22:33 dcook     It's weird but if they help support local business in my suburb, I'm totally for it
22:33 dcook     And some weird businesses around here that seem to only open for pre-booked tourist groups...
22:32 dcook     time*
22:32 dcook     Partially due to there being more and more Airbnbs all the tim
22:32 dcook     In fact, I think they make up a significant number of people I see in any given day
22:32 dcook     Oh, I don't mind tourists here in Australia
22:31 wizzycray in fact, unless they are doing something egregiously antisocial, I don't mind tourists at all.
22:31 * dcook   has seen Flight of the Conchords
22:30 dcook     :P
22:30 wizzycray I don't think I have an opinion about australian tourists.
22:30 dcook     Seeing as we were on a monastery on a stone pillar overlooking a very far fall, I'm glad that he was in agreement with us...
22:30 dcook     "I'm from Australia... and you're absolutely right. We are the worst."
22:30 dcook     Actually met a guy in Greece once who lived down the street from us in Australia. Massive man... when he overheard us saying Australians were obnoxious travellers he loomd ovr us and said
22:29 dcook     Trying to remember which tourists have bad reputations... I think Aussies are mixed. Well known for being friendly but also complaining about everything.
22:28 dcook     There is something so happy and energetic about German tourists
22:28 dcook     But they were very nice to talk to, so I'd probably people again
22:28 dcook     And as it turned out, they actually asked after they'd alrady hung up half their washing :p
22:27 dcook     I had thought about telling them to find their own carpark, but figured they weren't hurting anything/anyone
22:27 wizzycray so some people were hanging around, looking at cars, and asked before hanging their washing on your line. A+, would people again.
22:24 dcook     As it turns out, our neighbours have turned their apartment into an AirBnB (which I learned after the Germans asked to hang some washing on our line)
22:24 dcook     They had to either work nearby or know someone who lives nearby...
22:23 dcook     But how did they know about the carpark? It's a fairly hidden carpark in a residential area.
22:23 dcook     Judging from the different plates on the vehicles and that they appeared to be tourists, I figured they were shopping around for a SUV to take them around Straya
22:23 dcook     A couple, who sounded like they were probably German, were looking at white SUVs in the middle of our carpark
22:22 dcook     Well, I wasn't entirely sure they were Germans at first
22:22 dcook     I had a mystery this weekend involving some Germans..
22:21 huginn    eythian: The operation succeeded.
22:21 eythian   @later tell LibraryClaire http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FutilityCloset/~3/VxbWZdPQlg8/ solace if you need it!
22:21 dcook     I think the best I've managed away from Koha is updating Wikipedia >_>
22:21 dcook     Alas, I don't have enough Stackoverflow "stuff" to comment on anything
22:21 huginn    eythian: The operation succeeded.
22:21 eythian   @later tell cait http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FutilityCloset/~3/VxbWZdPQlg8/ hah!
22:20 aleisha   i have also felt those feels
22:20 dcook     hehe those feels too
22:20 wizzycray https://xkcd.com/979/
22:20 wizzycray well kinda
22:19 wizzycray I'm feeling quite sure there's an xkcd on that
22:19 dcook     That would definitely be the worst
22:18 dcook     hehe
22:17 eythian   With no answer.
22:17 eythian   dcook: heh, the worst is when you're trying to solve a problem and find an email from yourself several years previous asking the same question.
22:16 dcook     eythian: I once wondered how someone found a particular Zebra solution... and then realized they were quoting an email I'd sent out a year earlier >_>
22:01 * magnuse wishes the nz'ers a fine day and falls asleep
21:44 eythian   :)
21:42 wizzycray at least weekly.
21:42 wizzycray eythian, it's pretty much a weekly occurrence that advice you gave in the past is relevant.
21:41 eythian   Well, DaveB found my advice from three years ago. Good to know it's still relevant.
19:55 rangi     morning
15:26 DaveB     it worked, thanks to the zebra tip
15:14 DaveB     Sooo, I'm looking at this https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2013-December/038293.html, would it break anything if I used the solution in the message?
14:55 DaveB     that doesn't look good

14:53 wahanui   faq is found at http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/
14:53 eythian   wahanui: faq
14:53 eythian   I _think_ it's covered in the FAQ
14:53 eythian   (for search problems, check zebra.)
14:53 eythian   DaveB: Sunday afternoon is a very quiet time here, but if you ask and provide detail, and hang around a while someone may pop up.
14:52 DaveB     I've added over 100 books, but when I search the catalog in the staff interface or the OPC interface no books come up
14:51 DaveB     I'm having a problem with my catalog and was hoping someone here might know what I'm missing.
14:50 DaveB     Hi all
