23:24 Agent_Dani     bye!
23:24 libsysguy      thanks for all the help :)
23:24 libsysguy      ok guys im done migrating for today...ill see ya later :)
23:21 * druthb       can't imagine when she'd be typing Russian text...
23:20 jcamins_away   Don't try to change the case of Russian text in LibreOffice.
23:20 jcamins_away   Yikes!
23:15 Agent_Dani     hehe
23:14 libsysguy      hehe
23:14 * druthb       inserts a line into her scripts in odd places:     warn "This is just here to make libsysguy freak out.  Everyone else may relax."
23:13 libsysguy      so people like me don't panic lol
23:13 rangi          yep harmless warns but we should quiet them
23:12 libsysguy      man....when im staging im getting a lot of this: Use of uninitialized value $string in substr at /home/koha/kohaclone/C4/Matcher.pm line 731.
23:09 rangi          hi druthb :)
23:09 Agent_Dani     jcamins_away: Thanks. We do as well. It's been a bit over a year now, and she doesn't want to change employers so that makes things a little more difficult.
23:09 jcamins_away   Or at least have an eventual end in sight.
23:09 jcamins_away   Ah. Yuck. I hope the opposite schedules are temporary.
23:08 druthb         hi, rangi!
23:08 Agent_Dani     a) not much of an overlap so it really didn't help. b) Even though I was working 50+ hour weeks my manager's perception was that I was working far fewer hours, under the 40 minimum, and I was getting negative job performance marks as a result.

23:07 rangi          @wunder wellington nz
23:06 Agent_Dani     I tried to get a later schedule; got a 9:30 start time approved but it proved to not be worth it in two ways.
23:06 Agent_Dani     Yeah, not the best, that's for sure.
23:05 jcamins_away   That's awful!
23:05 jcamins_away   Yikes!
23:05 Agent_Dani     And my sympathies. My wife and I schedule lunch or dinner together during the week because that's the only way we get to see each other - she works 4-midnight Sun-Thurs while I work 7-3 M-F.
23:04 Agent_Dani     jcamins_away: Gotcha.
23:03 druthb         oooo
23:03 jcamins_away   So I'm considering the probability that she'll actually be able to go to a sit-down lunch tomorrow.
23:00 jcamins_away   Since the only reason I didn't get lunch there on my own earlier was because Shari was going to the scheduled lunch, she said we'd go tomorrow.
23:00 jcamins_away   (that is, there was a lunch organized by the graduate student subcommittee)
22:59 jcamins_away   We were supposed to go today, but they scheduled 45 minutes for lunch... not really enough time to go to a famous pizza place.
22:58 jcamins_away   We're at a conference.
22:58 Agent_Dani     Oh?
22:57 * jcamins_away considers the probability that his wife will be able to go to lunch tomorrow.
22:56 Agent_Dani     It was divine since I was starving.
22:56 * Agent_Dani   had some reheated last night.
22:56 Agent_Dani     Mmm, pizza.
22:54 libsysguy      exactly...the librarians felt bad for me having to work all day
22:53 jcamins_away   libsysguy: good job thinking ahead!
22:52 libsysguy      I have tons of pizza in the library fridge
22:51 * jcamins_away would like pizza.
22:50 druthb         ooo.   But I have eaten at one buffet today already, so I sha'n't, tempting as it is--there's a nice one just down the road in Lancaster.  not sure what I'll want.
22:44 libsysguy      that makes me want Chinese for some reason...maybe the word chow
22:44 * druthb1      is thinking when The Minion wakes, she will send her for some chow.

22:43 jcamins_away   @wunder chicago, il
22:40 libsysguy      hmm its cooling off here lol
22:40 jcamins_away   Thunderstorming here, too. I'd just as soon not go out and get drenched.

22:40 libsysguy      @wunder 75799
22:39 druthb1        It's been thunderstormin' here...very cool and nice, now.
22:39 jcamins_away   Well, you know what Knuth said about that, right?
22:39 druthb1        lol
22:39 libsysguy      only if you are using 0 based indexing
22:38 druthb1        oh, goodie!  Two of me!
22:36 * druthb       steps away, to switch networks.
22:33 * druthb       tries to Do It Once.
22:30 libsysguy      I guess i could go delete all the ones in the db then just reimport with the normal script
22:29 libsysguy      now i want to put the updated ones back in
22:29 druthb         oh.  rats.
22:29 libsysguy      then pulled them all out and modified the marc
22:29 libsysguy      well we imported them initially
22:29 druthb         should there be any matches in there to actually have to worry about?
22:29 libsysguy      or if it matters
22:29 libsysguy      im wondering if the 999c should be in quotes
22:28 libsysguy      yeah i know
22:28 druthb         yoiks.
22:28 libsysguy      is like over half our collection
22:28 libsysguy      ebooks
22:28 druthb         !
22:28 libsysguy      400M
22:28 libsysguy      the file is too big
22:28 jcamins_away   Looks right as far as I can tell.
22:28 druthb         (do it from inside Koha, maybe?)
22:28 libsysguy      hmm
22:27 druthb         I don't know the stage_biblios_file script, libsysguy, as I never use it.
22:27 libsysguy      jcamins or druthb does this look right: ./stage_biblios_file.pl --file=./kohaebooks.mrc --match-bibs=999c
22:26 libsysguy      mmm pretzels
22:26 * libsysguy    accepts cookies
22:26 jcamins_away   Hello.
22:26 * druthb       was a good girl, and only ate *one* of the wonderful soft pretzels at Eli's roadside stand.
22:26 libsysguy      and i can't get my exported records to import
22:26 libsysguy      so im pooped
22:26 libsysguy      well...i've written about 500 lines of js and css today
22:26 * druthb       offers cookies
22:26 druthb         hi!  how's the migration going?
22:25 libsysguy      did you bring me cookies
22:25 libsysguy      hey ruth
22:25 druthb         o/
22:24 libsysguy      it just locked up on me :'(
22:24 libsysguy      yeah it does
22:24 jcamins_away   libsysguy: I think so. In the user interface, it should let you change it using th dropdowns.
22:23 libsysguy      i assume that is correct
22:23 libsysguy      jcamins_away: when i specified a match ID i just said 999c
22:17 jcamins_away   rangi: is this what happened with the bug you just patched?
22:17 jcamins_away   Wait.
22:17 jcamins_away   Oh. Hm.
22:17 libsysguy      so i assumed it failed
22:17 libsysguy      so i licked back into it and the matching rule wasn't set correctly
22:16 libsysguy      and it looked like it was done
22:16 libsysguy      well i ran a top
22:16 jcamins_away   libsysguy: you should be able to just wait a bit, then go in and see that it's finished.
22:15 libsysguy      ugh the stage timed out
22:05 wahanui        jcamins_away: that doesn't look right
22:05 jcamins_away   wahanui: change it to something.
22:05 jcamins_away   "change it to something", that is.
22:03 jcamins_away   rangi: why does wahanui die every time I say change it to something?
22:03 * libsysguy    is lazy
22:03 jcamins_away   Just checking you knew that. :)
22:03 jcamins_away   Okay.
22:03 libsysguy      yeah i was just going to use the web interface
22:03 jcamins_away   libsysguy: you don't have to do anything on the command line.
22:02 libsysguy      yeah let me fix that and restage
22:02 wahanui        jcamins_away: that doesn't look right
22:02 jcamins_away   Okay, change it to your 999c rule.
22:02 libsysguy      it said it applied the "Do not look for matching records rule
22:02 libsysguy      ugh
22:01 jcamins_away   s/\./?/
22:01 jcamins_away   What matching rule does it say you're using.
22:01 jcamins_away   Take a look at that batch.
22:01 jcamins_away   The manage staged marc batches interface, I mean.
22:00 libsysguy      there
22:00 jcamins_away   libsysguy: go into the management interface.
22:00 jcamins_away   libsysguy: that's not good.
22:00 libsysguy      something seems odd there
22:00 jcamins_away   If I didn't need to attach things, of course, I would've just sent the message using telnet. :)
22:00 libsysguy      hey jcamins_away the staging script said it only matched 5344 bibs but processed 251198
21:59 rangi          :)
21:58 jcamins_away   rangi: I'd need to set up an actual proxy and not just port forwarding, if I wanted to use HTTPS. This was easier. :)
21:57 jcamins_away   Woohoo! It worked!
21:50 libsysguy      well then you sir are excused
21:50 libsysguy      oh
21:49 jcamins_away   libsysguy: using TLS.
21:49 libsysguy      w00t for unsecured email
21:48 jcamins_away   SMTP works fine.
21:48 jcamins_away   Set up a mail client, don't enter the password for IMAP.
21:47 libsysguy      Kitty!!! noo!!
21:47 * jcamins_away skins the cat.
21:47 rangi          i have an ssh server that listens on port 80 for that reason
21:47 rangi          rather than actually blocking
21:47 rangi          its probably just doing it port based
21:46 jcamins_away   Yup.
21:45 libsysguy      you are using the free one
21:45 libsysguy      ohhh
21:45 libsysguy      and you can't send email
21:45 jcamins_away   The problem is the tethering doesn't work with https.
21:45 jcamins_away   Oh, I've been tethered all along.
21:45 libsysguy      tethering?
21:45 * jcamins_away tries a different way of skinning cats.
21:44 libsysguy      complain to ATT
21:44 libsysguy      ouch
21:44 jcamins_away   Apparently Starbucks doesn't offer free wi-fi in Chicago.
21:21 libsysguy      gracias
21:21 jcamins_away   Good luck, libsysguy.
21:21 libsysguy      haha later jcamins_away
21:21 jcamins_away   Okay, time to go borrow Starbucks' wifi so that I can send e-mail.
21:10 jcamins_away   Yay! Glad to hear it.
21:09 libsysguy      working  jcamins_away++
21:05 libsysguy      i just didn't know what i was looking for lol
21:05 libsysguy      yeah i see them
21:05 jcamins_away   You'll find 'em.
21:05 jcamins_away   It's in misc.
21:05 jcamins_away   It's something like stage_marc_biblios and commit_marc_biblios.
21:05 libsysguy      ahh ok
21:05 jcamins_away   No, then you run the commit script.
21:04 libsysguy      so after i have staged them...do i run bulk marc import?
21:01 libsysguy      yeah i can look at it
21:01 jcamins_away   I don't remember the command line usage, but there's POD.
21:01 jcamins_away   Yep.
21:00 libsysguy      ok so now i go to the staging script?
21:00 libsysguy      )
21:00 libsysguy      (please god
21:00 libsysguy      ok i think that is it
20:59 wahanui        is 1000. has neutral karma
20:59 jcamins_away   score is 1000.
20:59 jcamins_away   Search index is Local-Number.
20:58 libsysguy      was that 1000?
20:58 libsysguy      search index and score?
20:58 jcamins_away   Leave it blank.
20:58 libsysguy      ?
20:58 libsysguy      normalization rule
20:57 libsysguy      well im going with what you have
20:57 libsysguy      right
20:57 jcamins_away   But that's for you.
20:57 jcamins_away   I generally use 999c and for description biblionumber.
20:57 libsysguy      hmm so so for matching rule code
20:56 jcamins_away   Don't worry about checkpoints.
20:56 jcamins_away   Did I miss any boxes?
20:55 jcamins_away   Offset and length should be zero.
20:55 jcamins_away   The match value (forgotten the exact label) should be 1000.
20:55 jcamins_away   Match threshold should be 999.
20:55 jcamins_away   So that's the index. The field is going to be 999 and the subfield is going to be c.
20:55 libsysguy      what should i set the match threshold to? 0?
20:54 libsysguy      gotcha
20:54 jcamins_away   Local-Number
20:54 libsysguy      or melm 999$c      Local-Number:n,Local-Number:w,Local-Number:s
20:54 libsysguy      melm 999$d      biblioitemnumber:n,biblioitemnumber:w,biblioitemnumber:s
20:54 jcamins_away   Okay, so that wasn't actually that tricky. It's hard for me to do, not having access to a Koha instance.
20:53 jcamins_away   You want the index that's listed after 999$c
20:53 jcamins_away   You'll need to locate that by looking in the file in etc/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/record.abs.
20:52 jcamins_away   It's something like Record-identifier.
20:52 jcamins_away   For reasons I couldn't possibly speculate on, it's not "Biblionumber."
20:52 libsysguy      *serious face one*
20:52 jcamins_away   You need the name of the biblionumber index.
20:52 libsysguy      ok
20:52 jcamins_away   Okay, now comes the tricky part.
20:51 libsysguy      but i found it
20:51 libsysguy      haha my thoughts exactly
20:51 jcamins_away   I don't actually have access to Koha right now, and I know exactly where the link is.
20:51 jcamins_away   Want to know how you can tell I see it too often?
20:50 libsysguy      i don't get into this side of koha too often
20:50 libsysguy      ohh i see it
20:50 jcamins_away   Or whatever the first section on the right is called.
20:50 jcamins_away   Last option under "Cataloging"?
20:49 jcamins_away   No. It's in Matching Rules.
20:49 libsysguy      is it in mapping?
20:49 libsysguy      hey jcamins_away...how do i set up that matching rule
20:43 libsysguy      ok cool
20:42 jcamins_away   Then you import the records using the stage and commit marc_biblios scripts.
20:42 jcamins_away   You create the rule in the administration module.
20:42 libsysguy      do i have to do it through staging?
20:41 jcamins_away   Fortunately, it's easy to create a biblionumber matching rule.
20:41 libsysguy      instead i get pseudo-unique
20:41 libsysguy      as a CS major i expect unique keys to be UNIQUE!!!
20:41 libsysguy      exactly
20:41 jcamins_away   I guess the theory has some evidence to support it. :)
20:40 libsysguy      way to let me down
20:40 libsysguy      and yes i do expect that
20:40 libsysguy      yes i do
20:29 jcamins_away   Someone (I don't remember who) posited that people with CS backgrounds expect ISBNs to be unique and consistent. :)
20:27 jcamins_away   (as opposed to libraries)
20:27 jcamins_away   libsysguy: you have a background in CS, don't you?
20:26 jcamins_away   Create a matching rule on biblionumber.
20:26 jcamins_away   libsysguy: I would not rely on ISBN.
20:20 libsysguy      hmm ok
20:20 cait           our nightly imports use the matching rules and staged tools on command line
20:20 libsysguy      hmm...i don't want to break it
20:20 cait           :)
20:20 libsysguy      haha
20:20 cait           but I am not sure how, my coworker does it
20:19 cait           I think it's possible - actually we do it
20:19 libsysguy      because half our collection is ebooks so its too big for the web interface
20:19 cait           you can use the tool > stagd marc import
20:19 cait           not sure
20:19 libsysguy      how do you do that with the shell
20:18 libsysguy      im assuming the isbn would work
20:18 cait           but you need something to match on
20:18 cait           cou can match and overlay
20:17 libsysguy      how can i re-import them and change all the records
20:16 libsysguy      hey if i exported all of my ebooks and modified the marc
18:37 cait           hi #koha
17:08 libsysguy      does anybody know how to set up fine/bill reasons?
15:14 druthb1        :)
15:14 jcamins_away   But seriously, LaTeX is so much nicer for publishing.
15:13 druthb1        :)
15:13 jcamins_away   :)
15:13 jcamins_away   Ah, I probably meant STEM.
15:12 druthb1        Oh!.  I'd heard STEM (add Engineeering), but not the shorter form
15:12 jcamins_away   AKA, those fields where LaTeX is more likely to be used.
15:12 jcamins_away   Science, Technology, and Medicine.
15:11 druthb1        STM?
15:11 jcamins_away   Maybe I should go into STM publishing.
15:09 druthb1        thanx, jcamins_away.  Jenny's op-ed is fantastic from end to end, and I *love* seeing a transwoman end up published there...and that got me stirred up
15:07 jcamins_away   druthb++
15:02 * druthb1      finishes up a looooong new blog post:  http://www.librarygeekgirl.net/2011/08/thanks-jenny/
15:01 jcamins_away   Okay, that's how I was going to do it, but I wasn't sure if there's a proper way to do it.
15:01 libsysguy      ^^
15:01 druthb1        hi, jcamins_away! :)
15:01 druthb1        (I do that.)
15:01 druthb1        Just go tell them.
15:00 jcamins_away   Does anyone here know the protocol for telling the manager of a hotel that one particular employee is extraordinarily professional and pleasant, and ought to be promoted?
15:00 druthb1        you're already way cooler than druthb1.
14:52 libsysguy      what happened?
14:52 druthb1        bah
14:40 libsysguy      just because I want to be as cool as druthb1
14:40 libsysguy      cool...then i shall do it in that order :)
14:36 druthb1        bibs/items, patrons, issues, bills, holds.  That's the order I do it.
14:21 libsysguy      that is probably the most confusing part for me :'(
14:21 libsysguy      what order do i run the scripts in?
14:21 libsysguy      so for bill holds patrons etc
14:17 druthb1        will.  :)
14:17 libsysguy      say hi to Lindsey for me :)
14:17 druthb1        :)
14:17 libsysguy      ohh ok...more Amish cookies?
14:17 druthb1        In and out.  my daughter and I are leaving shortly for a bus tour of the amish country.
14:16 libsysguy      are you going to be around for a bit incase i get confused on your scripts?
14:16 libsysguy      ugh...speaking of migrating patrons...that is my next big task :'(
14:15 libsysguy      understandable
14:15 druthb1        you bet.  I need it rather urgently, for a couple of my big projects.
14:14 libsysguy      but if you area already doing it kudos :)
14:14 libsysguy      I was hoping you would.  I have been so busy I haven't had a chance to clean it up
14:14 druthb1        I did.  I'm tidying up a few things, and fancying up a few.  I'd like to submit it to community, if you don't mind.
14:13 druthb1        One less SD library,one more Koha....the world will be a better place tomorrow, by just a taste, for your work today.  :)
