07:16 cait gmcharlt: still busy? :)
07:26 cait bgkriegel++
07:27 * magnuse waves
07:27 cait hey magnuse
07:27 cait how is it going?
07:30 magnuse guten morgen cait
07:30 magnuse just about to get started
07:30 magnuse but everything takes soooo much time...
07:31 magnuse as i said on twitter recently: why have libraries not forced vendors to agree on a common format for data export/import between ILSes?
07:35 cait magnuse: guess there are many not so nice about libraries reasons for that
07:35 magnuse yeah...
07:43 gmcharlt magnuse: well, one issue is that they would get used only sporadically
07:44 gmcharlt e.g. lots of reasons to exchange MARC records all the time, fewer reasons to do batch import/exports of anything else
07:44 magnuse gmcharlt: yeah, but maybe more often if migrations were easier to do - and they are hard because there is no common format... ;-)
07:44 gmcharlt (I'm treated things like NCIP, SIP2, OAI-PMH, as fulfilling a different application need)
07:45 gmcharlt magnuse: yeah, but there's always a shorter term need that provides more immediate payoff
07:45 magnuse hehe, true
07:46 cait yeah
07:46 gmcharlt i.e., given a choice between developing a feature that patrons can use "now" versus something that may only be useful to the library five years later, when they get sick of their current ILS... the longer-term considerations is not likely to win
07:47 magnuse well, libraries should force vendors to implement a common format out of their own pocket: "we will not buy this unless it supports import/export with formatX"
07:48 gmcharlt also ... too much emphasis on a common interchange format could run the risk of ossifying ILS R&D even more than it is already
07:48 magnuse but then like every other library standard there would of course be vendor specific versions and implementations of formatX...
07:48 gmcharlt heh
07:48 gmcharlt can you imagine the committee meetings? :)
07:48 magnuse hehe
07:49 cait maybe we really better concentrate on something else :)
07:49 gmcharlt to be honest, IMO it's really sufficient if libraries just get all the vendors to use standard DBMSes,  document their database schemas, and provide tools to get *everything* out in text/XML/something-sensible format
07:49 cait also there might be information loss if you tried to define a common format
07:50 cait gmcharlt++

11:28 cait how is the migration?
11:52 * cait laughsl maly having checked out and checked in an item via sip!
11:52 cait lol
11:52 * cait laughs madly of course
12:20 * magnuse thought "laughsl maly" was kinf of appropriate for sip ;-)
12:21 magnuse the migration is slogging along - 80% of the data takes 20% of the time, and then the remaining 20% of the data takes 80% of the time...
12:22 magnuse s/kinf/kind/
12:23 magnuse heh "cait laughs madly of course" is nice when you take it out of context :-)

12:54 magnuse i just had another listen and the view count went up by ~40k while i was watching...
13:22 * magnuse needs some fresh air
13:26 magnuse and a new brain
13:40 cait new brain sounds good
14:08 jcamins magnuse is right. What does the fox say? is horrifyingly catchy.
14:10 magnuse moahahahaha
14:32 jcamins What should I do with a squid?
14:35 magnuse use it as a proxy?
14:36 jcamins Hehe.
14:36 jcamins I was thinking of the edible kind.
14:36 magnuse ah, sorry
14:36 cait carefuly cut it criss cross and then pan fry?
14:36 magnuse what kind? the classical one from the cartoons, with a big head in the middle and arms all around?
14:37 magnuse or the kind with a long tube-like body?
14:37 cait magnuse: i think you think octopus :)
14:37 jcamins Squid = tube-like body.
14:37 magnuse ah, ok
14:37 jcamins I'm not quite ready to try cooking an octopus yet.
14:37 magnuse hehe
14:37 cait octopus is good raw
14:37 cait :)
14:37 * jcamins shudders
14:37 cait so you don't have to cook it :P
14:37 magnuse first thing i think of is calamares a la romana
14:38 magnuse cut the body into rings, dunk them in some kind of uhm batter and deep fry them
14:38 magnuse yummy with a squeeze of lemon and a salad
14:38 jcamins Yeah, that's the first thing that came to my mind too. :)
14:38 magnuse ooh, great minds think alike ;-)
14:39 * cait likes the healthier variant without batter :P
14:39 cait but fried is yummy
14:39 jcamins cait: I'm thinking about something like this, to avoid the unhealthiness of frying: http://blog.foodnetwork.com/he[…]healthy-eats-way/
14:40 magnuse i once had dinner at a fish restaurant in barcelona. on the next table were a young japanese (?) couple with a dictionary. when they were served large bowls of more or less whole octopus they almost fainted ;-)
14:41 jcamins magnuse: you'd think a young Japanese couple would know how to deal with an octopus.
14:41 magnuse yeah, and they might have done, but it was definitely not what they expected, judging by the looks on their faces
14:42 jcamins Hehe.
14:42 * jcamins wouldn't have expected it either.
14:42 cait that looks very yummy
14:42 cait i will need to buy panko at some point
14:42 cait magnuse: hm raw octopus is janpanese...
14:42 cait japanese
14:43 cait maybe they were unhappy it was cooked? :P
14:43 jcamins magnuse: but you know how it is with octopi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?f[…]=7WJXHY2OXGE#t=36
14:45 jcamins cait: yeah, looks like I need to buy panko breadcrumbs too.
