01:57 chris just dont cross when richard is driving apparently
01:57 chris :)
01:57 richard actually that was in poort taste, given that a policeman did use it as a target
01:59 jransom slef: no I didn't know - but good to know :)
02:00 robin chris: we do so call them zebra crossings.

02:12 masonj http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010/10/nsa-cartoon-animals-lure-youth-into-the-surveillance-arts/
02:14 pauln hi all, Should macrons display correctly on Maori terms?
02:15 masonj pauln short answer , yes
02:15 masonj if they dont its a data/encoding issue , not a display issue
02:22 pauln thanks masonj - its from a national library marc record so seems a bit odd
02:22 chris got a url pauln ?
02:23 pauln http://library.hauraki-dc.govt.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=47391
02:23 chris ahh i think i know the problem
02:24 pauln King P�otatau is what is showing - don't even know how to type o with macron
02:24 chris yep
02:24 pauln better work on that :)
02:25 chris i think i can fix this pretty easily
02:25 pauln look at that, i came here rather than email you direct to leave you alone and you come riding along to save us anyway!
02:25 chris i just think its not setting hte right header
02:26 chris hmm or maybe not
02:26 robin Content-Type text/html; charset=UTF-8
02:27 chris nope thats messed up in the db
02:27 robin but it claims it's running on IIS, so who knows what crazy it does to things.
02:27 chris ah yeah, there is a proxy in front of it
02:27 chris that might be doing it
02:27 * chris logs in to check the record in the db
02:29 pauln also - the 245b remainder of title does not show in opac i just noticed
02:29 robin hi wizzyrea_, how's wellington been treating you?
02:29 chris pauln: <subfield code="b">an account of the life of P?otatau Te Wherowhero, the first M?aori king /</subfield>
02:29 robin Not been blown out to sea yet?
02:29 wizzyrea_ very well thanks for asking :)
02:29 wizzyrea_ today was about perfect (at last earlier when we were out)
02:29 chris so its not a display thing, it got munged somewhere along the line
02:29 chris oh you can fix that subtitle thing easy
02:29 chris if you go to admin
02:30 robin yeah, it wasn't bad when I was heading in to work.
02:30 chris then keywords to marc mapping
02:30 chris make one called
02:30 chris subtitle
02:30 chris 245
02:30 chris b
02:30 chris that should fix that
02:32 chris that record looks messed up in te puna
02:33 pauln ok, done the mapping bit
02:39 chris you pulled that record in via z3950 eh?
02:41 pauln must have, added post-training
02:41 pauln the te puna record looks ok to me
02:42 chris yeah it seems to be coming across like that
02:42 chris is there a way to search te puna from the web?
02:45 chris AH HA!
02:45 chris te puna is encoded in marc-8
02:45 chris not utf-8
02:45 chris fixinated
02:45 chris http://library.hauraki-dc.govt.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=47391
02:45 chris hows that?
02:46 wizzyrea_ oo, pretty OPAC
02:48 wizzyrea_ hrm, there ought to be a check out override for reserves if there is at least one other item available to fill the hold
02:48 chris ?
02:48 wizzyrea_ so say you have a patron who has an item checked out
02:49 wizzyrea_ and you have 4 items total
02:49 wizzyrea_ 3 are avaliable
02:49 wizzyrea_ if that patron tries to renew it, and the reserve hasn't been assigned
02:49 wizzyrea_ it won't let them renew it, because it wants to give it to the reserve
02:50 wizzyrea_ even though there are other available items
02:57 pauln Chris - te puna link http://nlnzcat.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?PAGE=sbSearch&SEQ=20101021160840&PID=OidXKWLmCUeXK3jLcbXz3UTxAJHM
02:57 chris yep, fixed in the catalogue now
02:57 chris http://library.hauraki-dc.govt.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=47391
02:58 chris te puna is encoded in marc-8
02:58 chris we were expecting utf-8
02:58 chris fixed now
02:58 jcamins_a Do other ILSes not set the LDR/whatever to indicate UTF-8 consistently?
02:59 chris that would be a no
03:00 jcamins_a Ridiculous.
03:00 chris well they often do, but then what their z3950 server hands you
03:00 chris might not match
03:00 jcamins_a So the Z39.50 server changes it?
03:01 chris basically you have to tell your z3950 client what encoding to expect
03:01 chris and it cant mix and match
03:02 chris so have mixed up records in your db, is messy when using Z3950
03:02 chris and often records lie
03:02 jcamins_a I just find the whole thing so baffling.
03:02 robin MARC needs to go away
03:02 robin and be replaced by something sane
03:03 robin and standardised.
03:03 jcamins_a You'd think the library world could get at least one thing right w/r/t languages.
03:03 chris that whole marc-8 thing .. whats that about??? :-)
03:04 robin to aid in standardisation, I'm going to make a commitment to only support MARC in ISO646 and EBCDIC from now on.
03:04 chris heh
03:04 * wizzyrea_ giggles
03:05 chris the first opac i worked on
03:05 chris for wellington city library
03:05 chris the data came out of their mainframe in EBCIDIC
03:05 chris -I
03:05 robin that must have been "fun"
03:05 chris converted it, stuffed into sybase and searched it with perl
03:06 chris ran once a night
03:06 chris was supposed to last for 2 months until their vendor gave them their web opac
03:06 chris it lasted 2 years
03:06 robin goodness
03:06 chris until they changed vendors
03:06 chris agile ... you're doing it wrong!
03:07 robin heh
03:16 pauln chris - sweet, all good
03:16 jcamins_a Okay, time to hit the hay.
03:16 jcamins_a Good night (again), #koha
03:16 chris pauln: excellent
03:16 pauln RDA is almost here to replace MARC - don't ask me anything about it but, no me cataloguer
03:17 pauln is there wifi at kohacon?
03:17 chris there sure is
03:17 chris citylink donated us 3 days of free wifi
03:18 wizzyrea_ !!! that's awesome :D
03:19 pauln are they the ones doing free wifi in cbd?
03:19 chris nope but they do www.cafenet.co.nz
03:19 chris which is cheap wifi

04:30 wizzyrea_ hey slef
04:30 wizzyrea_ omg, we're in the same time zone!
04:31 chris Slef can ur phone take a sim?
04:31 chris 2degrees prepay 3g is probably cheaper
04:31 chris If you can tether
04:32 slef chris: yeah, I was wondering about that, but I want this fixed in the next 45m
04:32 chris Right, as you were :)
04:32 slef any idea of price/package name?
04:32 slef as that may still be worthwhile
04:32 chris Lemme find it
04:37 chris Hmm not as goood as I remember 20 nz for 1gb
04:38 chris http://www.2degreesmobile.co.nz/broadbandzone-data-packs
04:38 chris But still probably cheaper than hotel nets
04:39 slef yeah, data aloways better than time for ssh
04:39 chris If you aren't watching movies unlikely to use all that
04:39 slef ta
04:40 chris Are you in the president hotel?
04:40 chris Lee was going to try to find you

06:41 chris where do you want to go?
06:42 wizzyrea_ well I'm a little torn between out of town to see the country (isn't there a wine area to the north?) and a train around the harbor

06:48 chris looks like only 1 train each way on the wairarapa line on sunday
06:49 chris but the hutt line has tons
06:49 chris so you could go to petone
06:50 chris which is quite a fun little place to look around too
06:51 wizzyrea_ really, 12 miutes by train? I don't know if I can handle that ;)

06:52 chris yeah
06:52 chris hehe
06:53 wizzyrea_ in kansas, maps with that distance mean an hour at least :P
06:53 wizzyrea_ well, what *appears* to be that distance
06:53 wizzyrea_ the scale messes with me

08:40 chris heya hdl
08:40 slef while talking about retarded rules
08:40 chris yeah tv3 and c4 must have some rule about that

08:41 chris actually if you are in hotels
08:41 chris http://www.skytv.co.nz/tv-guide.aspx
08:41 chris you probably have sky
08:42 slef we seem to have a bizarre mix here
08:42 slef one two three six prime dw-tv bvn tv5
08:43 chris ahhh, freeview
08:43 slef http://www.presidenthotel.co.nz/test/tp.html says different channels to what is on the very slow tv
08:44 slef It's a Lifestylepanel.
08:44 slef I suspect that is because you have to plan your life around its boot time.
08:44 slef MSIE inside
08:45 chris ahhh yeah
08:46 chris http://www.freeviewnz.tv/whats_on_freeview/tv_guide <-- like that?
08:52 slef chris: yeah, about half of that.
08:58 chris those are all the free to air ones
09:02 slef oh other thing that was worrying to see: NZ imports the Jeremy Kyle show???
09:14 paul_p hdl should not say "hi from KL", but "Hi from KL business class lounge, where I am on a comfortable chair, could take a shower, while Paul is in economy, on an uncomfortable chair in the airport". But I agree that would be longer :D
09:15 paul_p chris, about ?
09:15 hdl paul_p: that's just an unexpected Happy Birthday from circomstances ;)
09:16 * si wanders by
09:16 paul_p yes ! I forgot that : Happy Birthday once again hdl !!!
09:17 si paul: you're on your way to Wellington?
09:19 paul_p si, nope. On the way to Auckland.
09:19 paul_p we are in Kuala Lumpur, after many events !
09:19 si woo, cool
09:19 paul_p -hdl tickets cancelled by company
09:19 * si lived in KL for several years as a boy
09:19 paul_p - france on strike, missing our AMS<>KL
09:20 si paul: but you'll be in Wellington next week?
09:20 paul_p - we could have had a problem with my luggage, it was not supposed to be given to me in KL, but I saw it by chance when passing near the baggage drop !
09:20 paul_p si, yep, of course ;-)
09:20 si heh
09:20 si splendid
09:21 chris hi paul_p
09:21 si I can categorically state that it will not be as warm as KL here :-)
09:21 chris hehe
09:21 paul_p NZ++
09:21 paul_p and conditionned air is really cold everywhere, so we get hot/cold/hot/cold
09:23 paul_p hi chris. I want your opinion about the 2008-2009 history of Koha. do you think I should speak of the events with ptfs/ll ? I plan to do something like : "title => Houston, we have a problem" and explain in a few lines what happends, and why it has slowed the project (lot of time spent instead of happy hacking)
09:25 chris i think maybe very briefly
09:25 chris patrick jones is no longer coming
09:26 chris but jane wagner is instead
09:26 si Copyright 2005-2006 Ookla
09:26 si Calculates the size of a HTTP Request.
09:31 slef [off] we wondered at dinner who from ptfs would be coming
09:32 slef It's blooming freezing in bucklame president but I think I have figured out the heating.
09:33 chris [off] well when it became clear that we wouldnt be dropping everything to talk to patrick about the foundation, we no longer rated sending management
09:34 slef where should I email my slides?
09:34 slef not absolutely final but I would like to get something saved
09:35 chris kristina at catalyst or chrisc at catalyst
09:35 * paul_p happy with the idea to see jwagner, but don't know (or fear to know) where all this ...(silence here) ... will go :\
09:37 slef so does this mean I should drop the section of my session on the future of koha-community.org?
09:37 slef ;-)
09:39 slef catalyst.co.nz?
09:39 chris net
09:40 slef net or net.nz?
09:41 chris net.nz :)
09:41 slef oh oops - from line on that will be wrong, so please let me know here :)
10:01 chris you sent it to me slef ?
10:02 * chris is falling asleep, so ill let you know in the morning when it makes it through the greylisting or whatever has caught it

12:30 jcamins Hm. First item on my to-do list is figuring out how to duplicate input boxes.
12:33 jcamins I think maybe I'll move that to later in my to-do list.
12:56 jcamins Wow. C4::Languages is impressively confusing.
13:08 brendan So I guess I was talking in my sleep lastnight - I woke up my wife by saying
13:09 schuster jwagner is going to NZ?
13:09 brendan "How much for a MARC record? 2 dollars!!! that's ridiculous!! They should be free!"
13:09 braedon|1 hahaha
13:09 braedon|1 you better be serious brendan
13:09 schuster someone is really proud of their work...
13:09 brendan I guess I kept talking about MARC records - so much that She had to get up and turn the light on for me to stop talking
13:09 jwagner schuster, yes I am, last minute decision as of yesterday.
13:10 * jwagner is VERY busy getting things organized to go....
13:10 brendan then I said - wow that's extreme and rolled over and kept sleeping
13:10 schuster Enjoy! wish there was a last minute decision like that around here, but since my passport has expired I doubt that would work!
13:11 jwagner My passport is about the only thing that IS ready. But I ticked off a lot of errands yesterday. Still a bunch more to go.
13:12 * jwagner is so distracted this morning that I made my second cup of tea with cold water -- guess we're having iced tea....
13:12 jcamins Woohoo! I successfully read the list of languages from the database!
13:20 brendan have a fun trip jwagner!!! hopefully the plane ride treats you ok and you don't have too difficult of time :)
13:21 braedon|1 and don't sleep talk about marc records on the plane :)
13:22 jwagner It's going to be rough. I'm getting handicapped assistance through the various airports, but my arthritic legs aren't going to like that much time in a plane seat.
13:22 jwagner Dunno about sleep talking, but many years back, when I was managing a migration from an old ILS to Unicorn, I was dreaming in MARC record format by the end of the project. I can think of better things to dream about.
13:23 * braedon|1 dreams about uni projects and assignments
13:23 braedon|1 i imagine it will only get worse with work projects :P
13:24 braedon|1 spending the entire night planning out intricate details of an assignment, and then waking up to find it is all nonsense is, well, interesting
13:24 jcamins Why I am I getting an array reference from GetRecordValue?
13:25 jcamins Does that make sense? I don't think it does.
13:25 brendan yeah I can't believe $2dollars for a MARC record and that's nonsense this morning ;)
13:26 jwagner Actually I get some of my best solutions in dreams :-) If I'm struggling with a script or something, I often wake up about 2 AM thinking, oh, THAT'S how to fix it.
13:26 brendan sounds like jcamins is talking in his sleep
13:27 braedon|1 sometimes takes me upwards of half an hour to sort out exactly what i have planned is actually usable, and what is based on some fantasy version of the assignment - not good when the assignment in question is due in a couple of hours
13:27 jcamins brendan: sadly not.
13:28 jcamins I have a keyword mapping 'city'->260a, but when I use GetRecordValue to retrieve it, I get an array reference.
13:28 jcamins When I try to dereference the array, I get nothing.
13:34 jcamins Okay, so according to ref it's an array of an array of a hash.
13:38 * jcamins hates Perl variables
13:38 jcamins Everything is type '$'
13:41 jcamins Okay, supposedly GetRecordValue returns an array of hashes.
13:41 jcamins A shame it doesn't appear to do that when I call it.
13:42 jcamins Except when I try to dereference it, it tells me it's not a hash value.
13:47 * jcamins has decided he doesn't like C4.
13:51 jwagner jcamins, that's a potentially explosive statement :-)
13:54 jcamins Yes, I know.
13:54 jcamins But it seems that C4 is tightly coupled to the template system we use.
13:55 braedon|1 and if you disconnect the couplings in the wrong order, the device will be triggered?
13:56 jcamins I think so, yes.
13:56 * braedon|1 votes for the red wire
13:57 braedon|1 (so long as you change your mind at the last second, you should be fine)
13:58 * jcamins bangs his head on the table
13:59 jcamins Interesting fact: the limited comments in C4 are often misleading or wrong.
14:00 braedon|1 positive thinking jcamins - remeber, if you want it hard enough, you can do anything
14:00 braedon|1 those comments are the negative thinkgers
14:00 braedon|1 thinkers even
14:01 braedon|1 always trying to bring you down
14:01 braedon|1 don't let them lead you astray!
14:01 braedon|1 read the code, understand the code, BE the code!
14:02 jcamins I think that this is a hash.
14:02 jcamins Unfortunately, apparently Perl disagrees.
14:02 jcamins The Template Pro agrees with me, however.
14:06 braedon|1 alas, my "usefulness" re perl is currently limited to motivational comments
14:07 jcamins Okay, Perl is convinced this is not a hash reference.
14:08 jcamins It says it's an array.
14:10 jcamins Ah ha.
14:10 jcamins It's an array of an array of a hash, and Perl won't let you access it directly.
14:12 jcamins I have successfully extracted "New York."
14:20 jcamins my @cities = GetRecordValue('city', $record, GetFrameworkCode($biblionumber));
14:20 jcamins my $city = shift @cities;
14:20 jcamins print @$city[0]->{'subfield'};
14:20 jcamins exit;
14:20 jcamins Hm. That didn't work.
14:21 jcamins If anyone wants to retrieve the value from GetRecordValue directly, the code for that is $whatever[0][0]->{'subfield'} with $whatever declared as an array.
14:29 jcamins Do you put subroutine definitions at the top or bottom of a a file?
14:33 brendan I think usually practice is at the end
14:33 brendan bottom
14:34 jcamins Okay, thanks.
15:04 brendan ah which table are lists stored in?
15:09 jcamins virtualshelfcontents?
15:10 jcamins How come scalar() is returning an array reference?
15:20 jcamins I think Perl didn't use pointers?
15:23 jcamins *thought
15:31 jcamins Does anyone here understand Perl arrays?
15:40 * jcamins remembers why he hates working with Perl.
16:01 jcamins Okay, this can wait until NZ wakes up.
16:01 jcamins Two hours and I've made no progress.
16:05 gmcharlt jcamins: one trick is to use Data::Dumper;
16:05 gmcharlt then Dumper($foo) will print the structure of a variable that is a reference
16:06 schuster gmcharlt - you going to NZ?
16:06 gmcharlt schuster: no; I'll be attending the conference is spirit, as it were
16:07 * jwagner will hoist a glass for gmcharlt, in the spirit
16:09 schuster Stuck here with the rest of us US unable to leave the country! Now I don't feel so bad!
16:14 jcamins gmcharlt: I'll try that.
16:14 jcamins Actually, I think I'll make this save MARC records first.
16:16 jcamins Now I just have to figure out whether someone's hit the "Submit" button or not.
16:17 jcamins Is it just me or does the Perl documentation make exactly no allowance for people who don't already know how to do what they want to do?
16:17 jcamins I decided to give up.
16:17 jcamins Sorry, wrong window.
16:17 gmcharlt jcamins: that's what the Camel book is for
16:17 jcamins (the giving up bit... that was about another project)
16:17 jcamins gmcharlt: I shall have to get a copy then.
17:17 brendan schuster you a rangers fan?

19:02 schuster any hints?
19:05 slef just as you wrote but s/but/and/ and ' instead of "
19:05 slef might be a more optimised way of writing it - iDunno
19:06 schuster Guess I wrote it almost correct anyway! booksellerid like "%PO%" not booksellerid like "%BOND%"
19:06 brendan like '' and not like '';
19:06 schuster yes anyway That wasn't in my mysql book in a nutshell!

22:51 jcamins How is my desk a mess again?
23:33 cyrixbmx Why in Koha when I have a double quote in my sentence I can not translate de sentence in my file .po? Exemple : in the file fr-CA-pref.po I have the following string : msgid "enhanced-content.pref#AmazonEnabled# data from Amazon on the staff interface (including reviews and \"Search Inside\" links on item detail pages). This requires that you have signed up for and entered an access key."
23:33 cyrixbmx But since there is double quote in the string, koha can not translate the sentend with : msgstr "les donn�es d'Amazon sur l'interface professionnelle (y compris les critiques et les liens \"Recherche interne\" sur les pages de d�tails de l'ouvrage). Ceci n�cessite une demande de cl� d'acc�s et la saisie de cette m�me cl�."
23:36 cyrixbmx hmmm I will go sleep then if someone know the response he can to reply me in private :) thanks
