00:24 cait hi wizzyrea
00:24 wizzyrea_ hey cait :D
00:25 wizzyrea_ are you stucks in the airport?
00:25 cait in a hotel near the airport without power adapter
00:25 cait not much better
00:25 wizzyrea_ :/
00:26 wizzyrea_ yea, that's no fun
00:26 cait I envy you even more right now :)
00:27 jcamins_a At least it was a large enough airport that there was a hotel nearby.
00:27 jcamins_a :)
00:27 wizzyrea_ Aw, if it makes you feel better we're basically stuck at home for a few hours every day while spud sleeps
00:27 jcamins_a And this is good... it'll give you the opportunity to relax without a computer... right?
00:27 cait I would prefer that ;)
00:27 cait I can't relax without my computer
00:28 chris wizzyrea_: well you could come round and do my presentation, i already suggested that :)
00:28 cait why would you do such an evil thing?
00:28 wizzyrea_ do you really want me talking about what's in 3.4?
00:28 cait you don't like me?
00:28 wizzyrea_ Because I might say that we're adding a completely web based templating engine
00:28 cait ah, sorry, confused
00:28 wizzyrea_ >.>
00:29 jcamins_a wizzyrea_: heh. Congratulations on your transition to "major template implementor"!
00:29 cait it's been a long day
00:29 * wizzyrea_ dies
00:29 chris hehe
00:30 cait oh no
00:30 cait you killed wizzyrea
00:30 jcamins_a I just learned something really silly... it turns out when you make ravioli, you're supposed to use *two* layers of pasta. No folding involved.
00:31 wizzyrea_ ...you didn't know that?
00:31 * jcamins_a folded every single ravioli by hand when he tried it last time... no wonder it seemed outrageously slow.
00:31 cait hm found a muffin in my backpack
00:31 wizzyrea_ lay down one sheet, dollops of filling, then another sheet on top
00:31 wizzyrea_ >.>
00:32 jcamins_a Now you tell me? :P
00:32 cait you haven't asked before
00:32 wizzyrea_ dude. I've been known to make asian dumplings the hard way
00:32 jcamins_a cait: you knew too?
00:32 cait if you feel like folding - you could fold tortellinie
00:32 cait tortellini
00:32 jcamins_a I _hate_ folding.
00:33 cait of course I knew ;)
00:33 imp jcamins_a: you took the ones from a tin as example?
00:33 * cait is watching to many tv shows about cooking
00:33 jcamins_a imp: no, we don't buy ravioli... probably if we did I would've been more clear about what they looked like.
00:34 jcamins_a They're square.
00:34 jcamins_a (you learn something new every day)
00:34 imp some from tins are folded, some not ;)
00:36 cait ok, have to go, battery low
00:36 wizzyrea_ gl on your trip cait, see you soon!
00:36 cait good night all
00:36 chris gl cait
00:37 cait thx :)
00:37 cait hope to see you soon!
00:55 darling robin found some useful language tips for those travelling to nz --
00:55 darling http://www.parliament.nz/en-NZ/AboutParl/HstBldgs/History/Special/Language/d/8/8/d8896b2516084ed6bd87f0ae8da0982e.htm
01:03 * chris_n watches all of the planes roar off toward NZ-land
02:21 SelfishMa hmm...the search by author link on the staff side still has a bad link?
02:22 SelfishMa The RC still links to "/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl?q=au:" when clicking on an author name
02:22 SelfishMa or am I just on crack?
02:23 jcamins_a SelfishMa: what is it supposed to do?
02:24 SelfishMa jcamins_a: I assume it would link to search results for that author like the OPAC does
02:24 jcamins_a Oh, I thought you meant it put that before the author's name.
02:24 SelfishMa so basically "/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl?q=au:Milne%2C%20Lorus%20Johnson%2C"
02:24 jcamins_a Works for me.
02:24 jcamins_a With XSLT.
02:27 * SelfishMa mumbles
02:28 bfleming IRC hates my freedom
02:29 jcamins_a IRC hates your freedom?
02:32 bfleming Yeah, truncating my nick to 9 characters
02:33 jcamins_a Ah.
02:33 jcamins_a Yeah, I'm actually jcamins_away
02:33 robin jcamins_a: it's good that it doesn't show that, as you're not away
02:34 jcamins Yeah, I guess that's true.
02:35 jcamins Right now I'm writing about the institutionalized racism of Russian Avant-Garde architecture theorists.
02:39 jcamins So I'm not so much "away" as "confused."
02:39 robin heh
02:39 * jcamins_c is jcamins_confused
02:40 robin IRC is allowing you your freedom
02:41 thd chris: are you there?
02:42 chris sorta
02:43 thd Is there any reason that the Americas should be first in the list at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Users_Worldwide ?
02:43 robin you're right, Oceania should be at the top.
02:44 brendan_2 I think North comes before Asia in the alpha
02:44 jcamins_c brendan_2: still no power at home?
02:45 thd brendan_2: N comes after A in my alphabet
02:45 brendan_2 got it back - just haven't changed brendan_2 to brendan_l
02:45 brendan_2 thd: :)
02:46 Amit heys chris
02:46 chris nope theres no reason at all
02:46 thd brendan_2: North America should be grouped under Americas but Africa comes before Americas in the Alphabet
02:46 robin But I know chris agrees with me about the position of Oceania.
02:46 jcamins_c thd: we prefer a ROT-13'd alphabets.
02:46 robin jcamins_c: that wouldn't change much :)
02:47 brendan_2 thd: you take all of my comments to seriously - basically what chris said (there's no reasoning behind it)
02:47 Amit heya robin, jcamins_c
02:47 robin Hi
02:47 Amit heya brendan
02:47 brendan_2 I was having some fun ;)
02:47 brendan_2 heya amit
02:47 thd robin: I think that Oceania would certainly come first in an Historical or some other non-neutral arrangement.
02:48 robin I was thinking of ordering them by relative distance from me. That seems objective enough, right? ;)
02:48 jcamins_c Hi, Amit.
02:49 thd robin: Yes, that would be great. You write the MediaWiki extension and I will install it.
02:50 robin I'll get on to that soon... :)
02:50 thd I fixed bugs in two MediaWiki extensions which allowed one to be installed over the weekend.
02:52 thd The top and bottom of each page now have a path of the category tree for each category of a page.
02:52 bfleming ok, I'm obviously completely on crack
02:52 bfleming I can't see a single reason why this link isn't working
02:53 robin thd: cool. I did some mediawiki extensions not too long ago. Reminded me how much I don't enjoy PHP.
02:54 bfleming hmm...figured it out. I'm on crack but that isn't anything new
02:54 thd robin: The difficult part is hooking into the particulars of the MediaWiki code.
02:55 robin yeah, that was just a lot of reading docs and looking at other ones.
03:04 robin http://blog.wlbooks.com/2010/06/argentine-book-tank-bookmobile-for-21st.html <-- Weapon of Mass Instruction
03:05 jcamins_c Awesome!
04:15 robin hmm. There's been a bug introduced recently that causes problems with staging of marc records. Anyone seen this?
04:15 robin (in master)
07:05 chris hi paul_p

12:45 braedon hey owen
12:46 owen I suppose #koha must have been this quiet when we were all in Plano last year
12:47 braedon you not heading out this year?
12:47 owen No, can't afford it unfortunately
12:48 braedon :(
12:48 owen well, I could afford it for myself, but not for the wife and 3 kids who would be mad to be left behind :)
12:48 braedon ah
12:58 wasabi !tw test test
12:58 * kcon10bot <wasabi> tweet sent to #kohacon10
12:58 owen See, even robots get to go to KohaCon and I don't!
12:58 braedon working :P
12:58 wasabi w00t
12:59 * braedon was wondering what that kohacon10_irc was on the feed
12:59 braedon don't worry owen, you are not alone
12:59 * braedon is in New Zealand and he still doesn't get to go
13:00 wasabi ive been playing with pipsqueek and net::twitter recently..
13:00 braedon filthy exams grumble grumble
13:00 owen Bummer, braedon
13:00 owen If only I'd seen this sooner: http://telstarlogistics.typepad.com/telstarlogistics/2010/10/diary-of-a-journey-to-new-zealand-by-container-ship.html
13:01 jcamins good morning, #koha
13:01 braedon 'mornin
13:01 jcamins braedon: shouldn't you be asleep?
13:01 braedon probably
13:01 braedon meh, only 2:13
13:01 braedon still early
13:02 wasabi nice foto-feed own

13:12 wasabi fr the *voyage* on the ship ;)
13:16 braedon not thinking of starting up your own shipping company wasabi? :P
13:17 wasabi not ever!
13:29 * braedon gives into jcamins' notions of "should" and heads to bed
13:29 jcamins Good night, braedon.
14:06 jcamins Any jQuery experts here?
14:08 owen I can try to help, jcamins
14:08 jcamins I need to replace the "Copies available for loan" on the OPAC search results with "Copies available," and I know it can be done in jQuery.
14:09 jcamins I'm confused because the text is in a <b/> tag, not the <span/> tag with the class name.
14:11 owen $(".available b:contains('Copies available for loan')").text("Foo: ");
14:11 jcamins Awesome! Thanks!
14:11 jcamins owen++
14:12 owen You have to brute-force that one with ":contains()" because there's no unique identifier
14:12 owen I always assume there is a performance hit for that kind of selecting, but I've never benchmarked it
14:13 jwagner I think owen helped me with this version: $("span:contains('No copies available')").replaceWith("Available Online.");
14:15 jcamins Oh... I guess we could've just used jQuery instead of modifying the stylesheets.
14:18 jcamins (to change the Availability display)
14:19 jcamins Wait, no we couldn't. It would've needed to pull data out of the MARC.
15:30 Brendan-O morning
15:31 jcamins Morning.
15:32 jcamins I guess the proper way to deaccession in Koha is to create an item record and mark the item as withdrawn?
15:36 Oak \o
15:36 owen How do you define deaccession jcamins ?
15:36 jcamins owen: traditionally we don't.
15:37 owen we just delete stuff, so I've always been curious what people used the withdrawn status for
15:37 jcamins In principle it was supposed to be possible to delete a record, but no one could, so that's what I was thinking we'd do, but then I noticed the withdrawn status.
15:38 jcamins (that it is, it was supposed to be possible with the old system, but wasn't; then, I thought we'd actually do it since it's possible with Koha; then, I noticed the withdrawn status)
15:44 jcamins We're just going to continue deleting records when we deaccession.
15:44 jcamins Withdrawn is kind of ugly.
15:48 owen Yeah I'm not sure the withdrawn status is very well defined
15:50 jcamins I think maybe NEKLS uses withdrawn?
15:52 jcamins How can you tell if you're looking at a Koha install or an LEK install?
15:53 owen I don't know that you can, especially not in the OPAC
15:55 jcamins Oh well. It was just idle curiosity, anyway.
16:02 Sharon nope
16:02 Sharon we just delete
16:02 Sharon wait, mickey says we do use withdrawn.
16:02 Sharon not consistently used
16:04 Sharon we need to have a "how do you weed in Koha" discussion with our users group
16:06 owen I could see a workflow where users who didn't have delete privileges used withdrawn to mark items for withdrawn, then later someone else deleted
16:07 Sharon possibly - usually the librarian/director is doing the weeding though.
16:09 jcamins NEKLS++ # my first day on an internship at a library I had never been to before, the librarian gave me a razorblade and told me to weed a section, removing the barcode and titlepage from each book I weeded
16:34 Sharon that's scary. I did a massive weeding at my first library and botched it. didn't know the collection well enough, but we were migrating and I had to do it. Still cringe when I think of the Art History books I sold
16:51 sekjal greetings from the Road to KohaCon!
16:51 Brendan-O heya sekjal
16:52 rhcl Greetings both!
16:54 sekjal currently in Philly, waiting for the next leg to LAX.
16:56 * jcamins is jealous
16:59 sekjal hope I've got enough battery for the leg after that...
17:01 jcamins sekjal: I think there are outlets behind the potted plants in the PHL terminals.
17:02 jcamins I don't remember which gate I was at, though.
17:05 * collum thinks Airplane seats need usb charging connections. Probably already invented.
17:05 sekjal i've got charge in PHL, and USB at my seat from LAX to Sydney
17:06 jcamins Wow!
17:06 jcamins That's amazing!
17:06 schuster That's why I always carried 2 extra batteries!
17:07 sekjal bought an extra laptop battery yesterday
17:07 schuster Weeding discussion that what we do. I have the librarians put them into withdrawn - and then once a year at the end of a couple of days I use the batch delete option.
17:07 sekjal no AC power on the flight down under unless you go Premium Economy or higher
17:08 jcamins schuster: that makes sense.
17:08 schuster I dropped probably 60,000 items in August. My next question though is how can I get a report of bibs without items so I can delete the bibs.
17:08 schuster I bet there is a report on the report wikis
17:08 jcamins schuster: yeah, I think so.
17:08 jcamins schuster: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Records_without_items
17:11 jcamins Written by someone currently on a plane NZ-bound.
17:29 chris_n skejal: perhaps a solar adapter would respond to the reading light next to your seat on the plane...
17:29 chris_n ;-)
17:29 chris_n @wunder 28334
17:29 munin chris_n: The current temperature in Dunn, North Carolina is 17.2�C (1:37 PM EDT on October 20, 2010). Conditions: Light Rain. Humidity: 70%. Dew Point: 12.0�C. Pressure: 29.50 in 998.9 hPa (Falling).
17:32 sekjal i was thinking a small set of bicycle pedals. i could get a workout while i work!
17:32 chris_n lol!
17:32 jcamins sekjal: just so long as they're not squeaky... that would get pretty annoying to your seatmates.
17:33 * chris_n contemplates the possibility of having exercise bikes drive generators as a way of making fitness programs assist in "clean" power generation
17:33 * jcamins thinks he'd be much more likely to work out if it reduced his electric bill.
17:34 sekjal i could consider all the snacks i brought as extra battery power
17:34 chris_n project title: "From Kilo-calories to Kilowatts"
17:35 jcamins Heh.
17:35 sekjal I've thought of putting a treadmill in my office...
17:35 jcamins sekjal: but that requires power.
17:35 chris_n build a gym adjoining your data center and you'll have people paying to help reduce you power bill
17:35 jcamins I like the exercise bike idea better.
17:40 jcamins Anyway, isn't bug fixing like being on a treadmill already?
17:42 chris_n only in that it takes many snacks to keep one coming back for more
17:42 collum I mounted a TV to the wall adjacent to our treadmill because the wife and kids said it was too boring to work out. It was used for 3 days. It is now the most unused TV in our home.
17:45 sekjal yeah, Id have to reverse something in the treadmill, and have it power the house's battery backup
17:46 jcamins I've been pronouncing Koha wrong
17:46 jcamins !
17:47 jcamins sekjal: that would be bad for your knees, though.
17:49 owen jcamins: You're not pronouncing it wrong
17:49 jcamins Well, not on IRC.
17:50 owen That phonetic description is misleading
17:50 chris_n hehe
17:50 jcamins I've been pronouncing it kO-ha.
17:50 owen That's correct
17:50 jcamins Oh.
17:50 chris_n its all in the vowels I think
17:51 * chris_n thinks FF should recover gracefully when one tab crashes
17:52 chris_n having a separate process per tab might help
17:53 chris http://www.korero.maori.nz/forlearners/basics/pronunciation.html
17:53 chris click on the vowels to hear how to pronounce them
17:56 jcamins Those transliterations are with an NZ accent, aren't they? Because when I pronounce "awful" or "pork," I get a sound completely different from their example.
17:56 sekjal thank you, chris. i've been reading that book you recommended, and would like to be able to actually speak about what I read.
17:57 sekjal my pronounciation is usually not so good, sadly
17:57 chris yeah, just click on the letters to hear them, its much easier than trying to write
17:57 chris if you can speak spanish, or japanese ... its the exact same vowel sounds
17:58 chris (same with hawaian, samoan, cook island, tongan etc)
17:58 chris and baring wh and ng
17:59 chris the rest of the letters are the same as english
17:59 chris_n chris: the audio pronunciations are of long vowels?
17:59 chris whare = house in maori, fale = house in samoan ... now with a rolled r, and wh =f ... thats pretty much the same sound
18:00 sekjal chris: i spoke Japanese. that'll help
18:00 chris they were both not written languages tho, so you can blame the fact one has an f one has a wh on the weirdos who wrote them down first
18:01 chris chris_n: yep, same sound but shorter
18:01 chris_n right
18:01 chris long vowel has a macron on it
18:01 chris_n and the 'o' in Koha is short?
18:01 chris both are
18:01 chris MÄori
18:01 chris long a
18:02 chris_n so the 'ao' there is not a diphthong?
18:02 chris core ha
18:02 chris ao = ow (ish)
18:03 chris so no, just the sounds run together
18:03 chris_n where's the accent in Koha?
18:03 collum chris_n beats me to the question
18:03 chris KoHa
18:04 * chris_n thinks some audio pronunciations of the koha-related Maori terms on the website would be very cool
18:04 * jcamins agrees
18:04 * collum agrees as well
18:05 chris http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/files/sound/tereo/koha.mp3
18:05 chris http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/files/sound/tereo/tiaki.mp3
18:06 chris http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/files/sound/tereo/kai.mp3
18:06 chris combine the last two for kaitiaki
18:08 chris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOjp8M6XH4c
18:08 chris and because everyone should see this
18:08 chris :)
18:10 chris and then this
18:10 chris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PcmHqwP7Ow <--- the nz maori rugby team
18:13 * chris stops forcing his culture on people now hehe
18:15 * chris_n loves linguistics
18:24 sekjal still another hour until i board the next flight...
18:24 jcamins chris: what on earth am I watching?
18:24 jcamins (I don't have speakers, maybe it would make sense if I did)
18:31 chris Yep you need speakers
18:32 chris_n heya wizzyrea_
18:32 wizzyrea_ hey chris_n :)
18:32 chris_n how's nz?
18:33 wizzyrea_ beautiful, chilly, wonderfully aromatic :)
18:33 chris_n nice
18:33 chris Should be a nice day today
18:33 * wizzyrea_ is from kansas where it smells like dirt and cow poo and exhaust
18:33 chris @wunder wellington nz
18:33 munin chris: The current temperature in Wellington, New Zealand is 12.0�C (7:00 AM NZDT on October 21, 2010). Conditions: Partly Cloudy. Humidity: 67%. Dew Point: 6.0�C. Pressure: 29.53 in 1000 hPa (Steady).
18:34 wizzyrea_ oooh, yea, that's most of the way towards "warmish"
18:35 chris What's on the cards for today?
18:36 wizzyrea_ either some sort of wellington tour, or a boat ride
18:39 chris Cool
18:42 chris The wellington rover thing is supposed to be good
18:47 * jwagner is feeling overjoyed, qualmish, and frantically busy.
18:48 jwagner Guess who's coming to Kohacon???
18:48 jcamins Not me. :(
18:49 jcamins But, hooray for jwagner! :)
18:49 jwagner Two days notice to pack & get everything ready....
18:50 chris What day do you arrive?
18:50 jwagner Probably Sunday
18:51 wizzyrea_ jane! thats so cool!
18:52 sekjal jwagner: wow, that's last minute! but as my wife pointed out to me, you really only need a couple things to get there (passport, wallet, etc). the rest is just gravy
18:52 jwagner Clean clothes would be nice too.
18:53 jwagner Gotta run for a conference call -- back in a while.
18:53 wizzyrea_ the place I'm staying has a washer in our room
18:53 wizzyrea_ clothes washer
18:53 wizzyrea_ which is SUPER EPIC
18:53 * jwagner makes a note of that!
18:53 sekjal see you in a couple days, jwagner!
18:53 jwagner And where are you staying?
18:53 wizzyrea_ Quest Wellington
18:54 wizzyrea_ it's a short walk from the conference center, and there's probably a bus (I haven't mastered the fu of the bus yet, but getting better)
18:54 jwagner I've got to find a room, preferably as close as possible because I can't walk very much. chris suggested a couple of places -- will track them down after my call. Any other suggestions are welcome :-)
18:55 chris Nomad or west plaza are the closest
18:57 chris Yeah there is a bus from quest
18:57 chris Drops off right by conf centre
18:58 chris Just say 1 zone when you get on
18:58 chris Will be 2 dollars
18:59 sekjal ok, time to find my gate. cheers, all!
19:00 * chris_n waves to sekjal
19:00 * chris_n wanders off to swap a tape
19:01 chris Safe travels
19:03 chris wizzyrea_: any bus going past the stop near you
19:03 chris Will getcha there
19:12 chris Man this bus is slow as hell
19:35 chris right at my desk now
19:36 richard hiya chris
19:36 chris heya richard
19:37 owen did you always work from home before Catalyst chris?
19:37 chris before liblime
19:37 chris yes
19:37 chris from 1997 to 2007 at katipo
19:37 chris worked from home
19:40 chris why?
19:42 owen I wondered if working outside home is a big change
19:42 chris ahh it was, but not anymore :)
19:42 * owen sees lots of benefits to working around other people... bug IRC does a pretty good job of simulating that
19:42 owen s/bug/but
19:43 jcamins owen: thinking of starting to telecommute?
19:44 mib_o3g43 NCAR Library here...curious about batch item deletion. Found it in Tools...but I don't like the barcode approach.
19:44 owen I may work around other people now, but none of them are doing the same thing I do
19:44 mib_o3g43 Is there some other method?
19:44 owen mib_o3g43: What would you prefer?
19:45 jcamins owen: wait, you mean there are places where your coworkers do the same sorts of things you do?
19:45 mib_o3g43 Search the catalog and choose from results...then delete what I want.
19:46 mib_o3g43 perhaps it's a scripting chore
19:46 owen mib_o3g43: It would be nice to integrate the Cart into the bulk modify/delete operations
19:46 mib_o3g43 yes! the cart!
19:46 chris mib_o3g43: you could generate the barcode list from the reports module
19:46 mib_o3g43 good idea
19:46 owen ...except the Cart is biblio-level and those operations are item-level
19:47 chris with some sql
19:47 mib_o3g43 right, i see.
19:47 chris thats how some libraries are using it
19:47 mib_o3g43 so, which report would give me a list of barcodes
19:47 mib_o3g43 or call numbers
19:47 owen mib_o3g43: The better question is what report would give you just the items you wanted
19:48 owen What are your criteria? Are they something that could be returned via SQL?
19:48 mib_o3g43 actually, in this specific case, I'd like to delete entire bib records, not just items.
19:49 mib_o3g43 all of these (43) items have a title of "Required Field"
19:49 mib_o3g43 er, records, not items.
19:52 owen Part of the problem mib_o3g43 is that deleting the items will only get you part of the way there
19:52 owen There's no bulk delete biblio function at the moment
19:52 mib_o3g43 i see. ok
19:54 mib_o3g43 Can biblios be bulk deleted from the back end, with scripts?
19:54 owen At least by using the Cart you could consolidate your list to make manual deletion easier
19:54 mib_o3g43 right, yes
19:54 owen Hi jransom
19:54 jransom hiya all
19:55 chris mib_o3g43: there will be a bulk biblio delete early on in the dev cycle for 3.4
19:55 chris its been written, but didnt make the freeze for 3.2
19:55 chris hiya jransom
19:55 jcamins chris: awesome! I didn't know that.
19:55 jransom hiya
19:55 chris jcamins: bulk modify too
19:55 jcamins Hello, jransom. How go your conference preparations?
19:55 mib_o3g43 awesome.
19:55 chris jcamins: its in the pile of biblibre stuff
19:56 chris paul and hdl are staying on for some days after conference
19:56 mib_o3g43 signing off now...thanks for your help.
19:56 jransom on the edge of panic and despair :)
19:56 chris and we will work on creating branches are rebasing etc, getting it all ready

20:02 chris did i tell you he made a nurse cry?
20:02 jransom i gave him my lotto man keyring with the led light in his foot (you push his tummy) and he held up to his face beaming and said "I love it"
20:02 chris nurse: i have to take another blood test, it will only hurt a little
20:02 chris kahu: crying "why dont you like me?"
20:02 jransom no you didn't - poor nurse

22:12 chris nothing that powerpoint does sounds odd to me
22:12 chris what is the format of the audio?
22:13 jransom will find out.
22:13 jransom i haver told them that we will not have powepoint available
22:13 si chris was it 100 or 150 tokens?
22:14 jransom they can save it presumably as a stand alone play CD (requiring no software)
22:15 chris there are 107 attendees at this point, 100 would do i reckon, its unlikely all of them will have wifi devices
22:16 chris orly, i bet it still needs windows
22:16 jransom yep - bet you are right. i will go and help
22:16 jransom if push came to shove could i plaug my windows lappy into the system?
22:16 chris if push comes to shove and cant get it to work

22:17 chris it works with your project eh?
22:17 chris projector even
22:18 jransom yep
22:19 chris yeah, then dont spend too much time, if its not a simple fix we'll just do that
