09:11 Tree_ Hello. One of our branch libraries is having difficulty logging into the staff client on a circulation desk computer. We get this message:  “Please tell your friendly system administrator or software developer the following:\nCould not js-ify the JSON: SyntaxError:syntax error\n\n”
09:12 Tree_ Does anyone have any ideas about what caused this?
09:14 akilsdonk_ joined #evergreen
09:16 paxed any errors in osrfsys.log?
09:16 rfrasur joined #evergreen
09:18 bshum Googling that error message, it looks like it might be related to quirks in processing copy templates
09:18 bshum Or at least, it's been raised before
09:19 * bshum refers to bug 997284 and bug 1075570
09:19 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 997284 in Evergreen "Copy editor: Error when Copy template names contain Czech characters " (affected: 4, heat: 18) [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/997284
09:19 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1075570 in Evergreen 2.3 "Printing reciepts from Evergreen with extended charset" (affected: 6, heat: 26) [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1075570
09:19 Tree_ Unfortunately, this is at a branch library and I am in the main office. Also, I should be up front that my knowledge of computers is probably not at the level of most people on this
09:20 bshum Tree_: Out of curiosity, what version of Evergreen are you using?  And are there other languages at play?
09:20 collum joined #evergreen
09:20 Tree_ it is 2.3
09:20 bshum berick: I can update the page whenever you folks are ready.  I'll create a milestone for you now though for 2.4.2.  :)
09:21 berick bshum++
09:22 berick i'm ready for 2.3.9 whenever.
09:22 Tree_ I saw those errors that were posted, but the issue seems to be in just logging into the system.
09:22 berick no rush, though
09:23 kbeswick joined #evergreen
09:31 mmorgan Tree_: is the problem just on one machine? Can they login with one username, but not another? If no user can login on that machine, maybe reinstalling the client might work.
09:34 bshum berick: I created the new milestones and got things moved over, but then as I stared marking things fix released I remembered that I had yet to actually go update the website page.
09:34 bshum I'll hit that up again in the next hour or so after I get to the office.
09:35 * bshum will be back later
09:38 Tree_ It is just one machine.
09:41 Dyrcona Tree_: I would do what mmorgan suggests and and have them reinstall the client on that one machine.
09:43 Tree_ Ok. thanks much
09:45 eeevil bshum: do you recall the blog's admin UI URL OTTOYH?
09:45 eeevil ew ... acronym soup
09:46 rfrasur nice
09:46 Dyrcona eeevil: Better watch it or the Otyugh will get you.
09:46 rfrasur "you might be doing something related to libraries if..."
09:46 * paxed spots a roleplayer
09:46 moodaepo eeevil: http://evergreen-ils.org/blog/wp-login.php (?)
09:46 * Dyrcona is guilty as charged.
09:46 eeevil rfrasur: "... you create random standards that no other industry will ever look at" ;)
09:47 eeevil moodaepo: thanks
09:47 Dyrcona eeevil++
09:47 montgoc1 joined #evergreen
09:47 rfrasur eeevil: I was refering to the prolific use of acronyms but your point is also valid
09:47 eeevil rfrasur: I know ... just been thinking about NCIP a bit
09:48 * rfrasur met a librarian yesterday that said "I catalog how I want to...so I can find things for people."
09:48 rfrasur I about kissed her but it would have probably been frightening
09:48 Dyrcona NCIP: the standard that isn't!™
09:48 rfrasur I don't even know what NCIP is.
09:48 * rfrasur fires up Google
09:49 paxed insipid. err, no that's not quite right ... :P
09:49 rfrasur oh dear God...not today.  I am not reading any of that.
09:49 jboyer-isl It's a complicated way to replace a simple pseudo-standard. Like most things.
09:49 Dyrcona rfrasur: z39.83 National Circulation Interchange Protocol
09:49 * rfrasur puts up a hand and goes back to sorting email
09:50 Dyrcona jboyer-isl: Except that with this standard two implementations can conform perfectly and still not be able to communicate with each other!
09:50 Dyrcona yay!
09:51 jboyer-isl That feature's not entirely new, it was inheirited from SIP.
09:52 Dyrcona We'd be better off with 3M's SIP, or maybe we should switch to telephony?
09:52 * Dyrcona goes back to hunting Otyughs....
09:53 yboston joined #evergreen
09:53 * rfrasur looks at pictures of Darth Sidious < insidious < insipid < NCIP
09:55 paxed hah. commenting out an entry in opensrf.xml <marctemplates> causes a "#comment" entry to show up in the template list.
09:57 rfrasur kmlussier: bshum: Dyrcona: anyone_else: How is Evergreen training (for library staff) handled in your consortium?
09:58 Dyrcona rfrasur: By people other than myself who do not hang out here.
09:58 rfrasur I didn't ask the question right.
09:58 * rfrasur removes the question
09:59 Dyrcona rfrasur: We have a small classroom at our central office. So some classes are held there.
09:59 kmlussier rfrasur: I can't answer that, but it might be a worthwhile question for the list. I know one of my colleagues from NOBLE is planning to do something on the wiki to share training ideas.
09:59 rfrasur yeah
09:59 Dyrcona rfrasur: Our trainers will also have classes at member libraries for that library's staff and others nearby.
09:59 rfrasur I'm trying to grab a thought out of the either that keeps wandering away
10:00 rfrasur hmm...the ether
10:00 rfrasur ty
10:00 rfrasur kmlussier: When it's a real question, I'll send it to the list.
10:01 Dyrcona We want to do more online/remote training, but our members don't seem so enthusiastic about it.
10:01 Dyrcona I agree, that is a good question for the general list.
10:04 Dyrcona You
10:04 Dyrcona OOps
10:04 Dyrcona you'd get better answers via email.
10:05 rfrasur I'm not concerned with the quality of answers at this point.  Just a vagueish idea.

10:18 rfrasur When an email address is invalidated in the patron edit screen does that keep it from being used again?
10:19 ericar_ joined #evergreen
10:25 mmorgan rfrasur: pretty sure the answer is no. Invalidating an email address clears it from the field in the patron record and adds a message about the invalid email.
10:26 mmorgan you can enter the same address back in the email field and the message goes away.
10:26 rfrasur mmorgan: thanks.  I noted that it did clear the field but didn't notice a message.  That could be because I added my own though.
10:27 mcooper joined #evergreen
10:27 mmorgan I actually had to reload the patron (F8) to see the message. It didn't refresh until I did that.
10:28 rfrasur okay, I'll go in and test it.  I was wondering if it'd be a good idea to bar email addresses...but I can see that being a bad idea as well.
10:30 jeff there's no current method to do so.
10:30 jeff i've not had need to do so here.
10:31 rfrasur well, honestly, the only need to do it here stems from repeated inaccuracies in input...and a lack of attention.
10:31 rfrasur I'm not sure those things can be fixed by software modifications, however.
10:36 Dyrcona Some of the more common typos could be caught by software, but those would likely be site-dependent.
10:37 rfrasur yeah - and it seems like it'd be like trying to catch a mouse with an elephant gun anyway.
10:37 * rfrasur will just remind staff again...and probably again.
10:37 dbs rfrasur: training in our consortium is handled... arguably poorly (due to lack of resources) and on an ad-hoc basis (ibid)
10:38 Dyrcona I think one of the big issue here is that this sort of data entry is often done at a busy circulation desk.
10:38 Dyrcona Yipes... bad editing.
10:39 Dyrcona I think the big issue here is that this sort of data entry is often done at a busy circulation desk.
10:39 Dyrcona There we go.
10:39 rfrasur dbs: ty - it seems like it's pretty diverse across the EG community...whether there's a really mature training regimen or, like you said, ad hoc
10:40 rfrasur Dyrcona: you're right...and sometimes by people that don't understand exactly what they're typing (believe it or not)
10:42 rfrasur Sometimes I wonder if patrons also somehow think that it's better to give a bad email address than none at all.
10:42 csharp ok, I'm working on a fix for bug 1203734... ideally I'd like to use the 'action.all_circulation' view to grab the data for total circs, but when I try to add it to OpenILS/src/perlmods/lib/OpenILS/Ap​plication/Storage/Driver/Pg/dbi.pm, it breaks open-ils.storage
10:42 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1203734 in Evergreen ""Last Few Circulations" total circulation count does not include aged circulations" (affected: 1, heat: 6) [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1203734
10:43 csharp any suggestions from more experienced devs?
10:43 mmorgan rfrasur: there's a library setting that use a regular expression to ensure that at least an email address LOOKS like an email address "Regex for email field on patron registration"
10:43 rfrasur mmorgan: does it work for gov issued emails and university types?
10:46 csharp my added lines look like this: http://pastebin.com/8ygzAA01
10:46 csharp I'm assuming there's some other component for adding access to a table I'm not aware of
10:48 jbfink joined #evergreen
10:50 mmorgan rfrasur: it's a unix regular expression, so if those email addresses fit into a unix regex, it can help. Ours just checks for the @ and the . in the proper places, and no bad characters.
10:51 jbfink heeey folks
10:51 rfrasur okay, I'll talk to our local people when I have time to see if that's something we might look at...get guidance on...etc. jboyer-isl: rjackson-isl
10:51 rfrasur mmorgan++
10:51 jbfink I'm trying to do up a Docker instance of Evergreen, but I am having slight annoyance with ejabberd.
10:51 dbs jbfink!
10:52 jbfink dbs!
10:52 * dbs has no idea what Docker is
10:52 jbfink http://docker.io
10:52 jeff jbfink: are you running into issues when the hostname changes, or something else?
10:52 jbfink it is OS-level virtualization
10:52 jbfink and it is awesome
10:52 jbfink yes, the hostname
10:53 jeff so, it's a bit of an annoyance. you're likely going to want to hardcode a node name into /etc/defaults/ejabberd -- which will not help much until you kill ejabberd and nuke the contents (assuming you don't care about any ejabberd such as users, etc) of /var/lib/ejabberd
10:54 dbs joined #evergreen
10:55 * jeff waits for ec2-start-instances to return
10:55 jbfink does ejabberd store any data (aside from accounts/pw?)
10:55 jeff in an evergreen setup, no.
10:56 jbfink ok
10:56 jeff if you were using ejabberd for other things, maybe.
10:56 jbfink I wasn't planning on it.
10:56 jeff in my /etc/default/ejabberd i have an explicit ERLANG_NODE=ejabberd@localhost
10:56 dboyle joined #evergreen
10:57 jbfink ahhhh
10:57 jbfink ok, I will try that.
10:59 jeff i recall it being tricky -- may simply have been that i needed to manually kill ejabberd / epmd / beam since i had lost the ability to control it with the init scripts and ejabberdctl (since the hostname had already drifted from what was in the ejabberd mnesia database)
10:59 jbfink yay it started
10:59 jbfink ok
10:59 jeff also, there's usually at least one hidden/dotfile in /var/lib/ejabberd
10:59 jbfink thanks jeff!
10:59 jeff jbfink: you're welcome! glad it was somewhat simple to fix!
10:59 jbfink got opensrf like 99% done. Got one problem with the srf shell that I will pick at today.
11:00 jeff jbfink: i'm interested to hear what your thoughts on docker are, perhaps after you've used it more (if it's brand new to you)
11:00 jbfink if this works though it will make deployment (in test instances at least) like about super super easy.
11:00 jbfink I've done some work with it.
11:00 jbfink I would not call myself an expert, but boy, is it something  really intriguing.
11:00 jbfink I did a Koha container for it. :) http://index.docker.io/u/jbfink/koha
11:01 dbs jbfink++
11:01 CarrieC joined #evergreen
11:10 rfrasur RoganH: Do you have a minute to talk about the inventory module project?
11:11 RoganH Sure, I was just working on more emails about it!
11:11 RoganH And failing at simple copy pastes!
11:11 jbfink actually it doesn't work after all
11:11 jbfink fprhghblblbltlty
11:11 jbfink will dig
11:12 jbfink what I *should* have done is force localhost *before* initial ejabberd run
11:13 jbfink when/if I redo image, I will do that.
11:14 jbfink in the meantime, I am explicitly declaring the old container's name in /etc/default/ejabberd, which is ugly but eh
11:14 jbfink and may not work anyway 'cos I just did it and redid /etc/init.d/ejabberd start and it's just going "................................​................................"
11:14 jbfink fun
11:14 jbfink oh wait no I am sorry
11:15 jbfink it went ".................................​..........................failed"
11:15 jbfink yhay
11:15 jbfink hey let's go back to chopchop or whatever that other one was
11:15 dbs jbfink: yeah, what jeff said: you probably need to apt-get purge ejabberd / blast the hell out of /var/lib/ejabberd (adjust for whatever OS you're running) and try that part again
11:15 jbfink I will do this.
11:16 jbfink luckily docker.io is sort of like git crossed with a VM in that you can go back to arbitrary commits
11:16 dbs chopchop was removed from opensrf (sorry) :)
11:16 jbfink just gotta figure out which commit had the state before I ran ejabberd for the first time
11:16 jbfink I will do this and report back.
11:16 bshum blast_the_hell_out_of_it++
11:17 jbfink in case you're wondering why I am back doing evergreen stuff for the first time since like 2009 it's because, um, we might be thinking about ditching our ILS. :D
11:17 jbfink so I'm getting prepared.
11:18 dbs jbfink: hey, there's a consortium in your province... :)
11:19 jbfink DBS: WHAAAAAT
11:24 * jeff sets Apt::Get::PurgeOrbitalNuclearOption true
11:31 jbfink buh
11:32 jbfink ejabberd still complaining. I don't suppose it's possible to tell /etc/default/ejabberd to not give a wet slap what the hostname is? like ejabberd@*?
11:33 jbfink only one way to find out
11:36 jbfink no. fuh. ok.

12:08 zed1 Has anyone upgraded a 2.3.7 database to 2.4?
12:09 zed1 I'm getting the following error and a CAST does not seem to work
12:09 zed1 psql:version-upgrade/2.3-2​.4.0-upgrade-db.sql:1877: ERROR:  function unapi.bmp(bigint, text, text, text[], text, integer, hstore, hstore, boolean) does not exist

12:12 rfrasur adbowling-isl:does a RAID virtual disk configuration getting smoked mean that it needs to be reformatted and the stuff put back on it?
12:16 bshum zed1: That sounds like you're missing a function.
12:16 * bshum checks to see when that got added... maybe there's a quirk
12:16 * bshum needs more hands and eyes
12:19 acoomes_ joined #evergreen
12:19 smyers_ joined #evergreen
12:19 dbs zed1: are you running the upgrade script from the 2.4.1 tarball?
12:20 bshum unapi.bmp's been around forever.  But maybe it's complaining because it's missing a newer version of that function.
12:21 bshum In the 2.1-2.2 upgrade it changes to have hstore, it looks like.
12:21 jboyer-isl rfrasur: I think he's at lunch, but what makes you ask? (There are a veriety of answers...)
12:22 dbwells bshum: It appears to be complaining because it is interpreting arguments 2 and 3 as 'unknown' when they are text, thus the signatures don't match.  Why it is doing that seems to be the question.
12:22 bshum Huh
12:24 dbs Not int vs. bigint?
12:25 dbwells Ah, missed that, could be that as well.
12:27 rfrasur jboyer-isl: a colleague asked me to translate
12:28 zed1 Sorry, I was composing an email for the list.
12:28 dbs zed1: \df unapi.bmp might be helpful
12:28 rfrasur I can guarantee they don't want the actual answer...because it'd be Greek...so was trying to get it as close to something they'd understand as possible.
12:28 zed1 I've tried doing a number of casts, none seem to work. I have not tried 2.4.1,
12:28 dbs zed1: you shouldn't have to do any casts
12:30 zed1 I can see the function in the database, the parameters are different than the error message
12:30 dbs showing us would be helpful
12:30 dbwells I am beginning to think bshum might be right after all, I misinterpreted the error.
12:30 eeevil bshum: whenever you're ready, the 2.4.1 blog post is set and the files are in their correct place (I believe)
12:30 * bshum shouldn't talk about errors when he hasn't had lunch yet.
12:31 csharp @blame add $who is NOT CONNECTED TO THE NETWORK!!!
12:31 pinesol_green csharp: The operation succeeded.  Blame #12 added.
12:31 bshum csharp++ that's awesome :D
12:32 dbwells csharp++ I love it :)
12:32 rfrasur csharp++ funny
12:32 csharp we're like the only 20 or so people in the world who would even get that reference :-)
12:32 eeevil bshum's correct, I believe ... that's a really old version of the unapi, er, API ... probably purged during an upgrade because it's unused by the software itself. zed1, are you calling that function directly, of via some customization of the code?
12:33 eeevil s/of/or/
12:33 rfrasur csharp: while I may not get it in your context, it's applicable in many, many OTHER contexts.
12:33 zed1 I'm running the 2.3-2.4.0-upgrade-db.sql upgrade script that comes with the 2.4 release
12:33 csharp rfrasur++
12:35 dbwells zed1: can you paste the \df unapi.bmp somewhere?  Or did I miss it?
12:35 eeevil hrm...  actually, I was looking at that wrong. dbwellsI think /you're/ right ... int vs bigint
12:35 eeevil er
12:35 eeevil dbs
12:35 eeevil (and, I'll bet, a dump/restore into a newer PG)
12:38 zed1 Sorry, I'm new to chat, what does \df mean?
12:39 dbwells zed1: it is a psql command to describe the function
12:42 zed1 Schema | Name | Result data type |                                                                                                               Argument data types                                                                                                               |  Type

12:45 rfrasur (is there some reason why service people think that when I call, I'm just expressing a pending desire to possibly have them consider maybe doing some type of work?...like having a water leak is just something that can wait to get fixed til they maybe want to possible show up?)

12:53 pinesol_green [evergreen_website|Ben Shum] Downloads - Evergreen 2.4.1, 2.3.9 releases - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Ever​green_Website.git;a=commit;h=651ee3d>
12:59 bshum Should be all set.  Copied the 2.3 stuff to place and also moved the 2.4.1 readme to the doc/install place
13:05 dbwells zed1: Not sure what is going on, but as a basic troubleshooting step, can you run the CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION starting at line 1787 on its own, outside the upgrade.  If this is on a production machine, please take adequate precautions, as I am not sure if this function alone would be 2.3.7 compatible (although I believe it is).
13:08 zed1 Don't worry, this is a backup of a dev DB. I'll run it this afternoon and get back to you. I have a meeting coming up.
13:10 gsams___ joined #evergreen
13:12 dbwells zed1: sounds good.  Real-world feedback of the upgrade scripts is very valuable!

14:37 jcamins rfrasur: your service person arrived eight hours late?
14:37 jcamins ... without the part that s/he knew before leaving was going to be needed?
14:37 rfrasur no...they just weren't exactly where I needed them when I was freaking out.
14:37 * rfrasur was in the wrong this time
14:37 rfrasur but, I HAVE had that.
14:38 jcamins That would destroy my faith in service people. I have great faith that they'll be eight hours late and unprepared to deal with the issue.
14:38 rfrasur we were just on the cusp of closing the library or finding a shut off valve...and I actually called to explain that it wasn't just an exterior leak anymore...but into the basement and they were here in 15 minutes.
14:38 rfrasur jcamins++
14:39 rfrasur that's only when we're dealing w/ the cable company...though they're pretty good now (probably because they know I'll keep calling incessantly if they don't show up in a reasonable amount of time)
14:39 rfrasur we gotta have bathrooms, lights and the internet
14:43 eeevil rfrasur: that, minus lights, matches my general set of requirements for survival as well!
14:44 rfrasur eeevil++ #me too - and I prefer natural light anyway...or the backlight of a monitor.

15:12 gsams I have two questions if there is anyone willing to help out with a few things.
15:12 tsbere ask away. If we can help we likely will.
15:13 gsams For some reason, Google Analytics doesn't seem to be taking and I'm not sure what might be the problem
15:13 * tsbere doesn't use that, and thus has no input
15:13 bshum gsams: Hmm, that's a config.tt2 setting right?
15:14 * bshum also doesn't use google analytics anymore.  Long live piwik!
15:14 gsams yeah, I've got it enabled and with the correct code, multiply verified
15:14 bshum (or I guess I wish I was using piwik)
15:16 gsams turns out jeff left me a message that I didn't get until today that should answer my other question
15:16 gsams jeff++
15:16 jeff you're welcome!
15:16 jeff glad you got the message. :-)
15:17 bshum gsams: Did you reload apache after you set the value?
15:17 gsams I thought I did, but I suppose I could do that again tonight just to be sure
15:18 gsams jeff: thanks for sending it along!

15:57 bshum jeff: Someone complaining at us for using record by ID.  Apparently they were hoping to use the jackets by ISBN.  evanced (summer reading?)
15:58 jeff ?
15:58 jeff ac by record id does not at this point disable ac by isbn.
15:59 jeff i'd be interested in more specifics if you have them
15:59 bshum Err, I just mean I think they're thrown for a loop cause all our jackets use the r/id extension now
15:59 bshum And they were trying to piggy back our images
15:59 tsbere That sounds rude
15:59 tsbere They should get their own images ;)
15:59 bshum That's what I haven't been sure about.  I'm collecting more information as I can.
16:01 rfrasur lol

16:23 * dbs worries "think of the conjoined children!" of bug 1097915
16:23 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1097915 in Evergreen "tpac: conjoined items are not supported" (affected: 2, heat: 16) [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1097915
16:25 rfrasur I love doing something stupid that works out for the best in the end.  If only life were like that all the time.
16:37 gsams bshum: I went ahead and restarted apache and I'm still seeing nothing to indicate that analytics is working
16:38 bshum gsams: It was just a kneejerk reaction; I always worry about apache reloading :)
16:38 bshum dbs++ "conjoined children" :)
16:38 gsams Not a bad reaction honestly, I'm still not sure if I had done it before that though
16:39 dbs a change to .tt2 shouldn't require an apache reload
16:40 gsams dbs++ something I wasn't sure about
16:40 dbs gsams: no Web Console messages from the web browser dev tools of your preference?
16:46 gsams dbs: nothing, but I'm not as entirely familiar with the dev tools as I probably should be.
16:48 bshum gsams: Changing the goog_analytics.tt2 line to just plain "IF google_analytics.enabled" did the trick for me.
16:48 bshum That = 'true' was doing something weird there.
16:48 bshum Might be a bug.
16:49 gsams yeah that did it, analytics found it no problems
16:49 bshum Err, == 'true' rather.
16:49 tsbere could be something crazy like it actually being true, not 'true', and thus not matching
16:49 misilot joined #evergreen
16:50 bshum Hmm
16:50 * tsbere hates boolean keywords as string values in contexts like that
16:51 jeff huh. wonder what happened here: <leader>02712cim a2200661Ia 4500<datafield tag="901" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">AUTOGENERATED-543</subfield><subfield code="b">AUTOGEN</subfield><subfield code="c">43816969</subfield><subfield code="t">biblio</subfield></datafield></leader>
16:52 jeff very few instances of that (only one found so far)
16:52 Dyrcona jeff: Looks like the symptoms of authority update with bad fields destroys bibliographic record.
16:52 * Dyrcona has seen that before.
16:53 bshum gsams: We'll have to ponder what the problem is, but for the moment, the setting should take effect with that tweak to the file.
16:54 jeff hrm. eight.
16:54 jeff nine... bah.
16:54 gsams bshum: there appears to be another problem unfortunately
16:55 gsams bshum: the code is showing up as UA-9999999-99 instead of what was entered into config.tt2
16:55 bshum gsams: I was just thinking about that next
16:55 bshum Thought it looked funny
16:58 bshum That is weird.
16:58 bshum Almost like it's grabbing the default value
16:58 bshum AHA
16:58 bshum gsams: Your templates aren't just in /openils/var/templates
16:59 bshum You've got config.tt2 in each templates_library
16:59 bshum And that's where it's drawing from
16:59 gsams Ah!
16:59 bshum The settings and such
16:59 bshum No bug in the code, it's just drawing from your templates_ntlc default for the consortium level
16:59 bshum And etc.
16:59 * bshum puts back the == 'true' to the stock template file
16:59 rfrasur (our library is getting ready to introduce a seed library and I'm very, very, very excited about it)
17:00 gsams bshum++ I'll get to work on that then
17:00 Dyrcona A seed library... What's the circulation duration for a seed?
17:00 bshum gsams++ #sweet deal and also lesson learned for me... I always forget the template overrides :(
17:00 rfrasur forEVER!
17:01 rfrasur I wish we could actually get a real circ statistic on it...but will figure that out after it gets rolling and people care enough.
17:02 gsams bshum: I didn't even think to check that at all, thanks again
17:03 bshum gsams: No problem man.  I couldn't remember how it was all setup either :)
17:04 bshum Glad it's not a bug or other problem.
17:06 bshum Dyrcona++ tsbere++ #for live testing the pain and suffering ahead of the rest of us
17:06 bshum (and fixing it)
17:07 Dyrcona Who said anything about fixing it? ;)
17:08 Dyrcona Well, the first attempt caused a different error, but we'll have it by the end of the week, I'm sure.
17:08 * tsbere made things worse, a nicer error for the user, but then a crashed circ backend
17:08 bshum Dyrcona: That's just implied :)
17:08 tsbere I obviously am going about it wrong

17:16 * Dyrcona would not say anything is "obvious" in the bowels of Circulate.pm.
17:18 tsbere I say something is obviously wrong when the drone decides to crash when it is done running my code changes. *What* is wrong is a different story.
17:19 Dyrcona :/
