Let me ask my folks 21:47 schuster I know it is a matter of "just adding another location" but wanted to make sure there aren't other things that need to be "setup" 21:46 schuster Do you have specific instructions on things you do when you add another location? Instructions written down? 21:44 schuster ok wizzyrea - I think I've asked you this, but need to bring it back to the forfront. 21:38 schuster drat missed her. 21:37 schuster jwagner around? 21:32 hdl_laptop I have to go to bed. 21:29 hdl_laptop Nothing to do with user tagging 21:29 hdl_laptop chris_n those tage you are referring to are merly subjects in the biblio displayed as tag cloud. 21:20 owen tags yes, but I think build_browser_and_cloud.pl looks at subject headings 21:20 chris_n bbl 21:19 chris_n schuster: I think tags were done by LL iirc 21:18 Ropuch I'm gonna make "Worst on-hold music of teh decade" some day ;. 21:17 wizzyrea not that those aren't wonderful, but it's kind of annoying hold music, mostly because flutes don't translate so well over the phone 21:16 wizzyrea it's like a kids lullaby cd or something 21:16 wizzyrea wowie, our local ISP has the worst on hold music ever 21:16 wizzyrea schuster: definitely. I think if we self hosted we would still cloud host it 21:16 schuster OK - thanks chris I understand what you are saying... need both though!!! speed to deal with the verification. 21:16 * owen knows not this "irl" you speak of. Until quitting time. 21:15 wizzyrea ooh, the morning tea break 21:15 chris back later 21:15 chris ok gotta go talk to ppl irl 21:15 chris because then it will just occur less frequently 21:15 schuster wizzyrea - yes that also makes your life easier in dealing with servers and pointing the finger - can you get to google? no then call your isp... 21:15 chris speeding up is just glossing over the problem 21:14 chris yeah thats a bug, the fix is to make the title not show up until it is verified being returned 21:14 SelfishMan wizzyrea: the cloud makes sense for that 21:14 schuster swears they saw every title come up on the screen. When it is multiple campus' I tend to believe the librarians. 21:14 wizzyrea with 30 different ISP's 21:14 schuster What I'm trying to get around is why we have items that are not getting checked in. We have a very busy morning daily and 3-5 items depending on the day don't get checked in even when the librarian 21:14 wizzyrea We have 30 geographically separate libraries using the same catalog, it's a compelling reason to cloud host. 21:12 schuster That was the exact reason we host internally. We have a huge pipe, but when everyone is doing pandora it becomes a very full pipe. I don't want to compete and our networking people won't "carve" for specific purposes. 21:11 wizzyrea that is a compelling reason to host internal 21:11 schuster chris_n I believe that was an item Biblibre designed??? 21:11 SelfishMan I ned a new keyboard 21:11 SelfishMan schuster: we have major bandwidth issues at my library so I had to deploy in house for the catalog to even be acessible 21:10 schuster They already have a couple Middletown I believe is self hosted they tried the cloud and it was tooo slow for them. 21:10 schuster SelfishMan++ I am selfhosted... 21:04 chris_n from build_browser_and_cloud.pl 21:04 chris_n hmm... "-t TTT to define the MARC fields/subfield to use to fill the tag cloud. If not defined, the cloud table won't be filled." 21:04 chris but i might be wrong 21:04 chris im not sure they are stored in any 21:03 chris_n what marc field are tags stored in by koha? 21:03 * chris_n has encouraged a client he does work for to do the same when the contract is up 21:03 chris_n non-renewal++ 21:03 SelfishMan the question is if the new owners will carry the self-hosted people with support contracts 21:02 chris SelfishMan++ 21:01 SelfishMan not when choosing not to renew a contract and very carefully stating why is so much more effective 21:01 chris i hope they are smart enough too, otherwise i fear for LL clients 21:01 SelfishMan wizzyrea: not worth blogging about. 21:01 chris hopefully the soon to be owners of LL .. will realise the good business decision is to return to the model that got LL to where it was, before it forked and imploded 21:00 SelfishMan greed is a better definition 21:00 schuster conference stuff - Screen captures are good with voiceover - when I digitized I enhanced the sound quality before exporting them. 21:00 chris and ppl sitting on the fence 21:00 chris there is a landgrab .. and people trying to resist that 20:59 chris there are no politics involved 20:59 wizzyrea by them 20:59 chris its not even that, its greed 20:59 wizzyrea You should blog about the bad situation you've been put in :P 20:59 SelfishMan fscking politics 20:59 chris you and me both 20:59 SelfishMan this whole thing is a mess and I'm beyond fed up with it 20:58 schuster nengard - flips that we have each hold 1 hour and we didn't have them last year when I DV'd all of that. Then I had to get it off the DV into a usable format for the web. 20:58 wizzyrea well, "a little" = 60 or so DB revisions 20:57 wizzyrea I think that's only a little behind where we are 20:57 chris ah that would explain it 20:57 wizzyrea HAHA shock. 20:57 SelfishMan former liblime contract 20:57 chris thats like early early 3.2.x 20:57 chris yeah, thats not even 3.0.x 20:56 SelfishMan Worse is that I'm trying to support someone running 3.01.00.009 20:55 chris it points you to 3.0.2 20:55 chris go to the download page on there 20:55 chris its worse than that 20:55 SelfishMan 3.0.4 is the latest on koha.org but that didn't seem right 20:55 SelfishMan That's what I thought. 20:54 wizzyrea 3.0.5 20:54 SelfishMan What is the latest official release? 20:36 chris_n switched it on and had various problems with the first block being positioned incorrectly 20:36 chris_n switched FB off and the "." worked as advertised 20:34 owen Oh yeah? 20:34 chris_n owen: would you believe that the 'content: ".";' issue is firebug related? 20:23 chris o 20:23 chris they are all being recorded to 20:23 wizzyrea oh I was finally kind of able to get the 56k stream 20:20 chris i recommend if yu have the time, to watch it, he is a super smart guy 20:20 chris talking about freedom 20:20 chris http://www.lca2010.org.nz/programme/schedule/video/mfc 20:19 chris benjamin 'mako' hill up now 20:18 Ropuch :) 20:18 chris_n neat 20:17 wizzyrea hehe nice 20:17 chris i won a book yesterday, koha is cleaning up at linux conf :) 20:16 sekjal nice! congrats to bob 20:16 chris bob from calyx just won a netbook 20:04 richard hi chris 20:03 chris back 19:33 richard hiya chris_n 19:33 chris_n howdy richard 19:31 richard hi 19:23 sekjal the goal is for KUDOS to eventually receive grant money for developing Koha, and solicit bids from developers to do the work. so long as people aren't in a position where they can award themselves any of the money, we should be just fine 19:18 slef sekjal: thanks. If it's anything like the UK, as long as the non-profit is not engaging in trading, it's actually fine and people are a lot more scared about it than they need to be, which ends up in needlessly discriminating against the working class. 19:04 chris_n sekjal: tnx 18:51 sekjal later, chris 18:50 chris bbl 18:50 chris ok bus time 18:43 chris thanks for that 18:43 sekjal Once Vicki gets safely back, we can get her notes summed up and distributed. I just wanted to say something quickly to address the concerns of the community 18:42 chris makes sense 18:40 sekjal but we determined that could be more effectively handled at the policy level than the bylaws level, since we'll have to submit conflict of interest policy document, in either case 18:39 gmcharlt sekjal++ 18:38 sekjal we were trying hard to avoid a situation where there'd be a conflict of interest; the IRS is really strict about that in non-profits these days 18:36 chris thats great news 18:35 sekjal anyway, the end result is the bylaws will be inclusive for membership of both users and developers, with no "non-voting member" class 18:32 sekjal I wanted to address the concerns folks had on the listserv about the membership language we had distributed last week 18:31 owen Thanks sekjal 18:30 sekjal so, I wanted to let everyone in here know that I'm working on drafting up a report on the KUDOS meeting last Saturday. Vicki took the notes, and is in transit today, so I'm waiting on her to be sure I got it all correct in my head 18:26 sekjal hey chris 18:26 chris heya sekjal 18:21 * owen could lend one 18:17 nengard i might be able to borrow a Flip --- but I don't know how much they store 18:17 slef The ideal would be a set up like Debconf VideoTeam 18:17 slef I have a DV cam, but it's pretty small and old. 18:17 nengard usually my screens are boring - what matters is what i'm saying 18:17 nengard schuster - but what is the screen is boring? 18:16 schuster There's professional and then there's free... Key is to record the screen not the speaker too much in my experience on tech conferences. 18:15 chris i was talkng to the ppl doing the filming at LCA, its all digital, im hoping to get them to do kohacon as well 18:14 nengard LOL 18:14 chris though 18:14 chris they were good, you could have done some editing work on my abs 18:14 nengard that would make things easier in the long run 18:14 nengard Well - we certainly need a digital video recorder this time around 18:14 chris hehe 18:12 schuster It was enough for me to get them digitized! 18:11 schuster What you didn't like my non professional videos that I put in the archive of the sessions? 18:09 chris thanks slef 18:08 owen I'm blaming the hunger 18:08 nengard :) 18:08 nengard sorry - just catching up 18:08 nengard owen is silly 18:08 slef ok, I've proposed those sponsorship ideas and I'll get a reply in due course 18:06 chris http://accessibility.net.nz/ 18:05 slef cool... I should check out some videos. 18:05 chris slef: speaking of eyesight i went to a great session on accessability and free software 18:04 slef video editing causes me problems (eyesight and relevant hardware too far apart) but I'll ask the others 18:03 chris yeah ideas are good 18:03 * gmcharlt is just tossing ideas around willy-nilly 18:03 chris ahhh yeah, excellent idea 18:03 chris that would be cool 18:03 chris_n lol :-) 18:03 gmcharlt chris: if we just do recordings, is there anybody known to be good at video editing? if not, and the co-op can help with that, that might be an option for in-kind support, 18:03 owen I could go for 200 pounds of snacks...must be lunchtime. 18:03 slef I think so, but I don't know what other plans members have for the community budget, so I'll ask. 18:02 chris with that we could get snacks and drinks for the 3 days easily 18:01 chris would the co-op be in the position to offer say 200 pounds? 18:00 slef uploading an HD is probably simple - I'd probably land in London not that far from our data centre 17:59 slef seriously - what should I be asking the co-op for? I'd rather give something useful. 17:59 chris giving someone a HD to take back would probably actually be cheaper 17:58 chris and put it up later 17:58 chris if we do just record 17:58 chris seriously tho 17:58 chris heh 17:58 owen chris, you should ask participants to fill their carry-on baggage with bandwidth (in 3-oz containers obviously) 17:56 chris (international bandwidth = not free) 17:55 chris any more can be used for things like livestreaming 17:55 chris i have about 1700 of that covered, and i will get my bosses to cover a decent amount too 17:55 chris the venue costs about $4k nz all up 17:53 chris any and all offers, be it a pledge of some money to help pay for the venue .. or whatever else anyone is in a position to do 17:52 chris ahh i have to update that too, biblibre have now promised some support 17:47 slef other thing I'm curious about is sponsorship info: what do you need/want? 17:46 slef none expected 17:46 chris andy and I might try to do that during a break at the conference today, altho i already have meetings scheduled for 2 of them :) so no promises 17:45 slef ok, thanks 17:44 chris for the record, its free 17:44 chris yep 17:44 slef chris: can we replace the blank-as-in-crashed page with a page with info about expected registration dates and prices, please? 17:44 cait hi hdl_laptop 17:43 hdl_laptop schuster: I have 17:42 gmcharlt schuster: that's a possible setup, yes - you can configure Zebra to communicate over TCP/IP instead of a Unix socket 17:42 hdl_laptop hi chris hi cait 17:41 * chris catches up on scrollback 17:41 wizzyrea lol pizzagate 17:40 chris and if you remember kohacon09 was pushed to be anything but neutral, its only that others pushed back ... so lets not use what happened there .,. and the retarded pizzagate as an example 17:39 chris and schuster, we STILL CANT EDIT THE WEBSITE, so the only place we can mention companies which should be on the website is the news letter 17:39 wizzyrea I am sure this has been done 17:39 chris slef: registration form hasnt been written yet 17:38 schuster OK back to a development/setup question - has anyone here run zebra on a different server than the production apache server? 17:38 wizzyrea boy would we be screwed then 17:38 wizzyrea lord help us if it doesn't 17:36 schuster We will be waiting until sometime in February I suspect once the actual handoff occurs - who knows maybe it won't go through. 17:36 * chris_n dislikes the waiting game personally 17:35 chris_n or concrete actions out of PTFS 17:33 schuster yep - and will continue until we have some concrete items out of PTFS as to their plans. 17:33 cait hi #koha 17:32 wizzyrea lol, yes 17:31 owen schuster: The present situation is a complete bizzaro-world of that time. 17:31 schuster I will leave my comment about the newsletter drop now - I just wanted you to be aware of it. I remember in setting up KohaCon09 and the concerns about being as vendor neutral as possible. 17:30 owen What do you mean they don't realize it? 17:30 schuster And we want to be that way. 17:30 schuster I am not sure yet that PTFS realizes that KUDOS is INDEPENDENT of a vendor... 17:29 slef owen: but then, there are many other problems with purchasing library silence in this market, so ... 17:28 slef owen: I think it would be more effective if libraries formed a consumer co-op, rather than tried to hijack a vendor-controlled space. There's the perception that user groups will be closed by their sponsor if the PR from closing will be less than the PR damage the group is inflicting, which hinders free expression of users. 17:27 owen What vendors are and are not on the support page yet doesn't have much relation to reality. 17:26 schuster site yet... 17:26 schuster nengard - sorry I was away again... I Love the newletter don't get me wrong, I know there has been LOTS of controversy dealing with vendor relations in the past and if you were on the vendor support website or not blah blah blah... and then to see the link - go there and the about us refered you back to Kyle Hall but yet that company isn't on the support sit 17:26 * owen could see how they could be useful if member libraries used it to exert leverage on their vendor to affect service 17:26 slef owen: not in a free market, no. 17:26 owen slef: you don't you think there is a role for a vendor-based user group? 17:25 slef very sad :( 17:25 slef So, PTFS is continuing the LL community fork as well as the LL software fork? 17:24 wizzyrea they co-opted the LL user group meeting as their koha user group meeting, I think 17:24 owen Did PTFS have their own Koha customer user group? 17:23 wizzyrea PTFS staff, iiuc 17:23 gmcharlt wizzyrea: speaking of which, was the LLUG run by customer libraries or by LL staff? 17:23 owen I didn't realize there was an official LL/PTFS users group meeting 17:22 wizzyrea especially in comparison to the very professionally run LL/PTFS users group meeting 17:22 slef Last night I sent an email about it that I think I'd had in drafts for days 17:21 slef oh dear :( 17:21 owen Uh oh :( 17:21 wizzyrea I heard the meeting was kind of a mess :( 17:21 slef Anyone know what happened with the kudos meeting at #alamw10 and developer-members, by the way? 17:20 slef I'm fine with the checking on "gets a mention in the newsletter" being much more relaxed than the checking on getting listed on koha.org, by the way. 17:19 slef I hope kyle was OK with me sneaking "reportedly its “new support company†submission form has been broken for weeks, which is irritating" into http://www.news.software.coop/the-koha-company-go-round/870/ 17:18 gmcharlt as far as the general issue goes - library willing to help others, cool - they can talk about it as much as they want; a library commercializing such help, though, is moving into vendor territory, and with respect to marketing needs to be treated as neutrally as any other 17:17 slef and I mean blank as in looks like crashed, not just blank as in empty page 17:17 nengard and suggestions 17:17 slef most importantly, http://kohacon.appspot.com/2010/registration/ seems to be blank 17:17 nengard gmcharlt is right - chris wants any and all help 17:16 gmcharlt though IIRC, he'll take any and all help with organizing it 17:16 gmcharlt slef: check with chris 17:16 slef Anyone here know about KohaCon 2010 organisation or should I wait for chris to awake? 17:15 gmcharlt as I said, the news item is OK 17:15 nengard will do 17:15 * chris_n agrees 17:15 nengard okey dokey 17:15 * owen agrees 17:15 gmcharlt nengard: I'm with slef 17:15 slef I think we're talking about future. That was OK IMO. 17:14 nengard you don't think it's 'useful' to know that crawford is now helping other libraries who want koha? or are we still talking about future articles and saying that Kyle's was a-ok? 17:10 gmcharlt I think that's OK, but be careful - it is the place of the newsletter to provide useful news, but not to go beyond that, IMO 17:08 nengard i don't mind 'mentioning' koha related services in news items - how's that for wording? 17:08 nengard gmcharlt advertise was a bad word - basically i didn't see that news item as a problem either 17:07 gmcharlt nengard: *advertise* in the newsletter? that's a swamp of controversy, in my opinion; I think a news item is OK, and I don't think there is an issue with that item as such 16:55 * chris_n will now dutifully back up his data... even if it is only development data :-P 16:55 chris_n owen: the data was loaded, but hidden in the syspref admin form; poking around with firebug I saw it and grabbed it... 16:55 nengard especially when they're from such a trusted source as Kyle and Crawford 16:54 nengard I don't mind advertising Koha services 16:54 nengard it's Koha related news 16:54 nengard schuster - oh okay - and do you not think that belonged in there? should I have edited that out? that's kind of what I'm asking 16:53 owen chris_n: I once scoured the cache of multiple browsers and computers looking for a remnant of an opac customization I overwrote. 16:53 schuster I was away in a meeting. 16:53 schuster nengard - http://millruntech.com/ 16:52 chris_n it just saved my data 16:52 chris_n man do I <3 firebug... 16:47 Ropuch ;> 16:45 * chris_n writes "I will always backup my data." 100xs instead of doing lunch :-) 16:43 jwagner chris_n, you have backups, of course :-) 16:43 chris_n at least I'm not having to explain to someone else why I deleted their data :-\ 16:42 munin chris_n: Error: You're not allowed to adjust your own karma. 16:42 chris_n chris_n-- 16:41 chris_n forgetting that small caveat 16:40 chris_n <--- overwrote his dev db while restoring the current production db to do a debug run 16:40 wizzyrea :( you deleted them? 16:40 * chris_n learns the very downside of having opac customizations stored in the db.... 16:39 chris_n arggg!! 16:39 wizzyrea you are def one of my geek heroes 16:39 wizzyrea gmcharlt is so epic he even chats while flying 16:37 gmcharlt so far - still in the air 16:35 chris_n smooth flight? 16:35 chris_n wb gmcharlt 16:31 * chris_n seems to remember that the HLT board meets today to review the draft Koha Committee Rules 15:41 slef predictable criticism of LCA-NZ from fsdaily http://www.fsdaily.com/Philosophy/A_free_software_conference_or_an_open_source_conference 15:39 owen that's what I'm looking into. It's an external PHP script querying our Koha database. I've never seen it do this before. 15:38 hdl_laptop cached information ? 15:32 owen I've checked all the connection details and they're the same 15:32 owen I could use suggestions for a strange problem: I'm getting different results from a mysql command line query than I am from running a script in the browser 15:14 gmcharlt about to board a plane - see you later 15:08 owen Okay, looks like that worked. Thanks! 15:06 hdl_laptop thus, you can tell the repo you want it to be on 15:05 hdl_laptop or even better : "biblibre/3.2_community" 15:05 hdl_laptop ... 15:05 hdl_laptop git format-patch --subject-prefix=3.2_community 15:04 * owen thinks he has been told this before 15:04 gmcharlt git-format-patch can be used to tweak the subject line 15:04 gmcharlt subject line - [biblibre/3.2_community], e.g. 15:03 owen What's the best way to do the header gmcharlt ? 15:03 hdl_laptop jwagner : probably Text::Aspell (for dependency) + aspell libs 15:03 gmcharlt I think all patches should go to patches@koha.org with a header indicating the target branch 15:03 owen If I have a patch for biblibre/3.2_community should I send it directly to you? Or to the patches list (or both)? 15:02 hdl_laptop yes 15:01 owen hdl_laptop here? 15:01 jwagner Of course not! 15:01 owen Many users will be accustomed to Google's *one* suggestion, but then Google never makes mistakes ;) 14:59 jwagner Could use some input on it -- right now the code is hardcoded to suggest five terms. The number of possible suggestions is quite high. Would people prefer a syspref to allow the sites to control how many terms are suggested? From what I've seen in testing, it's pretty good at coming up with the proper term within that first five. 14:58 owen I know my library will love to see that one come down the pike. 14:57 jwagner Will do. I want to clarify the techie end of it with the developer (the dependencies). 14:57 owen jwagner: Please do file a bug report when you get a chance so others can follow your progress 14:54 jwagner MTPL came up with a bunch of terms that the dictionary didn't match. 14:53 jwagner I don't know what the original did. Ours uses the Aspell dictionary. We're looking into how sites can add terms to the dictionary, either locally or perhaps through the Aspell list/site. 14:53 owen The original version didn't use a spelling dictionary did it? It just checked against data in your catalog? 14:52 jwagner Yes, we saw the existing code & built off it. Made life much easier :-) 14:52 munin 04Bug 2539: normal, P3, ---, jmf@liblime.com, NEW, kohaspsuggest is deprecated, notes outmoded 14:52 owen http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2539 14:51 owen jwagner: Were you aware that Koha at one time had a similar feature? 14:51 jwagner Found my notes, the other dependency is Text::Aspell.pm 14:50 jwagner Not yet. 14:50 owen Okay jwagner, I misunderstood, thought it was live on their opac 14:49 jwagner owen, it's still in test right now. I hope we can move it to their production server in the next couple of weeks. 14:49 * owen boggles 14:49 nengard owen - lawyers still love AOL - no friggin clue why - but that's the way it was when I was in the law library and I don't see that it has changed much 14:49 owen jwagner: How does one see the "did you mean" feature? 14:48 nengard ? 14:48 nengard was there something someone wrote that you think i should have edited out> 14:48 jwagner Yep, you should be, owen. A small but vocal contingent of MTPL patrons still use it, anyway. 14:48 nengard schuster - i'm confused as to what plug you're referring to? 14:48 owen I should be so lucky. 14:47 owen Honestly, I didn't realize there still was such a thing as the AOL browser. 14:47 jwagner We've had major problems with users at MTPL getting kicked out as soon as they log in, and all of them that we've identified are using the AOL browser. I know there were always issues with it for Unicorn.... 14:47 owen I would like to add, "And Owen will drive to your house and punch you in the face if you use the AOL browser." 14:46 * owen visits the mtpl OPAC and reads "The AOL browser does not work with Koha" 14:44 owen chris_n: http://www.fiftyfoureleven.com/weblog/web-development/css/doors-meet-sprites 14:44 jwagner schuster, on the Did You Mean thing, I haven't gotten around to writing it up for bugzilla yet, sorry. It uses an open source dictionary called Aspell, and I need to track down the dependencies (I think there's one other one). 14:44 chris_n that makes sense 14:43 owen That allows you to use one image file instead of multiple ones. 14:43 owen Yes, the hover state of the link has a different background-position set 14:42 * chris_n noticed the image has three different images in it with slightly different gradients on each one 14:41 chris_n owen: does the background image used in the menu at the top of the myacpl.org page scroll when hovered over? 14:41 owen http://koha.web2learning.net/2010/01/volume-1issue-1-january-2010/#middle 14:40 chris_n schuster: which newsletter? 14:38 schuster I was surprised though about the selfless plug for a new support company - spin off that looks probably much like LibLime did when Athens first started to use them... 14:37 schuster Just reading through the newsletter some interesting development items going on there... great job to Middletown and East brunswick and PTFS I'm looking forward to the did you mean feature!!! 14:32 owen Safari for Windows isn't getting any interest around here but Chrome is. 14:32 * owen isn't feeling much like a CSS wizard today, fighting with a WebKit oddity this morning. 14:01 chris_n gmcharlt: that is some hope 13:59 Nate Hi everyone! 13:59 gmcharlt the deal isn't finalized yet, of course, so obviously that has to happen before PTFS would make any larger announcements 13:58 gmcharlt missed opportunity - this conference would have been perfect time to make such moves 13:56 owen We can always hope for bold moves I suppose 13:55 owen yeah, we shouldn't really have expected anything more 13:55 gmcharlt owen: certainly informative - upshot, at least regarding the big news, is that things are very much in the air 13:54 owen Productive conference gmcharlt ? 13:54 owen chris_n: I find the Sitepoint references handy: http://reference.sitepoint.com/css 13:53 hdl_laptop hi gmcharlt. 13:53 gmcharlt greetings from the airport 13:53 chris_n howdy gmcharlt 13:53 chris_n hey hdl_laptop 13:52 jwagner Bonjour hdl_laptop 13:52 chris_n owen: do you have any suggestions on where to find a *good* reference for CSS syntax 13:52 hdl_laptop hi everyone 13:52 jwagner What I'd like to know is how you WIN the super heroes contest? 13:51 * chris_n was wondering what was in schuster's coffee ;-) 13:50 schuster just read an ad for a super heros contest... 13:50 chris_n howdy schuster 13:50 schuster Hey great wizard of css and javascript owen! and Chris_n buddy extraordinary! 13:47 owen Good morning schuster 13:47 chris_n I could not seem to debug it even with firebug 13:45 chris_n yeah, I don't know 13:45 * chris_n thinks CSS is a bit more magic and arcane than perl 13:45 owen I wonder if there was a good reason for the original creator of the hack to have chosen it 13:44 chris_n but I don't see where using a space rather than a period would affect things adversely 13:43 owen The C in CSS pretty much means all bets are off when it comes to code re-use 13:43 * chris_n is very, very green at CSS and web design in general 13:42 chris_n so I'm not sure if there is an issue from higher up in my css that may be causing the problem or not 13:42 * owen thinks, CSS quirks? Why haven't I heard of this before? 13:42 chris_n I read multiple articles and all said to set content: "." 13:42 chris_n and setting the 'content' parameter to " " rather than "." fixed it 13:42 owen Interesting...I've never seen that. 13:41 chris_n it turns out the hidden "." was causing this 13:41 chris_n applying the clearfix class caused the first item in the menu to be elevated vertically above the others 13:40 chris_n owen: I had a bit of a problem with the clearfix class and my list menu 13:38 * chris_n wishes he could have flown to NZ, but did not think he could make it back in time for work today :-) 13:38 chris_n yes 13:37 owen You watched it online chris_n? 13:37 chris_n he did a great job 13:37 chris_n did any of you get to see chris's presentation on koha yesterday? 13:36 jwagner chris_n, so THAT'S what I've been doing wrong!!! 13:36 chris_n owen: they saved me hours of time I'm sure 13:36 owen You bet. I'm just sorry I've been too busy to do more 13:36 chris_n jwagner: your supposed to drink it, not pour it into your eyes ;-) 13:35 chris_n owen: thanks for the excellent blogs on customizing opac 13:35 jwagner Already almost through the first cup of tea. It's not helping.... 13:35 * chris_n passes out coffee/tea... your choice 13:35 owen Hi 13:35 jwagner Good morning, I think.... 13:35 * jwagner opens bleary eye 13:33 nengard morning 13:31 chris_n g'morning 10:23 toins good night chris ! 10:23 chris ok, time for sleep 09:57 Ropuch Morning #koha 09:48 chris (things i learnt about in the last 2 days) 09:48 chris as does http://mysql-mmm.org/ 09:44 chris http://gearman.org/ <-- this looks interesting 09:43 munin magnus: The current temperature in Bodo, Norway is -1.0�C (10:20 AM CET on January 19, 2010).
