Lowest karma: "<!" (-16), "failed" (-10), and "<-" (-9). You (chris) are ranked 4 out of 382. 09:47 |Lupin| kf: yes. Since recently I can type tibetan in my LInux console and the letters are displayed correctly on the screen. In braille, however, each letter is represented by a question mark at the moment. I'll have to choose a braille representaiton for each letter, which is not very easy :) 09:47 |Lupin| @karma kf 09:47 munin |Lupin|: Karma for "kf" has been increased 4 times and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 4. 09:48 kf yay :) 09:48 chris @most 09:48 munin chris: (most [<channel>] {increased,decreased,active}) -- Returns the most increased, the most decreased, or the most active (the sum of increased and decreased) karma things. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself. 09:49 chris @most increased 09:49 munin chris: "paul_p": 54, "hdl_laptop": 40, "owen": 39, "chris": 37, "gmcharlt": 34, "slef": 28, "atz": 27, "fbcit": 27, "kados": 16, "wizzyrea": 15, "pianohacker": 15, "nengard": 14, "thd": 13, "kyle": 10, "toins": 10, "pierrick": 8, "tumer": 8, "brendan": 7, "git": 7, "ricardo": 6, "jwagner": 5, "|Lupin|": 5, "mason": 5, "schuster": 5, and "acmoore": 5 09:49 chris @most decreased 09:49 munin chris: "<!": 16, "failed": 10, "<-": 9, "-": 6, "ie": 5, "encoding": 4, "+---------------+---------------------+-------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+---------------------------------+--------": 3, "--><th>Renew</th><!": 3, "class="highlight"<!": 3, "<tr<!": 3, "savannah": 3, "google": 3, "there": 2, "capital_letters": 2, "nz": 2, "ms": 2, "kados": 2, "jerks": 2, (1 more message) 09:49 chris @clear <! 09:49 munin chris: Error: You don't have the #koha,op capability.

Conditions: Smoke. Humidity: 74%. Dew Point: 25.0�C. Pressure: 29.68 in 1005 hPa (Steady). 12:47 jdavidb gmcharlt: ping? 12:48 gmcharlt jdavidb: pong 12:48 jdavidb Some time when you've got a few minutes, I'd like to visit with you about the build_holds_queue cron, and the hold_fill_targets table.. Something about it has me scratching my head, and "git blame" shows your name a *lot* in there. 12:50 gmcharlt jdavidb: sure - busy this morning, but feel free to ping me this afternoon 12:51 jdavidb Willdo. EBPL may have a fringe use-case here (*everything* about EBPL is a fringe use-case, IMO...) and it's causing some headaches. I can short-circuit it, but I'd like to understand it instead, if possible. 13:19 schuster Owen - how's the baby? sleeping through the night yet? 13:20 owen She has always been a remarkable sleeper, especially compared to our first 13:20 owen She wakes up once or twice, otherwise she sleeps great 13:22 schuster Oh you are lucky! Does your wife work? One of our librarians has had to go back to work after having her baby in May and the adjustment to daycare has not been good. Once an all nigh sleeper is waking up every 2 hours wanting food or to be played with. 13:24 jdavidb My older daughter slept all night the first night home from the hospital. She hasn't done it since, of course...she'll be 17 this fall... 13:26 paul_p good morning USA ! 13:27 owen My wife teaches high school, so she got the summer off plus one extra month this month. Then back to school. 13:27 owen Hi paul_p 13:28 paul_p France is great here: you get 20weeks off when you've a baby (6 before and 14 after the birth), at full salary. For the 3rd or more (of for twins), you get 26. If you have 3 or more babies at the same time it's 36 (but not sure the pain to have 3 babies is worth the 10 more weeks...) 13:29 jdavidb That is good,paul_p...way, way better than here. 13:30 owen paul_p: Maybe so, but according to some American politicians France is a horrible communist country where people wait in line for days for basic health care! 13:30 collum paul_p: Do the father's also get days off? 13:30 paul_p collum: of course, but just 2 weeks 13:31 paul_p and (except for the 1st), anyone (mum or dad) can take 1 year with 1k€ or upto 3 years with 500€ (monthly) to take care of the child 13:31 paul_p my wife is in this status for 5 years now (Jérémie, then 2.5 years later Matthieu) 13:32 paul_p it's called "parental education allocation" 13:32 jdavidb owen: Saw this article on AlterNet, and it points out several pretty dramatic differences in the US and French healthcare systems: http://bit.ly/2CCO3C 13:32 jdavidb I knew that France's system was better, but I didn't quite realize how *much* better. 13:34 paul_p the other side : if you have a salary of 1k€ (net), the mandatory health care amount is almost another 1k€ 13:34 jdavidb Well, sure. There ain't no free lunches. 13:35 gmcharlt but no such thing as "pre-existing conditions", I bet 13:35 paul_p something like 50% for diseases, 25% for retirement, 25% for family allocation. 13:35 gmcharlt what is family allocatin? 13:35 paul_p a frenchism, probably ;-) 13:35 * jdavidb nods at gmcharlt. 13:35 gmcharlt paul_p: no doubt :) but what is it? 13:36 paul_p it's the 1k€ / 500€ I spoke previously + an amount EVERY famil gets just to have childrens 13:36 owen chris++ for fast Zotero/xslt patch 13:36 jdavidb "pre-existing" has been a problem for me all my life. Since I've always been an amputee, anything having to do with my right leg is a "pre-existing condition." 13:36 gmcharlt ah 13:36 * owen could have sworn there was an existing bug for that one 13:36 paul_p monthly : 0 for the 1st, 100 for the 2nd, 160 for 3rd and each one after 13:36 paul_p until your children is 18 13:37 paul_p for us, we get almost 1000€ every months (we have 4 childrens, and wife in "Parental Education Allocation") 13:37 jdavidb Oh, I can so see women here taking way too much advantage of that.. Lordy. "Octomom" wouldn't be news any more. "*only* 14 kids? Pssht." 13:38 collum paul_p: What happens at 18. Is university paid for? We just sent our 18 year old to college. He's finding that he really didn't want as much freedom as he has been asking for since he was 14. 13:38 paul_p jdavidb: in fact, some ppl here are complaining about ppl from north africa having too much babies, just to get the money. 13:39 paul_p collum: are you seated ? if no, the take a chair... 13:39 paul_p universities are free (as beer) in France... 13:39 collum paul_p: I'm braced. 13:39 collum Beer is free? European beer!!!! 13:40 * jdavidb is trying to think of good reasons why *not* living in France is a good idea, and coming up short. 13:40 paul_p (no, it was just refering to free as beer / free as speech) 13:40 paul_p jdavidb: maybe => we speak french ? 13:40 paul_p (but anyway, it's true that a lot of ppl complains the allocation stops when the childrens cost more !) 13:41 jdavidb paul: We have that problem in our immigrant communities. They're not US citizens, but if their baby is born here, the baby is. And so the parents get support money, etc... and there are strong incentives to have lotsa the little monsters.) 13:41 gmcharlt jdavidb: but I suspect not as much as you'd think - we're long past the days where you could set your kids to work on the farm, after all 13:41 jdavidb paul: I don't see speaking French as a problem. I don't, but there's no reason I *couldn't*... 13:42 * paul_p heads back to printing the X0000 of pages I have to print for an RFP (poor trees...) 13:42 jdavidb gmcharlt: Move to south Texas. We really oughta draw a line from El Paso to San Antonio to Houston, and give everything south of the line back to Mexico... They don't set 'em to work on the farm, unfortunately. Quite a few end up in really violent gangs and such. 13:43 jdavidb My brother used to live down there, and he had to move, because my nephew was the *last* native-English speaker in the whole school district--they were only going to offer ESL. 13:44 jdavidb The fact that so darn many of them seem to *want* to live in the squalid conditions of the Rio Grande Valley says something about the place they came from that is really unnerving to me. 13:56 |Lupin| hi again 13:57 owen Is anyone familiar with this problem? http://www.nabble.com/Changelanguage-div-in-Koha-Staff-Client-to25134301.html 13:58 owen I'm not sure I understand how to reproduce it 13:58 gmcharlt owen: I had poked around with that footer in HEAD a while back; it's possible that it may not be reproduicible in HEAD 14:04 |Lupin| hi Sharon 14:04 Sharon good morning 14:05 |Lupin| Sharon: ah good morning... here it's afternoon already 14:05 Sharon this global community stuff 'bakes my noodle' as Liz would say 14:06 |Lupin| Sharon: coudl you explain a bit pls ? who is Liz, what does this expression mean ? :) 14:07 Sharon Liz is my co-worker who's on here as wizzyrea. Bakes my noodle = confuses me 14:11 |Lupin| Sharon: okay, thanks for the subtitles :) 14:12 rhcl I need coffee. brb 14:12 |Lupin| wizzyrea: do you allow me to re-use this expression ? I like it ! :) 14:12 |Lupin| Sharon: where are you located ? 14:13 wizzyrea |Lupin| of course :) 14:13 Sharon |Lupin| we are in Kansas, middle of the US 14:13 wizzyrea technically, that one came from my dad. In my dad's vernacular, the "noodle" was your head, thusly, to bake it was to be completely confused 14:14 wizzyrea so you could say "health care in the US totally bakes my noodle" 14:15 |Lupin| aaaah 14:16 |Lupin| wizzyrea: I think I got it. It expresses confusion because noodles are supposed to be boiled rather than baken, so if you bake them it's you must be totally confused... correct ? 14:16 |Lupin| Sharon: ok 14:16 wizzyrea you could also "bonk your noodle" (hit your head) 14:16 wizzyrea yep, that's about right 14:16 wizzyrea though that makes somewhat less sense 14:17 wizzyrea lol 14:18 wizzyrea |Lupin| Kansas is where Dorothy is from in the story The Wizard of Oz, if that helps. 14:18 * wizzyrea ducks and waits for the inevitable "there's no place like home's" 14:19 kf hi liz - did you have a chance to look at your self checkouts for renewals? 14:19 gmcharlt wizzyrea: cataloging professor is using the Wizard of Oz as an example this semester - lots of cornfield and Kansas jokes already :/ 14:20 wizzyrea kf- indeed, I got the info back late yesterday afternoon: the way ours work is that it just checks out the book again with a refreshed circ rule. It doesn't seem to follow the renewal rules. 14:20 wizzyrea gmcharlt - you can tell him that we have more wheat than corn ;) (nyah nyah) 14:21 gmcharlt wizzyrea: I'll let her know ;) 14:21 wizzyrea her* 14:21 wizzyrea and it's fine to make fun of Kansas... there's a lot of comedic fodder here. 14:21 wizzyrea though not as much as Missouri ^.^ 14:22 Sharon that would be missoura... 14:22 wizzyrea I mean, any place whose name phonetically sounds so much like "misery" has to be funny, right? 14:23 kf rofl 14:23 Sharon gmcharlt we used that book for my cataloging class back at IU Bloomington. I don't remember KS jokes, but I'm sure there were some. 14:24 |Lupin| wizzyrea: heay it helps, I remember now. Thanks ! 14:24 kf wizzyrea: thx - perhaps we can do something similar. I already noticed that checking out a already checked out book leads to a renewal - was not sure if this could be a problem, when people accidently check out more than one and loose their renewals this way 14:25 chris hmm why am i awake at 2.30am .. oh thats right because of http://geonet.org.nz/earthquake/drums/snzo-drum.html 14:25 jdavidb wizzyrea: When I was in college speech class, we were supposed to do a promotional speech for some tourist site we knew about.

Strictly speaking you can either display the bib-level item type or the item-level item type for *allocated* items. 20:10 owen Better not to show the item type column at all, or to show the item-level item type only for waiting holds? 20:10 gmcharlt owen: the former 20:10 gmcharlt item-type level holds no longer really exist; when they get rebuilt (stronger, and better!), can add back then 20:11 owen Okay. 20:13 Sharon owen we have a problem with bib level item types because in a consortium, libraries choose slightly different itypes (newbook v. book) for example 20:14 Sharon I think we whined until all itypes displayed in our catalog pull from the item record, not the bib. 20:19 Sharon Question - is this koha-generated email something new. The subject line is: Delayed Mail (still being retried) 20:23 pianohacker Sharon: That sounds like something generated by your mail server, rather than Koha itself 20:23 Sharon well then I'll ask wizzyrea about it. Thanks! It's something new and it's clogging inboxes (or so I'm told) 20:25 owen See y'all later 20:25 pianohacker Sharon: It's probably related to the mail problems mentioned on the Koha list 20:33 chris hmm yeah 20:39 chris that mail thing could be causing a bunch of mess 20:40 richard hi 20:40 chris hiya richard 20:42 richard i wondered what woke me up last night - http://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/quakes/3145159g-maps.html 20:43 rhcl chris was talking about it. How close were you to it? 20:44 chris richard lives about 1 km away from me 20:45 chris we both live at about the top tip of the star 20:45 chris on that map 20:45 rhcl The Seismicity Map at the link above is pretty impressive. 20:46 wizzyrea ok... the mail thing... lol 20:46 wizzyrea do. not. panic. our situation was normal email operation 20:47 wizzyrea it was just a new (for them) message.

Do you use a web browser? 20:53 rhcl As much as I'm really into Linux and tech stuff, most people expect me to be really Web 2.0, but I'm not at all. 20:53 wizzyrea twhirl is my favorite client atm, you can do identi.ca and twitter on it simultaneously. but a lot of people like tweetdeck. 20:57 rhcl I was following Richard Stallman for a couple of weeks, and he never said a word. 21:08 |Lupin| hi again 21:12 |Lupin| ... and good night
