Time Nick Message
22:01 jcamins_away Good night.
22:01 wizzyrea :)
22:01 wizzyrea and with that, friends, I bid you adieu
22:00 jcamins_away Hm. I guess I should've thought of that, too.
22:00 wizzyrea Patterson's new one is in there too
21:59 wizzyrea to me
21:59 jcamins_away Don't know why I didn't think of Hunger Games.
21:59 wizzyrea ^^ is surprising
21:59 wizzyrea and how to train your dragon
21:59 jcamins_away Oh, of course!
21:59 wizzyrea The hunger games trilogy
21:59 wizzyrea the DVD
21:59 wizzyrea Tangled
21:59 wizzyrea more issues = (to an extent) more items purchased
21:59 jcamins_away Ah.
21:58 wizzyrea i'm not sure a lot of our libraries are buying multiple copies of martin
21:58 wizzyrea it'd be up there
21:58 wizzyrea I suspect if you looked at old_issues
21:58 jcamins_away Okay, I'm not sure what else.
21:58 wizzyrea however
21:58 wizzyrea another surprising no
21:58 jcamins_away George R.R. Martin?
21:58 wizzyrea Evanovich's newest
21:58 wizzyrea several of the twilight books
21:57 jcamins_away Okay, I have 3 of them.
21:57 jcamins_away That's what I figured.
21:57 wizzyrea no to steig larssen
21:56 wizzyrea :) yep
21:56 jcamins_away (of HP)
21:56 wizzyrea no, surprisingly
21:56 jcamins_away Book one and book seven?
21:56 jcamins_away Stieg Larssen?
21:56 wizzyrea two of the books are in the top 20 yes
21:56 jcamins_away Harry Potter?
21:56 wizzyrea any other guesses?
21:56 wizzyrea yes
21:55 jcamins_away Is one of them Twilight?
21:54 wizzyrea top 20 bibs with most items checked out
21:54 wizzyrea oh this is a fun report
20:54 Brooke I just know it!
20:54 Brooke ata's gonna win
20:54 Brooke football!
20:54 Brooke hooray
20:52 rangi right, time to atarau to play football, bbl
20:51 wizzyrea rangi++
20:51 wizzyrea but thank you
20:51 wizzyrea ok now I feel extra dumb.
20:51 rangi select count(*),biblionumber from reserves group by biblionumber;
20:50 wizzyrea eiving it even
20:50 * Brooke nods and smiles.
20:50 wizzyrea i feel that this should be easier than I'm concieving it
20:49 wizzyrea i don't want to count how many distinct individual biblionumbers in reserves, I want to count how many reserves per distinct biblionumber.
20:48 Brooke it doesn't have to work :)
20:48 Brooke it's American Friday afternoon
20:48 wizzyrea mah brain is not wurking.
20:25 Brooke a yep
20:25 wizzyrea but, it's their right
20:24 * Brooke nods.
20:24 * wizzyrea thinks they might be crazy.
20:24 rangi ppl still install 2.2.5 now
20:24 wizzyrea http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MSt3k5WKZdA/TUpJcK0rK5I/AAAAAAAABRk/p_ynZQqCAY0/s1600/c.png
20:24 wizzyrea also brooke
20:22 wizzyrea oh, nm
20:21 wizzyrea but in 09, we were on 3.0. That's bewildering.
20:21 wizzyrea in 2009
20:20 Brooke practically local :D
20:20 Brooke Kathmandu
20:20 Brooke oh sweet
20:20 wizzyrea http://mtech-ku.blogspot.com/2009/11/report-on-deployment-of-koha-at.html
20:20 wizzyrea hmm
20:19 wizzyrea uhhhhhh
20:17 Brooke so I can credit it properly?
20:17 Brooke who had that blogspot screenshot
20:17 Brooke so uh
20:13 Brooke I just can't resist Cartman, where Cartman can be quoted.
20:12 Brooke that's usually how things get better. :D
20:12 Brooke feel free to disagree
20:12 Brooke RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAY?!!$ !@$ ;)
20:11 wizzyrea mm I'm not sure I agree, but I respect your opinion.
20:10 Brooke it was loud, but more intuitive.
20:09 wizzyrea obviously we saw the error of our ways
20:09 wizzyrea and then I installed openbiblio :P
20:09 wizzyrea and it looked like that
20:08 wizzyrea i remember the very first time I installed koha
20:06 Brooke that is what I meant, so thanks :)
20:05 wizzyrea hm yea
20:05 Brooke that is the intranet, no?
20:05 wizzyrea http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MSt3k5WKZdA/TUpJsDrAOyI/AAAAAAAABRo/I8boAKsH9Fg/s1600/e.png
20:05 rangi that was only on the opac
20:05 wahanui well, the opac is for patrons
20:05 rangi oh, the opac
20:04 * Brooke hopes that at least this slideshow will be of use to Ian if it's not gonna be at conference.
20:04 Brooke looking for the big old koru that had modules next to it
20:04 Brooke no and no :(
20:03 wizzyrea and good morning
20:02 wizzyrea lookit all of those toolbars!
20:02 wizzyrea ohsnap
20:02 rangi http://photos.bigballofwax.co.nz/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12
20:01 * wizzyrea reminds rhcl_away to turn 'safe search' back on
20:00 wizzyrea http://gallery.katipo.co.nz/albums/album102/home_v2.sized.jpg
20:00 wizzyrea you mean this one brooke
20:00 Brooke kitty feeding time, brb
20:00 rhcl_away uh, no, I don't think anything library related would pull against some of the images that came up.
19:58 Brooke rhcl I think it happens because of all of the library 2.0 crap messin it up
19:58 rhcl_away but judging from some of the results a "koha" search term pulled I'd say google is using zebra as an indexer
19:57 SirDekar don't worry it was my mistake
19:57 rhcl_away some images on images.google.com, but I didn't see a welcome screen
19:57 Brooke sorry about the trouble
19:57 Brooke outstanding :D
19:57 SirDekar had to start over
19:57 SirDekar that command I mentioned was left :P
19:56 SirDekar I did it Brooke, thanks
19:52 Brooke anyone have a screen shot of the 2.0 staff welcome screen? You know, ole lime green?
19:31 Brooke I just feel bad that no native spanish speakers are on at the moment. There are a tonne that use Koha, so try the listserv if all else fails.
19:28 SirDekar I'll see if this solve my problem
19:28 SirDekar "$ cd misc/translator && perl install-code.pl fr-FR es-ES"
19:28 SirDekar no I found a command to apply traslations
19:27 SirDekar it was a problem
19:21 Brooke ¿tienes problemas ahorra? ¿o solo preguntas?
19:17 * Brooke wishes she had been Spanish cataloguing sooner than last year...
19:16 SirDekar :D
19:12 Brooke *before* installation, or _after_? XD
19:12 SirDekar I am investigating
19:11 Brooke did you try and encounter a problem?
19:11 * Brooke nods.
19:10 SirDekar all of them, I am from Panama, spanish speakers
19:10 SirDekar just few of them could know english
19:10 Brooke plenty of them
19:10 SirDekar clients/users know spanish
19:07 Brooke http://translate.koha-community.org/es/
19:07 Brooke *should*
19:06 SirDekar web installer can be installed in Spanish, right?
19:05 wizzyrea ah yea I see
19:05 wizzyrea from es?
19:05 Brooke at least what's linked.
19:05 Brooke yuck, documentation is only english; spanish is a version behind and only in pdf
19:04 SirDekar si
19:03 Brooke ha visto http://es.koha-community.org/?
19:03 Brooke no, lociento
19:02 SirDekar alguien ha instalado Koha en español?
19:02 Brooke 0/
19:01 wizzyrea ah it's all good I can ask her monday
19:01 Brooke cause I don't see either handle on
19:01 Brooke you prolly have to @later
18:59 wizzyrea about?
18:59 wizzyrea cait / kf
18:58 Agent_Dani wizzyrea: Cool! I'll have to check that out.
18:55 Brooke 0/
18:26 wizzyrea I don't have much interest in it, but thought maybe someone here might
18:25 wizzyrea that's free today
18:25 wizzyrea those of you using redhat/fedora/centOS, there's an android app "Linux Cheat Sheet"
18:15 Agent_Dani wizzyrea: I'll take the ice here...might break the all-time record high here.
18:14 oleonard don't worry wizzyrea it will melt down his shirt on its own
18:14 * wizzyrea runs away laughing
18:14 * wizzyrea puts ice down libsysguy's shirt as a prize
18:14 * libsysguy accepts oleonard's prized ice cream
18:13 wizzyrea which items have the most holds
18:13 wizzyrea what items have the most checked out items
18:13 * oleonard gives libsysguy an ice cream cone as a prize
18:13 wizzyrea such as
18:13 libsysguy MUHAHA oleonard loses the heat wave by .8 degrees
18:13 wizzyrea the librarians want a "trending" display on the OPAC
18:13 wizzyrea ooooo
18:10 wizzyrea ah yea, it's high thin clouds. I can see why they say clear. But that's still more clouds than we've had in weeks. :P
18:09 bg man you all are like twice as hot as me -- 16 vs. 30
18:09 oleonard Crazy talk.
18:09 * wizzyrea actually goes OUTSIDE to check
18:08 wizzyrea it doesn't look clear
18:08 wizzyrea that's odd
18:08 wizzyrea but it says clear
18:08 wizzyrea cloudy, for the first time in weeks
18:08 wizzyrea it's nice today
18:08 wizzyrea :)

16:43 nengard i think
16:43 nengard can someone remind me where the publication year for marc21 goes? for unimarc it's biblioitems.publicationyear
15:53 kf have a nice weekend all!
15:53 kf ok, time to leave
15:39 kf afaik
15:33 libsysguy so for now its online only?
15:33 libsysguy hmm
15:33 kf to do that, not sure about the version
15:33 kf hm I think there is a patch for 3.6
15:33 libsysguy because it looks like it pulls the csv file out of the http header
15:32 libsysguy can i use the import_borrowers script via command line
15:04 sekjal brb
15:02 oleonard drupal-- # for making upgrades difficult.
15:01 paul_p probably a backdoor in drupal or mantis (that are also on this server) let the hacker upload enlightement rootkit. We will upgrade ASAP & check the server everytime...
15:00 paul_p OK, mail server is back !
14:58 sekjal I think it should work all around... but I could be mistaken
14:58 kf coworker said he copied the solution from a source in the internet
14:57 kf we don#t do returns on this self check - so not sure there is needed something at other places in the code
14:54 sekjal I think I could wrangle some volunteers to test it
14:53 kf other problems may arise
14:52 kf not sure this is the perfect solution- but it solves our problem
14:52 pastebot "kf" at 193.197.29.135 pasted "From 9176fd464eae3782fe96b53bc" (33 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/1404
14:52 sekjal right
14:52 kf really
14:52 kf not a solution for germany
14:51 kf I am posting the patch we created to pastebin, give me a sec
14:51 sekjal I scrubbed the diacritic marks
14:51 kf this might be your hack
14:51 kf he says the slips are not printing correctly, but the checking out process works now
14:51 sekjal that's much more elegant than the hack I wrote
14:51 kf our customer was able to checkout the books now on the self check
14:51 sekjal oh!
14:51 kf we changed the checksum calculation, he told me something about not counting letters but bits?
14:50 kf solution was on the web
14:50 sekjal how?
14:50 kf we got it working now
14:50 kf yes
14:50 sekjal kf: are we talking critics in titles over SIP connections?
14:49 sekjal kf: meeting done
14:48 kf wizzyrea: want a patch?
14:48 * kf grins
14:48 kf hi paul_p: we solve dit :)
14:40 oleonard I guess it's taken me a while to fill this one up.
14:39 * oleonard finds notes in his notebook about NPL's upgrade to Koha 2.2
14:33 paul_p kf, about 3M, I can't help i'm afraid, only hdl could.
14:30 paul_p kf, yes around (and just discovered one of our recent customer has all his table in myISAM, so witjout contraints...) sh..t friday !
14:23 * kf nods
14:23 wizzyrea that is also interesting. I wonder what they did to fix it, because special characters make our 3M machines puke.
14:22 kf hdl told me they had 3M self checks and it worked 'like a charm'
14:21 druthb :D
14:21 kf I wonder how they work in france
14:21 wizzyrea though I admit I haven't looked at it in months, the library just deals with it
14:21 wizzyrea not yet
14:21 * jcamins_away passes along the hug, and returns with a hug for Ruth.
14:21 kf wizzyrea: and you found no work around for pokemon?
14:20 druthb ;-)
14:20 * druthb hugs her second-favorite New Yorker, and sends one with him to pass along to her favorite.
14:20 jcamins_away Hi, druthb!
14:20 kf pokemon :)
14:20 kf oh my
14:20 kf paul_p: still around? aren't you working with 3m too in some of your libraries?
14:20 wizzyrea at least in our self check library
14:19 wizzyrea you will be hailed as the mighty savior of pokémon
14:19 libsysguy ok i can do that
14:19 druthb hi, jcamins_away! :)
14:19 wizzyrea nope
14:19 kf and I will get beaten up for it in the end? ;)
14:19 * libsysguy is a lazy java programmer
14:19 druthb split returns an array, and you're wanting to push a scalar, so you have to grab a specific one...you could do what you're trying, but better to take a line, so you can read it later.
14:19 kf lol
14:19 wizzyrea "the germans can do it, why can't you"
14:19 wizzyrea and an excellent stick to beat 3M with
14:19 jcamins_away libsysguy: I think you're better off using a variable, so that you can figure out what it means.
14:19 wizzyrea actually that's a very very good point
14:19 wizzyrea yes, that
14:18 kf I think they probably made it work with unicode
14:18 wizzyrea welllll
14:18 libsysguy here is what i actually have push(@patron,split('@',$row[3])[0]); #split email to get userid
14:18 kf especially not with diacritics
14:18 libsysguy hmm is there anyway to do it without assigning it to a var
14:18 kf we send test cases for them to work and they tested a lot and so far except for the known problems with holds we had no bigger problems
14:17 druthb you could use ,1 and leave off the undef, but this is explicit--I want the first thing, and deliberately toss the rest.
14:17 kf not sure if they had to do a lot of stuff
14:17 druthb my ($result,undef) = split(/\@/,$incoming_variable,2);
14:16 wizzyrea specifically, the problem isn't koha
14:16 wizzyrea uh, i realize how ironic that sounds.
14:16 wizzyrea so maybe the problem isn't SIP, it's 3M
14:16 wizzyrea that is VERY interesting
14:16 kf other library uses german vendor
14:16 kf yeah
14:16 libsysguy druthb any tips on doing a split and only taking the first element...im trying to split an email on the @ and only grab the name so elliott@uttyler.edu would return elliott with split('@','elliott@uttyler.edu')[0]
14:16 wizzyrea other vendor for self check?
14:15 kf and it all shows up perfectly
14:15 kf migrated hebrew in 245$a titles
14:15 kf and they have hebrew titles
14:15 kf we had no problems with our other vendor
14:15 kf wizzyrea: ouch
14:14 druthb libsysguy: it does take time, and it takes doing it a lot. One thing I've learned a lot from is Perl Best Practices. There is no one right way to do all this--that's one of the features of perl, is that you can do darn near anything six ways--but PBP advocates for, and presents, one way to do things that makes for easy to read, easy to maintain code that you can recycle and use over and over.
14:13 wizzyrea is something that we have been trying to figure out for a couple of years :/
14:13 wizzyrea that, my dear friend
14:13 wizzyrea well
14:13 libsysguy yeah i think it'll take time for me to learn
14:13 kf how do we make the sad panda happier?
14:12 wizzyrea it'll kick it offline, in my experience
14:12 kf ohoh
14:12 kf only supposed to check out
14:12 wizzyrea yea, special characters + 3m + sip = sad panda
14:12 kf yep
14:12 wizzyrea using SIP?
14:12 kf yep
14:12 wizzyrea 3m self check?
14:12 druthb i-am-but-an-egg, libsysguy, but thank you. I've been at it a while, and I've learned a few useful tricks.
14:12 kf and I think I remember you talking about checksums
14:11 kf we have problems with titles with umlauts and wonder if that could be the reason
14:11 kf checksum, 3m self check
14:11 kf ah
14:11 sekjal kf: here, but in a meeting at the moment
14:11 libsysguy druthb your perl scripting skills are far superior to my own
14:11 wizzyrea how's it goin?
14:11 kf sekjal: around?
14:10 druthb wizzyrea, hi thar
14:09 wizzyrea druthb, hi thar
14:03 oleonard List traffic... that's a good sign.
13:51 * oleonard always feels that using a subquery is "cheating," but isn't sure why
13:50 wizzyrea so yay~!
13:50 wizzyrea same number
13:50 wizzyrea that lists them out and gets the same as select count(distinct borrowernumber) from reserves;
13:49 oleonard select * from borrowers where borrowernumber in (select distinct borrowernumber from reserves) ?
13:49 oleonard You could do it with a subquery I suppose wizzyrea
13:43 wizzyrea something like - count each unique patron number in reserves and old_reserves
13:42 libsysguy hey oleonard i think ifigured it out
13:42 wizzyrea a report that shows how many patrons place holds
13:42 libsysguy YAYYYY
13:42 wizzyrea friday morning stumper:
13:40 libsysguy oh yeah...a bit
13:38 oleonard The ones on the page
13:38 libsysguy oleonard: where are the instructions...did i miss them on the wiki or are you referring to the instructions on the side of the page
13:31 oleonard The instructions do sound tricky.
13:28 libsysguy and im not sure how to format it in the csv file
13:28 libsysguy i have an extended attribute that i want to import
13:28 libsysguy can somebody give me a hand with the bulk patron import script
13:15 huginn` New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 6635] Can't page through results in label batch <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6635>
12:24 oleonard A pretty one, maybe...
12:24 oleonard If I load additem.pl without passing a biblionumber I don't think I should get an ugly error page
12:24 oleonard it drives me crazy that Koha scripts don't gracefully handle errors when parameters are missing.
12:12 kf hi Agent_Dani
12:11 Agent_Dani :D Slogging through work. Dealing with low-priority stuff as I can't do anything with my high-priority project right now.
12:10 druthb hi, Agent_Dani!
12:10 wahanui niihau, Agent_Dani
12:10 Agent_Dani Hi
12:05 oleonard Hi
12:05 druthb hi, oleonard! :D
11:07 kf gymnastics_at_work++
11:07 * kf will be sore tomorrow - gymnastics
11:07 kf lol
10:56 druthb rangi++
10:56 rangi i may be drunk, but i can still ban wiki spammers
10:46 druthb good morning, #koha. :)
10:06 kf paul_p: no reason to be sorry :) Easy to miss, I just didn't want you to worry about the patch
10:05 kf I think leavint it open is best, without a status for patch send
10:05 paul_p shouldn't we let "patch pushed" so ? (even if there's a problem)
10:05 paul_p kf, oups, sorry
10:03 kf paul_p: bub 6066 has already been pushed, I will reset the status and have added a comment. I was testing to close the bug when I found a problem.

09:47 paul_p OK, solution for restarting the server found.Should be back in less than 2 hours...
09:31 Brooke *knocks on wood* at least the bot programmers were lazy and didn't foresee a revert war
09:29 Brooke git 'em Paul! :)
09:29 paul_p seems the server has really been hacked...
08:56 Brooke I'm positive that nengard, paul, magnus, gmcharlt can all do so. (hint, hint.)
08:54 Brooke but it'd be cool to drop the ban hammer on em
08:54 Brooke I reverted what I could
08:54 kf Brooke: there is lots of spam on the wiki - but normally someone blocks very fast
08:52 kf not sure
08:45 Brooke anyone on that's cool enough to IP ban a wiki bot?
08:43 Brooke kia ora
08:35 paul_p security++, but reboot without warning--
08:34 paul_p well, the server is OK. We could request the provider to reboot it normally. But he could detect a hacking again. Except it seems that this provider sometimes shutdown for security reason, without a valid reason (some complains found on the forums...)
08:33 kf paul_p: and that on a friday - hope you can solve it soon
08:25 kf double ouch
08:18 paul_p shut down by the provider. mailing lists down
08:12 kf ouch :(
08:09 paul_p BibLibre mail server hacked...

07:13 kf hi #koha

03:57 libsysguy oh well...im off to bed to welcome friday in with shut eyes
03:57 libsysguy yeah it does...
03:56 eythian Man. The past sure does suck.
03:56 libsysguy :'(*
03:56 libsysguy i still have an hour till its friday
03:56 libsysguy and i had my days of drinking...college
03:56 eythian it is Friday after all
03:55 libsysguy its ok...i don't think i can finish this tonight anyway
03:55 eythian *no
03:55 eythian unfortunately now
03:55 eythian wow. You must miss out on a lot.
03:55 libsysguy you wouldn't happen to know the answer to my question would you?
03:54 libsysguy lol
03:54 libsysguy but thanks for making me want to move to NZ
03:54 libsysguy negative good sir
03:54 eythian don't you do that?
03:54 eythian yes?
03:54 libsysguy *jealous eyes*
03:54 libsysguy omg there is an entire day dedicated to drinking
03:53 eythian rangi has gone to prepare for friday drinking
03:53 libsysguy what would i put there?
03:53 libsysguy if i have a patron attribute defined
03:52 libsysguy rangi in the bulk patron import tool i see there is a patron attribute field
03:35 libsysguy exactly
03:35 rangi heh yeah it has to cater to everything
03:35 libsysguy well i can safely safely say that Koha's was far more complex than mine :p
03:35 rangi http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz/2011/07/29/changes-for-3-4-3-broken-down-by-filetype/
03:35 rangi *nod*
03:34 libsysguy its cool...writing a script is a learning process anyway
03:34 rangi sorry i didnt tell ya earlier
03:33 * libsysguy cries a little on the inside
03:33 rangi i suspect it does ;)
03:33 libsysguy but im going to be upset if it does the same thing as the script i just wrote lol
03:33 rangi in the staff interface
03:33 rangi look under tools
03:33 rangi ahhh
03:33 libsysguy no i haven't
03:32 jcamins_away rangi: thanks.
03:32 rangi that can import a csv file, and do extended attributes etc
03:32 rangi libsysguy: you have seen the borrower import tool in koha eh?
03:31 rangi yup i think so jcamins_away
03:31 jcamins_away libsysguy: no, they're in the extended attributes table.
03:31 libsysguy i see it in the other table
03:31 jcamins_away Actually, that's how we handle items already, isn't it?
03:31 libsysguy oops
03:31 libsysguy are the extended attributes in borrowers?
03:30 jcamins_away rangi: any idea if I could add a koha:visibility attribute to MARCXML?
03:29 libsysguy ok i might do the extended attributes
03:29 rangi or you could use extended attributes
03:29 rangi yep, you could use it for that
03:29 wahanui any ideas are welcome :)
03:29 libsysguy any ideas?
03:28 libsysguy i was looking for a field to put whether a student is a freshman, sophomore etc
03:28 rangi borrowers table
03:28 libsysguy jcamins_away: do you know where they are in the database
03:28 rangi libsysguy: yeah, you can leave them blank safely
03:28 jcamins_away libsysguy: they're for your own use for reporting.
03:27 jcamins_away Hypothetically speaking, could a valid MARCXML document have attributes on the subfield tag from a different namespace?
03:26 libsysguy rangi do you know what the sort 1 and sort 2 fields are for when you enter a new patron
02:36 libsysguy rangi++ for good coding music selection
02:36 rangi how bout http://soundcloud.com/wick-it/beastie-boys-no-sleep-till
02:35 libsysguy now this is my kind of music
02:11 rangi libsysguy: http://soundcloud.com/neek-dubstep/liquid-torqux-power-stalkers
02:07 libsysguy ok cool :)
02:07 libsysguy until it replicates i suppose it won't be there
02:07 rangi if its doing ldap auth, dont need a password in the koha db
02:07 rangi nope
02:06 libsysguy is that going to be a problem?
02:06 libsysguy we are probably just going to be doing LDAP auth at the university but i have a feed of currently enrolled students that I am going to push to the database that doesn't contain passwords
02:05 rangi maybe
02:02 libsysguy anybody around that can offer up some advice on the borrowers table?
02:01 libsysguy evening #Koha
01:01 Brooke ooooh Melissa Harris Perry
00:58 jcamins_away Heh.
00:57 Brooke http://www.wben.com/pages/8230372.php?
00:56 jcamins_away What?
00:56 Brooke "He's a business man from Buffalo?"
00:56 jcamins_away Hence the looseness of the definition.
00:56 * jcamins_away hunted and gathered extensively in the wilds of his refrigerator and pantry.
00:56 Brooke psha, fine hunter / gatherer you are :P
00:55 jcamins_away Also, I have neither venison nor wild rice.
00:55 jcamins_away That sounds good too, but it fails the "must be pizza" requirement for my dinner.
00:55 Brooke I just _didn't_/
00:55 Brooke not that I *can't* make pizza
00:54 Brooke some dried cranberries in there, though
00:54 Brooke just venison and wild rice
00:54 Brooke nah no pizza
00:53 jcamins_away Intriguing.
00:53 jcamins_away Venison and wild rice pizza?
00:51 Brooke I still have some venison and wild rice.
00:51 Brooke That sounds dangerous
00:51 * Brooke grunts.
00:51 * jcamins_away reinterprets "pizza" in the loosest possible sense of the word.
00:50 wahanui friday is It's Friday, Friday Gotta get down on Friday
00:50 Brooke wahanui: friday?
00:50 Brooke kia ora
00:21 Judit :)
00:19 jcamins_away Oh no! I have no cheese!
00:17 danmc but perhaps yours is a ROHS one
00:16 danmc I prefer to not put leaded items in my dishwasher...
00:12 rhcl off to do stuff...ltr
00:10 rhcl 'em whole.
00:10 rhcl I did learn, after about my third one, that it was better to take the time to actually take them apart and wash just the upper part, not the electronics. It took about three days to dry out if I washed
00:08 jcamins_away rhcl: the last time I washed a keyboard with rubbing alcohol was probably about a decade ago, and it was a *really cheap* one.
00:07 rhcl Well, I wash them (keyboards) in the dishwasher fairly often, but then they have to dry overnight. I was thinking alcohol might speed up the drying process.
00:07 jcamins_away It's just way too humid.
00:07 * jcamins_away is not feeling optimistic about this pizza.
00:06 jcamins_away It depends on the type of plastic.
00:06 jcamins_away rhcl: I'd say it's worth a try.
00:02 rhcl ya think? I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt it, but maybe I'll just buy a new one.
00:00 Judit happy sysadmin day - dont forget to buy/make pizza to your sysadmin :)
