But some of my best friends are librarians :-) and I sometimes have a too-vivid imagination. 18:02 * chris_n did not realize jwagner was a librarian :) 17:42 jwagner Thank you, chris_n for that image. It will haunt me for days..... 17:41 * chris_n has had too much Java today :-P 17:41 chris_n sorry... Empire State Building 17:41 * chris_n tries to imagine KOHAKONG climbing the World Trade Center with a librarian held firmly in its grasp 17:40 munin jwagner: Quote #49: "wizzyrea: KOHAKONG: Stomping all other ILS's" (added by chris_n at 11:20 AM, December 22, 2009) 17:40 jwagner @quote random 17:40 jwagner awfully quiet around here.... 16:19 nengard sending 16:19 wizzyrea yea, i can take a look 16:18 nengard wizzyrea can i email you an image - it's a virtualbox issue - not sure if you're the one that uses it there 16:14 wizzyrea I"m here, sup 16:12 nengard wizzyrea or owen around? 16:12 jwagner Yes, there is that little matter :-( 16:12 slef Technically, I can record them to memory stick from my TV. Of course, it's almost never legal to distribute them. 16:10 jwagner Not sure about the "making of" shows -- I think they may run at odd hours. I've lost track of the airtimes now. 16:10 jwagner Haven't seen those yet -- we always lag behind a bit. Although a friend of mine finds them on the Internet practically as soon as they run. 16:10 slef Do you get the "making of" shows over there? 16:10 slef There are still quite a lot of rubber monsters... the Ood, the Sontarans,... 16:09 slef jwagner: we're into Matt Smith now. 15:45 wizzyrea ^^ true 15:42 jwagner But you know, Doctor Who just isn't the same any more. Where are all the cheesy fake aliens/monsters in the rubber suits? All this CGI business is bad for the imagination :-) 15:41 jwagner Diff'rent strokes :-) 15:40 wizzyrea (he reminds me of a very good friend, so that helps) 15:40 wizzyrea but I looove tennant. :P 15:39 wizzyrea oh man I can't get into eccleston. every other thing I've watched with him in it he's been a bad guy, and I can't get over it. 15:38 jwagner I just can't really get into the David Tennant episodes. I go back a long way with the good Doctor (Tom Baker being my "first" Doctor). I was happy with the Christopher Eccleston revival, but something about Tennant rubs me the wrong way. 15:26 * wizzyrea gets creeped out and hides under the covers 15:25 wizzyrea the creepiest part being "Donna Noble is not here. Donna Noble has been saved (repeat ad infinitum)" 15:25 wizzyrea the tennant one 15:25 wizzyrea Ya, that one 15:22 slef wizzyrea: do you mean the Silence in the Library of the David Tennant ones, or some earlier episode? 15:16 wizzyrea they seemed quite helpful. :P 15:16 wizzyrea oh, by creepy I meant the show was creepy, not the robotic library help 15:04 * cait waves back at jdavidb 15:03 * jdavidb waves at cait :) 14:45 jdavidb Given some people's love for treating persons-not-like-me badly in this country, they'd be the ones to squeak that they *shouldn't* be too human-appearing. And they'd still be rude to them, even then. 14:44 jdavidb heh. 14:43 wizzyrea (which, btw, was the creepiest thing I've seen in a while. yet still funny.) 14:43 * wizzyrea assumes gmcharlt did 14:42 wizzyrea seriously 14:42 wizzyrea it had those 14:42 wizzyrea did any of you see the Dr. Who episode called The Library? 14:40 jdavidb you'd need some sort of knowledge engine on the front, to handle simple reference-interview things: "Yes, I'm looking for books about <foo>" (Algorithmically, that's an easy one: subject-search <foo>, get call num range, then direct the patron. 14:36 jdavidb rhcl++ #for his creepy but awesome idea. 14:36 rhcl Can't you see a roaming humanoid with a wireless connection to Koha roaming a library offering to help patrons find stuff? 14:34 rhcl still, sign me up for two. No, no, make it three. After a bit of acclimation you'd get past the creepy part. The whole issue of anthropomorphizing is really where tech is heading I think. 14:34 wizzyrea I know koha looks pretty on mobiles already, for the most part, but this is interesting. 14:34 wizzyrea http://www.iii.com/products/airpac.shtml 14:32 jdavidb ooo...that's *creepy*. 14:29 rhcl http://www.fastcompany.com/1607031/android-robots-human-robotics-gynoid-augmented-reality-augmented-humans-science 14:29 rhcl rhcl directs rhcl to Geminoid 14:26 * jdavidb directs rhcl to Lucy: http://www.ai-buddy.com/aib.php?u=lucy&width=600&height=250 14:25 rhcl Chatting with a stupid bot is much more pleasant than chats with my ex- were. 14:25 rhcl see, stupid munin. there it is. 14:24 munin rhcl: The current temperature in Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi), Thailand is 30.0�C (9:00 PM ICT on April 16, 2010).

My only experience in UK was the conference last year. I agree it's just launching a troll then... 10:02 slef chris: the Lions are a bit of a joke team IMO (but I won't say that near them) 10:02 kf :) 10:02 kf chris: chris++ #for helping me with koha history 10:02 slef paul_p: you need to visit real England and Wales. 10:02 chris better rugby team at the moment too :) 10:01 slef paul_p: no :-) 10:01 chris :) 10:01 paul_p (can I say "better food" without being suspected to troll ;-) ) 10:01 slef wine - tastes nice but stunts your growth? 10:01 slef chris: that may explain why they are not developing so fast ;-) 10:01 paul_p chris, lol ! 10:01 chris slef: but with better wine :) 10:00 kf hi chris 10:00 slef France is UK from the early 1990s. ;-) 10:00 chris great news about your presentation 10:00 chris hi kf :) 09:59 paul_p france is different ;-) 09:59 paul_p (just working home *those years*) 09:58 paul_p slef, my wife, that is a midwife in public hospital (and just working home to educate our 4 chilrdens) thought about working a little for a private hospital. But she can't without an explicit permission ! (or she should resign from the public system). The permission is usually given, but sometimes not... 09:57 slef I think the big three parties are all talking about moving more gov.uk people to uk.coop members after the election, too. 09:56 slef two of software.coop work for gov.uk as well as us... one's employer encourages it, the other tolerates it. 09:56 slef wow, French govt is very different to ours 09:52 paul_p nicomo leaves because he want to work as a librarian again. and in France, most librarians (including nicolas) are employed by the govt, and they can't have a job as librarian and a job in a private company ! 09:50 slef paul_p: It worries me a bit because Bull and Everthingy aren't famous for FOSS, if you know what I mean. Also, why is nicomo leaving completely? But it would be good to see you around the community more again. 09:49 chris via bangkok i thnk 09:49 chris im trying to remember how russel and i got to paris for kohacon 09:49 slef chris: cool. Maybe they still fly out. 09:49 chris (they fly via singapore) 09:48 chris lufthansa into frankfurt 09:48 paul_p slef, this move will not change anything for Koha Community. Well, it may be a good news in fact, because 1- Philippe is a very experienced CEO, and 2- I hope that will let me have some time to get involved again in Koha (that, frankly I did not really a lot for the last 18months :( ) 09:46 slef chris: which non-UK airports this end? 09:46 chris slef: yep, usually via hong kong or singapore 09:45 chris paul_p: yeah, about nicomo leaving 09:44 slef I saw it.

(honest question here - are you speaking from doing a direct comparison?) 03:03 indradg gmcharlt, I would say DocuWIki would be better tool 03:03 larsw thinking of switching to a new wiki engine for koha? 03:02 gmcharlt ? 03:01 gmcharlt do you have an opinion on the matter 03:01 indradg gmcharlt, any decisions finally on the wiki s/w to use? 03:00 gmcharlt indradg: pong 02:44 chris pazpar2 and gutenberg? 02:42 indradg gmcharlt, ping 02:42 indradg lol 02:39 richard heh 02:38 * gmcharlt makes chris guess ;) 02:34 chris ? 02:29 gmcharlt chris++
