remembering the discussion that "we want to do this" "well we can't" 17:37 wizzyrea sorry, I'll be quiet now 17:39 cait yep, biblibre has a renewals period in smart rules 17:40 jwagner Aha! figured out the problem -- different circ rules between branches. Seems like the circ rule for the patron applied to the original checkout, but the circ rule for the library owning the item (different from patron) applied to the renewal. Much puzzlement. 17:40 jwagner Should it work that way? 17:40 wizzyrea yep, that's one we know of 17:40 wizzyrea no 17:40 wizzyrea there's a bug in bugzilla for it 17:41 wizzyrea I believe it's one of our pets 17:41 wizzyrea http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3378 17:41 munin 04Bug 3378: major, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Renewal policy should match pickup library's policies 17:41 jwagner Yep, just found that one.

You just paste in a snippet of css? You don't have to paste the whole file? 18:58 wizzyrea or point it to the website 18:58 owen jwagner: The use I see for it is to put in the URL of an existing file (or upload one) so that you can see the palette of existing colors. That gives you the opportunity to pick an existing color before adding a new one to the CSS 18:58 jwagner Somewhat related question -- is there any tool online that can look at an image file & say what the color is? If someone's trying to match, say, the masthead to an existing image? 18:59 owen Maybe this? http://www.colr.org/ I don't know how precise it is. 19:00 jwagner Looks like it lets you upload an image file -- could be very useful.

Why do we have to wait to process letter in order to know who/which adress/which phone number we are sending the letter to ? 20:21 gmcharlt hdl: well, there's a mild argument for waiting until the queue is processed to determine the address, to guarantee that the most current address is used 20:21 gmcharlt but most important thing is ensuring that the address is determined in exactly one spot in the code 20:23 hdl well if it was only done in EnqueueLetter, this would be quite interesting since you would keep the adress you send the notice to in the database. And would be able to produce that to user in case of argument. 20:25 cait good night all 20:25 hdl and if process_message_queue is done once an hour, the argument about the "accurate" address is questionable. 20:30 hdl But I agree with you about "most important thing is ensuring that the address is determined in exactly one spot in the code" 20:37 jcamins Does anyone know anything about the merge_authorities.pl script described in the manual? 20:40 jcamins Specifically, what is its relationship to the merge_authority.pl script that's actually in 3.2? 20:45 hdl jcamins: ? 20:46 hdl should be about the same thing. 20:46 jcamins That's what I would've thought, but they seem to be about totally different things. 20:46 jcamins http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=a11146 20:47 jcamins If you go down to L.1.5.2, it says merge_authorities.pl is related to the dontmerge syspref. 20:47 jcamins But merge_authority.pl seems to take two authorities, and merge them into one. 20:48 nengard what was the question for me?? 20:49 jcamins What is the relationship between merge_authorities.pl (described in the manual) and merge_authority.pl. 20:50 jcamins Does the second replace the first, and, if so, how? 20:50 jcamins Oops. There was supposed to be a question mark tere. 20:50 nengard oh that's not a manual question :) i didn't know there was a new file - if there is a new file maybe i'm supposed to update the documentation ... what does the perl doc for each say? 20:50 nengard or is it a typo on my part? 20:51 jcamins I don't think it's a typo, because merge_authority.pl doesn't seem to have anything to do with dontmerge. 20:52 jcamins I can't find any merge_authorities.pl script at all, but there's still a dontmerge syspref. 20:53 hdl jcamins: there are two modes of processing authorities 20:53 hdl jcamins: and MergeAuthoritiesOnUpdate deplaced dontmerge system preference since dontmerge was negative. 20:55 jcamins Hm. I think maybe that was since 3.2-alpha1. 20:55 hdl merge_authorities can merge 2 different authorities (in fact replace the from with the to authority, it is not really a true MERGE since the from authority is replaced) 20:56 munin New commit(s) kohagit: Bugfix 3419: fixes typo in inequality. <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=f74e86ca308d841741a54c422f1159ebe41f0100> 20:56 hdl And it can also process all the authorities which Heading changed to copy that heading change into biblios 20:56 nengard hdl that patch wasn't pushed to 3.2 - the one replacing the system preference 20:56 nengard or if it was - it's not in HEAD cause mine still says dontmerge 20:57 nengard got to log out now - email me if i need to change the manual 20:58 jcamins hdl: I see, so that one script does two separate things? 20:59 hdl can do. 20:59 gmcharlt no patch removing dontmerge appears to have been submitted for HEAD 21:02 * chris_n takes bug 3756 off of gmcharlt 's list 21:02 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3756 blocker, P5, ---, cnighswonger, NEW, new sys prefs - no way to add a new local use preference 21:03 gmcharlt chris_n: no blockers stay off my list permanently ;) 21:04 * chris tests the commits, ill squash them and signoff and send them up, works a treat 21:06 chris bug 4310 21:06 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4310 blocker, P5, ---, henridamien, NEW, No Migration for budgets from 3.0 to 3.2 21:07 sekjal Paine snapshot is done, btw 21:07 gmcharlt sekjal: ? 21:11 brendan hi gmcharlt - think that was for me :) 21:11 sekjal the dreaded wrong window 21:11 gmcharlt figured as much 21:11 sekjal apologies all 21:18 chris patch sent 21:29 chris heh, just spotted a bug in my git_committer_email env variable, fixed 22:41 chris_n @wunder 28334 22:41 munin chris_n: The current temperature in Dunn, North Carolina is 26.8�C (6:41 PM EDT on July 12, 2010).
