Time Nick Message 00:02 darling we really need to get koha-community.org higher in the google rank -- maybe we should add "official" or similar in the home page title so it shows in the google results 00:02 darling or some little phrase like that in the title 00:06 Braedon @wunder auckland 00:06 munin Braedon: The current temperature in Auckland, New Zealand is 15.0�C (12:00 PM NZST on August 25, 2010). Conditions: Scattered Clouds. Humidity: 67%. Dew Point: 9.0�C. Pressure: 29.89 in 1012 hPa (Falling). 00:12 robin darling: the best way is to wait until links start to change. Especially if you can get public catalogues to have a link back to it by default. 00:14 darling ah! is that where the ranking is coming from? -- lot's of existing public installations pointing back to poo url 00:15 robin well, I'm under the impression that it is. Lots of high-quality sites (eg. at companies, universities) linking to you is a good thing. 00:19 chris yeah 01:14 wajasu ok. got my dev install running. 01:14 wajasu more stuff showing on XSLT details/results. 01:15 wajasu shouldn't the field being shown as Literary Form: not fiction be Literary Form: non fiction? not vs non 01:17 chris you'd have to ask a cataloguer that ;) 01:17 wajasu And comparing my older version, I see that Series: has no field data showing. Just the Label for the same reocrd. 01:20 wajasu The XSLT is there for it. But nothing showing. Maybe a bug was introduced? If you are running a dev install. Can someone pull up any Series item and see the Series text? 01:21 wajasu if not, I'll log a bug for that. It was there 3 wks ago. 01:27 wajasu I see they got rid of the trailing "/" delimeter for the XSLT results title. (Ah but its there for the corresponding right to left language title still). And its there in the XSLT details still. 01:28 wajasu ah, and the 505 fields are there now. 01:39 wajasu and some 6xx and 8xx fields too. My librarian will be happier. 01:40 wajasu 260a is missing (i.e. publisher location a.k.a London) 01:42 wajasu maybe some general notes could be shown. (i.e. as in ISBD view) 01:44 wajasu But overall, now the XSLTdetails have filled out as an academic library needs to distinguish editions, content, etc. 03:17 jo Chris: levin trip at KohaCon 2010 just stepped up to a whole nother level 03:17 jo they are going to give us a taiaha challenge 03:18 jo have colleges in doing a kapa haka performance 03:18 robin which of the attendees gets to use the taiaha? ;) 03:18 chris a full wero? 03:18 jo yep 03:18 jo want 2 speakers from our side: you in Te Reo plus Ema calling 03:18 chris bags not being the one picking up taki 03:19 jo plus a distinguisehed guest from our side as well 03:19 jo we'll have to sort that out my friend... 03:19 robin Wish I had a car to drive myself up there for it now :) 03:19 jo hangi is definitely on the cards 03:19 jo come in the bus robin 03:19 chris you dont want to come on the bus? 03:19 robin well, I didn't want to steal a seat from someone who wouldn't otherwish have a chance 03:20 jo They want us there at 4pm so will have to negotiate with Council 03:20 jo lots of seats Robin 03:20 jo and if we have too many peole OI have a car we can use 03:20 jo and we can get a shuttle / mini van 03:20 robin oh OK then.

If it was just a silly licence, it wouldn't have been quite so annoying ;-) 07:57 slef larsw: so I saw. What's with that? Your head feel like it's full of birdseed after a flight again? 07:59 chris larsw: im guessing a kereru and a kea (or maybe kaka) 07:59 slef anyone know if I reply to an email From: bugzilla-daemon, will it appear in the bug? 07:59 larsw chris, those sound like good guesses 08:00 chris the koha bugzilla? i dont think so 08:00 chris but there is an email address you can mail 08:00 chris lemme find out 08:02 kf http://richardsayers.com.au/2010/08/library-thought-leaders/ 08:03 chris bug-submit 08:03 chris slef 08:04 slef the koha bugzilla... no, it's a reply to a comment...

I'm getting questions... 08:22 magnus slef: huh? i told her i will be arriving on the sunday, but i'm not sure when 08:23 slef yeah, I wrote that I wasn't sure when because I was arriving on the koha road trip and got "what's that?" sort of questions back :-D 08:23 kf does koha support unAPI and CoINS? 08:23 * kf writing text for our flyer 08:23 slef kf: I think it does CoINS if the templates used are OK. I don't remember what unAPI is. 08:24 kf I think unApi has more information and is used for zotero 08:24 chris well it works with zotero 08:25 kf yes, with coins it works too 08:25 slef I thought it was CoINS that made it work with zotero 08:25 kf I think zotero can use both, as other services can 08:25 wajasu ok. i see the reason for my Series: field in the XSLTDetails biblio having no data showing is because the XSLT rule is only for @ind=0 and my example record has @ind=1. Should the rule handle both types? either 0 or 1? 08:25 slef kf: could search manual and archives for for unAPI 08:26 slef wajasu: depends what @ind means :) 08:26 kf slef: yes, but it's both there, I wanted to know what is actually working now :) 08:26 magnus kf: there is support for unAPI. have a look at the source for record-page in the OPAC: <link rel="unapi-server" type="application/xml" title="unAPI" href="http://demo.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/unapi" /> 08:26 wajasu serries tracing 08:26 kf wajasu: there was already a patch sent for that problem 08:26 kf wajasu: I tested it 08:27 wajasu so i should just git pull again. 08:27 kf magnus: yeah, but my browser shows me coins is used for zotero (tool tip of icon in url field) 08:27 kf wajasu: I think it has not been pushed yet 08:28 kf bug 2794 08:28 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2794 normal, P3, ---, chris, RESOLVED FIXED, Browse Shelf doesn't work with ISBN containing '-' 08:28 kf ah sorry, bug 2704 08:28 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2704 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED, 440 Display Issues 08:28 kf the second 08:28 magnus kf: HEAD gives a good reply to http://head.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/unapi, but older versions don't... 08:29 kf ok, the installation I was testing is a bit behidn current head 08:30 magnus kf: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commit;h=391a6d32619978aa3c1e624743479a0d3fe45f89 08:32 kf thx magnus! 08:32 magnus kf: here's a live example: http://head.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/unapi?id=koha:biblionumber:2&format=oai_dc 08:33 magnus kf: the format parameter can be any of these: http://head.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/unapi (guess that was a bit more info than what you actually wanted... ;-) 08:34 kf yep, just figured out 08:34 kf cool! 08:34 wajasu kf: thanks. 08:34 magnus slef: i just said i didn't know when i would be there, not why... 08:34 kf is there a way to get the availability information as xml too? 08:35 kf we talked about an API to check availability for ILL requests 08:36 wajasu would anyone here know if the Literary Form: should be "not fiction" or "non fiction" ?

These coded data elements are potentially useful for retrieval and data management purposes. [] 08:40 kf magnus: yes we were thinking about ils-di too - but available in library is not always the same as available for ill 08:41 magnus kf: sure! 08:41 kf so perhaps parsing marcxml is another way to go... hm! 08:41 kf magnus: thx for the links, this is really great to know 08:42 magnus kf: np 08:42 wajasu so "Not fiction" seems to be standard then. thx kf. 08:44 slef I've been looking at that and 08:44 slef @marc 040 08:44 munin slef: The MARC code for or the name of the organization(s) that created the original bibliographic record, assigned MARC content designation and transcribed the record into machine-readable form, or modified (except for the addition of holdings symbols) an existing MARC record.

[a,b,c,d,e,6,8] 08:44 slef recently, to see if openbibliography can figure out anything about the licensing of a record. 08:45 kf magnus: ils-di looks good to me, but it would be even more useful if id_type could be marc 001 too 08:45 slef Which reminds me: does/should Koha update a field in 040 with the library's MARC code when a record is edited? 08:45 kf slef: I am not sure, we import them with 040 set 08:47 chris its a compulsory field in the default framework, so unless you change that koha will force you to put a value in 08:47 kf slef: no, only 003 with sys pref MarcORGCode and koha does not generate an id 08:48 chris but you can type nonsense in 08:48 chris and looking at a lot of records, thats what ppl have done :) 08:48 kf I am grateful that our union catalog takes care of such things, not so much nonsense in our data 08:50 magnus kf: it's just the biblionumber or or the biblioitemnumber? 08:51 kf magnus: yes 08:51 kf if I understand the documentation correctly 08:52 kf our ill system does not have those 08:52 magnus kf: ok, i hadn't thought about that... shouldn't be too hard to do marc 001 too? 08:52 * magnus put in an enhancement bug for it? 08:53 kf magnus: not sure how it works, but hope it's not too hard to do 08:53 kf magnus: good idea, I will make a note to do that, but perhaps look at all ils-di functions first 08:55 kf looking at GetRecords - what is id (Required) list of system record identifiers? 08:59 slef looking at GetRecords where? 09:03 kf http://head.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/ilsdi.pl?service=Describe&verb=GetRecords 09:04 kf sorry magnus to use your url, but my installation is behind a firewall 09:04 magnus kf: np, be my guest! 09:08 CGI429 hii 09:10 magnus kf: i *think* id = biblionumber 09:12 kf perhaps 09:13 kf quite possible 09:13 magnus kf: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=C4/ILSDI/Services.pm;hb=HEAD#l145 "Given a list of biblionumbers, returns a list of record objects that contain bibliographic information" 09:13 kf ah ok 09:14 kf perhaps doc should look similar to getAvailability then 09:15 magnus (it seems odd that id_type is used to specify "the metadata schema" for that call, but "type of record identifier" for GetAvailability...) 09:15 magnus kf: yeah, it would probably be good if the doc was a bit more specific... 09:16 kf magnus: there is always room for improvement, but it's nice to have the doc in the opac 09:17 kf I think we will come back to ils-di soon 09:17 magnus kf: yup 09:48 wajasu i can't remember. was there a migration from an old bugzilla. do i need to reregister or do the forgot password thing. 09:57 wajasu will create a new account. 10:15 wajasu i found http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5057 that mentions the need to remove http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=encodingscratchpad from the INSTALL.ubuntu.

OpenQRM has puppet integration, so we can deploy in the cloud or lxc-containers. and developers can deploy for testing. 13:57 magnus wajasu: wouldn't it be possible to use puppet anywhere? 13:57 wajasu yes. 14:00 magnus cool, i have heard a lot about puppet, but havn't had time to look into it yet. sounds like a lot of work initially, though? 14:04 wajasu i wrote a bash script and package for archlinux and deployed to a lxc-container. but if i did it with puppet, and we checked it in git to be shared, only the different dependencies for debian, ubuntu, etc would need tweeking. Plus it would be a common language to communicate what is intended. 14:24 wizzyrea there hasn't been a change to mainline where due and predue notices are added to the overdues email 14:24 wizzyrea right? 14:24 owen Hi wizzyrea 14:24 wizzyrea hey owen :) 14:26 aarkerio hi!

You can safely ignore it. 14:56 aarkerio but why I can not see the options like "Withdrawn status" in "Add item" screen: http://mononeurona.org/img/imgusers/aarkerio_2053.png 14:57 kf aarkerio: have you chosen to import them during install? 14:57 aarkerio yes 14:57 kf check your authorized values for LOST 14:58 kf if the values are nto there, they can not be displayed 14:58 kf NOTFORLOAN, LOC, CCODE, LOST, WITHDRAWN 14:58 aarkerio in "Authorized values for category Asort1" are no values 14:59 kf check the categories I listed for you 14:59 kf asort is always empty, it's a custom field for acquisitions 14:59 aarkerio in "Basic parameters > Authorized values" screen? 15:00 kf yes 15:01 kf if you have no categories for LOST etc. they were not imported during install 15:01 kf but you can create them 15:11 Danke How do i go about cataloging children's toys? I'm guessing the z39.50 client won't be helpful there 15:11 wizzyrea hmm 15:12 wizzyrea we have a collection of cake pans in our collection 15:12 wizzyrea maybe it would be similar? 15:12 wizzyrea let me find you an example record for that 15:12 Danke sounds like it would be :) 15:12 kf hallo Danke 15:12 Danke hello 15:12 kf where are you from? 15:12 Danke i've created an item type, do i create a marc framework for them too? 15:13 kf I wonder because your name means thank you in German :) 15:13 Danke yep, a happy accident in my real name i noticed one day 15:13 Danke i'm from england 15:13 paul_p (& kf is german, as her nick don't say ;-) ) 15:13 Danke ahh... unfortunately, i'm not 15:14 owen Danke: You would only create a MARC framework if you were going to catalog a lot of them and the existing frameworks didn't work well for you 15:15 owen Creating a new framework is tedious, so don't undertake it lightly 15:15 Danke ah, i see. i'd like to simplify the cataloging as much as humanly possible... the users are mostly techophobes 15:16 kf :) 15:17 Danke when i go to add a new record in the cataloging section, i barely understand what i'm being asked for 15:18 Phil Hi... is this the right place to ask a general question about koha ? 15:18 sekjal Phil: sure is. what can we help you with? 15:19 slef hi Danke - are you in England as well as from it? 15:20 slef kf: my nickname means spit in Icelandic or some other language. 15:20 Danke yep, the south west 15:20 slef kf: but it's actually a ytpo of self. 15:20 slef Danke: greetings from Somerset! 15:20 Danke ah, hello all the way from devon! haha 15:21 Phil can koha be used by roaming librarians ?... i mean can you take your own copy of the database with you... lend some books, come back and synchronize with the main database ? 15:21 slef Phil: you'd be better off using the offline client I suspect 15:21 slef and that's not something I know well... kyle is the nick to talk to here 15:21 slef but he's not here right now (US time I think) 15:21 Phil k 15:21 slef anyone else know offline? 15:22 owen There's a bug report saying the Firefox plugin doesn't work. I don't know beyond that. 15:22 sekjal http://kylehall.info/index.php/projects/koha-tools/koha-offline-circulation/ 15:22 Phil is there documentation about it ? 15:22 Phil oh thank you ! 15:22 wajasu the XSLTDetails doesn't have the "Published by:" publisher as a link as the non XSLT code does. Shall I add a bug? 15:22 slef rhcl The Next Generation? 15:22 owen Unfortunately http://millruntech.com/koha/koha-tools/koha-offline-circulation 15:23 owen Not unfortunately. That's a typo :) 15:23 slef That's one heck of a big typo. 15:24 slef Danke: add yourself to http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Users_Worldwide#Europe when you feel confident enough ;-) 15:24 sekjal Phil: there are actually two different offline circ tools: Kyle's (which we've linked) and Kivutar's Firefox extension (which seems broken at the moment) 15:24 Phil k 15:24 Danke slef, will do :) 15:25 sekjal we have a data standard for Offline Circ information, so new modules can always be written 15:27 Phil that's very interesting ... thank you very much ! 15:36 Phil the KOC is only available in 32 bits ? 15:36 Phil do you think I can still install it on a 64 bits system ? 15:43 Phil nevermind... ill find a workaround 15:56 wizzyrea hmm 15:56 wizzyrea that's interesting 15:56 wizzyrea i'm looking at the sysprefs on current HEAD 15:56 wizzyrea and I clicked on "Local Use" 15:56 wizzyrea then I tried to click any other tab 15:56 wizzyrea and it gave this: Software error: 15:56 wizzyrea Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/lib/perl5/YAML/Syck.pm line 72. 15:56 wizzyrea but if you are on any tab besides local use 15:57 wizzyrea and you click on any tab except Local Use, it works fine to click between them 15:57 jcamins It works for me. 15:57 wizzyrea weird, ok, thank you for checking 15:57 wizzyrea it's just me :) 15:58 slef someone has broken your koha while you slept 15:58 wizzyrea haha 15:58 wizzyrea I have a sense 15:58 wizzyrea actually 15:58 wizzyrea that it may be my data. 15:58 jcamins Actually, I may be a few commits behind HEAD. 15:58 jcamins Nope, I'm not. 15:59 wizzyrea ok 15:59 wizzyrea jcamins 15:59 wizzyrea switch from localuse to Cataloging 15:59 wizzyrea can you do that? 15:59 jcamins Ooh, no, that one's broken. 15:59 jcamins I tested OPAC and Administration earlier. 16:00 wizzyrea ok whew, now I don't feel so nuts 16:00 jcamins Everything except for Cataloging works. 16:01 wizzyrea cataloging works as long as you don't switch from local use 16:01 wizzyrea at least for me 16:01 jcamins Yeah, for me too. 16:01 wizzyrea ok I'll report that then 16:01 jcamins I meant, switching from Local Use, everything except for cataloging works. 16:25 sekjal does anyone know a quick way to rebuild the marcxml field in biblioitems from the marc? I have 11 records out of sync 16:28 slef sekjal: I'll sell you my marc21xml.pl ;-) 16:30 slef that's not particularly quick, actually, because you have to save the marc fields to a file, convert them, then load them back into marcxml 16:30 slef oh wait 16:31 slef sekjal: does it have to be rebuilt from the MARC and not the db records? 16:31 slef if db records ok, quickest way right now is to do a no-change edit on the record in cataloguing 16:31 slef that provokes both marc and marcxml to be rebuilt IIRC 16:32 sekjal can't get to the cataloguing editor; records won't load because the MARCXML is bad 16:32 slef wow 16:32 jcamins sekjal: export the records, then reimport? 16:33 sekjal records won't export, since the .mrc is generated from biblioitems.marcxml 16:33 slef I can give you this script, but it needs work to operate directly on the database fields. 16:33 jcamins Oh. 16:33 jcamins Hm. 16:34 sekjal slef: if you don't mind, I'd take a look at it. It might give me a better place to start 16:36 jcamins SELECT biblioitems.marc TO OUTFILE `example.mrc` (or whatever the proper syntax is), make sure the 999$c is there, then reimport, enabling overlay? 16:36 slef sekjal: where do you want it? 16:37 sekjal slef: ian.walls@bywatersolutions.com will work 16:37 sekjal jcamins: hmm... that could do it 16:37 sekjal 999c does seem to be in there 16:38 jcamins You may need to create a new matching rule. I don't quite remember. 16:39 jcamins (one that matches 999c to the biblionumber index) 16:39 slef sekjal: on its way 16:40 sekjal slef: got it, thanks! 16:48 slef sekjal: alternative approach would be to C4::Biblio::ModBiblioMarc(a copy of C4::Biblio::GetMarcBiblio that uses the marc field instead of the marcxml one) 16:50 rhcl_tng it appears that currently there is no way to set a maxlogsize for things like Letterlog, BorrowersLog, CataloguingLog --is there generally no problem with logs getting too large? Would it be nice to have an option to set a maxlogsize on the System Preferences -> Logging Preferences page? 16:52 slef sekjal: or actually something more like $dbh = C4::Context->dbh; $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT marc FROM biblioitems WHERE biblionumber = N"); $sth->execute(); C4::Biblio::ModBiblioMarc($sth->fetchrow()); 16:52 slef rhcl_tng: no, it's the wrong place to set it. Configure logrotate. 16:52 rhcl_tng pk, tnx 16:52 rhcl_tng ok i mean 16:53 slef (what would koha do when it hit maxlogsize anyway?) 16:53 rhcl_tng terminate at a size or date point? 16:53 slef oof! 16:53 slef :) 16:53 rhcl_tng expunge beginning at a size or date point is probably better wording 16:54 jcamins slef: but isn't the log stored in the database? 16:54 sekjal slef: got to get the corrupted fields out first... hang on... trying something 16:54 slef jcamins: ah. If it's those ones, there's a script which truncates, isn't there? 16:54 rhcl_tng I was assuming it was just a flat file somewhere, like system logs 16:55 slef some things are in database, some are in files 16:55 jcamins Probably. I've never felt the need to truncate the log, I was just asking for clarification. ;) 16:55 slef misc/cronjobs/cleanup_database.pl 16:56 jcamins Cool. Thanks. 16:56 slef np 17:31 sekjal in hindsight, it's easier to just skip the corrupted records for now, and deal with them if they come up in later scripts. that way I can keep moving forward with the day's work 18:00 owen Wouldn't it be nice if all these people who want to install Koha 2 on Windows would support each other for a change? 18:20 briceSanc Have you ever had encoding problems when importing Marc21 authorities ? My accent looks like that before import: {grave}e to �. 18:21 briceSanc and they looks like that after import : e' 18:41 cait hi all 18:42 owen Hi cait 18:42 jwagner Hi cait 18:42 cait hi owen, hi jwagner :) 18:43 jwagner Hey owen, FYI -- when I was asking the other day about stylesheets for the multiple URL setup? It does just need the equiv of the opaccolorstylesheet, not the full opac.css. 18:43 * jwagner is working on 16 interfaces -- shuffling stylesheets like mad.... 18:44 owen 16 in one organization? 18:44 jwagner Yep. 18:44 jwagner And that's not all their libraries, just the ones they wanted to do at this time. 18:44 owen It would have been easier to tell them, "Sorry, can't do that!" 18:44 jwagner Those words aren't in our vocabulary :-) 18:45 * jwagner admits certain OTHER words are in my personal vocabulary during projects like this.... 18:46 jcamins cait: if you have a moment for a German question, should all the words in the title "Historisch-Emblematischer Medaillen-Kaste" be capitalized? 18:49 cait oh 18:49 cait I dont really understand it 18:49 cait can you show me the title? 18:50 cait Kasten perhaps? 18:50 jcamins Neither do I. I'll find the Worldcat record. 18:50 jcamins Ooh, perhaps I mistyped it. 18:50 jcamins Maybe that wiggly thing is supposed to mean there's an 'n' at the end. 18:51 jcamins http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/256705940 18:53 cait ok, that's old 18:53 jcamins Yes. Oh, sorry, I should've mentioned that. 18:53 cait no problem 18:53 cait I think kasten makes more sense 18:53 cait it means box 18:54 cait a box with medals and explanation of them? 18:55 jcamins Yeah, it's a book about medals to do with the Dutch Wars of Independence. 18:56 cait not sure what marc21 says, but I think you can use the way it's written on the book? 18:56 cait hmpf 18:56 jcamins Everything's in capital letters. 18:56 cait and it's even one of our records 18:57 cait http://swb.bsz-bw.de/DB=2.1/PPNSET?PPN=031821863 18:58 jcamins Oh, that says that emblematischer doesn't need to be capitalized. Thanks! 18:59 cait would have been my guess too 18:59 cait but not sure about the rules here :) 19:00 cait jared: http://content.no-ip.org/Stuff/1278623146661.jpg and I have no microwave... 19:01 jcamins Aww, that's adorable! 19:01 jcamins But you said you had a teeny oven, right? 19:01 cait right :) 19:02 jcamins That's so cute I may have to make those, even though there are enough people to eat a cake. 19:03 cait tell me if it works :) 19:03 jcamins And I could always give excess cake to my parents and brothers when they come to visit for the wedding tomorrow. 19:03 jcamins Hm. 19:03 cait but my twitter contact said it did 19:03 jcamins Maybe I should just make a proper cake. 19:03 cait a wedding? 19:03 jcamins Yes. 19:03 jcamins Oh, right. 19:03 jcamins I'm getting married tomorrow. 19:04 cait oh, congratulation :) 19:04 larsw jcamins, congratulations! 19:04 jcamins Thanks. 19:04 jwagner Congrats! 19:04 chris congrats jcamins :) 19:04 cait and you are spending the evening before your wedding with cataloging real old German books? 19:04 jwagner Now THAT'S a bachelor party! 19:04 jcamins It's only 15:15. 19:04 jcamins But, yes. 19:05 wizzyrea !! jcamins! 19:05 wizzyrea congratulations! 19:05 jcamins Thank you all. 19:05 jcamins Apparently I forgot to tell, well, anyone in the end-of-semester rush last spring, and then I forgot that I hadn't told anyone. 19:06 jwagner On the bright side, that keeps the stress level down, I'd think. 19:06 jcamins True. 19:10 sekjal whoa, just came back in to jcamin's news. Congratulations!! 19:10 jcamins Thanks. 19:12 jcamins cait: if it makes you feel any better about my sense of priorities, I just came across a _beautiful_ Thou binding with a 3-color manuscript from, probably, the fifteenth or sixteenth century used as binder's waste. :) 19:13 cait jcamins: you are really one of us :) 19:13 cait one of us crazy librarians :) 19:15 jcamins No doubt about it. 19:15 jcamins Wait, is today Wednesday? Okay, day after tomorrow. 19:16 jcamins I hope the patron who I told we were open Wednesday didn't come in to the ANS. 19:16 jcamins (just checked my e-mail) 19:16 cait jcamins: I am checking our big union catalogs for your title right now - at the moment it's 2:1 for Emblematisch ;) 19:17 jcamins There may be multiple editions of it, although probably not. 19:18 jcamins Or at least multiple issues (same text, different title page). :) 19:21 cait yep 19:22 cait http://www.ubka.uni-karlsruhe.de/kvk/kvk/kvk_en.html good for research 19:22 cait can't post you the link to the search result, it's too long for my link shortener 19:23 jcamins I can do the search. 19:24 chris hi LBA 19:24 cait check the column Germany and it will search all the big union catalogs 19:25 jcamins Ooh, why didn't I check VD17? 19:26 LBA hey Chris! 19:26 cait not sure, but got no results there 19:26 jcamins When you search VD17 directly, it lists two issues. 19:26 cait oh, perhaps I had a timeout earlier 19:28 cait oh, they even have a picute 19:28 cait picture 19:30 cait hard to read the old script 19:30 chris right bus time 19:30 chris bbiab 19:33 cait owen++ 19:48 chris Back 19:50 cait wb chris 19:50 jcamins Welcome back. 19:50 sekjal anyone here happen to be an Xen expert? 19:51 jcamins I am not, but I can relay your questions to one of my other IRC channels where there are people who know about Xen. 19:51 chris I've used it, far from expert tho 19:52 sekjal I think I have a server that's choking Xen, and throwing it into a reboot loop. I need to figure out how to a) disable that server on boot, and b) somehow get into it in a safe way to find the problem 19:53 sekjal this is only vaguely Koha related, but I figured I'd ask here first, since you all are my favourite channel :) 19:54 cait aaw :) 19:56 chris The xm commands 19:56 chris No man on my phone but off the top of my head xm disable 19:58 sekjal I'm going to give it a go 19:59 sekjal to make matters more fun: I have to do this over the phone to someone, who has not gotten used to the Dvorak keyboard that's attached to the terminal they have to use 19:59 chris nice 20:01 chris Ok my stop bbiab 20:04 owen Ok my quitting time bbi16hours 20:05 cait bbi8hours - good night all 20:05 cait :) 20:19 chris back 20:20 richard hi 20:21 chris hiya richard 20:54 richard hey chris 20:55 * richard a bit slow off the mark today :) 20:55 chris :) i blame the weather 21:07 anitsirk darling & melia: will be u in a sec. 21:07 chris wrong #koha anitsirk :) 21:08 anitsirk oh no. sorry about that. 21:27 moodaepo @wunder 56001 21:27 munin moodaepo: The current temperature in MSU Physics Dept, Mankato, Minnesota is 21.3�C (4:38 PM CDT on August 25, 2010).

Nearly all batteries like that have been mercury free for a number of years, so they're not quite as bad to trash as before, but it would be nice to find someone who could do something better than that with them. 23:09 robin yay, looks like the zebra fix will be getting an exception to the Debian freeze. 23:11 chris sweet 23:11 robin now just to wait until it gets into testing.
