02:36 * chris_n         attempts to write code to make rectabular extrusions trasmogrify
02:37 * wizzyrea_laptop wonders if chris_n can see through time
02:38 chris_n           only far enough ahead to see disasters there is not time to avoid

12:55 magnus            i was just about to comment on how quiet it has been here the last couple days...
12:56 jwagner           Ahhhhh.  Peace and quiet......

13:11 braedon|home1     for 1 am, indeed. rather hot for sleeping unfortunatly
13:11 magnus            we have had about 50cm of fresh snow in the last 3-4 days...
13:12 braedon|home1     haha, if it was snowing here, now that would be interesting :P
13:12 jwagner           And we're finally getting some spring-like temperatures.  Right in the middle :-)
13:13 magnus            at least the sun is shining right now - it's rather pretty with the sea and the mountains and the pristine snow...
13:13 * braedon|home1   must get back to transcribing the doom song (which is fun when all the words are "doom") - don't ask
13:14 * magnus          is very tempted to ask, but will refrain...
13:15 * jwagner         wonders if that's anything like the song Terry Pratchett's dwarfs are so fond of. "Gold Gold Gold Gold..."
13:16 braedon|home1     jwagner: quite possibly. try watching invader zim some time - it is in the first episode
13:28 jdavidb           Howdy, #koha.
13:34 owen              Hi
13:35 * jwagner         is not high yet, but has hopes for later in the day :-)
13:36 jwagner           It's amazing what a little chocolate can do....
13:45 owen              Wow, lots of patches from hdl yesterday!
13:45 gmcharlt          lots and lots
13:46 magnus            a tidal wave of patches... ;-)
13:46 jwagner           When the first email I opened this morning was headed patch 1 of 55, I began to worry....
13:58 rhcl_home         ping jdavidb
14:01 jdavidb           pong.
14:03 * jdavidb         peers quizzically at rhcl_home.
14:14 * owen            wonders what's up with Zotero not getting an update for Firefox 3.6
14:15 gmcharlt          jdavidb: you're everybody's favorite ping-ee, I suppose :)
14:17 rhcl_home         jdavidb: hang on, I'm on my way to work and will ping you there.
14:18 * owen            is going to start calling jdavidb every day to let him know when he's on his way to work :P
14:19 * owen            corrects himself: wondering now why the Zotero plugin on addons.mozilla.org isn't the latest one
14:21 * jdavidb         is wandering around in a fog of flaky code and unanswered pings today.
14:22 gmcharlt          owen: dunno, but I think the Zotero folks are pretty responsive to such questions
14:23 owen              They have a comment on addons.mozilla.org about the latest version being on their site. It must be a mozilla.org delay
14:28 adegroff          hi have question/ need help
14:28 adegroff          woops disregard - -figured it out
14:29 owen              Another satisfied customer of #koha!
14:29 gmcharlt          the power of #koha - some questions don't even need to be asked to be fixed ;)
14:29 jwagner           see, jdavidb, there IS a psychic module!
14:30 adegroff          :-)
14:39 sekjal            good morning, #koha

14:55 chris             sorry jwagner, couldnt resist
14:55 ebegin            day or night :)
14:56 owen              Shouldn't you be in bed chris? :)
14:57 chris             its only 10.55pm here in singapore
14:58 chris             3.55am back in nz tho
14:58 chris             so yes id normally be asleep
15:02 jwagner           chris, couldn't resist what?  Did I miss something?
15:02 owen              His response to you on the Koha list
15:03 jwagner           Ah.  Don't always keep up with the email.  Yes, I could do a patch for it.  I just keep hoping SOMEONE who knows how will actually fix it instead :-)
15:04 jwagner           I keep getting plaintive questions from my sites about wanting to schedule reports, and I don't know how to go about fixing the scheduler myself.
15:04 chris             suexec and at

15:05 * jwagner         thinks chris is speaking Greek....
15:05 jwagner           I keep repeating the mantra "I Are Not A Real Programmer"
15:05 chris             each koha instance should be running as a seperate user anyway, there is no need to run them all as www-data
15:07 chris             maybe when i finish more_time.pl ill fix it :)
15:07 jwagner           chris, I thought you were working on clone_me.pl?
15:08 chris             yeah that ones too hard
15:08 chris             im just gonna bend the laws of physics instead
15:08 paul_p            hello world
15:09 braedon|home1     cloning doesn't require any law breaking or bending
15:09 * chris           may have been drinking singapore slings, so might be making no sense
15:09 sekjal            hello, paul_p.
15:09 braedon|home1     just the ability to iterate through me.atoms, replicating and reassembling as you go
15:12 braedon|home1     anywho, as i am actually in NZ, not skiving off in singapore, it is actually after 4am, so i should really head to bed
15:12 braedon|home1     night #koha
15:21 chris             where skiving off == working 2 14 hour days, then being grilled by 8 people :)
15:21 chris             admittedly im skiving off now :)
15:21 braedon|home1     see, how did i know?
15:21 jwagner           But don't forget the Singapore Slings!
15:21 braedon|home1     (ues, i am still here and not in bed)

16:35 paul_p            jwagner: 55 pages to document what ?
16:36 jwagner           A whole bunch of our features.  Most are on bugzilla, this fleshes out the user instructions.

18:27 CGI952            hii koha users
18:27 CGI952            how do u do all?
18:27 CGI952            :)
18:28 CGI952            hmmm
18:28 CGI952            why are you silent dudes?
18:29 jwagner           Because we're busy working on things?
18:29 CGI952            sorry for disturbing you...
18:29 CGI952            oh
18:29 CGI952            thanks jawagner :)
18:29 jwagner           Disturbing isn't the issue.  But immediate responses can be rare.
18:30 owen              If you have a question CGI952 feel free to ask
18:31 CGI952            is there any recommendation for hardware to install koha on a production server?
18:31 CGI952            having 200 thousand bibliographic records
18:31 CGI952            and 200 circulation transactions daily
18:32 CGI952            i want to install koha 3 on ubuntu
18:32 * owen            isn't up on the hardware side of things
18:33 * jwagner         either :-(
18:33 CGI952            can anyone suggest or plz reffer me to some sections of koha manual
18:33 CGI952            is nicole there?
18:34 jwagner           She's on travel today, I think
18:34 CGI952            i think she can show me some path
18:34 CGI952            isnt?
18:34 owen              http://koha-community.org/documentation/

18:37 rhcl              CGI: do you want some specific recommendations, or general guidelines for hardware?
18:38 CGI952            rhcl a library want me to install koha on there server and they want some RAID configureation too
18:38 CGI952            kyle advised that RAID will slow down the server
18:39 CGI952            so i want to tell them the recommended hardware specs if any
18:39 brendan           RAID is always best if that is done at a hardware level and not a software level --> just my 2 cents
18:39 CGI952            prefferably from koha site
18:40 CGI952            ok brendan
18:44 rhcl              OK, here's a good base computer that I am requesting funds for right now...

18:45 rhcl              well, guess that didn't work...

19:34 schuster          Schools report that the item is taken off the student record but there isn't a message telling them that when they click renew.
19:35 schuster          on my test system though it left the item on the persons record - and says "on hold" in the renew section without renewing it.
19:35 schuster          So it's half way there...

20:54 jwagner           Sharon, Bug 2771 is kind of related (but for staff side).  Neither should be too difficult to do for XSLT displays, but darn near impossible for non-XSLT (at least as far as I've found).

20:55 Sharon            we use xslt, so if it gets fixed for that, i'm happy ;-)
20:56 Genji             bug: On the production server, when the cataloger do a new record which contains more than one author he but the first author in field #100 , and the rest of the authors in 700 (it is a repeatable field) then save the record. Later on another  cataloger will go over new records to make sure that all the data have been entered correctly and there are nothing missing. If the other cataloger changes anything in the record and save it, the cont
20:56 Genji             anyone have an idea why?
20:56 jwagner           Sharon, maybe in my mythical free time.  "All" subfields is a little broad -- how about updating the bugzilla entry with the subfields that really need to show?

21:42 ricardo           Hi all!  :)
21:43 ricardo           Someone asked me this: does Koha have any way of creating a "Bulletin"? Mainly a list of new bibliographic records to send to patron (maybe there's some Custom Report already made by someone?)
21:44 wizzyrea_         um, you can do a search I think and get an RSS feed of it
21:44 wizzyrea_         maybe I'm not understanding what you're asking
21:46 ricardo           wizzyrea_: No, that could be one way around it, yes...I think what would be nice would be a way to do searches ordered by "biblionumber" and then doing some "offset" (create 1st report with records from biblionumber =1 to biblionumber = 100... then the 2nd report would have records from biblionumber = 101 to biblionumber =200 ... or other < 200)
21:47 ricardo           Am I being clear as mud?  ;-)
21:50 ricardo           More simply: is there a way of sorting search results by "biblionumber"? It seems to me that you have to create a Report for that, and I can't find an easy way to create "cut-off" points
21:56 ricardo           Oh well... I'll try to research this further sometime. Leaving now. Take care and thanks for trying to help wizzyrea_ !  :)

23:20 ebegin            I'm looking for a way to make a reserved document as Waiting...  How can we do that?
23:23 ebegin            Let's say a user request a document that is on the library Shelves.  A staff member goes get it and place it on the Waiting shelves for being picked up by the user...  How does that staff tells Koha that the item is now waiting for picked up?
