00:18 * rangi               wanders off to meet chilts for lunch
00:28 * druthb              returns, washing her hands with some strong soap to get the icky feel of the other ILS off.
00:31 druthb                I'm never too big to admit when I'm wrong.  SirsiDynix Unicorn is *not* the worst user interface I've ever seen, any more.
00:31 Space_Librarian       what's worse?
00:32 druthb                "CyberTools for Libraries."
00:32 druthb                Nasty thing.  I'd not ever seen it before.
00:32 Space_Librarian       that sounds like a d-grade movie
00:33 druthb                I couldn't find a place to request a patron listing report!
00:35 druthb                its' developers seem to think it's the best thing since the library book, but I don't see how they made any money on it.
00:44 druthb                At least the MARC data is plausible and pretty straightforward.  so far, anyway.
00:46 Space_Librarian       so far... :)
00:49 druthb                the serials data may be a little messy, but the monographs are simple simon.
00:50 druthb                oooh...here's a goodie:  "Politeness and consideration for others is like investing pennies and getting dollars back." --Thomas Sowell
00:58 * library_systems_guy discovered that he passes out at the sight of needles today
00:59 library_systems_guy   sorry for being random and off topic
00:59 Space_Librarian       library_systems_guy: shoot
01:00 Space_Librarian       library_systems_guy: that's inconvenient
01:00 library_systems_guy   indeed it is
01:00 library_systems_guy   you end up missing a lot of programming the day you pass out
01:00 library_systems_guy   apparently that is frowned upon
01:01 druthb                hi, brooke.
01:01 druthb                library_systems_guy: hope you're okay now!
01:01 Brooke                howdy miss
01:01 * Brooke              made a mean pizza.
01:01 library_systems_guy   indeed
01:01 library_systems_guy   thanks druthb
01:01 Brooke                holy smokes
01:01 Brooke                what did you pass out from?
01:01 Brooke                hope it was summat pleasant
01:02 Space_Librarian       Brooke: did you have a piece for me?
01:02 library_systems_guy   Brooke: needles and blood
01:02 Brooke                lib dude: that is NOT pleasant
01:02 Brooke                a yep
01:02 Brooke                it was torture of the worst sort
01:02 Brooke                but I buckled down and had one for ye ;)
01:04 library_systems_guy   druthb: that biblio script has been running since lunch lol
01:05 Brooke                how many records?
01:05 druthb                which one?  Shouldn't take that long, unless you've a bazillion recs.
01:05 library_systems_guy   450K
01:05 Brooke                that would be a bazillion, no?
01:05 library_systems_guy   close enough i suppose
01:05 library_systems_guy   lol
01:05 druthb                the builder?  Yeah, that one might run that long.
01:05 library_systems_guy   yeah that one
01:05 Brooke                ha, see I *do* think in a flowchart?
01:05 library_systems_guy   and yeah i had to up the ram on my vm to 4 gigs to process it
01:06 druthb                It's got a lot to do, splicing in the items and all.
01:06 Brooke                How many records? If less than X, then it's problematic :P
01:07 library_systems_guy   lol
01:07 library_systems_guy   i can't tell where its at...its making me nervous
01:08 * Brooke              crosses her fingers for ya.
01:08 druthb                It should be running a counter...I program those.
01:09 library_systems_guy   well...its running in the emacs dumb terminal...so i can't really read it very well
01:09 library_systems_guy   lol
01:09 Brooke                go to Ocean City. Play skeeball. Come back.
01:09 druthb                oh.  Then Don't Do That, the doctor said.
01:09 Brooke                this is normally the super sekrit loading bar time in which druthb screws about with a certain resident of the Commonwealth.
01:10 Brooke                so you've comfortably a few hours to burn, methinks ;P
01:11 druthb                when I ran that script with about 130K bibs, it ran for a skosh under three hours IIRC.  So you have some time to kill.
01:13 druthb                ....and yeah, this is normally when I buzz off and go meet Brooke for dinner or take a snooze or something.
01:15 Brooke                (She's really paying ice cream vendors to say scandalous things.)
01:15 Brooke                (Or more like just working on ANOTHER migration.)
01:17 druthb                hee hee...
01:18 druthb                how'd you know I've got three in the works this week, Brooke?
01:18 * Brooke              has druthb's number.
01:18 druthb                Two go-lives and a test.
01:20 Brooke                I suspect there's some sort of rule that when I'm reading an article entitled Salbutamol improves diaphragm force generation in experimental sepsis for fun, I should prolly be doing medical indexing...
01:24 * druthb              blinks
01:28 rangi                 back
01:28 Brooke                welcome back
01:28 Brooke                hey o bobo

06:07 koha                  hi
06:08 koha                  I have a typical problem faced after upgrade to Koha 3.4 from 3.00
06:09 koha                  The issue is if I want to do criculation (check out or check in) there will be an error in Can't call method "subfield" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2829.
06:10 koha                  but actal action happens, i tested this by refershing it again i works. I an not sure why that error is coming? Can anybody help on this.
06:10 koha                  Thanks in advance
06:10 cait                  have you run the scrpt to remove your items from the xml?
06:11 francharb             hello
06:11 cait                  hi francharb
06:12 koha                  yes I did remove item script
06:12 koha                  but got uninitalization warning with m//
06:13 cait                  HM
06:13 cait                  sorry, caps lock
06:14 cait                  so you are not sure if it worked correctly?
06:14 koha                  yes cait
06:14 koha                  but rebuild zebra worked
06:17 cait                  I think I would check the marcxml field to see if the 952 fields have really been removed
06:19 koha                  ok how do I do that? I am a beginner to Koha
06:19 alex_a                hi there !

09:29 Brooke                heh good on ye
09:29 kf                    this time feels kind of weird
09:30 kf                    I think we didn't have a lot of meetings at this time
09:30 kf                    must be quite early for us?
09:30 kf                    us = US
09:30 Brooke                the US can ttfu.
09:31 alex_a                Does anyone know where i can find documentation about enabling SRU servers on koha ?
09:32 jransom               oh thats very early for you, very late for us
09:32 jransom               NZ
09:32 kf                    alex_a: not sure there is documentation, I know my coworker tested it though
09:32 Brooke                very early is 3 ;)
09:32 kf                    ouch
09:32 Brooke                same here, alex
09:32 Brooke                don't think you can consult unwritten documentation but lemme see
09:33 kf                    alex_a: seemed to work he was quite happy with it
09:33 kf                    alex_a: I think if you didn't activate it during install you might have to change your conf xml file?
09:34 Brooke                I've summat on test queries
09:34 Brooke                http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SimpleServer_as_a_Z39.50/SRU_Server_Test_Queries_for_Koha_with_Solr/Lucene
09:35 alex_a                kf: yes, it's what i want to know about
09:36 alex_a                what to change in the koha-conf.xml file
09:36 Brooke                listen options to listen on a tcp port if it's the same as 3.x
09:36 alex_a                i found lot of documentations about using/quering SRU but not about enabling ...
09:37 Brooke                SRU servers conf site:koha-community.org through google ;)
09:39 alex_a                google ? i don't know
09:39 alex_a                :p
09:39 Brooke                hey, it's what you have Librarians for ;)
09:40 kf                    alex_a: have you checked the xml file?
09:40 kf                    or you could do a fresh install somewhere and activate it during install - see what it does
09:40 alex_a                install is done yet
09:41 alex_a                i have to check xml file
09:41 alex_a                kf: oh yes i just understand what you mean :)
09:41 alex_a                good idea
09:47 kf                    hi magnuse

10:16 rangi                 Work is progressing nicely, http://koha-releasemanagement.branchable.com/ already a pile of stuff for 3.6.0 in master, and more to go in
10:16 Brooke                #link http://koha-releasemanagement.branchable.com/
10:17 magnus_mobile         yay!
10:17 rangi                 thats about all i have, nothing new to report
10:18 Brooke                righto
10:18 Brooke                that brings us to
10:18 Brooke                #topic KohaCon2011
10:19 Brooke                no kmkale
10:19 Brooke                which is rather mystifying given it's a cherry of a time for Mumbai...
10:20 jransom               and he is concerned at lack of attendance at planning meetings - hence shifting it here
10:21 Brooke                0/
10:21 thd                   Maybe he needs an extra reminder about these meetings and his intention of shifting.
10:21 thd                   Perhaps he thought we would sort the arrangements without him if he did not appear.
10:22 jransom               someone should phone him up
10:22 Brooke                #help find other parties in India to assist kmkale with organising
10:22 jransom               do we know what the sticky bits are:
10:22 Brooke                if you've volunteered to approve a paper, please do check your queue
10:22 jransom               venue = sorted
10:23 jransom               dates - sorted
10:23 jransom               programme: have we enough abstracts?
10:23 Brooke                to me, the sticky bit is the website
10:23 mtj                   hi peoples
10:23 * mtj                 waves
10:23 jransom               regsitarnts: good : (150 last count)
10:23 jransom               heya mj
10:23 Brooke                some of the features meant to make things run smoother are causing abstract purgatory
10:23 jransom               so i think its programme really
10:23 jransom               and website
10:24 jransom               brooke / mj: do you know the state of the prpgramme?
10:24 Brooke                we had three approved abstracts
10:24 Brooke                that were then taken down...
10:24 jransom               is that all so far?
10:24 thd                   Brooke:  all the way down to purgatory?
10:25 mtj                   were they accidentally deleted?
10:25 jransom               how many more submitted?
10:25 Brooke                I think there are about 8 in the queue, but I can't seem to see what I once saw on the site
10:25 jransom               so 11 in total
10:25 BobB                  Hi #koha - just joining the meeting now.  Sorry I'm late.
10:25 Brooke                no problem Bob
10:26 jransom               maybe we need to set the programme ie what we want presented then recruit presenters?
10:26 Brooke                I think we're just about fine were everything in the queue approved, but that'd be a faulty assumption, as everything in queue might not be great. However, I don't have reservations at this point about filling time slots.
10:26 BobB                  #info BobB
10:27 jransom               who is in charge of programme?
10:27 Brooke                last I checked MJ Ray
10:27 Brooke                but I'm not sure that's official
10:28 jransom               ok. MJ : are you willing to be a benevolent dictator to get this show on the road?
10:28 * Brooke              thinks unoffical + done > official + not done.
10:28 oleonard              Not mtj, slef
10:29 mtj                   #info mason james. kohaaloha, nz
10:29 druthb                #info D Ruth Bavousett, ByWater Solutions
10:29 jransom               MJRay - who is not here yet
10:29 BobB                  Hi mtj
10:29 oleonard              #info Owen Leonard, Nelsonville Public Library
10:29 thd                   slef seems not to be here
10:30 mtj                   heya BobB  :p
10:30 jransom               no - hes walking somewhere off a train
10:30 BobB                  I just read the discussion so far.  Kmkale is an apology.  At the KohaCon meeting he foreshadowed that he had another commitment and would not be here tonight.
10:30 Brooke                I wonder if we oughtn't be redundant at this point
10:31 Brooke                I am tempted to propose that authors resubmit abstracts to the wiki
10:31 thd                   BobB: When is the next KohaCon meeting?
10:31 Brooke                2 people sign off on each abstract
10:31 Brooke                we mock a programme up from there
10:31 jransom               sounds proactive
10:32 BobB                  There's a poll
10:32 Brooke                have a look over at #link http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Category_talk:KohaCon11
10:33 Brooke                BobB there's a poll for what in particular?
10:33 jransom               so we could add the submitted abstracts to that list
10:33 BobB                  the next KohaCon11 meeting!  :)
10:34 BobB                  It was announced on list before the weekend, iirc
10:34 mtj                   perhaps the KohaCon12 website admins could check no submissions were deleted from database backups
10:34 Brooke                don't think they were deleted, think they were moved.
10:35 mtj                   hmm. ah ok...
10:35 jransom               We really should aim to put together a strong programme if possible: do we have a small group prepared to take charge of this?
10:35 jransom               and just get it done
10:35 rangi                 my only comment is i think kohacon11 has had about 20 more meetings than kohacon10 had ... time to start just doing
10:35 rangi                 and stop talking :)
10:35 jransom               +1
10:36 thd                   :)
10:36 jransom               so whose up for taking charge of the programme: MJRay plus who? Brooke? Shelley?
10:36 BobB                  Everyone's busy.  But there doesn't seem to be a local committee.  Just Koustabha.
10:37 jransom               Bob: It really isnt that hard to pull this together now
10:37 thd                   BobB: I think that is the problem
10:37 rangi                 yeah thats the thing lacking, and maybe something we need to make sure is understood for kohacon12 proposals
10:37 rangi                 if you bid to host it, you better organise it too :-)
10:37 jransom               time, date, place and attendees all sorted
10:37 jransom               just need a programme!
10:38 jransom               i agree. but having booked and paid I not willing to take a chance on it getting organised
10:38 * Brooke              doesn't care if there's a proper committee, but there better be someone on the ground that is seeing to things.
10:38 thd                   BobB: One person maybe a little too little for local planning without delegation to others..
10:38 Brooke                worse comes to worst, unconference in Vihang's Inn :D
10:38 jransom               :)
10:39 Brooke                I will review abstracts to the wiki that are not my own.
10:39 thd                   There should be no need for worse.
10:39 Brooke                hopefully someone else *hint you* will sign off as well.
10:39 * slef                = MJ Ray, software.coop, still in another meeting
10:39 jransom               will we use the koha community wiki to advance the programme?
10:39 jransom               yay:
10:39 jransom               MJ's here :)
10:40 Brooke                MJ any insight on the programme?
10:40 slef                  not yet. need more suggestions is the biggest need
10:41 Brooke                I have suggested that anyone with an unreviewed abstract move it to the wiki for approval
10:41 Brooke                2 signoffs that aren't theirs, like a bug
10:41 thd                   I think we should propose the wiki as an alternative for where the current software in use is failing.
10:41 jransom               i second that
10:42 jransom               and can someone copy submitted abstracts over?
10:42 slef                  Erm, or report the bug. I'll read scrollback later see if we need to act
10:42 BobB                  I think logistics are OK at this early stage.  What's needed is:
10:42 BobB                  more papers (in a programme) and more sponsors.
10:42 BobB                  #action:  I'll put another call for sponsors on the list
10:42 slef                  but there's only a few papers submitted so far
10:42 thd                   slef: Fixing the bug maybe easier and then we have everything in one place.
10:42 Brooke                the bug is that papers have been sitting in purgatory for months on end at this point.
10:43 Brooke                there are at least 8 when I could last see what was submitted
10:43 jransom               my post asking for ideas hasnt generated any new ideas
10:43 thd                   Brooke: Is that a humans in the system bug?
10:43 slef                  yeah I thought 7 Brooke
10:43 Brooke                kmkale is waiting on full papers over abstracts which frankly is not how conferences work.
10:43 jransom               OMG - is he expe ting a written paper from me?
10:43 thd                   Ahhh....
10:43 slef                  I've reviewed 2 abstracts, had nothing further from authors, I need to chase.
10:44 slef                  Brooke: I'm reviewing abstracts and have set ocs to work that way now (since last week)
10:45 thd                   jransom: kmkale may be hoping to prepare a book of conference papers as is customary for many types of conferences.
10:45 slef                  I need to ask kmkale if there's a nice way to contact reviewers
10:45 Brooke                that is *the* last step
10:45 Brooke                he's stated that he's done so twice.
10:45 jransom               ok. so rocking up with a presenation the day before is not going to cut it :)
10:46 jransom               (slack Kiwi's letting the side down :)
10:46 kf                    perhaps the written papers could be demanded once the program is set?
10:46 thd                   jransom: Some people who are uncertain of attendance may submit full written papers without actually attending.
10:46 kf                    so people know they will speak and when and how long...
10:47 jransom               a set date - 2 or 3 weeks out is reasonable. would allow time for printing / burning on usb drives etc
10:47 * Brooke              nods.
10:48 thd                   jransom: 2 or 3 weeks from when?
10:48 Brooke                from conference
10:48 jransom               out from conference
10:48 thd                   OK
10:48 Brooke                which at this point is quite rapidly approaching.
10:48 thd                   yes it is.
10:48 slef                  kf++
10:48 Brooke                kf that is generally how conferences work
10:49 Brooke                you submit an abstract
10:49 Brooke                someone goes "Hey this sucks!"
10:49 Brooke                or "Hey, this is cool."
10:49 Brooke                if it's the latter, you do the full paper
10:49 slef                  bbl sorry
10:49 slef                  (back in 70)
10:49 Brooke                but you build the programme on abstracts, not papers.
10:49 jransom               ok. lets take that approach - kmkale might be relieved
10:50 Brooke                at very least, we've a cherry of a keynote speaker.
10:50 jransom               lol
10:50 jransom               i cant talk for 3 days though:)
10:50 Brooke                no but I can ;)
10:50 rangi                 ive never submitted a written paper
10:50 kf                    me neither
10:50 hdl                   oh jransom of course you can :D
10:50 druthb                I have, but only once.
10:50 jransom               i have twice: natinal library board of singapore and VALA
10:50 kf                    normally they select only a few presentations for a publication
10:50 magnus_mobile         jransom: sure you can ;-)
10:51 jransom               oh ok - i was being modest :)
10:51 rangi                 i never even write a paper :)
10:51 rangi                 the kind of conferences that demand full papers = conferences i dont attend
10:51 jransom               o folks
10:51 jransom               shall we list decisions
10:51 Brooke                please
10:52 hdl                   Biblibre Will submit some papers on solr and latest developments.
10:52 jransom               1. we will develop programme from abstracts
10:52 Brooke                great thank you hdl
10:52 jransom               2. programme organisers will fill gaps with recruited speakers
10:53 jransom               3. slef will fix the bug in the website software
10:53 Brooke                not a software bug
10:53 Brooke                it's a bug between the keyboard and the monitor.
10:53 jransom               4. failing that / (or as well?) we will use community wiki?
10:54 jransom               5, what else?
10:54 Brooke                anyone OPPOSED to using the wiki as a fallback at this point?
10:54 thd                   The wiki should be available as a fallback for anything.
10:54 thd                   People should be encouraged to use the wiki more in fact.
10:55 magnus_mobile         yup
10:55 jransom               5. ANyone thinking of submitting an abstract please do so asap
10:55 druthb                thd++
10:55 Brooke                yup you have reservations or yup you're agreeing with thd?
10:55 kf                    hm, that will make the process open to everyone - not sure it's a problem if an abstract is rejected?
10:55 mtj                   i think we should switch to the kc.org wiki, until the kohacon12 website is stable
10:55 thd                   However, deferring to whomever is doing the hard work locally is reasonable.
10:55 jransom               so 4: use wiki as well as
10:55 rangi                 mtj: kohacon11 (not 12 yet)
10:56 BobB                  6.  Bobb will issue second call for sponsors.
10:56 * magnus_mobile       agreed with thd
10:56 Brooke                k #agreed http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Category_talk:KohaCon11 for new abstracts in addition to the VPM site. 2 signoffs as with a bug will approve an abstract.
10:56 Brooke                are we exhausted on this?
10:57 druthb                completely.
10:57 thd                   I hope we are :)
10:57 jransom               yup
10:57 Brooke                #topic kohacon 2012
10:57 kf                    we should probably use #action for this or #agreed (next time)
10:57 kf                    is there a deadline for the proposals?
10:57 kf                    for kohacon2012?
10:58 kf                    if not we should perhaps set one so we can move on to have a poll at some point
10:58 magnus_mobile         that' what i think we need to set...
10:58 magnus_mobile         i added some points to the wiki page for this meeting
10:59 kf                    #link http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Proposals_for_KohaCon12
10:59 magnus_mobile         deadlines for proposals and voting
11:00 kf                    I thik the goal was to have the place and date ready at kohacon11?
11:01 magnus_mobile         what's a reasonable deadline for proposals?
11:01 kf                    how long do we need for the poll?
11:01 jransom               i'm going to slope off to bed folks - night all.
11:03 magnus_mobile         1st september for the proposals, 1 month for voting?
11:03 kf                    sounds ok to me
11:04 kf                    all asleep now? :)
11:04 thd                   We should have proposals with sufficient time to vote a year on the question a year in advance of the event.  However, we may not have quite managed that.
11:05 Brooke                magnus that sounds good to me
11:05 magnus_mobile         anyone disagree?
11:05 thd                   magnus_mobile +1
11:06 kf                    +1
11:06 mtj                   +1
11:06 Brooke                #agreed proposals are due 1 September
11:07 mtj                   nice ;)
11:07 Brooke                anything else on KohaCon 12?
11:07 magnus_mobile         yay!
11:07 magnus_mobile         agreed on deadline for voting too
11:07 magnus_mobile         ?
11:08 Brooke                I'm gonna say so
11:08 thd                   magnus_mobile +1
11:08 Brooke                seeing no objections

11:08 kf                    +1
11:08 magnus_mobile         yay!
11:08 thd                   Voting does require some period of time to ensure participation.
11:08 mtj                   +1
11:08 Brooke                magnus++
11:09 Brooke                a month is more than enough time.
11:09 kf                    I think with setting up the survey we should have at least 3 weeks of time for voting
11:09 Brooke                4 were set
11:09 Brooke                we shall be fine.
11:10 * magnus_mobile       will update the wiki once he is on a proper 'puter
11:10 BobB                  .. and post the lists?
11:10 Brooke                anything else for KohaCon12?
11:10 thd                   Brooke: I had not understood that aspect of the proposal from magnus_mobile but I am fine with a 4 weeks voting period.
11:10 magnus_mobile         not from me
11:11 BobB                  I think there shoudl be some conditions ...
11:11 BobB                  Like only propose if you have an organising committee and resources to organise the event...
11:11 BobB                  and only vote if you intend to personally attend (or at least try).
11:11 magnus_mobile         one country can not host two years in a row is the only condition so far i think
11:12 kf                    I think Evergreen has a nice ilst
11:12 BobB                  kf: good find.
11:12 kf                    searching...
11:13 kf                    http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=eg09:conference_nominations
11:13 kf                    I think this was what I had in mind
11:13 Brooke                #link http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=eg09:conference_nominations
11:14 Brooke                #idea continue not to clash with EG if possible.
11:15 kf                    might not all apply for us, but perhaps a good starting point
11:16 thd                   kf ++
11:16 BobB                  yeah, its mostly pretty good.
11:16 magnus_mobile         looks good
11:16 Brooke                I can flesh out some things to think over
11:16 thd                   The last requirement about transport cost obviously cannot be applied internationally.
11:17 kf                    no, too hard
11:17 kf                    perhaps add something like international airport easy to reach?
11:17 kf                    cost is too difficult, too hard to evaulate too
11:18 Brooke                which is one of the reasons you rotate a conference venue
11:18 Brooke                another is fatigue
11:18 thd                   kf: Some worthy venues may be at a significant distance from an international airport.
11:19 Brooke                anything further to add to bidding procedure?
11:19 mtj                   that EG conference page is fantastic!
11:19 kf                    thd: true, but good train connections might make up for that
11:20 thd                   kf: Proximity to an international airport may mean that the cost of accommodations would be relatively high.
11:20 BobB                  Its a factor to consider, rather than a mandatory condition
11:20 Brooke                I agree Bob
11:20 kf                    thd: I didn't say anything about distance - but we are an inernational group so it should not be too hard to get to the conference venue
11:20 Brooke                I think most if not all of the conditions will be suggested
11:21 thd                   Yes, it is certainly a factor to consider.
11:21 Brooke                movin on from minutia
11:21 thd                   kf: It is the 'usual cost' wording which would be especially difficult to sort internationally.

11:22 thd                   kf: The intention is quite good with some more appropriate wording.
11:22 magnus_mobile         it's all on the wiki, i hope

11:25 Brooke                I am limiting time of discussion on this to ten minutes because I'm an iron fisted dictator.
11:25 druthb                +1 for ten-minute topic limits.
11:25 * druthb              needs caffiene.
11:25 magnus_mobile         Brooke++
11:26 druthb                Brooke++ #iron-fisted dictators.
11:26 mtj                   i suggest '2011-08-06'
11:27 Brooke                if you mean 6 August that is a Saturday
11:27 kf                    and time is 8 hours back I think
11:28 Brooke                3 August is that Wednesday
11:28 Brooke                but if you're keen on Saturday I'll let you do it, just be aware that you will not be like to have any playmates
11:28 mtj                   3 August 2011 at 18:00 UTC+0
11:28 BobB                  I have to go.  Thanks all.  Good night.
11:28 Brooke                cheers Bob
11:29 Brooke                thanks for toughing this out
11:29 mtj                   no no!  not saturday :)
11:29 Brooke                k
11:29 Brooke                any objections to 3 August 1800 UTC?
11:29 rangi                 hmmm shouldnt it be 0200
11:29 kf                    nope +1
11:29 rangi                 but i dont mind either way
11:29 magnus_mobile         +1
11:30 kf                    I think last was 20 for me, today is 12 - so should be 4 next
11:30 kf                    whatever this is in utc
11:30 kf                    we are doing -8 instead of +8 it seems
11:30 rangi                 yeah that would be 0200
11:30 kf                    ok, so I agree with rangi
11:31 kf                    although it
11:31 mtj                   rangi: ah - sorry, i thought the rule was add 8 hours
11:31 kf                    's an evil time
11:31 Brooke                for you
11:31 Brooke                for kiwis, not so much :P
11:31 kf                    yep for me :)
11:31 kf                    slept through the last 4 am meeting...
11:32 Brooke                so
11:32 rangi                 ok, im off to sleep
11:32 Brooke                objections to 3 August 2 UTC?
11:32 mtj                   3 August 0200 UTC
11:32 thd                   2 UTC is less desirable for more people than other times but my effort to find times which worked for everyone did not produce a great result.
11:32 mtj                   no objections from me
11:33 mtj                   +1
11:33 magnus_mobile         no objections, but i will probably not attend...
11:33 thd                   Much of Europe may be on holiday in early August so perhaps we would miss fewer people than usual.
11:34 Brooke                Much of Europe will be asleep at that time :P
11:34 * magnus_mobile       is on holiday now ;-)
11:34 kf                    yep
11:34 kf                    more asleep than on holiday I woudl guess
11:34 thd                   s/on holiday/on holiday and asleep/ # :)
11:34 Brooke                and the iron fisted dictator says your ten minutes is just about up!
11:34 kf                    oh :(
11:35 kf                    so, dictator set the last #agreed :)
11:35 Brooke                yep
11:35 Brooke                hearing nothing more brilliant
11:35 Brooke                #agreed 3 August 0200 UTC
11:36 Brooke                ta for coming all :)
11:36 thd                   Shifting by 6 hours each time may be something to consider in future.
11:36 magnus_mobile         ta for chairing Brooke
11:36 mtj                   thanx Brooke for chairing
11:37 thd                   Brooke: You have identified a problem with uploading and categories on the wiki.
11:37 * oleonard            is off to work. bbl.
11:37 thd                   Brooke: The uploading should be easy to fix.
11:37 Brooke                no skin off of my nose
11:37 magnus_mobile         yup, categories on the wiki are messed up
11:38 thd                   Brooke: When did you first notice a problem with setting the categories?
11:38 Brooke                a bazillion months ago
11:38 Brooke                you can sort of set them manually
11:38 Brooke                but that's a bit of a bear
11:38 thd                   a bazillion months ago all was fine and I was using it regularly.
11:39 magnus_mobile         or some plugin that turns the categories into a hierarchical list with checkboxes is not doing it's thing, to be precise
11:39 Brooke                ta da there are the words I lack
11:39 thd                   It does still work currently except that there are extra categories which have been added by something which may have been installed.
11:39 magnus_mobile         Brooke: close the meeting with the bot?
11:40 Brooke                oops

11:40 magnus_mobile         what is listed as categories are mostly not categories at all
11:40 thd                   magnus_mobile: do you have any better idea than a bazillion months ago?
11:41 thd                   magnus_mobile: exactly
11:41 magnus_mobile         can't really remember...
11:41 Brooke                winterish sound right to you Magnus?
11:41 thd                   magnus_mobile: Something must have changed as no one created those 'categories'.
11:41 Brooke                cause I want to say it was that long...
11:42 magnus_mobile         i seem to recall something was imported into the wiki. templates maybe? and then it happened...
11:42 nengard               database/mysql question
11:42 nengard               is biblioitem.totalissues populated?
11:42 nengard               it doesn't look like it on my system ...
11:42 magnus_mobile         yeah winterish
11:42 thd                   magnus_mobile: Do you remember what was imported?
11:42 magnus_mobile         in the northern hemisphere, that is ;-)
11:43 thd                   I am in the north and I had not had enough time for Koha during the winter.
11:43 magnus_mobile         thd: i think maybe the stuff that is now listed as categories
11:44 * magnus_mobile       apologizes for slow typing on mobile phone
11:44 thd                   magnus_mobile: Yes but I suspect that comes from installing an extension.
11:44 magnus_mobile         maybe, not sure
11:44 mtj                   nengard: nor for me either - an unused column perhaps?
11:45 thd                   My telephone number for similar big problems with the wiki +1 212-674-3783
11:45 nengard               mtj, any idea how to get totalissues - other than counting on the issues table?
11:45 thd                   I may not always look at email but I almost always answer the telephone.
11:45 nengard               or maybe items.issues
11:46 magnus_mobile         thd: noted
11:47 Brooke                thd talk to galen
11:47 thd                   I am going to look for the source of the problem now.
11:47 Brooke                he might have a better bead on this
11:47 thd                   Brooke: most likely
11:48 mtj                   nengard: my hunch is totalissues column is buggy
11:48 thd                   bugs are everwhere eeek :)
11:48 nengard               mtj - me too
11:48 nengard               reporting now
11:49 thd                   gmcharlt_: are you with us?
11:49 * magnus_mobile       wanders out into the sunshine and hopes to see everyone on good form on global bug squashing day!
11:49 thd                   Brooke: blocking uploads may have had something to do with the wiki spam problem.
11:49 nengard               bug 6557
11:49 huginn                04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6557 normal, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , biblioitems.totalissues unused

11:51 mtj                   nengard:  mysql> select sum(issues)  from items where biblionumber = 51;
11:51 * Brooke              feels a left join comin' on
11:51 mtj                   nengard: that sql should do the same, for a bib
11:51 thd                   Brooke: I am merely guessing and of course there is no intention of blocking anyone who is not a spammer :)
11:52 nengard               thanks mtg, it looks like the librarian wants the total issues for each item, so I didn't have to do the sum bit
11:52 Brooke                k I'm going back to bid because I'm ornery.
11:52 thd                   Brooke: If a hammer was the only tool at hand it may have been used on the delicate cake.
12:39 oakivil               so EDI never made it into 3.4
12:40 oleonard              Because the work is still in progress
12:40 oakivil               is there any place where to follow its current whereabouts?
12:46 oleonard              slef: Was sekjal working with you on that?
12:46 oakivil               yeah
12:47 oakivil               i guess i already asked them about it
12:47 oakivil               sekjal: where can I find more information about the EDI module?
12:47 oleonard              oakivil: sekjal is not here
12:47 oakivil               so it seems
12:47 oakivil               he hasnt been around in a while
12:50 oleonard              oakivil: Are you hoping to help develop or test, or are you just wanting to know when it's ready?
12:51 oakivil               to know when its ready
12:51 oakivil               oleonard: possibly help develop it if it will be in production for years
12:51 oakivil               oleonard: we definetely need to tweak it for our own needs anyway
12:52 oleonard              If you're going to need to tweak it anyway then I suggest getting involved now so that your "tweaks" can be incorporated
12:52 oleonard              Unless you plan on running your own branched version long-term
12:53 oakivil               we are still planning our steps to move to Open Source ILS'
12:53 oakivil               just finding out what modifications are needed to have Koha match our needs
12:53 oakivil               and what they might cost
12:54 oleonard              If EDI is a requirement then I suggest you inquire about helping to sponsor it
13:00 oakivil               does LibLime have its own proprietary code?
13:01 oakivil               I'm reading an article where it says the Enterprise Koha has more functionality than the community Koha?
13:01 oakivil               I thought Koha is licenced as such that it cannot be branched like that
13:03 kf                    long story
13:03 kf                    I would say different featuers
13:03 oleonard              LibLime bends the rules by promising to release code "soon."
13:03 kf                    there is a git repository now - but I think it's not the version they run for their customers
13:03 oleonard              ...and then not releasing code for years.
13:03 kf                    and there is no community
13:03 oakivil               sounds dirty
13:04 oakivil               so liblime is developing the EDI, so there will be no EDI for the community
13:04 nengard               oakivil, there will be EDI for the community because it's being worked on
13:04 nengard               it will probably be implemented differently
13:04 nengard               since developers didn't see the other EDI code before starting their work
13:04 oakivil               ok
13:05 kf                    not sure acq are the same in liblime koah and koha
13:05 kf                    I think they have the old acq module or get it
13:05 oakivil               hmm
13:05 oakivil               so what can I write about the community EDI?
13:05 kf                    get it being a different program
13:05 kf                    I think you should talk to slef and bywater
13:05 kf                    it's in the works
13:06 oakivil               slef: where can I follow the state of the EDI you are developing?
13:06 nengard               http://bywatersolutions.com/2010/10/13/bywater-solutions-and-software-coop-collaborating-on-koha-edi-support/
13:06 oakivil               seen that
13:06 wahanui               I haven't seen 'that', oakivil
13:07 oleonard              oakivil: Are you hoping to track an in-progress git repo?
13:07 oakivil               i presume they have some kind of project management system
13:07 oakivil               where they have tasks or goals set
13:07 oakivil               and % of completion
13:08 oleonard              ...
13:08 oakivil               lika JIRA?
13:08 oakivil               wiki?
13:08 oakivil               but google doesnt know :D
13:09 oleonard              wahanui: wiki is http://wiki.koha-community.org
13:09 wahanui               OK, oleonard.
13:10 nengard               those questions are for sekjal and slef
13:22 oakivil               hi sekjal!
13:23 oakivil               been waiting for you
13:23 sekjal                hi, oakivil
13:23 oakivil               sekjal: where can i get to know more about the EDI module?
13:23 druthb                run away, sekjal!  run away!
13:23 oakivil               now hold it there mister
13:24 sekjal                oakivil:  it's not so much a module as a series of scripts by software.coop
13:25 sekjal                slef has given ByWater access to those scripts, so that we can work on integrating them with current HEAD
13:26 sekjal                unfortunately, at this time, I don't have much to show.  my time has been devoted to other business lately
13:26 slef                  yeah, it drives C4::Acquisitions
13:26 oakivil               hmm
13:26 slef                  reacting to database and ftp stimuli
13:27 slef                  talk to me tomorrow when I'm not in a meeting
13:28 slef                  or interrogate sekjal
13:28 oakivil               hmm
13:28 oakivil               mhhmhhm
13:32 oakivil               sekjal: do you have any established goals for the EDI? A vision, use-case plans or similar?
13:35 sekjal                it should be able to handle the various EDI definitions used standard around the world.  the incoming file should be uploadable to a directory, whereby Koha parses the information according to the standard into the necessary places in the database
13:42 oakivil               ok
13:42 oakivil               sounds like we do it
13:43 oakivil               so it reads the daily changes/additions from a vendor and imports them to the database
13:44 oakivil               then the purchased items are actually searched from Koha's own database, instead of browsing a vendor catalog
13:44 oakivil               sekjal: or am i totally lost?
13:45 oakivil               sekjal: how is the purchase work?
13:45 oakivil               how does*
13:49 sekjal                oakivil:  don't know, exactly
13:54 oakivil               ok
14:19 kf                    sixcms--
14:46 rhcl_away             Am I late for the meeting, I wonder?
14:51 hdl                   rhcl: somthing like 4 hours.
14:53 rhcl                  oh
15:00 oleonard              rhcl: 10:00 UTC+0 = 6AM EDT
15:13 rhcl                  oh
15:20 oleonard              I'm sure sick of seeing "feature teasers" about "Liblime Academic Koha." Where's the mention of open source? Or has has it been agreed that it's not really open source after all?
15:23 kf                    chris_n: around?
15:24 kf                    hm, I lost track a little - what is the planned released date for 3.4.3?
15:24 kf                    oleonard: yeah :(

15:26 oleonard              re: Bug 6484?
15:26 huginn                04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6484 normal, P5, ---, oleonard, NEW , due date sorter on 'my summary' missing
15:27 sekjal                yes.
15:27 sekjal                is there any reason not to move the header sort info out of the Javascript, and into the <th>?
15:27 sekjal                since the number and order of columns varies so wildly on that page?
15:29 oakivil               sue liblime?
15:29 oakivil               but who gets the money :D ?
15:29 oleonard              sekjal: No reason not to that I know of, just haven't used that method in the past
15:30 sekjal                oleonard:  okay, cool.  when columns keep popping in and out depending on your settings, using column numbers to designate which to sort gets iffy
15:31 oleonard              Agreed.
15:31 sekjal                and I didn't see another way to do the headers by ID, except to put the markup in the <th>
15:32 reiveune              bye
15:35 rhcl                  I get the money. Pizza party at my shack upon receipt. Hackathon. With enough Lowenbrau the coders will transition nicely from Perl to Prolog, and Koha will be completely in Japanese on top of a MUMPS db.
15:36 kf                    oakivil: afaik there is nothing we can sue for
15:36 oakivil               rhcl: beam me up!
15:37 oakivil               i thought Koha licence prevents selling as proprietary, any part somehow connected to Koha
15:38 oakivil               or keeping the code to oneself
15:38 oakivil               and code must be made available on request
15:38 kf                    I am not a license expert, but I think some people looked into that
15:38 oakivil               ok
15:39 oakivil               i tust your verdict
15:39 wizzyrea              I think you're thinking of the AGPL
15:39 oakivil               cant really remeber how the licenses went
15:41 sekjal                oakivil:  so long as all the stuff they wrote is only hosted on their servers, not distributed to other people's machines, they can keep it closed-source
15:42 oakivil               clever!
15:44 oakivil               http://193.65.112.189/miscdist/Report%20of%20Koha%20Cataloguing%20v03.pdf
15:45 oakivil               wrapped up a preliminary raport about your cataloguing, acquisiton and authorities modules
15:45 oakivil               you can read it and then mock me all you can. I can take it :D Then after i have collected the bits of my self esteem I will correct it

16:10 nengard               on a roll
16:10 kf                    yeah I see it  :)
16:10 kf                    I am waiting for my new laptop - hope to do some bug squashing on friday :)
16:11 kf                    but not sure when it will arrive and how long installing koha and everything else willt ake :(
16:15 nengard               from 50 needing sign off down to 46 ... not sure i can test any of the others ... too many with out descriptions of the problem or the solution
16:15 oleonard              new_laptop++
16:17 kf                    nengard: I think we should ask some questions on them - but have not come around to do that :(
16:17 kf                    oleonard: I hope so :) on my old laptop loading a koha page takes 2 seconds
16:18 kf                    it's eight years old, time for retirement
16:18 oleonard              Indeed!
16:18 kf                    more 3-4 seconds actually
16:22 kf                    bye all :)
17:09 cait                  hi #koha
17:09 cait                  ah, now I missed paul_p
17:14 nengard_lunch         is there a way (jquery?) to add a link to the more menu in the staff client?
17:19 cait                  hm
17:19 cait                  jquery will work
17:19 cait                  but I wonder if there was/is a syspref
17:19 cait                  you can add more links to the nav bar - I did that for one of my libraries
17:20 nengard               yup, but this library wants it in the 'more' menu
17:20 nengard               not the nav bar ....
17:20 cait                  IntranetNav
17:21 nengard               yeah, i know about that one
17:21 nengard               but it adds it next to More not under More
17:21 cait                  if it doesn't work the description is wrong
17:21 cait                  Show the following HTML in the More menu at the top of each page on the staff client (should be a list of links or blank):
17:21 nengard               hmmm
17:22 nengard               it should say 'next to the More menu"
17:22 cait                  hm even before the More menu
17:22 cait                  looks a little weird with the cart now
17:22 nengard               yup
17:22 nengard               agreed
17:22 cait                  the cart should perhaps be at the end
17:22 nengard               will report a bug and fix the text
17:23 nengard               for that preference
17:23 cait                  want me to try and figure out the jquery for you?
17:26 cait                  hm, I am trying
17:27 huginn                New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 6558] intranetnav has the wrong description <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6558>
17:28 nengard               there, all fixed
17:28 nengard               thanks cait, jquery would be great
17:30 cait                  almost there, but looks a little wrong
17:31 cait                  $(document).ready(function(){
17:31 cait                  $("#moremenu .bd ul").append('<li><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/virtualshelves/shelves.pl">Lists again</a></li>');
17:31 cait                  });
17:32 cait                  will add your new link to the end of the list
17:33 cait                  do you need it to be at a special position in the list?
17:34 cait                  nengard?
17:34 wahanui               i think nengard is fast
17:34 cait                  right :)
17:34 nengard               hehe
17:35 nengard               End of list is fine :)
17:35 nengard               you're awesome
17:35 cait                  :)
17:37 nengard               cait++
17:37 nengard               works lovely
17:38 cait                  hm missing a plugin here to check if the li was inserted at the right place
17:38 cait                  hi oleonard
18:34 * slef                is speeding home through the midlands and west country
18:36 rangi                 oleonard: we should send marshall a press release about the bug sign off day, he publishes anything verbatim, best counter to the talk about liblime ils, is to talk about actual koha
18:37 rangi                 you know, the one people can actually download and use
18:37 rangi                 :)
18:40 oleonard              Hey, your pragmatism is interfering with my angry ranting :P
18:40 cait                  morning rangi
18:40 wizzyrea              ohsnap did someone just call rangi a pragmatist?!
18:40 cait                  I thik talking about real koha is the best thing we can do
18:43 rangi                 heh
18:44 slef                  someone should send nz some of these trains. tranzscenic is cool. SuperVoyagers are practical.
18:45 rangi                 track gauge here is wrong
18:46 rangi                 we cant have fast trains they fall off the tracks
18:46 rangi                 stupid narrow gauge
18:46 wizzyrea              d;oh
18:46 wizzyrea              d'oh
18:49 slef                  reguage as you replace. we did, twice IIRC.
18:50 slef                  SVs tilt to avoid falling off our tracks though :)
18:50 rangi                 yeah that would be sensible, our govt instead sold the track and trains to overseas interests who plundered it
18:51 rangi                 sold off most of the rolling stock
18:51 rangi                 forget who owns it now
18:52 slef                  yeah, ours too, then a later one did fun stuff to help the track co go bust and move track into a non-profit
18:52 slef                  probably foreign banks, like our trains
18:53 rangi                 most likely
18:53 slef                  one reguaging was done pre-nationalisation though
18:53 rangi                 they own most everything else
18:54 rangi                 I think here it would have to be done with pubkic
18:54 slef                  yeah 2d and kiwibank trade on not being furry nahs, don't they?
18:54 rangi                 public money even
18:54 slef                  shame their service is a bit random :-/
18:55 rangi                 if we keep this current govt, they'll sell kiwibank
18:55 slef                  (emubank?)
18:55 rangi                 and the last of the power co's too
18:56 rangi                 they are asset sales junkies
18:56 rangi                 ohh its making money, quick sell it
18:56 rangi                 morons
18:58 slef                  nutty. once sold, it's hard to get back anything worth having. Privateers (including most of the news media) flame expropriation
18:58 rangi                 yeah
18:58 slef                  no chance of getting them sold to trusts?
18:59 slef                  = remove them from the privatisation game, if done right
18:59 rangi                 highly unlikely, john key is a former investment banker
18:59 rangi                 privitisation is always the right thing
18:59 rangi                 its a dogma
19:00 rangi                 facts and logic have no place
19:00 slef                  hrm, you'd think a banker would be unelectable at the mo :(
19:00 rangi                 yeah
19:01 rangi                 election this year
19:01 rangi                 heres hoping
19:01 slef                  hrm, I'd best look at the police's website, see if my home is still cordoned off :/
19:01 rangi                 eeek
19:02 wizzyrea              !!
19:02 library_systems_guy   has anybody used druthb's migration scripts for Symphony before?
19:02 * wizzyrea            gets scared about slef's house being cordoned off
19:04 rangi                 library_systems_guy: not me, they've been used a few times tho I bet
19:04 rangi                 at catalyst we never touch the existing system, thats up to the library to do
19:05 library_systems_guy   sad day for the library lol
19:05 slef                  wizzyrea: http://bit.ly/oZT7Xo and my http://identi.ca/mjray
19:05 rangi                 well they have the license
19:05 rangi                 we dont
19:05 rhcl                  why do I keep getting disconnected I wonder
19:05 wizzyrea              slef :(
19:05 library_systems_guy   thats true...its amazing how hard it is to get your own data out of a legacy system
19:05 slef                  but no, cordon for another day... so I'll be dodging that then ;)0
19:06 wizzyrea              slef: how small of a town constitutes a "village" in england?
19:06 wizzyrea              how many residents?
19:07 rangi                 library_systems_guy: its unethical behaviour from the proprietary vendors .... free software ftw
19:07 slef                  wizzyrea: no formal definition. Parish (5 settlements) is about 3000 total IIRC
19:07 wizzyrea              aha, ty
19:07 wizzyrea              yea, that would be traumatic for a town that size
19:08 library_systems_guy   rangi: agreed
19:08 wizzyrea              I think in the entire time I lived in my hometown (about 4000 people) there was only one or two deaths that were remotely suspicious
19:08 wizzyrea              everything else was accidents or natural deaths.
19:08 wizzyrea              s/was/were
19:08 * wizzyrea            facepalms
19:08 rangi                 thats what they want u to believe
19:09 wizzyrea              stopit you're making me paranoid!
19:09 rangi                 heh
19:09 slef                  wizzyrea: we get 2 or 3 sus deaths a month, most are unremarkable, unreported
19:09 * wizzyrea            remembers that rangi has never been to lindsborg... feels better
19:09 rangi                 yeah way more sus stuff if id been there
19:10 wizzyrea              ^.^
19:10 rangi                 ok time to get up
19:10 rangi                 bb from the bus
19:10 slef                  wizzyrea: sus death = they hadn't seen a doc in3 months, here
19:10 slef                  I think.
19:10 wizzyrea              ooo
19:11 slef                  these had helicopters and stuff landing on the village green, which is still taped off afaik
19:12 slef                  I'm wondering whether to evade the cordon or just try riding straight through it like I did this morning :)
19:12 wizzyrea              zounds
19:13 slef                  if you don't hear from me again, I rode through and it ended badly :)
19:13 slef                  well I think there must be a good 200 home inside the cordon. can't stop us all
19:14 wizzyrea              you're such a rebel ;)
19:14 slef                  I suspect they're searching cars
19:14 wizzyrea              you'll be on your bike though, right?
19:15 slef                  but I don't know
19:15 slef                  yeah, so small, armoured and mobile
19:16 slef                  (I left in rush hour, so wore protective nonsense)
19:16 wizzyrea              huh, that's really bizarre: http://screencast.com/t/du3wdtkf0
19:17 slef                  bah... I've so,me rda podcasts to listen to but no motivation right now :/
19:17 slef                  wizzyrea: whassat (no browser open on phone atm)
19:18 wizzyrea              it's a screencast showing the guided reports wizard, on the location limiter, it shows values that aren't in the authorized values
19:18 wizzyrea              it's quite weird
19:18 slef                  Hmm. debug required?
19:18 wizzyrea              yea, I think so
19:19 slef                  one for bsp?
19:20 wizzyrea              mmm I don't think it's *that* big of a deal
19:20 wizzyrea              certainly less critical than other days
19:20 wizzyrea              s/days/bugs
19:21 slef                  sounds like a pita though
19:21 cait                  pita?
19:21 wizzyrea              pita is pain in the arse
19:21 wizzyrea              pita?
19:21 wahanui               hmmm... pita is pain in the arse
19:21 slef                  wahanui: PITA is pain inthe arse
19:21 wahanui               ...but pita is pain in the arse...
19:21 wizzyrea              pita is also a kind of bread, usually with pockets
19:21 wahanui               okay, wizzyrea.
19:22 wizzyrea              pita?
19:22 wahanui               i guess pita is pain in the arse or a kind of bread, usually with pockets
19:22 slef                  heh, time and typing fail
19:22 cait                  lol ok
19:23 slef                  hrm, think the passenger next to me is alighting... biab
19:29 slef                  today was fun btw... socomemcon :)
19:30 slef                  (SOftware.COop MEMbers CONference)
19:31 slef                  I have a pic. mle has tons
19:33 sekjal                does misc/translator/translate require any additional action to update a language's template files between 3.2 and 3.4?
19:34 cait                  action like?
19:34 slef                  can't remember sorry :(
19:34 cait                  for testing I used something like perl translate update de-DE
19:34 cait                  to see if new strings get added
19:34 cait                  I thik the script can do all languages at once now too
19:34 slef                  cait: like another command for the template language change
19:34 cait                  ah
19:35 cait                  hm
19:35 slef                  cait: like another command for the template module change
19:35 cait                  sekjal: rangi will now I think, should be back
19:35 slef                  I mean :)
19:35 cait                  soon
19:35 cait                  yep; I think I understood :)
19:35 cait                  I did a lot of testing, but not sure how it was done
19:35 slef                  cool
19:36 slef                  looked silent to me, then I realised I was crossing a not spot
19:36 cait                  ok- now I don't understand
19:36 slef                  (opposite of a hotspot)
19:37 cait                  ah
19:37 slef                  no network for 200m or so
19:43 rangi                 I can't recall anything special, fredericd is the one to ask about translation stuffs
19:45 cait                  ah ok
19:45 cait                  probably we didn't do anything?
19:46 cait                  there are not that many with template strings
19:46 cait                  got all fuzzy I assume - because placeholders work differently now
19:49 rangi                 yep
20:02 rangi                 yay sun is coming out
20:02 rangi                 shit
20:03 cait                  ?
20:03 rangi                 tsunami warning
20:03 wizzyrea              !!
20:03 cait                  :(
20:03 wizzyrea              http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/06/quake-pacific-idUSN1E7651IT20110706
20:03 wizzyrea              even better: http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/5247203/Tsunami-warning-for-New-Zealand
20:04 rangi                 poor kermadecs
20:05 ibeardslee            not good
20:05 wizzyrea              those are some teensy tiny islands
20:05 ibeardslee            is it just me .. or does poor old mother earth seem to be rebelling a bit more recently?
20:05 wizzyrea              people live there?
20:06 rangi                 the ring of fire is starting to piss me off
20:06 rangi                 yep they do
20:06 rangi                 not many
20:06 ibeardslee            rangi: less chilli then
20:06 * wizzyrea            rimshots
20:07 wizzyrea              1m, big or small tsunami?
20:07 rangi                 small
20:07 * wizzyrea            has no frame of reference for these things
20:07 rangi                 but still 3 feet
20:08 wizzyrea              well I know about how big a meter is :)
20:08 rangi                 and its not a single wave
20:08 rangi                 it just keeps coming
20:08 ibeardslee            more a surge than a wave isn't it?
20:08 rangi                 yeah
20:08 wizzyrea              a really wide wave
20:09 rangi                 more like a river than a wave
20:10 rangi                 kermadecs are quite a way away, so most likely nothing
20:10 rangi                 but 7.8
20:10 wizzyrea              that is pretty epic
20:10 rangi                 thats gotta leave a mark
20:11 ibeardslee            I did see some mention of some rattles felt in nz .. don't know if that was a separate incident or a ripple from that quake
20:11 rangi                 oh crap tonga
20:11 rangi                 hope it misses them
20:12 rangi                 right my stop
20:12 rangi                 bbiab
20:24 slef                  do the us or ca frack the pacififc rim?
20:25 slef                  wonder if that could affect it
20:26 cait                  hi sekjal
20:26 sekjal                hi cait
20:26 sekjal                sorry for disappearing; mandatory computer restart
20:28 slef                  right my stop... bbl
20:29 rangi                 http://en.securitylab.ru/lab/PT-2011-05
20:30 wizzyrea              hmm
20:31 wizzyrea              nice response time though
20:31 rangi                 i think we did ok there, 4 days after we got the details fix was out
20:31 rangi                 i sent ll a patch for theirs too, they havent integrated it yet
20:31 ibeardslee            compare that to other software
20:32 rangi                 so anyone running Liblime ILS will want to apply that patch manually
20:32 wizzyrea              hm, I imagine they can't do it directly :(
20:32 wizzyrea              they'd have to request it
20:32 cait                  hm, and they might not know they are affected
20:32 rangi                 we can only do what we can do, patch is based on their fork, so should apply clean
20:33 rangi                 thats about all i can do
20:33 cait                  you did good
20:33 ibeardslee            http://www.geonet.org.nz/tsunami/
20:34 rangi                 i think they cancelled the alert for nz now
20:58 jcamins_away          Oh, I missed an IRC meeting?
20:58 jcamins_away          Whoops.
20:59 slef                  back... cordon has fallen back 50m or so, the pub and my house are now outside it :)

20:59 wizzyrea              thank heavens... would hate for the pub to lose business ^.^
