Time  Nick   Message
15:03 thd    kados: are you there?
15:04 kados  thd: yes
15:04 thd    kados: is there a meeting now?
15:04 kados  nope
15:04 kados  I won't have time to have one today
15:04 kados  I'm too swamped getting ready for ALA
15:05 thd    kados: is ABA this weekend?
15:05 kados  I leave tomorrow for New Orleans
15:05 thd    s/ABA/ALA/
15:05 kados  and I get back on the 28th
15:05 kados  I have no idea when it starts ;-)
15:05 kados  or ends ;-)
15:06 thd    kados: I guess then you do not have a few minutes now?
15:07 kados  probably not :-)
15:07 kados  unless it can't wait until I arrive in New Orleans
15:08 thd    kados: so I will try pinging you in the evening tomorrow?
15:09 thd    kados: what counts as evening?
15:09 kados  I'm not sure ...
15:09 kados  I think there's a time change involved
15:09 kados  they are GMT -5
15:09 thd    kados: New Orleans is definitely in the same time Zone is it not?
15:10 kados  so it's one hour behind you and I
15:10 kados  so evening should be any time after 7:00pm your time
15:10 kados  thd: you can call me to inquire :-)
15:11 kados  if I'm not on IRC I may be passed out in the hotel :-)
15:11 thd    kados: perhaps you could answer something simple but least important just now
15:12 kados  sure
15:12 thd    kados: is it possible to run an X windows session inside screen or have you ever tried?
15:12 kados  it's not possible unfortunately
15:12 kados  I have attempted it :-)
15:13 thd    :(
15:13 kados  but ...
15:13 kados  it would be ideal :-)
15:13 kados  there may be one way
15:13 thd    everything should run inside screen
15:13 kados  to acomplish it
15:14 thd    kados: any clues about the possible way
15:14 thd    ?
15:14 kados  the one way would involve ssh tunneling the X windows session
15:15 kados  thd: http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935
15:16 kados  thd: read through the 'first thing I thought of' thread on that page
15:16 kados  not I must get going and pack some equipment
15:16 thd    thank you kados
15:17 thd    kados: have fun packing
15:17 kados  ths

02:02 ToinS  hi all
02:09 btoumi hi all
02:13 ToinS  hello btoumi
02:16 btoumi hi toins:
03:00 btoumi :chris are u around?
03:06 chris  yep
03:06 chris  just playing with something
03:06 paul   hello chris & btoumi
03:06 chris  http://opac.bigballofwax.co.nz/cgi-bin/koha/ajax_opac.pl
03:06 paul   playing with Koha, WoW or something else, not computer related
03:06 chris  try typing art in the box
03:06 paul   ah, ok ;-)
03:08 Comete hi
03:10 Comete chris: nice
03:11 chris  its just a proof on concept at the moment, but i think it could be useful in some places
03:14 chris  probably not the opac, or only as an option in the opac, its not useful for browsers that dont support javascript well etc
03:14 chris  but it could be handy in the librarian interface
03:15 chris  at the moment its searching on every key press, but it could search only when the search button is pushed say, but still fetch into the page .. so could be a good way to speed up circulation
03:16 chris  very cold in wellington tonight, so im glad to have the laptop warming up my knees :)
03:20 paul   chris: kados already did something about this.
03:20 paul   labs.liblime.com iirc
03:20 chris  yep this is slightly different i think
03:21 chris  its using CGI::Ajax
03:21 chris  138 lines of perl
03:21 chris  i didnt write a single line of javascript
03:21 btoumi hi paul sorry i'm busy
03:22 btoumi i was busy
03:25 chris  paul: so CGI::Ajax builds all the javascript for me... thats what I like about it
03:25 chris  and i can change the backend
03:26 chris  and the behaviour without having to edit a template or anything
03:27 btoumi kool
03:29 btoumi u dont reload the page
03:29 btoumi is it?
03:32 chris  yeah
03:36 ToinS  CGI::Ajax looks very nice !
03:37 paul   that's why I love Perl : if you need something, 99.999% chances someone needed it, and submitted it to cpan !
03:37 chris  exactly
03:44 btoumi kool i'm interesting about this because more usefull
03:45 btoumi i'm agree with u paul
03:45 btoumi i can't believe that i say that but perl is fantastic ;=)
03:45 paul   lol
03:46 btoumi really:=)
04:11 btoumi :chris is it hard to use CGI::Ajax
04:11 btoumi ?
04:11 chris  nope
04:12 chris  not hard at all
04:12 chris   my $cgi = new CGI;
04:12 chris          my $pjx = new CGI::Ajax('exported_func' => \&perl_func );
04:12 chris          return ($pjx->build_html( $cgi, \&Show_HTML));
04:12 chris  and then you just write perl_func and Show_HTML
04:13 btoumi ok
04:13 chris  sub perl_func {
04:13 chris      my $input= shift;
04:13 chris  do something with $input;
04:13 chris  return ($output);
04:13 chris  }
04:13 btoumi ok
04:14 btoumi i will learn more about this package
04:14 chris  it does all the hard work for you
04:15 btoumi ty
04:16 btoumi now i work on moremeber.tmpl to show only category_type information
04:16 chris  :)
04:40 btoumi i think u have different display (moremember.tmpl) in function of category_type
04:41 btoumi i try to do it but not ready today because i'm in formation today;=(
05:09 btoumi :paul or :chris are u around?
05:09 btoumi a little question
05:10 paul   btoumi: throw your question
05:13 btoumi just want to now if it's possible for  firstname field in borrowers
05:13 btoumi to be yes for null
05:14 paul   mmm, I would vote YES
05:14 btoumi ok because when u are institution u don't use firstname
05:14 btoumi i will modify updatedatabase
05:14 btoumi and commit
05:16 btoumi ok bye for all
05:16 paul   bye
05:16 btoumi :nick btoumi_away
