13:11 braedon|home1 for 1 am, indeed. rather hot for sleeping unfortunatly
13:11 magnus we have had about 50cm of fresh snow in the last 3-4 days...
13:12 braedon|home1 haha, if it was snowing here, now that would be interesting :P
13:12 jwagner And we're finally getting some spring-like temperatures.  Right in the middle :-)
13:13 magnus at least the sun is shining right now - it's rather pretty with the sea and the mountains and the pristine snow...
13:13 * braedon|home1 must get back to transcribing the doom song (which is fun when all the words are "doom") - don't ask
13:14 * magnus is very tempted to ask, but will refrain...
13:15 * jwagner wonders if that's anything like the song Terry Pratchett's dwarfs are so fond of. "Gold Gold Gold Gold..."
13:16 braedon|home1 jwagner: quite possibly. try watching invader zim some time - it is in the first episode

14:19 * owen corrects himself: wondering now why the Zotero plugin on addons.mozilla.org isn't the latest one
14:21 * jdavidb is wandering around in a fog of flaky code and unanswered pings today.
14:22 gmcharlt owen: dunno, but I think the Zotero folks are pretty responsive to such questions
14:23 owen They have a comment on addons.mozilla.org about the latest version being on their site. It must be a mozilla.org delay

15:02 jwagner chris, couldn't resist what?  Did I miss something?
15:02 owen His response to you on the Koha list
15:03 jwagner Ah.  Don't always keep up with the email.  Yes, I could do a patch for it.  I just keep hoping SOMEONE who knows how will actually fix it instead :-)
15:04 jwagner I keep getting plaintive questions from my sites about wanting to schedule reports, and I don't know how to go about fixing the scheduler myself.
15:04 chris suexec and at

15:05 jwagner I keep repeating the mantra "I Are Not A Real Programmer"
15:05 chris each koha instance should be running as a seperate user anyway, there is no need to run them all as www-data
15:07 chris maybe when i finish more_time.pl ill fix it :)
15:07 jwagner chris, I thought you were working on clone_me.pl?
15:08 chris yeah that ones too hard
15:08 chris im just gonna bend the laws of physics instead
15:08 paul_p hello world
15:09 braedon|home1 cloning doesn't require any law breaking or bending

16:36 jwagner A whole bunch of our features.  Most are on bugzilla, this fleshes out the user instructions.

18:29 jwagner Disturbing isn't the issue.  But immediate responses can be rare.

18:31 CGI952 is there any recommendation for hardware to install koha on a production server?

18:37 rhcl CGI: do you want some specific recommendations, or general guidelines for hardware?
18:38 CGI952 rhcl a library want me to install koha on there server and they want some RAID configureation too
18:38 CGI952 kyle advised that RAID will slow down the server
18:39 CGI952 so i want to tell them the recommended hardware specs if any
18:39 brendan RAID is always best if that is done at a hardware level and not a software level --> just my 2 cents
18:39 CGI952 prefferably from koha site
18:40 CGI952 ok brendan

19:35 schuster on my test system though it left the item on the persons record - and says "on hold" in the renew section without renewing it.

21:43 ricardo Someone asked me this: does Koha have any way of creating a "Bulletin"? Mainly a list of new bibliographic records to send to patron (maybe there's some Custom Report already made by someone?)
21:44 wizzyrea_ um, you can do a search I think and get an RSS feed of it
21:44 wizzyrea_ maybe I'm not understanding what you're asking
21:46 ricardo wizzyrea_: No, that could be one way around it, yes...I think what would be nice would be a way to do searches ordered by "biblionumber" and then doing some "offset" (create 1st report with records from biblionumber =1 to biblionumber = 100... then the 2nd report would have records from biblionumber = 101 to biblionumber =200 ... or other < 200)
21:47 ricardo Am I being clear as mud?  ;-)

21:50 ricardo More simply: is there a way of sorting search results by "biblionumber"? It seems to me that you have to create a Report for that, and I can't find an easy way to create "cut-off" points

23:20 ebegin I'm looking for a way to make a reserved document as Waiting...  How can we do that?
23:23 ebegin Let's say a user request a document that is on the library Shelves.  A staff member goes get it and place it on the Waiting shelves for being picked up by the user...  How does that staff tells Koha that the item is now waiting for picked up?
