00:15 jcamins_away I need a report that will give me a list of all records that *don't* have anything in the 751$a?
00:16 jcamins_away Whoops. Missed the rest of that sentence.
00:16 jcamins_away s/\?/ does anyone happen to know how to do that off the top of their head?
00:17 nengard jcamins_away this might be a help: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_without_subjects
00:17 eythian you could use the extractxml thing, and check to see if it IS NULL (or maybe empty string)
00:17 eythian or use a reference :)
00:17 nengard it's not what you want, but it's a report looking for empty subjects
00:18 jcamins_away nengard: thanks.
00:18 jcamins_away I knew someone had done it.
00:18 nengard no prob
00:18 nengard :)

02:06 libsysguy i deleted on accident
02:06 libsysguy and when i try and apply my submitted patch
02:06 libsysguy i get a conflict and it fails
02:07 jcamins Create a new branch, and apply the patch from scratch?
02:07 libsysguy i can attempt that...one sec
02:07 NateC left #koha
02:09 libsysguy i still get a conflict
02:10 libsysguy it happens with the updatedatabase.pl script
02:10 jcamins And you can't resolve it?
02:10 jcamins Oh, of course.
02:10 libsysguy is there something im missing?
02:10 jcamins Yes. You will *always* have a conflict in the updatedatabase.pl script.
02:10 libsysguy *smh*
02:11 jcamins You have to resolve it every time you rebase.
02:11 libsysguy aww man
02:11 libsysguy ok so...to resolve it...i don't see a .mine or HEAD
02:11 libsysguy so its not a content conflict
02:11 rangi git status
02:11 rangi check that it has conflict
02:11 rangi then edit the fille
02:12 rangi look for a line with
02:12 rangi <<<<<<<
02:12 libsysguy it doesn't look like its in conflict...i've got several untracked files
02:13 huginn` New commit(s) kohagit: Bug 5737: Modified the merge subroutine in AuthoritiesMarc.pm so it won't destroy... <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]9763737065635e68a>
02:14 libsysguy and there is no <<<<<< section in the update file
02:14 rangi oh, so its not a conflict then, just hte patch is not applying?
02:14 rangi whats the exact message you get when you apply it?
02:14 libsysguy error: patch failed: installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl:4354
02:14 libsysguy error: installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl: patch does not apply
02:15 libsysguy and some trailing whitespace warnings
02:15 rangi yeah, thats not a conflict, the patch is busted
02:15 libsysguy :'(
02:15 libsysguy my patch is busted
02:15 libsysguy so...is there anything i can do or am i totally done for?
02:15 rangi usually that happens when you formatted it against a commit that doesnt exist in the branch you are trying to apply it to
02:15 rangi is it attached to the bug?
02:15 libsysguy yes
02:16 rangi 2 secs ill look
02:16 libsysguy thanks rangi
02:16 rangi first one, or second patch on that bug?
02:16 libsysguy both actaully
02:17 libsysguy first then second...sekjal told me the wrong way to do it instead of just amending it
02:17 libsysguy :'(
02:17 rangi will give it a try
02:17 libsysguy ok thanks
02:19 rangi first patch applies, gives me a conflict

03:47 new joined #koha
03:49 new hello all
03:49 new i wouldlike to ask regarding koha 3.02.00
03:50 new i've completed the installation
03:50 new and it all went well
03:50 new i import data using Z39.50 and the data inputted into reservoir
03:51 new but i canno search the record inputted
03:51 rangi 3.2.0 ? why did you choose that? its quite old
03:51 rangi 3.4.3 is the latest release .. 3.2.10 was the last release of the 3.2.x line
03:51 new my library just migrated the old v2 koha into 3.2
03:52 new is 3.2.10 does no have this problem anymore?
03:52 rangi well there has been 10 bug fix releases since 3.2.0 .. and then 3.4.0, 3.4.1, 3.4.6 3.4.3 so its a about 9 months and lots of bug fixes behind current
03:53 rangi but what you are describing is not a bug
03:53 rangi the reserviour is not the catalogue
03:53 rangi you have to add the record into the catalogue, you did that?
03:53 new i do not know how
03:53 rangi and you have zebra running? and your cron job set up to build the indexes?
03:53 new would you help me?
03:53 rangi have you read the manual?
03:53 new yup
03:54 rangi it tells you how to add a record
03:54 rangi thats all i can tell you to do, the same as the manual says
03:55 new i did read the manual but it tells about importing records in bulk
03:55 new but i did not found any if i want to input one record at a time
03:57 rangi it does
03:57 rangi ill find the page
03:57 rangi http://koha-community.org/docu[…]h=c8245#addbibrec
03:59 libsysguy I have a question about notices
03:59 new yes i did read that page
03:59 libsysguy is it true that you can only send 3 notices per overdue?
04:00 new but when i finished inputting it, when i search using opac it appears not results found
04:00 libsysguy new
04:00 libsysguy its probably not rebuilding zebra
04:00 libsysguy did you set up your cron to do that?
04:00 new yeah
04:00 libsysguy what is your rebuild rate set at?
04:01 libsysguy default is 10 mins i thing
04:01 libsysguy think*
04:01 new hold on i check
04:01 libsysguy so it would take 10 minutes for your item to show up
04:01 new lest than 3 seconds
04:01 new in fact i just want to try to add in only one new records
04:02 libsysguy well until that record is indexed it won't show up in the opac
04:02 new but the there were few fatal process, warn and etc
04:02 new would you show me how plz?
04:02 libsysguy try this: perl /path/to/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -x -v -reset
04:03 libsysguy this will reset and rebuild your entire zebra index
04:03 new ok i'll try
04:03 libsysguy ok
04:04 libsysguy btw rangi is right you should probably try using 3.4
04:05 new it appears error "Could not select database biblios errCode=109"
04:06 new i really want to try 3.4 but my bos already ask the vendor to have 3.2
04:06 libsysguy ok well that is probably the root of your issue
04:06 libsysguy did you say you upgraded?
04:06 new yeah from 2.2.9 to 3.2.0
04:06 Irma joined #koha
04:07 libsysguy did you dump your database then drop it before you upgraded?
04:07 new fyi i'm not using the older database
04:07 libsysguy ok that is what i was getting at
04:07 libsysguy lol
04:07 new the reason is i want to relearn about koha 3.2
04:08 new it seems like i want to start from scratch
04:08 libsysguy i am curious why it is looking for the biblios table
04:08 libsysguy the table name is biblio
04:08 new is it in the mysql
04:08 new ?
04:08 libsysguy yes
04:09 new i really not good at it
04:09 libsysguy if you log into mysql and do: show tables;
04:09 libsysguy you should see a table called biblio
04:09 libsysguy before you upgraded you dumped your database right?
04:09 new yeah
04:10 rangi thats a zebra error
04:10 rangi libsysguy
04:10 wahanui1 libsysguy is probably curious why it is looking for the biblios table
04:10 rangi not mysql
04:10 new oo i c
04:10 libsysguy yes i was rangi
04:10 new then what should i do to fix it?
04:10 libsysguy how did wahanui1 read my mind
04:10 rangi so the biblio/biblios thing is a red herring
04:11 rangi "Could not select database biblios errCode=109" is a zebra error
04:11 libsysguy ahh
04:11 libsysguy silly zebra
04:11 rangi well its not zebra
04:11 rangi ppl blame it, but its always actually us
04:11 libsysguy i think i'd like to continue blaming it...it seems to be easier that way lol
04:11 rangi id, talk to your vendor new, and say, is zebra indexing working
04:12 libsysguy ^^
04:12 rangi because from that error, it certainly doesnt look like it is
04:12 rangi and without that, search will never work right
04:13 new ok
04:13 new is there any way that i could learn this zebra ?
04:13 rangi yes, by lots of reading
04:13 libsysguy and magic
04:13 * rangi has to get back to work
04:13 libsysguy jk new
04:13 new lol :D
04:13 * libsysguy has to go to sleep
04:13 libsysguy its late here
04:14 new ok tq guys
04:14 new tq so much
04:14 libsysguy I'll talk to you guys later...good luck new

07:25 abdullatef Hi there
07:27 abdullatef can you help me?
07:27 abdullatef I have install the koha 3.4 on ubuntu
07:27 abdullatef ubuntu 11
07:28 abdullatef previously I have problem with the zebra
07:28 abdullatef now I believed it is solve
07:30 magnuse so what's your problem, abdullatef?

07:37 abdullatef i want to confirm about the zebra
07:37 abdullatef is it really running or not
07:38 abdullatef when i run #ps ax|grep zebra
07:38 abdullatef i got this 1120 ?    S  0:00 daemon --name=koha-zebra-ctl.koha --errlog=/var/log/koha/koha-zebradaemon.err --stdout=/var/log/koha/koha-zebradaemon.log --output=/var/log/koha/koha-zebradaemon-output.log --verbose=1 --respawn --delay=30 --user=koha.koha -- /usr/bin/zebrasrv -v none,fatal,warn -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml  1121 ?    S  0:00 /usr/bin/zebrasrv -
07:39 abdullatef is my zebra running?
07:40 magnuse yeah, that looks promising
07:41 magnuse the best thing is probably to check that it actually works, though ;-)
07:41 magnuse add a record and search for it
07:42 abdullatef ok let see
07:46 kmkale left #koha
07:48 julian left #koha
07:52 abdullatef i have imported a record and try to search
07:52 abdullatef no result
07:52 rangi you have the cron job set up
07:53 rangi because without that, zebra wont update its indexes
07:53 abdullatef how to check that?
07:54 mtj abdullatef: look in yr 'zebraqueue' table
07:54 rangi have you set up the cron job?
07:54 rangi if you havent, it wont be set up :)
07:54 mtj $ select * from zebraqueue where done = 0;
07:55 abdullatef i'll try that
07:56 abdullatef the cron job first
07:56 rangi look in misc/cronjobs/
07:56 rangi for a file crontab.example
07:56 mtj abdullatef: yes, rangi is right :)
07:56 rangi that will give you a hint how to do it
07:57 rangi make sure the user you set up to run the crontab is the same user that is running zebra
07:57 rangi which is koha (according to your paste above) :)
07:58 abdullatef i see
07:58 abdullatef i just run # sudo gedit /etc/cron.d/koha
07:59 abdullatef and i got a file with :
07:59 kmkale joined #koha
07:59 abdullatef # Environment variables used by Koha scripts KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml KOHAPATH=/usr/share/koha PERL5LIB=$KOHAPATH/lib  # The cronjobs 1 * * * *koha$KOHAPATH/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -a -b -z 2>&1 > /dev/null
07:59 rangi but formatted properly?
08:00 abdullatef not sure, i'll check the crontab.example
08:00 rangi that paste was all one line
08:00 rangi it should be multiple lines
08:00 julian joined #koha
08:00 rangi try pasting it into paste.koha-community.org
08:00 rangi and should end with one blank line
08:01 pastebot "abdullatef" at 202.184.105.26 pasted "# sudo gedit /etc/cron.d/koha" (7 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/1746
08:04 rangi right try adding a newline at the end
08:04 rangi and then it should be all good
08:04 rangi and if you still cant find anything, then do like mtj suggested
08:04 rangi and look in hte db
08:04 rangi oh
08:05 rangi i see whats wrong
08:06 rangi 1 * * * *
08:06 rangi thats only gonna run once an hour
08:06 rangi at 1 minute past the hour
08:07 rangi i would make that */5 * * * *
08:07 rangi so it runs every 5 minutes
08:08 abdullatef meaning that, the search can be run after 1 hour?
08:08 rangi try a search now actually
08:08 rangi the way you have it set up, yes, it will only reindex once an hour, at 1 min past the hour
08:09 rangi its now 20:08 nztime .. so in theory it should have run 7 mins ago
08:10 rangi so maybe your search is now working
08:12 abdullatef still no results found
08:13 abdullatef i'll change the 1****
08:13 abdullatef to */5 * * * *
08:13 rangi and make sure the file contains a new line at the end, hit return a few times, it cant hurt :)
08:15 abdullatef :)
08:15 abdullatef hit return means?
08:17 miguelxercode left #koha
08:17 rangi put some newlines at the end of the file

08:34 rangi yep, you would have to put that in the koha users crontab
08:35 rangi your one you pasted before is fine, except for the 1, and no newline at the end of the file
08:36 abdullatef is it same $KOHAPATH with $KOHA_CRON_PATH ?
08:36 rangi assuming /usr/share/koha/bin/migrat​ion_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl  exists
08:36 rangi do a ls on that
08:36 abdullatef ok
08:38 abdullatef where is this usr located?

09:04 kf playing with the test installation now, making sure all examples work :)
09:04 magnuse good idea! ;-)
09:10 kf hm
09:11 kf the zebra striping in a lot of tables seems to be broken in 3.4.3
09:11 magnuse kf: do you have an uptodate version of TT?
09:11 kf not sure
09:11 kf butI would think so
09:11 kf hm
09:12 magnuse are you missing the striping on search results?
09:12 kf yes
09:12 kf Template is 2.20
09:12 magnuse on ubuntu or debian?
09:13 kf ubuntu
09:13 kf lts version
09:14 magnuse i think i had a situation where the stripes were missing when i had the apt-get-able version of TT, and then i cpan'ed it and got the stripes back
09:14 kf ok
09:14 magnuse my production server has tt 2.22
09:14 kf I think for the presentation it will be ok

11:27 Agent_Dani Heya druthb!
11:32 druthb hi, Agent_Dani! :)
11:37 jwagner paul_p, online?
11:38 paul_p yep (back from lunch just a few minuts ago)
11:38 jwagner Couple of questions for you or anyone else (thought you might know the answers, though).  First, is there a conversion tool to go from UNIMARC to MARC21 records?  I seem to remember there is.
11:40 paul_p jwagner, there is a XSLT at loc.gov iirc
11:40 jwagner for display? Or actual conversion?
11:40 paul_p I think for actual conversion
11:40 paul_p (but i haven't tested it, so I don't guarantee !)
11:41 jwagner OK, I'll take a look there.  Second is from one of my French Canadian sites -- is there a MS Windows plugin or popup for Windows XP to let you type diacritics?  They're having problems with original cataloging
11:41 jwagner I'm told in Windows 7 there is a popup alternative keyboard for languages, but I don't know about XP
11:42 paul_p well, jwagner = french keyboards already have diacritict, plus remember, i'm an OpenSource man, so no windows here ;-)
11:43 jwagner Oh well.  Anyone else?
11:43 paul_p (my last MS-windows was windows 98. Really)
11:43 paul_p not that I know (and french keyboards have diacritics, so I don't know anyone using a tool for that)
11:44 jwagner OK, will keep looking. Thanks.

13:30 libsysguy druthb i saw where you were concerned about my poor data yesterday
13:31 druthb your poor abused data...
13:31 libsysguy i did abuse my data yesterday
13:31 libsysguy i had to delete my master branch and move it to a new one
13:32 druthb ugh
13:32 libsysguy i know...sirsi wouldn't let me just change the branch in there
13:32 libsysguy :-\
13:33 libsysguy i guess i should rephrase that...i didn't know how and neither did margo
13:33 libsysguy so i just changed in in koha
13:34 druthb yup..i frequently tell libraries *don't* do a bunch of cleanup and this and that in your current system--let me do it with mappings.
13:34 libsysguy there was some problem we were having with using a map
13:34 libsysguy but i forgot what it was
13:35 libsysguy i think it was patrons and bills
13:35 libsysguy maybe

13:59 magnuse not any big changes there either
14:00 magnuse i use the table for 3.0 as my reference

14:24 tcohen but as this patches need to be rebased for sure, and thus need to be signedoff again maybe i'll rebase  against master...

15:35 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5436 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, guillaume.hatt, ASSIGNED , Extended patron attributes display improvements
15:36 paul_p oleonard, usually, chris take care of this when applying the patch to master, because the final number depends on the order of applying patches.
15:36 paul_p For some other patches, i've added a small commit to propose a version number, but it will be chris that decide/pick the right number
15:37 paul_p this is a limit of the version numbering we have (and it's a pain, definetly, but I don't have another proposition at hand... probably something to investigate for 4.0...)
15:37 oleonard Maybe I just don't understand how atomicupdate is used? I thought one must change updatedatabase.pl but put in XX for the version number.
15:38 paul_p atomicupdate is anotherway to update the database, you just link the atomic update to the updatedatabase.pl at final merge.
15:39 paul_p it's handy to avoid git am conflicts because your updatedatabase was done after 017 and when it's tested, we are already at 024. In this case, even a XXX will result in a conflict
15:39 paul_p (as it detects it should be after 017, and see something's wrong)
15:40 paul_p I agree we should have a more formal/documented/unique way to submit DB update though !
15:41 libsysguy ^^
15:41 cait left #koha
15:42 oleonard paul_p: I'm not complaining about the process, I just wasn't aware of this option. We need better documentation of our process, but no one has offered a better suggestion for changing the procedure.
15:42 tcohen oleonard++
15:43 paul_p (this option is rarely used, that's why I specify it for chris/ian, to avoid a mistake)
15:44 paul_p tcohen, you can use this atomicupdate for your patch if you want too ! could avoid having conflicts later.
15:45 tcohen paul_p: exactly!
15:45 paul_p (but pls: also explain on the bug how to apply all patches, or squash them (git rebase -i if you don't know how to squash)
15:45 tirabo joined #koha
15:45 oleonard squashing++
15:45 tcohen i'll squash them
15:46 paul_p sometimes a follow-up is better, sometimes, it becomes a nightmare to check and squashing is better
15:46 tcohen the problem with that bug is that there are patches against master
15:46 tcohen and against the topic branch
15:46 tcohen i don't know how is that handled

19:44 druthb adjacent to the campground is a farm...all day yesterday, we watched a very serious-looking bearded man working--he had some ancient gasoline-powered implement on a wagon-like contraption, being pulled by two horses.
19:46 druthb libsysguy: my daughter and I are camping near Bird-In-Hand, PA.
19:46 druthb In the Amish country
19:46 libsysguy OHHHH!!!
19:46 libsysguy well that makes more sense than a bearded man
19:47 jcamins It's an absolutely beautiful area.
19:48 libsysguy does anybody know how to import authorities
19:48 libsysguy or is there a wiki on it
19:48 libsysguy i didn't even look
19:48 druthb it is.  When the Amish and Mennonite people settled here, they felt that God had given them the Perfect Place for their work and lifestyle--and I'm inclined to agree with them on that.  It's great land here.
19:48 cait1 libsysguy: same way you import biblios (from commandline) using -a
19:49 libsysguy ohh
19:49 * libsysguy is retarded
19:49 cait1 check the ---h for bulkmarcimport :)

19:50 * jcamins thinks about warning libsysguy about the fact that the authorities may not do what he's expecting, and then stops before he disheartens the poor fellow.
19:50 jcamins Do you want Jared's Standard Disclaimer Regarding LCSH-style Authorities in Koha (TM)?
19:50 * libsysguy wonders why jcamins is always bringing him down
19:50 libsysguy just like the man lol
19:51 libsysguy umm sure
19:51 rangi morning
19:51 jcamins libsysguy: I do it for everyone, not just you.
19:51 jcamins ;)
19:51 druthb hi rangi
19:51 libsysguy haha jcamins hi rangi
19:52 cait1 You level up! You are now a Level 3 Enchanter!
19:52 cait1 haha
19:52 jcamins libsysguy: basically, the point where you're going to run into problems is that your authorities are not going to be linked in any way to your bib records, and the link_authorities_to_biblios script doesn't work.
19:52 jati joined #koha
19:52 libsysguy how ironic
19:52 cait1 hi rangi
19:52 libsysguy well...i think our authorities are all out of date anyway
19:52 libsysguy from what i understand
19:52 miguel joined #koha
19:53 libsysguy (and i have no idea what authorities are...i just know it costs a lot of money to get them done)
19:53 jcamins So the authorities can be used to ensure that a heading has already been authorized when cataloging, but they will not really provide a usable access point into the catalog.
19:53 libsysguy gotcha
19:53 cait1 hm
19:53 libsysguy ill pass that along
19:53 cait1 you could migrate an old authorities number from your current system
19:53 jcamins At least for right now.
19:53 jcamins cait1: but that only helps if the authority numbers are embedded in the bib records.
19:54 cait1 right
19:54 * libsysguy feels like there is about to be librarian talk about to happen
19:54 cait1 and you are right about the access point
19:54 cait1 would be great if we could get that working
19:54 jcamins cait1: I agree.
19:55 cait1 would dom help that problem?
19:55 jcamins Yes.
19:55 jcamins There would also need to be a display customization, but indexing that doesn't make one weep is a good first step.
19:56 jcamins I think ByWater is working on adding authority searching in the OPAC. "Did you mean 'Smith, John, 1900-1981'?"
19:57 cait1 hm yes
19:57 * libsysguy has to run
19:57 libsysguy left #koha
19:58 cait1 what I would like to see is aphabetic registers and a way to find a title searching for one form of the name that was written under a pseudonym/other name form
19:58 jcamins Can I get xp for scaring someone off of IRC? :\
19:58 cait1 I fear not
19:58 cait1 but you helped me
19:58 jcamins Aww. Darn.
19:58 jcamins Yay!
19:58 jcamins Wait, I did?
19:59 cait1 sure

20:19 * jcamins gives up.
20:19 rangi hmm that doesnt have the meaning thats used here
20:19 rangi to plug something can be used to mean, to advertise
20:20 rangi n.
20:20 rangi a free advertisement or a commercial boost from someone for a product. (See also plugola.) :  I managed to get a plug on the Mike Michael show.
20:20 rangi tv.
20:20 rangi to give an advertisement or commercial boost for something without having to pay for it. :  I want to get on that TV program and plug my new book.

22:09 Agent_Dani jcamins: It was fairly trouble-free in my experience, far more so than a lot of other software I was dealing with in that job.
22:09 jcamins Go figure.
22:09 libsysguy well heck...its got ez right in the name

22:17 rangi ah they just want a bunch of display changes
22:17 libsysguy is that it?
22:17 rangi yep
22:17 rangi its all template changes
22:18 libsysguy cool...css and js ftw
22:18 libsysguy i just wanted to verify that is all it was
22:18 rangi well that analytics one, could be that there isnt a link .. but the rest is all display
22:19 jcamins UT Tyler doesn't use analytics, so you can just hide it.
22:19 rangi easy peasy
22:19 libsysguy sweet
22:19 libsysguy nothing new
22:21 Agent_Dani libsysguy: Heh! The "ez" claim worried me at first, but compared to dealing with a lot of the stuff from HP, Oracle, etc...
22:21 libsysguy there is nothing ever eazy from Oracle
22:21 * libsysguy hates Oracle
22:21 libsysguy **for what they did to JAVA
22:22 rangi and solaris
22:22 rangi and mysql
22:22 rangi and openoffice
22:22 Agent_Dani I can't say I'm a fan either. A part of my motivation for leaving that job was that I was basically becoming the dump-on person for Oracle DBA tasks that the DBAs didn't want to do.
22:22 rangi and basic human decency
22:22 chilts hmmm ... and for doing Oracle too!
22:22 rangi oh yeah and oracle
22:22 chilts :)
22:22 rangi what a sack of crap that is
22:22 rangi oh look its crashed again
22:23 chilts indeed, glad I don't touch it these days
22:23 libsysguy ESPECIALLY Oracle
22:23 lds left #koha
22:23 Agent_Dani I only deal with stuff that connects to Oracle DBs; I don't have to actually deal with the DB anymore.
22:23 mtj i have a good friend working at oracle-nz
22:24 chilts my friend used to work for acompany that got taken over by Oracle ... first thing they did was give them pay rises
22:24 chilts 2nd thing they did was forced them to use their crappy internal tools
22:25 chilts I figure it was a giving with one hand and a taking with the other
22:25 mtj it sounds like epic wtf's on a daily basis there :/
22:25 Agent_Dani libsysguy: I will admit that after the early work in '99-early 2000, my involvement with ezproxy was systems side. I no longer dealt with configuring databases within it.
22:26 libsysguy ahh...well all i deal with is setting it up on the system
22:27 mtj afaik, all phbs at oracle are either playing golf, or updating their facebook
22:27 libsysguy sounds about right mjt
22:28 Agent_Dani The worst task I had to do with it was setup auth with DRA Web2, which was available in a then-brand-spanking-new beta release of EZP.
22:29 mtj chilts: 3rd thing was force staff to sign 'all-your-work-belong-to-us' NDAs - til the staff complained

22:38 chilts I think you can have them for a day but as part of a 4 or 5 days a month contract
22:38 chilts so I don't think you can just turn up - I asked BizDojo about that but they didn't get back to me
22:38 rangi ahh right
22:38 rangi wasnt there somewhere you were going occasionally?
22:38 chilts heh, the library :)
22:39 chilts but no, I was _thinking_ about BozDojo but it's quite expensive I feel
