hi shedges, I didn't see you come in |
| 15:44 |
|
shedges |
hey, owen, I just got chatzilla up on the mac, thought I'd lurk while I'm working. |
| 15:45 |

It's been very quiet around here lately. Might get some traffic later when NZ wakes up |
| 15:52 |
|
shedges |
any news on the Kurzweil reader? |
| 15:53 |
|
owen |
Not yet. I still have to get in touch with the holder. |
| 15:54 |

The WebFeat OneSearch is up again, but I'm concerned about the load-time. |
| 15:54 |
|
owen |
You have to add their javascript to your site and download the onesearch form remotely. You can't just integrate their form manually into your site. |
| 15:55 |
|
shedges |
I'm going to do a session on OneSearch at the in-service. |
| 15:55 |
|
owen |
Here's my demo: http://66.213.78.70/tempo/onesearch.html. See how quickly it loads for you. |
| 15:57 |

I caught Don Yarmon's sesion at OPLIN Stakeholders on Friday and have his handouts |
| 15:57 |
|
shedges |
That linked loaded very quickly. |
| 15:57 |
|
owen |
I'm not sure why it's required that we use their javascript-generated form. It seems like you should be able to just copy the HTML. But Don Yarman said it was required. That will prevent us from being able to do a single form to search either Koha or OneSearch. |
| 15:58 |
|
shedges |
right. and they still have some problems with the extra databases librariwes pay for |
| 15:58 |
|
owen |
(a single form-field, that is) |
| 15:59 |
|
shedges |
hmm, they seem to be having problems with this on the oplin site today. |
| 15:59 |
|
shedges |
basically, OneSearch should still be considered a beta. |
| 16:03 |

This caught my eye today, but I haven't had a chance to read it: http://www.aallnet.org/product[…]ofDevelopment.pdf |

"Bringing Amazon.com to the OPAC" |
| 16:07 |
|
shedges |
thanks for that, I printed it so my old eyes can read it |
| 16:08 |
|
shedges |
btw, NoveList now offers the ability to link to a library catalog. I'll fax the info |
| 16:27 |
|
shedges |
lose your connection? |
| 16:37 |
|
owen |
Had to restart Firefox. |
| 16:38 |
|
owen |
Knock on wood, my connection's been fairly stable in the last week. |
| 16:46 |

| 17:41 |
|
rach |
the previous owners had covered over it with plywood, out of sight out of mind |
| 17:41 |
|
shedges |
no duct tape? |
| 17:42 |
|
rach |
no they were keen on dexion - that sort of giant mechano metal shelving stuff |
| 17:42 |
|
rach |
that was holding up the north wall when we bought it |
| 17:42 |
|
rach |
we had to get it repiled before we could/would move in |
| 17:42 |
|
rach |
but they missed this corner |
| 17:49 |
|
si |

It's been a long time since I've used minicom. Those were fun days. |
