12:49 pinesol_green gmcharlt: Quote #124: "<kmlussier> True fact. NOBLE never runs out of coffee." (added by gmcharlt at 02:44 PM, October 15, 2015)
12:49 Dyrcona @quote random
12:49 pinesol_green Dyrcona: Quote #38: "<jcamins> At least your MARC frameworks aren't painful to use." (added by Dyrcona at 07:42 PM, December 06, 2012)
12:51 kmlussier I'm so happy to see that NOBLE will now always be known in the Evergreen community as the place that doesn't run out of coffee.
12:53 gmcharlt when all else fails, our last, best hope against the perils of uncaffeination
12:53 tsbere kmlussier: Right up until someone comments that NOBLE is out of coffee and it gets added to the quotes list, right? :P
12:53 mmorgan Heh. We have often discussed having it piped through the walls and ceiling to our desks. I *think* we were only half serious.
12:53 Dyrcona I.V. drip.
12:54 Dyrcona I guess you don't get the aroma or the flavor that way, though.
12:56 * mmorgan notes that we also have decaf, and tea.
12:58 mmorgan Dyrcona: But I would worry about that I.V. thing. Don't think we'll pursue that as a development item ;-)
12:58 * kmlussier was about to make a snide remark about decaf and then realized that csharp will probably appreciate having decaf available.
12:59 dMiller_ joined #evergreen
13:00 kmlussier Speaking of caffeine, I appear to be in need of some.
13:04 bmills joined #evergreen
13:06 csharp kmlussier++ # yep ;-)
13:08 ericar joined #evergreen
13:29 csharp kmlussier: mrpeters: (I just read up) - yes, we're running PG 9.3 in production and testing EG 2.9 on PG 9.4
13:30 kmlussier csharp: And your using GIN indexes?
13:30 kmlussier *you're*
13:36 csharp kmlussier: yes'm
13:37 * kmlussier is going to add the postgres details to the spreadsheet since it's a bit more useful than eg release.
13:37 kmlussier csharp: Thanks!
13:37 csharp sure thing ;-)
13:37 jeffdavis buh, scrollback
13:40 jeffdavis kmlussier: as jihpringle said earlier, Sitka is on PG 9.4 and using GIN indexes; we are also having some general slowness issues not directly related to EG which may be resolved soon
13:40 kmlussier jeffdavis: OK, thanks! Sorry to hear about the slowness issues. :(
13:42 jeffdavis we've also run into a few places where PG is not behaving as well as expected after upgrading 9.1->9.4, but I'm not sure of the causes there or indeed if it's a general issue with our db setup vs. a few smaller isolated problems
13:44 jeffdavis Bmagic et al: regarding the Overdrive integration stuff
13:45 jeffdavis I agree, CoffeeScript is a terrible choice. Incorporating the compiled JS (which lacks comments but is readable if you don't minify it) is definitely a possibility.
13:45 Bmagic jeffdavis: I was just compiling it into js to see
13:45 gmcharlt jeffdavis: cool, thanks for confirming that the compiled JS is readable
13:45 jeffdavis That said, IMO Coffeescript is less of an issue, dependency-wise, than the use of jquery and require.js.
13:46 jeffdavis I have been looking at the OneClickdigital API, which is pretty similar to Overdrive's, and thinking about writing a proper Evergreen service to talk to it with a minimal JS layer to handle the UI bits in the OPAC.
13:47 jeffdavis The idea being, if that worked, I could then expand that so that it also works with the Overdrive API (learning from the existing Overdrive integration code) and ultimately discard the existing Overdrive stuff.
13:48 jeffdavis Which is not really an ideal approach to a dev project of course...
13:49 Dyrcona jeffdavis: Have you considered a front end with a single API, then adaptors are written for the backends: Overdrive, OneClick, etc.?
13:49 jeffdavis Yes that's basically what I had in mind.
13:49 Dyrcona OK. I wasn't sure from your last two statements, but I thought that is what you meant.
13:50 jeffdavis Similar to how added content handles different providers.
13:50 Dyrcona +1
13:53 Bmagic kmlussier++  #nice spreadsheet

14:31 dbs jeffdavis: yeah! Or how resolver resolver handles different OpenURL resolvers. 'twould be very Evergreen/OpenSRFy :)
14:34 kmlussier jeffdavis++
14:35 jeffdavis dbs: yup, your resolver code is the other place I'm planning to poach stuff from :)
14:53 jihpringle joined #evergreen
15:12 Bmagic Those of you who have a working knowledge of the bugs. I can't seem to find one related to this: "Cataloging a new item does not complain about barcode conflicts with precats until you click 'modify copy' "
15:13 Dyrcona I'm not aware of that one, either.
15:15 Dyrcona Grabbing 0945... oh wait. ;)
15:15 kmlussier Bmagic: Are you saying this happens when adding a precat or are you saying when adding a regular copy, you don't get the barcode conflict for precats?
15:15 berick Dyrcona++
15:16 Bmagic kmlussier: it's happening when cataloging a regular item
15:17 tsbere If that is an issue I imagine it is closer to "when cataloging a new item barcode conficts are not reported until you click 'modify copy'" - The kind of record the barcode is already on may not matter
15:17 kmlussier I could be operating on old experience, but I didn't think it complained about barcode conflicts at all until you clicked modify. It didn't matter if the conflict was with a precat or not.
15:18 kmlussier yeah, what tsbere said
15:18 Dyrcona berick++
15:19 Bmagic kmlussier: I see, I was about to test that. So, it's really a wishlist item, to have the barcode conflict tested before the modify copy window?
15:19 pinesol_green [evergreen|Bill Erickson] LP#838525 DoB as date SQL upgrade repairs - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=01b0255>
15:20 kmlussier Bmagic: I recall there be discussion about an enhancment for that a long time ago, but I can't remember if it was an LP bug or just a comment on the mailing list.
15:21 kmlussier hmmm...I wonder if I tested that in webby. I think the same thing happens there too.
15:21 kmlussier But I think it's more of an annoyance when you're using the separate copy and volume editors in the xul client.
15:43 jboyer-isl Bmagic, kmlussier: to change "when" that error happens would require querying the server each time the barcode changes, similar to the way some online services do new usernames when signing up. (a green check for "this username is available" vs a red x for "someone else is using this name already")
15:44 jboyer-isl Is the real issue that the changes made to the item are lost once that message is displayed, or just that it should warn the user sooner?
15:44 Christineb joined #evergreen
15:47 kmlussier jboyer-isl: When I first came across the problem, it was when I was using the separate copy / volume editor. In that scenario, you actually click a "Continue" button to get to the volume editor, and didn't get an alert. But I never use the separate editors anymore. Not sure if it's still the case.
15:47 * kmlussier needs to disappear.
16:10 jboyer-isl joined #evergreen
16:14 Bmagic jboyer-isl: the complaint is that it wastes time. The error doesn't show itself until after the staff has taken the time to fill out the details of, price, copy location, circ mod, etc
16:16 jboyer-isl That's true, but I don't know enough about that workflow to know how much time. Do they have to re-enter everything, or just change the barcode and click Modify again?
16:27 berick almost just told someone, "in the Bills interface, lick the History button"
16:31 jboyer-isl berick: I thought I was the big Mac fan around here, heh.
16:32 jboyer-isl (Uh, context for logs: I believe Jobs referred to the buttons in the first OS X release as lickable. They have since recovered.)
16:55 berick jboyer-isl: har!
17:05 jwoodard joined #evergreen
17:15 Bmagic jboyer-isl: in one example, the conflicting barcode was checked out as a precat, and therefore, the precat needs to be delt with first. Meaning the item has the barcode attached to it physically, and needs to remain
