23:44 brendan         Looking for a KOHA socialist t-shirt to send to owen
23:43 brendan         United !!
23:37 gmcharlt        socialist non-librarian developers of the world, unite!
23:37 chris           hehe
23:37 Jo              enough picking over old bones - off to do real work now - librarian work ... not developer work :) (coz you know, they are like the bad guys :)
23:31 brendan         And we are going encourage her to get more involved in the community -- if that is even possbile
23:31 brendan         Nicole will help us out so much
23:30 brendan         nengard++
23:30 brendan         YAY -- we are so excited
23:30 Jo              (still feeling very warm towards to Brendan for hiring Nicole :)
23:29 Jo              waves at Brendan ;)
23:23 brendan         little embarrassed for my home state (ben ide) is from the same state that I grew up in
23:22 brendan         hi Jo
23:22 brendan         overthisbullshit++
23:22 Jo              i think joshua has made his bed now and will have to lie in it.
23:21 Jo              i am too tobe honest
23:21 Jo              yep :)
23:17 chris           can you tell?
23:17 * chris         is over this bullshit
23:17 chris           anyone who resorts to calling someone a socialist as if it was an insult, probably has a tenuous grasp on reality anyway
23:15 chris           its also telling that the biggest detractors of the community, are those that have chosen never to become involved
23:14 chris           of course, but its not hard to disprove with some basic research
23:14 Jo              hence why we had to stick to our guns with the code4lib story
23:14 Jo              well liblime kminds encouraged that myth
23:14 chris           and that even if they had, it would be without any input from libraries/librarians
23:13 chris           labouring under the delusion liblime created koha, and that no one else ever has had anything to do with it
23:13 chris           for librarians, they seem spectularly unable to do basic research
23:12 chris           (supporters of the fork that is)
23:12 chris           i wish that the supporters could show the same level of intellectual honesty
23:11 chris           yeah
23:11 Jo              Chris_n2 message was pretty hnoinest
23:10 Jo              jjust read my emails
23:10 Jo              whoah ..
22:58 brendan         *sigh*
22:58 chris           ad hominem = you lost
22:58 chris           brendan: yep im sure they meant it as insult
22:58 brendan         yup I agree with gmcharlt - that's an insult here
22:58 chris           its like "oh you care about people other than yourself"
22:57 chris           oh yeah, over here thats a compliment
22:57 gmcharlt        it's a peculiarly USian thing, I think, that the term socialist is a deadly insult
22:57 chris           how did joe wilson get on the liblime users list i wonder
22:56 chris           http://twitter.com/oleonard/status/4040171720
22:56 chris           poor owen
22:34 brendan         chris_n2-away++
22:31 collum          excellent response chris_n2
22:28 chris           that is a wonderful response
22:27 chris           chris_n2++
22:27 chris_n2        bbl
22:26 chris_n2        well, I had to post a response :-P
22:16 chris           ping him on the mailing list
22:16 chris           ahh the VM one, is kyle yep
22:16 rhcl            We're having a heck of a time setting static IP addresses with it.
22:16 chris           this one is the most recent i know of
22:16 brendan         and the livecd
22:15 chris           http://www.mizstik.com/projects/koha-livecd/
22:15 chris           kyle did one
22:15 brendan         yes Kyle
22:15 jdavidb         Kyle, wasn't it?
22:15 chris           yep, lemme find the link rhcl
22:15 chris           BSD is not copyleft, but its still open source
22:15 rhcl            Hey, does anybody know/remember who it was that released the Koha VM iso?
22:15 jdavidb         moodaepo:  As I see it, the wheels started to fall off about last Christmas.  The crash-landing isn't complete yet, so maybe a year, by the time it all falls over.
22:14 moodaepo        I actually have a friend with the darkside who uses perl...it's the bsd license which is attractive. Another one uses it at UBS.
22:13 chris           moodaepo: i dont know of many proprietary perl programmers .. i guess there must be some though ;)
22:13 moodaepo        How long did it take to run LL into the ground by the way
22:13 brendan         :)
22:13 * brendan       listening
22:13 jdavidb         chris++
22:13 brendan         chris++
22:13 rhcl            chris: and you've been holding back!!! :_
22:13 chris           just to explain why i am being so frank
22:12 moodaepo        or there are always proprietary ones who can be brought into the company
22:12 chris           now that joshua has officially confirmed the fork, i feel free to speak my mind
22:12 jdavidb         (someone who buys the Kool-Aid from management, too)
22:12 jdavidb         They'd have to grab someone young and dumb, and that won't help much.
22:12 chris           i cant see that many open source programmers queueing up to work on a vendor fork
22:11 jdavidb         They have an ad up on their website, but I don't think much of their chances to hire anyone.
22:11 chris           rhcl: we'd be the last to know, since the wont be on the mailing lists, irc or submitting patches
22:11 rhcl            But I assume they've been hiring?
22:11 chris           not an order of magnitude tho :-)
22:10 chris           biblibre's already is
22:10 jdavidb         True enough, rhcl, 'specially since they have no staff to pay....  Lose a couple more, and PTFS's Koha team will be bigger than LL's.
22:10 chris           thats contingent on LL having anyone left to do the work rhcl
22:09 rhcl            Waldo seems to have put some serious coin in their pocket..that could last a while.
22:09 brendan         ok admit -- maybe a little to harsh -- like the car crash a little bit more
22:09 jdavidb         In this deeply-inbred industry?  Doesn't take long.  Word gets around in a hurry.
22:09 brendan         I think -- how quickly can you run a company into the ground ???
22:08 brendan         ha -- jdavidb  -- so true
22:07 jdavidb         rhcl++
22:07 jdavidb         It's kinda like watching a video of a car crash; you *know* it is going to end horribly, but you just can't tear your eyes away...
22:07 chris           rhcl++
22:07 rhcl            I'm trying to stay very much on the sideline, but from watching this it reaffirms that there are some advantages to keeping your server in-house rather than hosted.
22:06 chris           the lies are becoming more thin and transparent every day
22:06 jdavidb         right.
22:06 chris           of course, this only holds if i believe that is the reason why, and of course i dont
22:06 chris           they better, or they are mixing up client sensitive data with other client sensitive datea
22:05 jdavidb         They didn't, when I was there.
22:05 chris           i wonder if they ahve a different repo for each customer
22:05 jdavidb         :)
22:03 moodaepo        aaah yes I am fairly new but I did know that : )
22:03 jdavidb         <--  works for PTFS :  http://www.ptfs.com
22:03 chris           and they have confirmed they will never have one
22:03 moodaepo        PTFS?
22:02 jdavidb         So there it is; as soon as that slacker jdavidb gets off his tail and gets PTFS's repo up, LL will be the only one of the big busy vendors without one.
22:01 chris           heh
22:01 * jdavidb       thinks that one other nice thing about this community is that it is rarely dull.  ;-)
21:59 moodaepo        chris_n2 depends on what the contract says
21:59 chris_n2        if it was not produced.... breach of contract
21:58 chris_n2        another alternative would be to demand source code per contractual agreement
21:57 wizzyrea        very long contracts for some of us :(
21:57 chris           i hear ya chris_n2
21:57 * chris_n2      can't stand doing business with businesses with little to no character, no matter how much I may appreciate their past contributions
21:56 chris_n2        imho the strongest rebuke to LL now would be for their customers to either go "in-house" or with another vendor
21:48 brendan         oh well -- time to settle in and do some work -- turn off the koha soap opera for the moment
21:47 * brendan       <-----  want's clarification on "eventually" - from what I know - "eventually" = "never"
21:45 chris           asterisk rules
21:45 chris_n2        interesting, Asterisk turns 10 this year
21:44 chris           heh
21:43 chris_n2        opps....
21:43 chris_n2        jerks--
21:39 chris           hdl_laptop: awesome !!!
21:32 chris           yep, i hope someone responds to say that, ill give it a few hours then i might thank daniel for confirming it
21:31 wizzyrea        at least it's over
21:31 wizzyrea        sigh
21:30 hdl_laptop      chris pushed
21:30 hdl_laptop      If one really wants to remove customer sensitive data from files, they could.
21:27 chris           no 2 ways about it
21:27 chris           it is a fork
21:27 chris           well all uncertainty is gone then
21:23 brendan         on the mailing list
21:22 brendan         Well there is a response from a LL customer -- quoting Josh
21:18 schuster        be nice - I do have a minor in computer science, but wouldn't wave that in front of anyone...;)
21:18 * chris         forgets the rules already
21:18 chris           oops i shoulda ignored him, he is a librarian
21:17 chris           spotya later schuster
21:17 schuster        My head hurts need to go home.
21:17 chris           yep, i have been testing that
21:17 hdl_laptop      and the more important too
21:17 hdl_laptop      Circulation would be the more tricky to test
21:16 richard         yep
21:15 chris           yep, you too richard?
21:15 chris           im gonna see if i can get some testing/fixing of 3.0.x branch there
21:15 chris           complete with a hackfest
21:15 richard         oh yep. chris are you heading along?
21:15 hdl_laptop      But would be less dangerous than leaving this branch as broken as it is.
21:15 chris           its software freedom day on sunday
21:15 chris           oh yeah, we need to do some good testing
21:14 hdl_laptop      there may be still some caveats though.
21:12 chris           fabulous
21:12 hdl_laptop      Will do it right away
21:12 hdl_laptop      yes.
21:12 chris           hdl_laptop: do you think we should merge the maintenance branch back into 3.0x
21:09 hdl_laptop      sent
21:01 jwagner         Good night all....
20:59 gmcharlt        please
20:59 hdl_laptop      So Resend ?
20:59 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: that woudl work, I think
20:57 chris           "Ben maybe you are too busy attacking people on the liblime mailing list to read the rest of the thread from that email you posted, its far from categorically untrue"
20:57 jwagner         chris, one of my favorite t-shirts is from the thinkgeek site.  It's the SQL query shirt -- select * from users where clue > 0 (0 rows returned)
20:57 chris           which was
20:57 chris           i deleted my first comment
20:56 * chris         comments too
20:55 hdl_laptop      I could put principal_name and $userldapentry->dn as default.
20:55 chris           http://library-matters.blogspot.com/2009/09/liblime-forks-koha.html
20:55 chris           go after the original koha library .. he's all class
20:55 chris           jo ransoms blog
20:55 jwagner         chris, where now?
20:54 chris           he's commenting everywhere he can
20:54 hdl_laptop      gmcharlt: about C4/Auth_with_ldap.pl ?
20:54 chris           is ben being paid by liblime?
20:54 chris           good god
20:50 chris           back
20:46 chris_n         bbl
20:45 munin`          chris_n: The operation succeeded.
20:45 chris_n         @later tell slef patron card work for 3.2 is under way
20:45 chris_n         actually the module test script generates a nice pdf with a patron card full of default values
20:44 chris_n         but it's only half-baked and has not been 'vetted' yet....
20:43 chris_n         hehe
20:43 wizzyrea        ;) jk
20:43 wizzyrea        chris_n: I dunno... we want our code and we want it NOW
20:43 richard         hi
20:43 wizzyrea        jwagner: it's the thought that counts :) at least you made me smile
20:42 * chris_n       hopes that's not holding it back too long... ;-) crontab only works so fast
20:42 chris_n         it should be available in my public repo after 0600 UTC 17/09/09
20:41 * chris_n       commits some initial work on the new patron card creator
20:38 jwagner         Would you settle for a virtual chocolate bar?
20:38 wizzyrea        this is definitely possible
20:36 jwagner         wizzyrea sounds like she needs a chocolate fix...
20:33 wizzyrea        <mumble> <groan>
20:32 * wizzyrea      wanders off to find it
20:32 * wizzyrea      wonders if there is an OTRS irc channel...
20:27 wizzyrea        ...sorry, had to bmw (b****, moan, whine)
20:25 * wizzyrea      prays that this DB import works... stupid help desk software...
20:25 cait            better go to bed now :) - good night #koha
20:22 cait            will I ever get this right? sorry hdl.. (again)
20:22 Nate            i gotta stop doing that
20:21 cait            no it was hdl's file... http://markmail.org/search/?q=icu+marc#query:icu%20marc+page:1+mid:hmtfccsjhs4kdfzx+state:results
20:20 cait            I didnt - let my colleague do that, but I think there is a mail describing it
20:20 hdl_laptop      there is one on domwip on biblibre repositori
20:20 jwagner         Where do you set that up?
20:20 gmcharlt        Zebra is able to use it
20:20 gmcharlt        jwagner: ICU = C library that handles character normalization
20:19 cait            using a file from gmcharlt I think (when I remember correctly this time)
20:19 cait            zebra with icu
20:19 gmcharlt        cait: right
20:19 jwagner         Do you mean you're using something other than Zebra for your indexing?
20:18 cait            i think you cant use this mentioned config file with icu
20:18 jwagner         That's Usum with the sideways paren over the um part (sorry, don't know the names of all the diacritics)
20:18 cait            it only worked after we changed indexing to icu
20:18 cait            w
20:18 cait            we have hebre
20:18 jwagner         My site was looking at Korean characters.  Don't know if it will paste properly -- title starting with Usu?m kwa kamdong
20:17 brendan         yup -- so the defaults all look like that is already set
20:17 jwagner         OK, it's on my "look-at" pile when I dig out from under all the current stuff.
20:16 gmcharlt        yes
20:16 jwagner         I remember seeing somewhere a config file where you could enter stuff like search the e with & without the acute -- is that the same file?
20:16 brendan         I mean add looking at them :)
20:16 brendan         thanks will add the icu-chains (when I get back to that project)
20:14 brendan         was looking at the file - then got distracted
20:14 hdl_laptop      Another hint would be to use icu-chains
20:14 brendan         hdl_laptop that is where I ended up
20:14 hdl_laptop      Maybe you should try and test word-phrase-utf8.chr from fr then.
20:14 * gmcharlt      isn't shouting, just taking it from the Unicode doc, btw ;)
20:13 gmcharlt        E, followed by COMBINING CHARACTER ACUTE
20:13 gmcharlt        decomposed means that it represented as two separate Unicode code points
20:13 jwagner         In my tests I've been cutting & pasting from text which had the diacritic.  Haven't tried composing one (you mean typing it on the keyboard with the Alt-whatever code?)
20:13 gmcharlt        e.g., the character E WITH ACUTE
20:13 gmcharlt        brendan: composed means that a character with a diacritic is represented as a single Unicode code point
20:12 brendan         not sure what you mean composed characters --
20:12 hdl_laptop      Or NFD ?
20:12 hdl_laptop      Or NFC ?
20:12 jwagner         And I've been having the same problems -- was hoping to pick his brain if he'd come up with anything.
20:12 hdl_laptop      Is this composed characters ?
20:12 brendan         I thought that if I typed the author name danielou -- I should get back results with  " daniélou"
20:11 brendan         for items with the diacritic é
20:10 brendan         hdl_laptop -- I was having a little trouble with searching in OPAC
20:10 jwagner         Sorry for the confusion.
20:10 jwagner         No, just an email conversation I was having with brendan.
20:10 hdl_laptop      jwagner: is there a bug you are referring to ?
20:09 hdl_laptop      equinox++
20:09 jwagner         Haven't had a chance to look at that diacritic stuff.  In my "someday" pile for now....
20:06 brendan         afternoon jwagner
20:05 jwagner         Hi brendan

19:52 chris           cyas in a bit
19:52 chris           ok, time to catch my bus
19:43 magnusenger     god night #koha
19:34 brendan         see you in a bit #koha
19:33 chris           its a fairly ineffective anti spam method
19:33 chris           slef: you can buy 2000 captcha cracks for about $2 now
19:29 slef            bah, libraryjournal.com has an eyetest.  Meanies.
19:27 chris           "Second, many of these developers are straight from the library community and the developer orientation – to the extent that you can imply it’s a dominating community feature  – is and was needed due to the limited leadership and vision coming out of the library land to make sensible technology investment decisions. Without them, you can’t build something from nothing, and that libraries are somehow divorced from this process is ludicrous. You

19:25 jdavidb         chris, did you catch my announce after you left this morning?  We'll be standing one up in the next few days, too.  The chokepoint is me, now--only so many hours in a day.
19:24 chris           biblibre++
19:24 chris           awesome
19:24 chris           with all their topic branches
19:24 chris           i note biblibre's public repo is there now too
19:24 jdavidb         Some persons are just pathologically unable to appreciate what others do.  The stuff they're involved in is all-important, and nothing else matters.  It may be that he's that sorta fellow.
19:24 chris           this makes me happy
19:23 chris           http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?do=show&id=en%3Adevelopment%3Agit_repos
19:20 chris           for a guy who has yet to participate in the koha community at all, apart from to slander it, he certainly has a lot of opinions
19:18 chris_n         hehe
19:15 wizzyrea        wowie.
19:14 jdavidb         May have to join Twitter, just t point the Finger of Doom at him.
19:13 chris           ben gets it right ... but not for the reasons he thinks
19:13 jdavidb         tacky, tacky...but I'm not surprised that they dropped it in the floor.  That is not the only one of my good ideas that fell thru.
19:13 hdl_laptop      But maybe could.
19:13 chris           http://twitter.com/benide/status/4029869085
19:13 hdl_laptop      wizzyrea: no, it doenot fetch patron table at the moment.
19:13 wizzyrea        no. I think it died when you left
19:13 jdavidb         they *still* don't have that right, wizzyrea ?
19:12 * wizzyrea      mutters something about her support company not being very responsive to requests for the patron sqlite data.
19:12 wizzyrea        sigh
19:12 wizzyrea        of course, it's precluded by actually getting patron db's occasionally.
19:12 wizzyrea        so...very...exciting
19:12 wizzyrea        hdl: omg, that firefox addon for offline circ = CAN. NOT. WAIT.
19:10 * brendan       always finds sometime to read her blog
19:10 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: a joke - see scrollback about 300 lines back for some interesting claims
19:09 brendan         I'm excited -- maybe jessmyn will be there
19:09 hdl_laptop      gmcharlt: ?
19:09 brendan         hehe
19:09 chris           make sure you ignore the librarians
19:09 brendan         hopefully talking about some development
19:09 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: so, what are these strange non-library entities in France that BibLibre has been busily writing code for?
19:09 chris           excellent
19:09 brendan         yes I will
19:09 chris           brendan: will you be participating?
19:08 chris           http://gmlc.wordpress.com/2009/09/16/agenda-for-the-925-vokal-meeting/ looks interesting
19:08 brendan         gmcharlt dully noted :)
19:08 hdl_laptop      I think that nicomo would like that :)
19:08 hdl_laptop      hehe
19:08 wizzyrea        hey, that would be epic
19:08 chris           hehe
19:08 * gmcharlt      awaits first company to tout how their development is actually driven by _patrons_
19:07 brendan         yeah I don't any librarians that are interested in that
19:07 * jdavidb       struggles with his nifty-new feature that librarians won't want--new books list in the OPAC with some syspref configurability..
19:07 cait            Im with wizzyrea, koha is great software and I hope I can get more involved with it and the community
19:06 chris_n         coding blindfolded... there's a thought
19:06 collum          :)
19:06 wizzyrea        because if that's the case you've all been doing marvelously at guesswork
19:06 chris_n         wizzyrea: hehe
19:06 munin`          gmcharlt: Quote #34: "<chris> oh except that time .. when katipo decided to write an ils just for fun, then forced HLT to use it" (added by gmcharlt at 06:23 PM, September 16, 2009)
19:06 gmcharlt        @quote get 34
19:06 munin`          gmcharlt: I suck
19:06 gmcharlt        @quote 34
19:06 munin`          chris: I've exhausted my database of quotes
19:06 chris           @quote 33
19:06 wizzyrea        well, I would like to say that I truly appreciate all of the hard work you all do to generate features that librarians don't want
19:05 collum          So an ILS can exist for 10 years without librarian/library input?
19:05 * chris_n       works to grind out another non-librarian useful feature to generate patron cards
19:04 collum          chris: nope
19:04 chris           it seems most of the outrageously false stuff is being said there, where it cant be combated by the people being defamed/slandered
19:04 jdavidb         Certainly none of the development we're doing is like that.  The libraries involved very definitely are driving it, with their dollars.
19:03 chris           collum: on the liblime users list .. are you on that?
19:01 collum          wizzyrea: Huh? I was in a meeting all morning and missed that one.
19:01 wizzyrea        that's the claim
19:01 Ropuch          Wish i cuold take a nap at staff meetings... ;>/
19:01 magnusenger     so all the sponsored development - that's just libraries paying good money to let developers scratch their own itches?
19:00 wizzyrea        me too, staff meeting (nap time)
19:00 sekjal          sorry, gtg, circ meeting.  be back in a bit
19:00 chris           yeah
19:00 wizzyrea        (and I'm technically a customer and I think their behavior is appalling)
19:00 sekjal          completely
18:59 wizzyrea        which is ludicrous
18:59 wizzyrea        there was discussion this morning that only liblime does development for librarians, with librarians in mind
18:59 chris           and that people are willfully not understanding at this point
18:59 sekjal          ok.  I'm drafting something, and want to have as many references to back up what I say as possible.
18:58 chris           but like wizzyrea says, i think that point has been made
18:58 chris           have to go back to march for the last one from joshua
18:58 chris           sekjal: it would have been one from either atz or gmcharlt before they resigned
18:57 chris           ohh discworld, i love them too cait
18:57 wizzyrea        because that's the past, and this is now
18:57 wizzyrea        and it frankly doesn't matter who has done more
18:57 magnusenger     wizzyrea: yeah that goes without saying, doesn't it?
18:57 wizzyrea        ehh, that point is proven, it's he said/he said at this point
18:57 cait            discworld?
18:56 sekjal          is there a link that will provide me with the date of the last patch submitted by LibLime?
18:56 wizzyrea        mean, exclusive, koha techie nerds, i think you mean
18:56 Nate            im moving to New Zealand so  im there in 30 years when they do a re-make
18:55 magnusenger     well here we are, confirming the myth of the Koha-techie-nerds... What next? SW and Hitchiker's? ;-)
18:54 chris           so my voice is in there :)
18:54 chris           and chant
18:54 chris           peter jackson came on the field, and got us all to stamp
18:54 Nate            whaaat thats great
18:54 wizzyrea        i think I saw that in the special features
18:54 wizzyrea        hahahahaha
18:54 chris           at the lunch break
18:54 chris           that was recorded at a cricket match in wellington
18:54 chris           when all the orcs and uruk hai of the white hand are chanting before they go off to attack the hornburg
18:54 Nate            im a little puney to be an uruk hai but i could have passed for a hobbit!
18:53 wizzyrea        awww, one of the previews on the side was (I think) kahu pointing at something, very sweet picture
18:53 Nate            ive read all the books just about every year since i was nine
18:52 Nate            man i would have loved to be in any part of those movies
18:52 wizzyrea        the time travel one?
18:52 wizzyrea        didn't guillermo del toro do one of the harry potter movies?
18:52 chris           i auditioned for a rider of rohan, couldnt ride well enough tho
18:52 chris           Nate: my brother in law died as an uruk hai in all 3 movies :)
18:51 chris           http://photos.bigballofwax.co.nz/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=1004
18:51 chris           we now have galadriel and nazguls in our christmas parades hehe
18:51 chris           http://photos.bigballofwax.co.nz/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=1001
18:51 Nate            I shoudve been cast for the roll of pippin
18:50 Nate            those are awsome!
18:49 * jdavidb       sees the "Stamps and Coins" shop in the background, and drools a li'l.  Must go there during KohaCon '10.
18:47 chris           http://photos.bigballofwax.co.nz/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=3564
18:47 Nate            you were there!? Luuckeee
18:46 Nate            no but I would love to see them
18:46 chris           nate: have i shown you my pictures from the return of the king premiere?
18:46 Nate            he went from a dwarf to a wizard
18:45 chris           yeah he has lost a lot of weight
18:44 wizzyrea        i know! it's nuts! wth happened to him?
18:44 chris           wizzyrea: most of it's still there
18:44 Nate            peter jackson looks skinny
18:43 chris           who better to get to march in formation :)
18:43 chris           in two towers, all those ones marching
18:43 chris           the army were also orcs and uruk hai
18:43 Nate            definately
18:43 wizzyrea        building hobbiton
18:43 wizzyrea        best use of an army ever
18:43 chris           http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/film/2847070/Settlement-clears-way-for-The-Hobbit
18:43 wizzyrea        though I guess it's been years
18:43 wizzyrea        tell me they didn't demolish hobbiton....
18:42 Nate            I'm a bit of a fan if you haven't noticed
18:42 wizzyrea        no doubt, but that's great
18:42 Nate            they better not mess it up
18:42 Nate            best news ive heard all day
18:41 chris           speaking of the hobbit, the movie is all go again
18:41 Nate            hi gmcharlt
18:41 chris           hehe
18:41 gmcharlt        hi Nate
18:41 Nate            kinda like when the hobbits returned home to the shire only to find it walled off and scoured by the evils of industrialization
18:40 Nate            crazy about all of this liblime stuff
18:40 chris           excellent :)
18:39 chris_n         heh
18:38 Nate            submerged in the bywater
18:38 Nate            loving every minute of it
18:38 chris           Nate: hows it going? keeping ya busy?
18:38 chris           wizzyrea: yeah, thats pretty nasty
18:38 Nate            yes sir
18:38 chris           (fulltime that is)
18:38 chris           this your second week at bywater nate?
18:37 wizzyrea        it's kind of telling to me that "community" is being demonized :(
18:37 Nate            dunno what happened there
18:37 Nate            hey chris!
18:37 chris           wb Nate
18:36 wizzyrea        which is no small group... would barely fit in our large meeting room
18:36 jdavidb         There are more people in that "small group" than there are that *work* for LibLime.
18:36 wizzyrea        yea, you mean... the 60 or so of us that were here yesterady?
18:36 chris           the only thing that annoys me, is the reducing anyone who disagrees with liblime to "a small group of developers" the rest of the FUD doesnt worry me so much
18:35 gmcharlt        ;)
18:35 * wizzyrea      apologizes profusely
18:35 wizzyrea        oh... sorry
18:35 gmcharlt        I just had lunch :(
18:35 jdavidb         eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwww  liz!
18:35 wizzyrea        perhaps especially not there
18:35 wizzyrea        not even in the blender, gmcharlt?
18:35 * gmcharlt      dislikes mixing baloney and kool-aid
18:35 wizzyrea        i hear that red40 causes hyperactivity. maybe that's the problem
18:34 chris           hehe
18:34 * jdavidb       has a very advanced model of Baloney Detector, so is mostly immune to Kool-Aid.
18:33 * chris_n       is always leery about drinking koolaid
18:33 chris           yes
18:33 wizzyrea        "THEY"RE LYING!! THEY DON"T CARE ABOUT YOU!!"
18:32 wizzyrea        the things this guy says are practically proxies for what a certain CEO would say
18:32 wizzyrea        yea, it's like
18:32 chris           oh?
18:29 wizzyrea        selling*
18:29 wizzyrea        oh wow... someone's on the kool aid selilng path again

18:22 chris           forgot that bit
18:22 chris           oh except that time .. when katipo decided to write an ils just for fun, then forced HLT to use it
18:20 chris           hmm yeah, i dont think i have added a feature not asked for by a librarian either
18:18 chris           oh? missed that
18:18 chris_n         interesting comms on code4lib earlier
18:18 chris           ahh, and misinformation being spread on the LL users list too
18:18 * chris         reads back
18:18 chris           i have had correspondence with him since, and thought he might be getting it, but nope, it appears not
18:17 chris           yes
18:17 chris_n         chris: Is this the same Ben that posted on your blog the other day?
18:17 chris           his library is a WALDO member
18:17 chris           http://www.educause.edu/Community/MemDir/Profiles/BenIde/122774
18:16 * chris_n       wonders just who "Ben Ide" is
18:10 * jdavidb       suggests we take up a collection, and mail Ben Ide a big box of clues.
18:09 chris           i feel that someone rebut his small group of programmers, but i cant cos im a programmer so my opinion doesnt count
18:08 chris           jdavidb: the wh sound in maori close to an f
18:07 chris           ben ide is back
18:06 chris           http://www.libraryjournal.com/blog/1090000309/post/1050048905.html
18:05 chris           *sigh*
18:04 Ropuch          Good evening
17:25 ColinC          Agreed. It would be pointless to do it in a library system
17:23 wizzyrea        which I find to be laughable
17:22 wizzyrea        because there is an implication elsewhere that the community codes features based on personal desire, and not for the benefit or at the direction of librarians
17:22 wizzyrea        ok, I just wanted to ask
17:22 wizzyrea        like adding a "checkin all" button or local holds
17:21 wizzyrea        i'm not talking about bugfixes, but features
17:14 jdavidb         I've fixed a number of dodgy things that bugged me that librarians wouldn't have ever known about (like the annoying message out of rebuild_zebra that I patched last week).  But no big features.
17:10 jdavidb         Not a full feature, no.
17:09 wizzyrea        have any of you ever coded a feature for koha that wasn't asked for by librarians?
16:51 sekjal          I should get the details of the KUDOS meeting at ALA 09, and pass them along.  previous KUDOS meetings were listed
16:50 wizzyrea        well, sure :P
16:49 sekjal          events have, of course, transpired since then.
16:49 sekjal          at least up to Sept 6
16:47 wizzyrea        not the most prosaic history, but complete for sure
16:47 * jdavidb       snaps his fingers.  sekjal beat me to the most complete one.
16:47 wizzyrea        yes, indeed.
16:46 sekjal          http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=blob;f=docs/history.txt
16:46 wizzyrea        most descriptive, thorough web posting regarding said history?
16:45 wizzyrea        somebody: best link to koha history?
16:45 wizzyrea        I think the internet has corrupted me though.
16:44 wizzyrea        I'm like the mashup english major
16:44 wizzyrea        but everyone always knows what I mean so...
16:44 wizzyrea        my husband always laughs at me because I was an english major... but I always make up words
16:44 jdavidb         Oh, absolutely, wizzyrea...I knew exactly what you meant.  Just never heard it before.   :P
16:43 wizzyrea        come on, you don't find skeeve to be absolutely conveying what I meant, regardless of it's actual existence as a word?
16:06 munin`          jdavidb: No definition for "skeeve" could be found.
16:06 jdavidb         @dict skeeve
16:03 wizzyrea        rhcl: good idea
15:56 jdavidb         "torque"
15:55 rhcl            use "piece" as in , "piece them off"
15:55 wizzyrea        *sigh*
15:55 wizzyrea        but I just said it so
15:54 wizzyrea        well I didn't think it was quite appropriate to "piss them off"
15:53 * jdavidb       reads the scrollback, and laughs at wizzyrea's way of speech.  "skeeving people off?"   :P
15:51 kf              ok, time to go home (to perhaps finally start working on my slides :( ) - thx and bye :)
15:50 owen            Alright, long afternoon-killing meeting approaching. Time to eat a nap-inducing lunch.
15:49 owen            Yeah, jdavidb that might be better
15:48 jdavidb         I heard him pronounce it close to "hore-ah-when-wah", but he was talking fast; I could be wrong.
15:46 wizzyrea        hehe
15:46 kf              afraid people will ask :)
15:46 owen            Very pragmatic :)
15:46 kf              I considered writing horowhenua on my slide and just speaking of hlt...
15:45 owen            And "Hore - ah - when -ah" I believe, but chris would be able to say more accurately
15:45 kf              ok, that mathes how it would be pronounced in German
15:45 kf              owen: thx - giving my first koha presentation on tuesday and start to doubt everything
15:44 jdavidb         The O is long, like in "owen," but pulled back in the throat a little.  the a is like the a in "father."
15:44 owen            "Koh'-hah" is how I've always heard it
15:42 kf              droo pahl bringt me to something, how do you pronounce koha and horowhenua?
15:42 wizzyrea        among other things
15:42 wizzyrea        yes, their emPHAsis is on the wrong syllAble
15:42 owen            Sounds like RuPaul
15:41 * owen          too
15:41 wizzyrea        i get so annoyed when people say "droo pahl
15:41 wizzyrea        ok, that's what I thought
15:41 owen            http://drupal.org/node/769
15:41 owen            'The name Drupal, pronounced "droo-puhl," derives from the English pronunciation of the Dutch word "druppel," which means "drop."'
15:41 wizzyrea        or droolpool
15:40 wizzyrea        <3
15:40 chris_n         drool pool maybe
15:40 wizzyrea        phonetically, droo pahl, or droo pal, or droo pul
15:39 wizzyrea        ok, poll
15:39 * owen          should be buried in Drupal themes, but koha drama keeps distracting him
15:39 wizzyrea        based on the immediate goals of the community re: what the foundation should do
15:38 owen            A discussion has been started on the subject of the Koha Foundation, and the first post showed some misconceptions
15:38 gmcharlt        owen: alas!  you've discovered my secret plot to turn Koha into a fire station management system!
15:38 kf              ah ok, no problem
15:38 owen            Sorry kf, we're discussing a message on a mailing list for Liblime customers
15:37 kf              which post are you talking about?
15:37 owen            Like that shiny pole leading from cataloging to circulation?
15:37 owen            I don't know, it seems like gmcharlt has been approving an awful lot of firemen-oriented features lately.
15:36 wizzyrea        wtf.
15:36 wizzyrea        who exactly do they think is commissioning all of the other features? Firemen?
15:35 wizzyrea        *ducks and covers*
15:35 wizzyrea        ok, I sent it
15:35 owen            Exactly.
15:35 wizzyrea        and what 3.2 even is, for that matter
15:35 wizzyrea        like, I"m not sure they are really clear on who the RM is for 3.2
15:35 wizzyrea        I think they've been told lots of things
15:34 owen            "LibLime is the only company doing librarian-driven development?" What have they been telling people?
15:33 owen            Besides, that post REALLY needed to be rebutted.
15:33 wizzyrea        fair enough, I'll send it :)
15:33 owen            I'd love to have your version posted too. Everyone on that list is sick of my ranting by now
15:33 wizzyrea        :)
15:32 wizzyrea        you're way to fast, and I'm too concerned with not skeeving people off
15:32 owen            :)
15:32 wizzyrea        almost verbatim!
15:32 wizzyrea        dangit owen, I was SO writing that message!
15:13 gmcharlt        ok
15:12 jwagner         Got a fix coming for my XSLT/syspref patch that you just pushed -- one of our people spotted a duplicated line which means the record count is getting doubled.
15:11 gmcharlt        jwagner: yep
15:11 jwagner         gmcharlt, around?
15:02 |Lupin|         bye all
14:34 * chris_n       wishes the first menu item in all context menus was 'Paste'
14:33 chris_n         hdl_laptop: I run an AD domain here; I might be able to do some AD auth tests, but it will be later this week or weekend
14:12 jdavidb         yabetcha.  :)
14:12 jwagner         Thanks, that seems to have done it.
14:11 jdavidb         yes.
14:11 jwagner         With the semicolon?
14:11 jdavidb         &amp;  ?
14:10 jwagner         XSLT question -- how do you escape a character?  I'm putting together a string in XSLT (continuing the SFX link thing) that includes an ampersand, and XSLT does not like the ampersand at all.  I've tried \& but that doesn't work.  What's the escape code?
13:57 gmcharlt        that's fine
13:57 hdl_laptop      But I can do t/db_dependant
13:56 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: oh, I'm sure - I'm just being lazy and hoping you'll convert it to a test case so that I don't have to ;)
13:56 * jdavidb       gets grumpy with his typo-ridden keyboard.
13:56 hdl_laptop      But t/lib is still a bit noisy for me.
13:56 hdl_laptop      gmcharlt: I am already convinced how Usefull it could be.
13:55 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: no, I don't have AD
13:55 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: any chance I could get you to convert that example file from the bug to a test case?
13:55 hdl_laptop      gmcharlt: do you have a MSActive Directory Test ?
13:54 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: cool
13:54 hdl_laptop      gmcharlt: tested : No problems with diacritics
13:54 jdavidb         No librarians in our house, at all--and no librarians, either...just a geek who's learned much from them.  :)
13:53 chris_n         owen: in that case, my wife must be a librarian because I never use a phone book ;-)
13:50 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: a quick test to see if a diacritic in an item field gets handled correctly is in order, then
13:49 hdl_laptop      gmcharlt: in fact, 100$a is breaking the udpate, so I had to choose
13:49 owen            That's why my wife never uses the phone book!
13:49 owen            :D
13:49 schuster        Why find it yourself with librarians around ;)
13:49 schuster        thanks
13:49 owen            http://www.libraryjournal.com/blog/1090000309/post/1050048905.html
13:48 schuster        Owen - what's the link to Roy Tennants post?
13:27 gmcharlt        add just have a routine that parses a MARC item tag to a hashref and use only ModItem to do the actual updating
13:26 * gmcharlt      is also thinking that we could fairly easily get rid of ModItemFromMarc entirely
13:24 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: looks OK on first glance, but is there going to be an issue stripping away a UNIMARC 100 that presumably contains the UTF8 flag?
13:19 hdl_laptop      and sent the patch
13:19 hdl_laptop      gmcharlt: I just reported a bug in ModItemFromMarc
13:19 * gmcharlt      doesn't have an AD setup, though
13:19 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: making sure it works with MS Active Directory would be the acid test - that's been driving a lot of the changes
13:18 hdl_laptop      Is there a way to try and test those ?
13:17 hdl_laptop      gmcharlt: would it be really harmful to rely on dn compared with a manually input string ?
13:02 jdavidb         Indeed.
13:01 owen            Wow, Roy Tennant's post is no-holds-barred.
13:00 jdavidb         Yes, I'll be sending a message out once I get it standing up.  We've got a *lot* of WIPs, so it may take a while to get them all up there, but I have several in mind to toss out at once.
13:00 gmcharlt        jdavidb++
12:59 owen            You could even submit a news item to koha.org :)
12:59 owen            That's great to hear jdavidb. Will you be publicizing it on the mailing list?
12:58 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: I'm not sure about simply removing the principal_name LDAP config setting - I'm pretty sure it's in use
12:58 jdavidb         Since I've been asked about it several times, I'll say it here:  PTFS will be opening a public git repo for our works-in-progress in the next few days.
12:57 jdavidb         owen, even.  :P
12:57 jdavidb         That's a kind way to put it, owne.
12:56 owen            Some interesting but so far insubstantial communication from LibLime yesterday.
12:54 owen            Hi
12:54 chris_n         morning owen
12:42 jdavidb         Indeed.
12:42 schuster        I go home and all kinds of things happen!
12:41 jdavidb         Mornin', Nate. :)
12:41 Nate            Good Morning Everyone!
12:40 hdl_laptop      gmcharlt: sent
12:20 gmcharlt        I got a ping from Amit asking about a DB error on installation from the maintenance branch, but he dropped out before he gave me any details
12:19 gmcharlt        and then time to try a fresh install of the 3.0.4 candidate, then an upgrade
12:19 gmcharlt        ok, I'll test and it push it once it's on the patches list
12:18 hdl_laptop      Apart from that problem on Auth_with_ldap
12:18 hdl_laptop      gmcharlt: we might have finished that.
12:18 hdl_laptop      good night
12:15 gmcharlt        g'night
12:15 kf              good night chris
12:15 chris           cya in 8 hours or so
12:15 chris           have a good day #koha
12:14 chris           and with that, im gonna hit the hay
12:14 chris           at least from what i can tell
12:14 chris           i think we are pretty much done
12:13 gmcharlt        ?
12:13 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: btw, how are you getting on the with the cherry-picking for 3.0.4
12:13 gmcharlt        email it to the patches list, please
12:11 hdl_laptop      Not on public but I can send it to you if you need
12:11 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: is your latest Auth_with_ldap.pm patch in any of the BL trees?
11:55 kf              good morning jdavidb
11:55 jdavidb         Good morning #koha.  :)
11:38 jwagner         hi chris
11:37 chris           hii jwagner
11:22 gmcharlt        paul_p: ping
11:21 |Lupin|         back
11:20 Ropuch          Opac is quite quick&easy to translate, intranet would be an issue ;>
11:19 chris           so finishing it is a good plan
11:19 chris           i use the file from 3.0.x as the base for creating one for 3.2.x
11:18 chris           *nod*
11:18 Ropuch          chris: i was just curious, want to finish 3.00.X first
11:13 chris           i can set it up
11:13 chris           bear in mind those will still change a bit before the string freeze, but if you are ok with that
11:12 chris           and i will do it
11:12 chris           Ropuch: you ask on koha-translate
11:11 * chris_n2      heads out; bbiab
11:10 chris_n2        re: multiple posts.... after the second or third I suffer from buffer overrun
11:10 Ropuch          Hm, how can i add 3.1/3.2 opac in certain language to projects on pootle?
11:09 chris_n2        or leech
11:09 slef            or leak?
11:09 slef            pronounced letch?
11:08 chris_n2        "LEK".... lol
11:07 chris           hiya chris_n2
11:07 chris_n2        g'morning
11:07 slef            if they post the same question again and again, or to every list they can find, the duplicate filter usually kicks in and hides it :)
11:05 chris           oh yes, i wait til the 38th time i see a question before i answer it
11:05 chris           it never ceases to amaze that people think if they post the same question again and again on the mailing list, someone will magically answer it
10:53 chris           20:28 < paul_p> (don't use the term "Koha" ;-) )
10:53 chris           20:28  * paul_p suggest to call LL fork "LEK"
10:53 chris           heh
10:52 slef            chris: scrollback is on another server until it is emailed to me.  This IRC setup is freaky.
10:52 magnusenger     chris: cool! ;-)
10:51 chris           magnusenger: yes that is indeed the right south park episode :)
10:51 chris           scroll back slef, you will see paul talking bout LEK
10:50 slef            OIC BFE TLAs
10:49 gmcharlt        LibLime Enterprise K*ha
10:49 slef            LEK?
10:49 chris           LEK does not equal Red Hat
10:48 chris           slef: doing so would be good, it would be yet one more public repo
10:48 chris           what is with people and the red hat forked linux crud?
10:47 chris           http://ianhaydock.wordpress.com/2009/09/16/uncertainty-in-the-koha-community/
10:45 slef            thanks... currently trying to make the case for using gitorious to get small fixes out of the co-op sooner
10:43 chris           the rest are topic branches
10:43 chris           slef: originmaster tracks git.koha.org/master
10:40 chris           done
10:40 slef            thanks
10:40 slef            username is slef
10:38 chris           slef: its all up to date now, and will add you as a user (and anyone else) when i know user names
10:34 chris           morning gmcharlt
10:33 gmcharlt        good morning
10:31 chris           :)
10:23 slef            let me go register ;-)
10:23 chris           slef?
10:23 chris           whats ur username
10:19 * chris         likes having backups everywhere
10:19 chris           but yep you can have access i havent pushed in a while tho
10:19 chris           i have one on github too
10:19 chris           its one of mine
10:17 slef            chris: is http://gitorious.org/koha yours and can I have access, please?  Or should we just ditch it?
10:04 |Lupin|         (lunch time here, bbl)
10:04 |Lupin|         thanks all !
10:04 |Lupin|         actually I think our librarian has problems with her browser who didn't perhaps re-submit the query...
10:04 |Lupin|         o...
10:04 chris           cant find any obvious syspref
10:03 chris           none of those have items
10:03 chris           http://opac.koha.workbuffer.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=fish
10:02 kf              perhaps searchmylibraryfirst or something like that?
10:02 chris           yes
10:02 chris           even for biblios have no items at all
10:02 |Lupin|         chris: for the biblios without an item ?
10:02 chris           mine certainly returns results
10:01 chris           2 secs ill check
10:00 |Lupin|         couldn't find any syspref for the moment
10:00 |Lupin|         hmm it seems our KOha only returns those biblios for which there is at least one item available, in opac searches. s this behaviour configurable, pls ?
09:46 magnusenger     you beat me to the RT, chris ;-)
09:45 chris           and told him he should come on irc more .. and that i agree with most, except i dont see the foundation as a big problem, rather as a big opportunity :)
09:44 chris           yep, just retweet miromurr :)
09:44 magnusenger     http://lib1point5.wordpress.com/2009/09/16/where-goes-koha/
08:58 chris           i think the release notes for 3.2 will serve as the best PR
08:58 Colin           Limes are not the only fruit
08:58 paul_p          s/features/facts/
08:58 paul_p          we could "copy/paste" the complete PR, just changing some key features.
08:58 chris           :)
08:58 paul_p          something like "BibLibre, Catalyst, ByWaters, Tamil, PTFS, PTFS-Europe announces Community Library Koha". CLK is build on over ten years of completed customer-sponsored development. This free software, available on cloud or local hosting will also give regulare release ,...
08:56 * paul_p        think we could release a PR announcing CLK, on exactly the same schema as PR for LEK. That would be funny.
08:54 chris           hehe
08:54 kf              ;)
08:54 kf              CLK?
08:49 paul_p          I think we should advertise on "Community Library Koha" ;-)
08:44 |Lupin|         well spotted kf !
08:42 chris           yep
08:42 kf              ah. liblime enterprise koha?
08:41 kf              LEK?
08:38 chris           http://git.biblibre.com/gitstat/tags.html is a good stat too
08:35 |Lupin|         hi Amit
08:31 Amit            hi lupin, paul_p
08:31 * |Lupin|       wishes he could say good night too and go to bed, unfortuntely the day just starts here...
08:28 paul_p          (don't use the term "Koha" ;-) )
08:27 * paul_p        suggest to call LL fork "LEK"
08:27 snail           night all
08:23 chris           and its all true
08:23 chris           just read it
08:15 paul_p          chris:mail sent
08:12 Michael         Thanks for everyone's help too.
08:12 Michael         Night all, for anyone interested in the issue I had earlier (hiding the OPAC search form until users have logged in), I will be posting a solution to the mailing list soon.
08:05 kf              hi |Lupin|
07:59 |Lupin|         hi
07:34 chris           :)
07:34 Ropuch          But translating with gpoedit and opac open at the same time is worth it ;>
07:33 Ropuch          Hm, twinview is acting little strange
07:28 chris           and happy to see lots of repo's being added to the wiki
07:27 chris           i am happy that others have said that
07:25 chris           i think echoing the call for a public repo is good too, it seems everyone wants that
07:25 chris           ahh :)
07:24 paul_p          I will answer josh mail, on this, and on many other topics
07:23 paul_p          (I thought you wanted a PR)
07:23 paul_p          my answer it much different then. yes, we must answer (and on the mailing list)
07:22 paul_p          hi chris (I hadn't seen josh mail on koha ML before answering to your question.
07:19 chris           i commented on this one, pointing out how biblibre had helped, it must be waiting moderation :)

06:56 chris           no problem sing out if you get stuck
06:56 Michael         OK, I'll try it out, I'm still learning so I'll take it easy. Thanks for your help.
06:50 chris           then add to one of the sysprefs to tell it to be loaded
06:50 chris           call it cookie.js
06:50 chris           essentially you jsut grab that file
06:49 Michael         Sorry, I was away from irc. I haven't used plugins but I'll see if I can get it working.
06:45 * chris         will reply to your email
06:45 chris           does that make sense?
06:43 chris           }
06:43 chris           hide the search box
06:43 chris           if (!cookie){
06:43 chris           then you can do  var cookie = $.cookie("CGISESSID");
06:42 Michael         Thanks, I'll take a look. Cheers!
06:42 Ropuch          chris: yes :)
06:41 chris           Michael: you want to use http://plugins.jquery.com/project/cookie

06:34 SelfishMan      howdy
06:34 chris           evening all
06:09 Michael         Thanks, I've just put the question to the mailing list.
06:06 pianohacker     Good night, everybody
06:00 pianohacker     It might be possible with jQuery, though it'd be a little roundabout
05:59 Ropuch          Michael: i think you have to edit tmpl a little bit
05:57 Ropuch          Morning everybody
05:54 Michael         No problems, that's fair enough. Thanks, I might try the mainling list then.
05:54 pianohacker     (apologies)
05:54 pianohacker     I'd normally be able to help, but it is far to late for me to be thinking clearly enough
05:53 pianohacker     Owen Leonard, the jQuery expert, is asleep right now
05:53 pianohacker     Michael32424234: That might be a better question for the mailing list
05:53 Michael32424234 Hi all, I'm just trying to make an adjustment on an OPAC. Is there a way to hide the 'search' form/buttons from users who have not logged in yet? Also, can it be done without editing the templates? (using jscript is fine) Thanks!
04:36 chris           of even
04:36 chris           thats the only other thing i can think og
04:35 thd             I think that it could not be otherwise but I had fallen asleep the night before last when I was about to check the logs properly.
04:34 chris           hmm, the access logs confirm it going through the virtual host you expect it to be?
04:34 thd             So then where can the problem be.
04:33 chris           cool
04:33 thd             So yes I have confirmed that the problem is not in the browser.
04:33 chris           curl doesnt remember, browsers do
04:33 chris           which often it will keep doing, even if you dont want it too
04:33 thd             Oh I see.
04:33 chris           well it does tell you its not your browser doing it
04:32 thd             chris: reading the headers tells me nothing other than what I already know that the Apache proxy is still redirecting to a commented out redirect.
04:28 chris           http://code.google.com/p/gource/  <--andrew works with me .. and we tried this on koha git .. its way way cool ;)
04:27 chris           for trying to spot what is going on
04:26 chris           handy
04:26 chris           curl -I url
04:26 chris           i also find
04:26 thd             I cannot remember but I will try that now
04:26 chris           ?
04:26 chris           tried a full stop-start
04:25 thd             I restart Apache and have no effect
04:25 chris           hmm
04:25 thd             that is after I remove the proxying and attempt to redirect a subdomain it still points to the same proxied service.
04:25 chris           right
04:24 thd             after several problems, I know seem to have some proxying stuck in Apache.
04:24 chris           fire away
04:23 thd             chris: perhaps you have some insight into my problem
04:23 chris           i am glad pointed out that the redhat analogy is false (well 2 people did)
04:23 thd             chris: I have been having some trouble with my new website
04:23 chris           one fight at a time :)
04:23 thd             good night brendan
04:22 chris           cant win them all
04:22 thd-foraging    Unfortunately, Roy Tennant has defended the closed nature of the OCLC record sharing policy as if it had been actually encouraging openness.
04:22 brendan         Goodnight #koha
04:07 chris           brendan: http://www.librarian.net/stax/3022/whats-going-on-with-koha-and-liblime/
03:58 brendan         hello amit
03:18 Amit            hi richard, snail
03:17 richard         hi amit and snail
03:16 snail           morning Amit
03:11 chris           hi amit
03:10 Amit            good morning #koha
03:10 Amit            hi chris, brendan
03:05 chris_n2        g'night
03:04 chris_n2        well, I got bash script and git playing nice together so I think it's time for bed
02:58 chris           s/point/post/
02:58 chris           hmm that wasnt the one i was thinking of, but its a good point nonetheless
02:40 chris           http://blogs.liblime.com/developers/2009/04/19/tips-tricks-from-koha-developers/
02:40 * chris_n2      always uses putty from win32 boxes :-)
02:40 chris           chris_n2: i use something similair to that, atz wrote a blog post on it
02:39 snail           chris_n2: only use fance colours if you always connect from a linux machine. if you're connecting from random windows boxes using random clients enough of them get ansii colour wrong for it to be a pain
02:36 chris_n2        displays branch and status in your shell prompt
02:35 chris_n2        here's a cool git prompt: http://www.bramschoenmakers.nl/en/node/624
02:18 chris_n2        echo `/usr/lib/git-core/git-branch` results in a listing of the current directory.... weirdness indeed
02:16 chris_n2        think shell scripting: why does "echo $(`/usr/lib/git-core/git-branch`)" result in "line 2: 0001-Bug-2500-Correcting-incorrect-splitting-of-cutter-nu.patch: command not found" (the failed attempt to execute the first file in the dir as a command???)?
01:54 slef            network gone unstable, going away again
01:45 slef            not what I expected :(
01:44 chris           hehe
01:44 chris           ah yes
01:43 chris           slef: you just sent one?
01:43 chris           but any new files, perltidy away :)
01:43 slef            chris: enjoy the end of my spi-private email.
01:43 chris           if we start that practice, it should be right after a release, cos whitespace changes make diffs really hard to read
01:42 chris_n2        what might really be cool would be to have a hook to call a perl tidy on commit
01:40 chris_n2        script is probably best, as you suggest
01:40 chris_n2        I think 'git rebase origin some-work' && 'git rebase origin master' would do, but leave me in 'master'
01:38 chris           and call that from crontab
01:38 chris           id prolly write a bash script
01:38 chris           ahhh
01:37 chris_n2        ie. current branch is 'some-work' but I want crontab to rebase 'master' and 'some-work'
01:37 chris_n2        any thoughts on a line for crontab git fetch && git rebase for multiple branches?
01:36 chris           yep, some nice patches coming in from ptfs europe
01:36 chris_n2        sorry :-O
01:36 chris_n2        opps... colin campbell
01:36 * chris         looks at git log
01:35 chris           ohh, that wasnt me i dont think
01:35 chris_n2        Update some DBI interactions
01:35 chris_n2        your dbi patch
01:34 chris           what'd i do?
01:33 chris_n2        a bunch of code could benefit from improvements like those in chris 's patch
01:30 chris           chris_n2++
01:28 gmcharlt        chris_n2++
01:27 chris_n2        and 'snap'... there they are
01:26 chris           those patches will make a lot of catalogers happy
01:26 chris           hehe
01:26 chris_n2        it's sort of funny: the patches for correcting cutter number splitting will probably hit the main repo before they are applied to our production koha server locally.
01:22 chris_n2        cool... more pressure
01:21 chris           another public vendor repo hits the wiki http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?do=show&id=en:development:git_repos
01:20 * chris_n2      has plans to trash the pbx and put his asterisk test server into production
01:20 chris_n2        asterisk++
01:18 gmcharlt        depends on the quality of the data in the catalog, I suppose
01:17 slef            hrm, some clients aren't happy when they get a simple voicemail... wonder what they'd think if an LMS answered :-D
01:16 gmcharlt        well, what's he waiting for!?  slef's phones need answering ;)
01:15 chris           that was something reed wanted to do
01:15 chris           funny you should say that
01:15 gmcharlt        just as soon as somebody contributes an Asterisk plugin
01:14 slef            cool. Can it answer my phones, please? ;-)
01:14 gmcharlt        slef: Koha is awake 24 hours a day
01:13 slef            thinking I'd be unnoticed... I should know better than to doubt #koha's powers of observation
01:13 chris           ahh :)
01:13 slef            here I was adding random thoughts when I wake up in the middle of the night
01:13 slef            ok, unlocked
01:11 * chris_n2      cheers slef on
01:11 chris_n2        this is the fourth (and last) time, but somehow it seems to have been just as much a challenge as the first :-P
01:10 chris           we are nearly there
01:10 chris           woo hoo
01:09 chris_n2        chris: btw, my 3 year old has moved out of nappies and into training pants.... yay!
01:08 chris           :)
01:08 * chris_n2      looks around for his superpotamus suit
01:06 chris_n2        actually he adds some stuff as we chat
01:06 munin`          chris: slef was last seen in #koha 4 hours, 36 minutes, and 27 seconds ago: <slef> gmcharlt: #include <joke/merge-branch-fork-child>
01:06 chris           @seen slef
01:06 chris           wow, he's up late, maybe he fell asleep at the keyboard
01:05 * chris_n2      finds himself locked out by slef :-)
01:03 chris_n2        maybe the geocentric theory had its merits
01:03 chris           :)
01:03 chris_n2        they would be more like the universe and we the planet.... whereas SPI, HLT are more like the sun and we the planet.... in the koha foundation scenario, however, the universe revolves around the planet - koha... ;-)
01:00 chris           yeah
01:00 chris_n2        their purpose appears very broad and much more related to the overall library picture
00:59 * chris_n2      agrees
00:59 chris           the=they
00:59 chris           i dont think it is even something the would be interested in doing
00:58 chris_n2        it really does not have any sort of mechanism that I can find whereby 'we' would 'join' as a community/committee/etc
00:58 chris           *nod*
00:57 chris_n2        the closest thing I can find is a "Special Interest Group" dealing w/libraries and web 2.0: http://www.ifla.org/en/libraries-and-web2dotzero
00:57 chris           (i agree mind you, just playing devils advocate)
00:57 chris           even temporary?
00:57 chris_n2        ifla does not really look like it does what we would be looking for in a foundation
00:38 chris           cya brendan
00:38 brendan         later #koha -- be back in a bit :)
00:34 chris           http://www.wheelers.co.nz/books/9781869438739-superpotamus/
00:34 richard         heh
00:33 chris           superpotamus is a good one :)
00:33 chris           awesome
00:29 * chris_n2      wanders off to read his 3 year old a book
00:17 chris           its a wiki :)
00:17 chris           i reckon so
00:17 chris_n2        is everyone free to add pros and cons to the comparison chart of foundations? http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=kohaheldbyfoundation
