19:37 wizzyrea jcamins_away: did you get your issues sorted out?
19:37 jcamins_away wizzyrea: it would seem so.
19:37 wizzyrea yay cool
19:38 jcamins_away I thought you fixed it, actually.
19:38 wizzyrea I suspect that the twitter pickup doesn't happen straight away
19:38 wizzyrea i.e. it requires some interval
19:38 wizzyrea (unknown to me - I think I did not set that bit up, I think it's an external service like yahoo pipes or similar.
19:38 wizzyrea )
19:38 wizzyrea also, good <time of day>
19:38 wizzyrea :)
19:38 jcamins_away Hello.
19:39 * jcamins_away is just finishing up a delicious lunch of fried rice.
19:40 jcamins_away An inspired way to use up the leftover rice and the leftover roast beef.
19:43 user00 joined #koha
19:43 wizzyrea oh yes. fried rice is a good plan
20:19 rangi morning
20:20 jcamins_away Morning.
20:20 wahanui morning is a state of mind. or whenever the cat wants breakfast.
20:27 rangi good newsletter jcamins_away
20:29 jcamins Thanks.
20:33 user00 *wonders* do cats like fried rice?
20:34 jcamins user00: they do when there's meat in it.
20:37 user00 jcamins: have you heard of boudin? (Wikipedia suggests I should refer to it, perhaps, as Boudin blanc.)
20:37 user00 rice mixed with sausage
20:38 jcamins I have not.
20:39 user00 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudin
20:39 wizzyrea I have heard that referred to as "Dirty Rice"
20:39 wizzyrea (and mostly in the southern US)
20:39 user00 I just got back from the Lake Charles, LA area last week, and was introduced to it.
20:40 wizzyrea boudin is just the sausage apparently
20:40 wizzyrea oh well with rice it's the blanc
20:40 wizzyrea :)
20:40 user00 yep,
20:41 wizzyrea that's not precisely the thing I was thinking of
20:41 user00 Pretty good stuff, as long as you don't read the nutritional information on the package. Actually, the calorie count isn't terribly high.
20:42 wizzyrea oh hai :)
20:42 rambutan hey
20:43 jcamins Good news...
20:43 wahanui good news is it looks like it's running properly.
20:43 jcamins I think I should have enough cookbooks to keep me occupied for a while.
20:44 rangi heh
20:44 jcamins I just downloaded...
20:44 jcamins 130.
20:44 jcamins project_gutenberg++
20:47 jcamins Well, 129 so far.
20:48 jcamins I can't seem to get the 130th to download.
20:48 rangi speaking of that
20:48 rangi http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Low_hanging_fruit
20:48 rangi i added another to the list of easy stuff
20:48 rangi http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]to_help#OMGWTFBBQ.21  and made a new category
20:49 jcamins lol
20:50 eythian hi
20:50 wahanui hi, eythian
21:03 eythian wahanui: merry christmas is <reply>https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/6[…]411136/h6CA48D60/
21:03 wahanui OK, eythian.
21:03 rangi heh
21:03 wizzyrea1 joined #koha
21:04 trea well played
21:04 jcamins lol
21:07 wizzyrea take that!
21:11 rangi i think to end 2012, we should throw on a bit of janis joplin https://soundcloud.com/bobby-b[…]lin-try-the-bobby
21:17 eythian http://youtu.be/ShiShrR_nh8 <-- not this?
21:17 rangi hells no
21:18 wizzyrea silly robin, two thousand THIRTEEN, not two thousand.
21:18 rangi altho that is by far the best silverchair song
21:18 eythian it's accurate within a tiny percentage.
21:18 rangi (its a low bar)
21:18 wizzyrea kekeke
21:19 eythian rangi: right on both counts.
21:20 rangi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMAtL7n_-rc   <-- scott joplin
21:23 rangi jcamins: i have a new recipe for you
21:23 rangi http://www.youtube.com/watch?f[…]d&v=mbV0VhlIzzo#!
21:25 jcamins lol
21:25 wizzyrea vbmc is quite funny.
21:25 barriers joined #koha
21:26 * wizzyrea still occasionally chants "cut the tofu, turn the plate!"
21:26 rangi hehe
21:26 rangi "poke at them randomly"
21:26 rangi best cooking instruction yet
21:27 * wizzyrea decides not to make a lewd joke.
21:30 liw rangi, how strict are the randomness criteria? is a brain-generated mock-random movement pattern sufficient? :-)
21:30 rangi hehe i suspect that's fine :)
21:30 eythian you need to run it through a crypto hashbrown first.
21:31 jcamins That was awesome!
21:33 jcamins "Blackest of the black beans."
21:33 jcamins "Sesame tofu from the abyss"
21:33 rangi heh
21:34 * jcamins takes his laptop into the other room so he can watch them all while washing dishes.
21:34 eythian *consecrating the dishes
21:36 wizzyrea eythian is on a roll today.
21:36 wizzyrea highly giggleworthy.
21:37 eythian it's what happens after a break I guess :)
21:37 wizzyrea \o/
21:37 wizzyrea now I do have one quibble with this recipe
21:37 wizzyrea it is not very mexican with loads of sriracha.
21:37 wizzyrea really you ought to be going for chiles.
21:38 eythian this reminds me, I need to go spend time at the mediterranian food place down the road one day soon.
21:38 rangi https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/6[…]712128/hB4EE1988/
21:38 wizzyrea "weird wednesday"
21:38 wizzyrea lool.
21:39 wizzyrea eythian: did you know they have squid ink there?
21:39 eythian I didn't. But I have a bottle of ink in my drawer here anyway, I don't write enough to go through it fast.
21:39 wizzyrea it's for cooking ^.^
21:39 eythian I guess it would be more useful if I were writing something Lovecraftian.
21:40 wizzyrea perhaps so
21:40 wizzyrea hehehe
21:40 wizzyrea "add an axe or two of meat"
21:40 eythian that's not very vegan.
21:40 rangi it's "meat"
21:41 wizzyrea right, crumbled boca burgers.
21:41 eythian oh right
21:42 wizzyrea buffalo seitan bites.
21:42 wizzyrea ...which was so awesome it crashed flash.
21:43 jcamins The Pad Thai video is made of win.
21:43 jcamins "Chop its head off and crush it with a kniiiiiiiife."
21:43 eythian http://www.youtube.com/html5 <-- wizzyrea
21:44 wizzyrea ooo
21:44 wizzyrea ty
21:46 rambutan I liOK, so you integrate this with koha: http://rasterweb.net/raster/tag/make/ and every koha library world-wide uses it to do a scrolling display of the koha holdings of each nation.
21:46 rangi that'd be pretty sweet
21:47 rambutan We're buying some 3D printers, so I'm getting into the Maker thing.
21:49 barriers joined #koha
21:49 rangi cool
21:50 wizzyrea you'll have to be into it - someone has to teach people how to use the printers
21:53 rambutan Yep, one of the big issues. I suppose some Blender and Inkscape learning are in store for us.
21:53 rangi libaries should totally have makerspaces in them
21:54 wizzyrea oh yea, I agree
21:54 wizzyrea but getting them to sign on to this idea is harder than it sounds.
21:54 wizzyrea at least it was in kansas
21:54 wizzyrea was/is
21:54 rambutan fear and $$
21:54 wizzyrea fear. SO MUCH FEAR.
21:54 wizzyrea it might be too popular.
21:55 rangi yeah, the $$ is much more soluble
21:55 rangi mostly makers will bring their own stuff
21:55 wizzyrea someone would have to be capable to oversee the equipment
21:55 rambutan Afraid of liability and not having thousands of coins to buy equipment
21:55 rangi if you give them a safe place to store it
21:55 wizzyrea and the liability thing
21:55 rangi oh yeah i keep forgetting about that
21:55 rangi much easier here
21:55 wizzyrea make them sign a waiver.
21:55 rambutan My director, quite luckily (I think!) is very supportive of the idea.
21:56 wizzyrea ffs, I had to sign a waiver when I took spud to a indoor plaspace
21:56 wizzyrea playspace
21:56 rambutan We're not going to do woodworking with power saws and all that, but certainly the 3D printing and scanning part.
21:56 wizzyrea that said "if he dies, it's not our fault"
21:56 wizzyrea and that would be legally binding. libraries could easily do that.
21:57 wizzyrea as long as the library isn't negligent.
21:57 rambutan yea, we're already planning on doing waivers for things like our e- lab. (A very modest e- lab certainly).
21:58 rambutan I'd like to offer a few simple classes on the Pi and Arduino, and see how much interest there is around here.
21:58 wizzyrea I just think it's a red herring, liability.
21:58 jcamins rangi: I had a thought: is there any reason the Debian scripts couldn't be general?
21:58 rambutan Agree, we're really got to get past it.
21:58 wizzyrea afk just a min
21:58 rangi the koha-create etc?
21:59 jcamins Yeah.
21:59 rangi only that the files dont exist in the right places on a non package install
21:59 jcamins I mean, obviously that would require changes to Makefile.PL and some file organization.
21:59 rangi yep
21:59 barriers joined #koha
22:00 eythian jcamins: general how?
22:00 jcamins But the only reason it can't be done is that none of us have the free time.
22:00 rangi 92 year old starts a blog
22:00 jcamins eythian: so that instead of using Makefile.PL you run koha-create mykoha.
22:00 rangi http://greycavalier.wordpress.[…]4/intotheunknown/
22:00 rangi this is what the internet is for
22:01 eythian http://youtu.be/eWEjvCRPrCo <-- no, rangi
22:01 rangi heh
22:01 jcamins eythian: I'm thinking if we eliminated the divide between the templates for packages and for tarballs that would be nice.
22:02 jcamins I'm also thinking I'm not doing the work, so that was all just speculative, and now that I've finished speculating, I guess I'd better go wash some more dishes.
22:02 eythian jcamins: hmm. Though running the Makefile.PL and koha-create are quite different things in terms of how they do things. But I do like the idea of sharing templates.
22:02 eythian heh OK
22:03 eythian (of course, them being quite different I guess is why it'd require significant work)
22:03 jcamins Yeah, Makefile.PL mixes up the "Koha installation" and "Koha instance configuration" steps.
22:05 eythian phew, over-christmas-email-pile: cleared!
22:05 wizzyrea if the internet had been around when my grandma was in her early 90's I bet she would have started a blog
22:05 wizzyrea well, if the blogging software had been as good then as it is now
22:06 wizzyrea she would have been 90 about 13 years ago
22:06 wizzyrea (she's still alive)
22:06 wizzyrea the reason I say that is that when she was in her 80's, she was using a computer to write her history
22:07 wizzyrea she probably can't see well enough now to do it :(
22:10 jcamins Myshkin suggests that one does not need to see the computer in order to type.
22:10 wizzyrea myshkin should start a blog.
22:10 rangi i'm concerned
22:11 jcamins He also says that reading is unnecessary.
22:11 jcamins And, "hi."
22:13 rangi concerned
22:13 wahanui https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/6[…]136512/h0FB4BFFA/
22:13 wizzyrea that baby is concerned his mom will buy some bras.

22:35 jcamins Aww.
22:36 jcamins Hehe.
22:36 jcamins I like the cat closing the door.
22:37 wizzyrea I like the slowly rising cat.
22:37 wizzyrea and the cat who can't help himself from jumping in the barrel.
22:38 jcamins Yeah, I was wondering if there was a cat toy out of sight of the camera.
22:39 wizzyrea or the water was catnip tea
22:39 jcamins lol
