20:28 cait i would be worreid about that
20:27 drojf i only remember the london thing because i found pictures of that a while ago. don't actually remember being in there :D
20:27 drojf oh, then it's very different
20:27 cait takes 100 minutes - was quite good
20:27 cait a bit of water fun
20:27 cait a little free fall
20:26 cait it's a horror thing wiht actors
20:25 drojf the hamburg dungeon… is like the london dungeon with more hitler? (or less, maybe)
20:24 drojf better take a day off :)

20:21 * tcohen is amazed watching Koha's history through gource
20:21 cait drojf++
20:20 drojf lol
20:20 mtompset And an automatic reply would also programme for arguing with %s? ;)
20:20 drojf that's what an delayed automatic reply would say, trying to be clever
20:19 mtompset No, because an automatic reply wouldn't be as delayed as I was.
20:19 mtompset Would an SEO trick require putting everything in caps, and lower, and mixed, and repeating it in hex, ascii, unicode, and a few other ways? ;)
20:19 drojf that's what an automatic reply would say :P
20:17 mtompset drojf: Are you trying to incite a riot against me being polite and acknowledging those who I know are here? :P
20:17 drojf lol
20:17 tcohen maybe a SEO trick?
20:16 drojf hi mtompset :P
20:16 drojf is that greeting spam? ^^
20:16 mtompset Greetings, druthb cait drojf rangi gmcharlt maximep oleonard tcohen etc. :)

20:09 mtompset maximep++ # thanks for the bug number
20:09 mtompset Ah, must have inversed somehow. Okay, my master does have that patch, which ends my confusion. :)
20:07 gmcharlt rangi: sure; I just was ... confused at that thought that you might be using classic csh :)
20:06 rangi gmcharlt: yeah i like zsh because of the shared history (and for lots of other reasons)

20:04 oleonard It'd be nice if Bugzilla had a way of saying that a bug was awaiting the comment of a specific person or persons
20:01 maximep http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=5cba6457aa00f3f3b2038f70057df300d9c6b9c3
20:01 maximep and finish removed
20:01 maximep cached were changed to prepare, iirc. I think you inversed your diff :p
20:00 gmcharlt mtompset: http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI/DBI.pm#prepare_cached
19:59 mtompset And the prepare's were changed to prepare_cached. What's the difference between the two?
19:58 mtompset ClassSource, sorry.
19:58 tcohen but not in a class file right?
19:58 mtompset I was looking at a git diff origin/master on one of my branches, and noticed a whole bunch of sth->finish()'s added to C4::Classsource
19:57 oleonard Only at the very very end of Koha.
19:56 mtompset Quick question, should there ever be a sth->finish() call made in the koha code?
19:56 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
19:54 gmcharlt rangi: thanks for clarifying that, my raised eyebrow needed a rest! ;)
19:53 tcohen booked yesterday :-D

16:25 oleonard Are the users of the IndependentBranches setting simply accustomed to it working imperfectly?
16:24 oleonard Why do my patron searches not return patrons from other branches, but I'm not prevented from viewing or checking out to patrons from other branches (given their card number or borrowernumber)
16:23 oleonard IndependentBranches is weird. Why am I blocked from checking out an item from another branch, but not blocked from checking out to a patron from another branch?
16:22 oleonard tcohen: I'm not familiar with the options tcohen so I don't have an opinion.
16:21 tcohen ?
16:21 tcohen oleonard: would u use jqplot for a circulation statistics dashboard
16:15 tcohen ok, next in the queue: memcached for packages
16:14 tcohen but i guess he has bash installed
16:14 tcohen rangi said he uses csh
16:14 gmcharlt but I can't think of any off the top of my head that wouldn't have /bin/bash
16:14 tcohen ok, i'll check and maybe fill a new bug
16:13 gmcharlt indeed
16:13 tcohen which we should start thinking of
16:13 gmcharlt I don't think it's worth bothering with (unless we think there are non-Debian platforms that would use the control scripts that don't have bash)
16:12 tcohen do u want me to fix the shell thing?
16:12 gmcharlt hi tcohen
16:11 tcohen hi gmcharlt
15:55 oleonard Oh never mind, I superlibrarianed my staff account.
15:53 oleonard If I have IndependentBranches enabled shouldn't I be prevented from checking out an item from Branch A to a patron at Branch B?

14:58 jcamins Agreed.
14:57 oleonard (first order ob business after jcamins becomes King of Cataloging, institute mandatory cataloging dungeons)
14:57 oleonard No one knows that word outside of the world's cataloging dungeons
14:55 jcamins I'm not sure that's an improvement.
14:55 jcamins The succinct label is "realia."
14:54 oleonard If we add an icon specifically for 'Three-dimensional artifact or naturally occurring object' should that be the corresponding label? Or is there a more succinct label we could use?

14:00 tomas_ i meant issues jcamins :-D
13:54 jcamins Not sure.
13:54 jcamins You said items not issues.
13:54 jcamins Wait.
13:54 jcamins But oldissues and issues need to have the same structure.
13:54 jcamins I think just return date, so it should always be empty.
13:52 tomas_ maybe renewals¿
13:52 tomas_ does anyone know what is "returndate" used fr in the items table? (i'd understand for old_issues)
13:47 druthb That'd work!
13:47 oleonard Oh, maybe a Lego?

13:24 magnuse bottom line: MARC sucks because it's all just text (as in fiction) - no useful identifiers, no useful relationships
13:23 jcamins Which, depending on your way of looking at things, was started in 1902 or 1977.
13:22 * druthb shakes her head.
13:22 druthb But of course.
13:22 jcamins The reason they're different is because NACO and SACO are different.
13:22 druthb oh?
13:21 jcamins Oh, BTW, the difference between groups 2 and 3 was explained to me over the weekend.
13:21 jcamins I disagree. Every cataloger for themself is not the problem. The problem is lack of relationship representation, and no amount of centralization is going to address the underlying issue, FRBR notwithstanding.
13:20 druthb All that RDA really does is give a checkbox on the Buzzword Bingo card, while preserving the really lame status quo.
13:19 druthb And OCLC is proof of how well *that* works. Bah.
13:19 druthb *IF* the FRBR framework could be more-or-less implemented—and that itself is a pretty shady proposition—then you *could* do some fairly interesting deep-linking of information that patrons might find useful for exploration. But not with our current cataloging practice of "every cataloger for themself." You'd need some kind of jumbo repository to get a whole lot of value.
13:17 drojf aaaw i like it :)
13:17 druthb Shelve books by color. Or height. Or height within color; that'd make a pretty pattern.
13:16 drojf you got a save job if you are the only person that understands the system :)
13:16 drojf back to the card catalog. with cards everyone writes as they please
13:15 * druthb shudders
13:15 oleonard Maybe we should just revert to Koha 1.0 and start over?
13:13 druthb I'm all for it, even if jcamins and I disagree somewhat on the value of FRBR. I see it as a teeny step in the right general direction—away from MARC.
13:13 jcamins First thing we do, let's kill all the MARC.
13:13 druthb +1
13:13 * drojf approves
13:12 * jcamins is all for that.
13:11 * oleonard stages a bloody coup to install jcamins as King of World Cataloging
13:10 jcamins Well, FRBR is a profoundly badly designed "framework" that is unlikely to actually work, and it's unclear how RDA is supposed to actually help.
13:09 drojf that sounds like a 'but'
13:09 jcamins Because the justification for RDA was FRBR.
13:08 oleonard Why are my catalogers always bringing up FRBR and RDA in the same breath? Is that correct?
13:08 drojf druthb! :)
13:08 druthb o/
13:08 wahanui i think drojf is from Germany and developing Koha on a raspberry pi!
13:08 druthb drojf!
13:07 drojf also, money
13:07 jcamins I suppose the RDA committee gets to look good for coming up with a new standard?
13:06 jcamins Well...
13:06 jcamins Right.
13:06 oleonard So this oncoming RDA train is going to crash into our cataloging department and cause chaos and misery with no benefit?!
13:05 jcamins No, RDA will make things worse.
13:05 oleonard So uh... What is the point?
13:04 druthb only in science fiction, oleonard.
13:03 oleonard Is there some ideal future in which RDA records enable computerized systems to work better because the data is more computer-friendly?
13:02 jcamins The latter.
13:01 oleonard Or is RDA just a different way of making MARC records for all intents and purposes?
13:00 oleonard Are any of the big ILS companies modifying their systems to use RDA?
13:00 jcamins oleonard: who can blame them? They have to learn absurd new standards to produce records that will be of less use to anyone.
12:59 oleonard Boy the catalogers here are in a heckuva tizzy about RDA.
12:59 * oleonard too
12:58 * jcamins wishes he were in Europe.
12:56 jcamins If I were in Europe I'd be on vacation.
12:53 sophie_m and me :-)
12:47 magnuse and me
12:41 tcohen hmm
12:40 drojf everyone but me :/
12:40 tcohen e
12:40 tcohen i just thought every1 was on vacation in europ
12:39 drojf not really, why?
12:39 tcohen vacation drojf?
12:39 drojf hi tcohen
12:30 tcohen morning #koha
12:21 Joubu oleonard: Hi! Yes, it is what I understood. But is not it more interesting to move the 2 js files and change the paths in tt file on a different bug?
12:18 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10649 normal, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, Signed Off , Upgrade DataTables and move scripts out of theme directory
12:18 oleonard Joubu: Regarding Bug 10649, my intention isn't to duplicate files in the long term, just during the transition period while I submit patches updating all the affected pages
12:10 drojf hi oleonard
12:10 oleonard Hey #koha
11:43 magnuse stay tuned...
11:43 magnuse lol
11:41 drojf or should we start with marc2rda? :D
11:40 drojf ;)
11:40 drojf are we there yet?
11:40 drojf have you and rangi fixed marc2rdf?
11:40 magnuse :-)
11:39 drojf heiagain magnuse :D
11:38 magnuse moinagain drojf
11:35 drojf hello again ;)
11:15 jcamins Hehe. Yes it is.
11:14 magnuse wow, strong contender for the prize of "ugliest URL"
11:05 magnuse the cheese was http://www.himmelspannet.no/scripts/himmelspannet.web/nwCatalog-dev.p?IdNoGrpSite=516992&IdNoPrj=9900361&IdNoCmp=1003338&selSiteLng=47&selSiteCur=NOK&initList=MIT1|517002|MIT2|517011|IdTbl||IdNoTbl|0|IdNoDoc||initListCC|bEnadjejchobvlfU - very nice, but a little too ripe
11:05 magnuse (don't be fooled by the "smørgåsbord" you will get at hotels etc :-)
11:04 magnuse typical norwegian lunch
11:04 magnuse one with pickled herring and one with cheese
11:04 magnuse two pieces of bread
11:03 magnuse same old
11:02 jcamins What was lunch?
11:02 jcamins Yay!
11:01 * magnuse found lunch and devoured it
10:27 * magnuse needs lunch
10:24 magnuse not sure it's a good idea, but the goal is to hardcode as little as possible
10:24 magnuse yup
10:23 jcamins So you're storing TT in the triplestore?
10:22 magnuse which in turn evals any number of other templates, also from the triplestore
10:22 magnuse it evals a template that is fetched from the triplestore
10:21 jcamins Yeah, but I see you added a template and I can't figure out what it displays.
10:21 magnuse ad the idea is to make it very configurable, so there will be little to see out of the box
10:20 magnuse jcamins: nope, not yet
10:19 jcamins magnuse: do you have any screenshots of your work?
10:17 * rangi heads to sleep
10:15 magnuse https://github.com/edchamberlain/COMET/tree/master/conversion looks interesting
10:15 jcamins Actually, I should make an RDF ingester. I think Titan can actually load RDF directly, which would be very convenient.
10:10 rangi thanks jcamins
10:10 rangi sweet i can live with that
10:10 jcamins http://data.lib.cam.ac.uk/code.php
10:10 jcamins And each record takes about 0.015 seconds with it.
10:09 jcamins There's also a Perl-only script from Cambridge.
10:08 drojf later
10:08 rangi https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager <-- tried that?
10:08 rangi who has an android phone?
10:07 rangi cool jcamins id be interested to take a look
10:06 jcamins rangi: I think there's a MARC2RDF stylesheet from someone on Code4lib, actually.
10:06 magnuse hehe
10:06 rangi lunch projects are usually the best features
10:06 rangi yeah
10:01 magnuse or next week - it's a "lunch project"
09:59 rangi sweet :)
09:58 magnuse then i'll submit it as an "experimental feature" and see what heppens ;-)
09:58 magnuse i hope to have something useful this week
09:57 magnuse https://github.com/MagnusEnger/kohawork/commits/linkeddata
09:57 rangi ah awesome
09:55 magnuse just a way to query a triplestore and show the results in the opac
09:55 magnuse last week i worked on an absolutely minimal poc semantikoha
09:54 rangi its always good to read what others have done
09:54 rangi its a start
09:54 rangi :)
09:46 magnuse gah, i used RDF::Redland, which seems not to have been updated since 2006
09:45 magnuse rangi: i started an attempt at re-doing marc2rdf in perl a while back: https://github.com/MagnusEnger/marc2rdf it might be more confusing than helpful, though...
09:39 * magnuse sends rangi some time
09:39 magnuse hehe
09:39 rangi now i just need time
09:39 rangi cool, i have lots of ideas
09:38 rangi xslt annoys me
09:38 rangi or json like that
09:38 rangi tbh, id prefer a yaml mapping
09:37 magnuse ah
09:37 rangi that will be why they went that route
09:36 rangi then you can use xslt to get it to rdf
09:36 rangi so if you can get marc 2 mods
09:36 rangi https://code.google.com/p/code4rda/source/browse/trunk/dataconversion/trans/lib/mods2rdf.xslt?r=19
09:36 magnuse example mapping: https://github.com/digibib/marc2rdf/blob/master/config/templates/mappings.json
09:35 rangi yeah
09:35 magnuse i know the mapping/config is stored in yaml
09:35 magnuse it's been a while since i looked at the internals of marc2rdf
09:34 magnuse it would be super-cool if a prl implementation could use the same config files as marc2rdf for the mapping, then we could at least collaborate with them on the mapping-work
09:34 rangi and marc2rdf does marc to yaml to rdf
09:33 rangi seems to do marc2mods2rdf
09:33 magnuse App::perlrdf looked interesting
09:33 rangi so the spanish one
09:32 magnuse i actually looked around a bit for relevant perl modules the other day
09:32 rangi so basically
09:32 magnuse there seem to be sevarl things that build on RDF::Trine
09:31 rangi yeah
09:31 magnuse i don't think that page has been updated for a while
09:31 magnuse there are
09:31 rangi http://www.perlrdf.org/
09:30 rangi theres gotta be a bunch of rdf modules for perl
09:30 rangi the main library
09:29 rangi and rdfmodeler.rb
09:29 rangi seems to be the main control
09:29 rangi https://github.com/digibib/marc2rdf/blob/master/marc2rdf.rb
09:29 rangi thats what im hoping
09:28 magnuse it's based on a config file, so it's just a matter of walking through the config and the record and doing the right steps
09:28 magnuse the central part of the transformation process should not be too hard to port
09:28 magnuse yeah, that makes sense, i think
09:27 magnuse yeah, for some data cleaning
09:27 rangi and ill skip all the web frontend stuffs
09:27 wahanui i think marc::record is http://search.cpan.org/~gmcharlt/MARC-Record-2.0.3/lib/MARC/Record.pm
09:27 rangi and marc::record
09:27 rangi marc2rdf uses some perl already
09:27 magnuse ooh, hadn't seen marimba
09:26 * magnuse shivers
09:26 rangi but thats java
09:26 * magnuse would be glad to help
09:26 rangi there's also this
09:25 rangi http://www.oeg-upm.net/index.php/en/technologies/228-marimba
09:25 magnuse that would be awesome!
09:25 drojf yay
09:25 rangi yep im thinking i might have to port it to perl
09:25 magnuse (which is written in ruby and which i am having some trouble getting to run at the moment...)
09:24 magnuse and especially this tool: https://github.com/digibib/marc2rdf
09:24 rangi *nod*
09:24 magnuse it's based on a lot of effort put into this at the Oslo Public Library
09:24 magnuse that is true!
09:23 rangi then smart people can ingest it and use it
09:23 magnuse my preferred workflow is described here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Linked_Data_RFC#First_steps
09:23 rangi but if we allow for anyone to be able to get rdf out of a koha library
09:23 magnuse hehe :-)
09:23 rangi havent got that far yet
09:23 magnuse what are you going to do with the rdf?
09:22 rangi ie, a nice restful api to hand out any given biblio as rdf
09:22 rangi /svc/rdf/biblionumber
09:22 rangi but more useful, would be able to do
09:22 rangi i think that would be useful
09:21 magnuse s/have/have a/
09:21 magnuse another question is how useful it is to have "save as rdf" option...
09:20 rangi magnuse: yeah
09:20 rangi basically i want to be able to make use of this when its ready
09:20 rangi http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/lod/
09:20 magnuse the big question is how you do the transformation
09:19 rangi cool
09:19 magnuse yup!
09:19 rangi that would be pretty sweet
09:19 rangi [% marcxml | marc2rdf %]
09:18 rangi (actually id probably do it with a tt plugin)
09:18 magnuse yeah, i don't think that should be a problem
09:18 rangi could it convert it fast enough to render in reasonable time for a user?
09:18 rangi like if i made an opac-rdf.pl page, gave it a marcxml blob
09:18 magnuse depends on what you mean by fly, of course, but it shouldn't be a big problem
09:17 rangi ?
09:17 rangi magnuse: how feasible is it to convert marc2rdf on the fly
09:16 drojf ;)
09:14 magnuse yeah, let's do it while everyone at biblibre is on holiday :-)
09:14 drojf well, marc support in general, but unimarc is a start :D
09:14 magnuse hehe
09:14 drojf i think we should drop unimarc support :P
09:13 drojf lol
09:13 rangi probably 150 unimarc ones by then
09:13 rangi but yeah there will always be some waiting
09:13 rangi i think i did 9
09:12 rangi yep
09:12 magnuse will there be anything for potential new squashers at kohacon13?
09:12 drojf i accidentally did 1/4 of the signoffs and i did not have time to take part really :D
09:12 rangi i did what i could
09:11 rangi heh
09:11 magnuse yup
09:11 drojf i just wanted to say, it would be cool if more than ~3 people attend next time ;)
09:11 magnuse but we do need to get more people squashing bugs
09:10 drojf :)
09:10 wahanui i think next gbsd is http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/2013-08-23_Global_bug_squashing_day
09:10 magnuse next gbsd?
09:10 magnuse good thing next gbsd is in less than 2 weeks
09:10 * magnuse agrees :-)
09:07 drojf 149 bugs need signoff again? you people work too much
08:59 magnuse MARC::Doc::Tutorial++
08:59 drojf hi rangi
08:59 magnuse kia ora rangi
08:58 rangi hi magnuse and drojf
08:53 drojf and #koha
08:53 drojf hei magnuse
08:53 magnuse moin drojf
08:26 magnuse gah, he's so quick...
08:26 magnuse enjoy your movie dcook
08:26 dcook Take care!
08:26 dcook Great talking as always :)
08:26 dcook But, I should be running
08:26 dcook Not sure
08:26 dcook I imagine that prices might scare people though :/
08:25 dcook I would love to have a Kohacon in Norway!
08:25 dcook hehe
08:25 magnuse but i guess we could always just tell people not to buy bottled water in shops...
08:24 magnuse i hope we can have kohacon in norway one day, but i'm afraid prices will scare people from coming
08:23 magnuse yeah, depends on what you measure, i guess
08:20 * dcook shrugs
08:20 dcook And that Vancouver is the most expensive city in Canada, if not North America
08:19 dcook This website says Sydney is 17th most expensive, but I've read other articles that say it's the 5th
08:19 dcook These stats are also relative
08:19 magnuse :-)
08:19 dcook I'm going to the cinema tonight, but fortunately it's cheap night, so it'll be about 12 dollars instead of the usual 17-20
08:19 dcook I remember thinking how Canadian alcohol was expensive (in comparison to American alcohol), but it is cheaper than Australian alcohol (which is cheaper than Norwegian alcohol)
08:18 dcook It's funny how relative costs are
08:18 dcook They do here as well, although I suspect not as many
08:18 magnuse we have lots of taxes on alcohol
08:17 dcook With the exception of the beer, perhaps
08:17 dcook Hmm, these prices aren't dissimilar to Sydney
08:14 magnuse see also http://www.garfors.com/2013/06/the-most-expensive-city-in-world.html for some corrections to the numbers
08:14 magnuse yeah http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/expat-money/10130878/Now-Oslo-is-the-worlds-most-expensive-place-to-live.html
08:10 dcook Alas, I'm not sure how affordable that option might be though.
08:10 dcook I like this idea!
08:10 dcook hehe
08:09 magnuse ah, you can make it a quest then, 1 month in norway to locate your roots :-)
08:07 dcook Alas, I do not :(. I only have 2 living relatives left on that side, and I'm not sure that even they would know :/
08:06 magnuse cool, do you know whereabouts?
08:05 dcook maternal*
08:05 dcook My materal great great grandparents were from Norway
08:04 * dcook does some calculations
08:04 dcook I don't know when I'll get a chance to visit Norway, but it's been on the list of places to visit for the past 10 years
08:04 dcook magnuse: ah, cool! Thanks!
08:04 dcook I suppose that knowledge is only valuable insofar as understanding how silly the concepts of main/added entries are in online cataloguing
08:03 dcook Whoa, I think I just levelled up my knowledge of added entries...
07:58 magnuse dcook: http://www.lofoten.info/en
07:58 magnuse MARC is silly...
07:57 dcook (This whole "main entry", "added entry", "tracing paragraph" stuff is silly...)
07:57 dcook AACR2--
07:57 dcook MARC--
07:56 dcook Growing up in the Canadian prairies, I feel offended if anyone insults them but people from there ;)
07:56 dcook I know the feeling
07:55 dcook hehe
07:55 magnuse (i grew up in the south, so i'm allowed to dis them :-)
07:55 dcook hehe
07:53 magnuse and these guys: http://flynonstop.no/ are just about to start a direct route from London to Bodø, so you could skip sothern norway completely ;-)
07:52 magnuse it is! :-)
07:52 dcook I'll have to remember that. Midnight sun sounds quite astonishing :)
07:51 magnuse the Lofoten islands, for example
07:51 magnuse to see the midnight sun and the spectacular scenery
07:51 magnuse and i would of cours erecommend going to northern norway
07:47 magnuse :-)
07:47 dcook That's winter here, so perfect timing ;)
07:47 dcook Cool. Good to know :)
07:45 magnuse so june or july, really
07:45 magnuse august is probably the busiest month, because a lot of europe goes on holiday then
07:45 magnuse so june, july, august
07:45 magnuse oh, our summer, i mean
07:44 magnuse unless you enjoy snow and cold and darkness
07:44 magnuse dcook: summer
07:29 dcook magnuse: What's the best time to visit Norway, would you say?
07:24 magnuse hehe, probably :-)
07:24 magnuse july is the big summer holiday month in norway, not august
07:24 sophie_m ah, I was also on holidays, that's why I didn't saw it ;-)
07:23 magnuse sophie_m: oh, i had 3 weeks in july
07:22 sophie_m hello magnuse, no holidays for you ?
07:22 magnuse bonjour sophie_m
07:10 sophie_m hello #koha
07:10 magnuse bookshops and such usually open around 10am
07:10 magnuse some foodstores have started opening at 7am
07:09 magnuse 8am if you work in an office
07:07 christophe_c :)
07:05 dcook I'll have to remember that when I visit ;)
07:04 christophe_c yes for us around 9am
07:03 magnuse 8am in norway, 9am in france i think
06:58 dcook Wait a minute...does the work day start at 8am in Norway and France?
06:57 magnuse hehe
06:55 dcook I went back to Canada this time last year, so this will be my first Australian spring...
06:55 dcook It's been pretty nice recently. I think winter is coming to an end soon.
06:55 dcook " 12.0°C" that's not very warm ;)
06:55 magnuse "Humidity: 20%" that's not very humid...
06:54 christophe_c bonjour magnuse ;-)
06:54 huginn dcook: The current temperature in Sydney, New South Wales is 22.0°C (4:30 PM EST on August 13, 2013). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 20%. Dew Point: -2.0°C. Pressure: 29.89 in 1012 hPa (Steady).

06:53 dcook salut alex_a aussi
06:53 christophe_c salut dcook ;-)
06:53 dcook salut christophe_c
06:53 christophe_c hello #koha
06:48 dcook I think I'm going about 2 cupcakes per hour at the moment...;)
06:48 * dcook continues eating chocolate cupcakes
06:48 * cait waves and runs off to breakfast
06:43 * magnuse waves again
06:20 magnuse hiya dcook laurence cait
06:19 laurence hi dcook, magnuse cait
06:18 * magnuse waves
06:18 dcook salut laurence aussi!
06:18 dcook Well in that case, glad to see you ^_^
06:18 cait she is
06:18 dcook Shouldn't cait be on vacation? :o
06:18 dcook Wait a minute...
06:17 dcook hey ya magnuse and cait :)
06:17 * cait waves
03:43 * dcook is glad that there's no one in his office who can see him eating dessert first
03:43 dcook Hmm, 50% of the cupcake supply has been diminished...
03:41 dcook night jcamins
03:41 dcook \o/
03:41 * jcamins goes to sleep now that he's ending on a high note.
03:40 jcamins Now, at some point I need to make it look good, rather than just giving a 500: Permission denied error (especially since it shouldn't be a 500...) but I think the fact that it took me twenty minutes to add BrowserID authentication is still pretty cool.
03:39 rangi yup
03:37 * jcamins just added Persona authentication to Biblionarrator.
03:37 jcamins Persona/BrowserID may be the easiest thing ever.
03:36 jcamins Wow.
03:16 rangi ruby always have to be difficult
03:15 jcamins I remember seeing it and thinking it looked very cool, though.
03:15 rangi yep
03:15 jcamins Looks like it requires a very particular version of Ruby and Python.
03:15 jcamins rangi: I think there was a reason I'd decided I didn't like that. Possibly that I couldn't get it to run because I tried to use it on a server that had other things.
03:14 wizzyrea if it works it works
03:14 wizzyrea ruby... but, meh.
03:14 * dcook eats more chocolate cupcakes
03:14 rangi i might run it up for a test
03:13 wizzyrea very shiny
03:11 rangi potentially interesting
03:11 rangi http://gitlab.org/
02:58 dcook I really thought it was an Inner West thing here in Sydney for a while. Who knew?
