As an aside, biblioitems stores bib-level data, not item-level data. 14:39 equinoxe Thanks - sorry I meant items.. 14:39 equinoxe I think I have found the cause - many thanks 15:49 * cait waves 15:54 cait1 @wunder Konstanz 15:54 huginn` cait1: The current temperature in Bodensee, Lake Constance Germany, Daisendorf, Germany is 5.4°C (4:54 PM CET on February 16, 2014).

I have learned that if someone tells me they are allergic to "sulfites," I should ask for clarification about that, because they might not realize that geeks like me will look up what compounds are in every single type of food and then assume everything with any sulfite is dangerous. 21:56 wizzyrea lol. 21:56 jcamins I thought I should share this, so that you know to ask for clarification next time someone tells you they're allergic to something like "sulfites." 21:56 wizzyrea So I take it that meant that wine was out, but cream of tartare was ok? 21:56 jcamins She eats potatoes and strawberries, both of which have sulfites. 21:57 jcamins Cream of tartar probably would've have been okay, but basically any fruit other than apples or bananas would've been fine. 21:57 wizzyrea that is a good tip 21:57 jcamins *wouldn't 21:57 jcamins Because it's not sulfites *per se* it's the industrial formulations that are in common use that she's allergic to. 21:57 wizzyrea I express my deepest empathy to people who have that level allergy. 21:58 jcamins Though blueberries turned out to be a good choice. 21:59 * wizzyrea just read a report from 1997 that says "software library systems are not yet common or mature" 21:59 wizzyrea how far we've come. 21:59 jcamins lol 22:05 eythian I'm pretty sure they weren't uncommon in '97... 22:06 wizzyrea i know my city and school libraries both had them, even back into the 80's, and that's kansas. 22:07 jcamins I remember using the card catalog. 22:07 wizzyrea well the city library probably didn't have one until the early 90's 22:07 jcamins But I was probably about 3. 22:07 jcamins FWIW 22:07 wizzyrea but the school did because I remember the magic laser wand. 22:08 jcamins Were lucky students selected to wand books each library session? I feel like I've heard people reminiscing about how they got to be library helper in grade school. 22:17 eythian I did that in ... intermediate school (I think everyone did it on a bit of a rotation). I think it was manual though. I remember stamps and cards in the back. 22:29 wizzyrea you could be a library aide and get to do circ :) 22:37 eythian It wasn't a big school 22:37 wizzyrea neither was mine. 22:37 wizzyrea maybe 200 students grates k-8? 22:39 eythian This was bigger than that, 200 for form 1 and 2. 22:39 jcamins Pfft. You want small? Try three students grades 4-12! :P 22:39 eythian WEll, the same, but over fewer years :) 22:39 eythian Yeah, I had a friend who went to one of those, then they closed and joined the school I was at. 22:40 jcamins Heh. My brothers went to hs.
