10:52 tsbere "Please only enter up to 0 numbers separated by commas" <_<
10:53 hopkinsju ,,,
10:53 tsbere This wouldn't be so bad to run into....except I expect more from USPS's tracking page.
10:55 tsbere Oh hey my "I shouldn't expect it for two weeks" package went from "we have no clue" yesterday to "out for delivery" today...apparently the label was created in CA, but it was actually shipped from North Reading.
10:56 hopkinsju And you expected more? Next time, if you really want to have your expectations blown away, order something from India.
10:57 tsbere hopkinsju: I dunno. Of the last three things I ordered from India one showed up in 3 days and the other two took 3 months. All three estimated 3 weeks. >_>
10:57 * tsbere has previously pulled off "order from Amazon late Sunday night, it shows up before noon Monday" though
10:58 * hopkinsju gets amazon sunday delivery
10:59 tsbere Well, yea, but this was several years ago. And I don't expect 10-11PM Sunday Night orders within 14 hours usually. ;)
11:00 * hopkinsju lives in the future
11:00 * tsbere found it more amazing that it was a free shipping order and everything

12:31 jeffdavis I'm seeing what looks like a memory leak with the fine generator on a 2.10 test server. I don't see something similar on our 2.8 system, but the test server has a big backlog of fines to generate (and less memory than production) so I'm not sure if that would be a new issue or just something that doesn't arise in normal circumstances.
12:41 jlitrell So, we throwing Parsey McParseface into search yet?  :-D
12:44 rlefaive did somebody say search?
12:45 jlitrell That's the last keyword I'd put in my notify list.
12:48 * tsbere has occasionally set up things to have him jump in a few minutes after specific words were said in a given channel for the first time in X hours, usually 6 or 12
12:49 tsbere Though I usually ensured that I hadn't said anything in said channels for an hour or so either
12:49 Bmagic interesting
12:49 tsbere Can be fun to find out that you jumped in with "Did somebody say..." while on vacation with no internet access.
12:49 jlitrell NETSI!.script
12:49 tsbere And then apparently ignored everyone responding to you saying that, because you were on vacation with no internet access ;)
12:50 rlefaive your irc-fu is impressive. I actually want to hear about Parsey McParseface though.
12:50 jlitrell Oh.  http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2016/​05/announcing-syntaxnet-worlds-most.html
12:52 jlitrell Basically we can have a master-level Go player while you're waiting for reports to run is how I read it.
12:53 yboston joined #evergreen
12:54 rlefaive sounds like more natural language search - like “OK evergreen, find me an ebook on educating nurses from the last five years"
12:55 jlitrell Which would be pretty killer.  "What's that novel with the guy who can remember everything?"
12:56 * mmorgan can't remember ;-)
12:57 jlitrell Parsey McParseface can!
12:57 gsams joined #evergreen
13:00 kmlussier jlitrell: OK, go figure out how to do that. Can you get it into a git branch by next week? ;)
13:00 jlitrell Sure.  It's an API.
13:01 jlitrell You just get the search string, send it, uhh... ~handwaves~... and you get back a list of books!
13:01 kmlussier Magic!
13:01 * tsbere can get it into a git branch fairly quickly. A git branch that makes it work with Evergreen, on the other hand...
13:01 Bmagic Did someone say magic?
13:01 * csharp wants Bmagic to incorporate jlitrell's style into his act
13:01 jlitrell Get Houdini over there to do it.
13:02 kmlussier Yeah, well, that was the underlying assumption, that it would work with Evergreen. :)
13:02 jlitrell You just get the search string, send it to Blake, he writes it down on the Ace of Spades, tears it in half, denies that he's the spy, and then pulls a list of books out of your ear!
13:03 kmlussier Now, *that* is a next-generation OPAC!
13:03 jlitrell It may or may not be scalable.
13:03 Bmagic lol
13:03 csharp @nextgen
13:03 pinesol_green csharp: connect to host dev port 22: Connection refused
13:03 csharp jlitrell++
13:04 * kmlussier sees jlitrell, realizes it must be afternoon, and remembers that she has to eat lunch.
13:05 jlitrell Up at the crack of noon, as always.
13:09 Bmagic hahaha - you all are cracking me up. My coworkers are starting to wonder what is going on

14:51 csharp mmorgan++ # thanks for linking to the related bugs
14:55 mmorgan csharp: yw. If I can't fix 'em, at least I can link them together. :)
15:33 Stompro Has anyone setup an OCLC number normalizer(is that the right term) for indexing 035a's so someone can automatically search for both the plain OCLC number along with the prefix+padding+number format?
15:59 csharp berick: http://www.avclub.com/article/frinkiac-just-​embiggened-its-usefulness-animated-g-236698
16:00 csharp Friday the 13th awesomeness
16:01 berick csharp: a thing of beauty
16:01 * tsbere looks at bug 1581658 and wonders if they realize that the barcode regex can be configured
16:01 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1581658 in Evergreen "OPAC: Barcode that starts with a letter cannot login to My Account" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1581658
16:05 berick csharp: my contribution https://frinkiac.com/gif/S08E09/531713/535551/
16:07 csharp berick++
16:10 csharp berick: mine's somewhat less nightmarish, but still involving hell: https://frinkiac.com/gif/S05E05/281997/285951/
16:11 berick hah, nice
16:16 JBoyer when you're building an entire VM by hand to try to debug speed concerns: https://frinkiac.com/gif/S07E21/36224​4/366248/R2l2ZSBtZQogYSBjYWxtYXRpdmUh
16:24 * berick chuckles
16:30 kmlussier Huzzah! Just got a synonym dictionary working in Evergreen thanks to the fabulous documentation from mdriscoll at NOBLE!
16:30 kmlussier mdriscoll++
16:31 csharp JBoyer++
16:32 csharp kmlussier: I'm curious - what effect will that have?
16:32 mmorgan mdriscoll writes awesome documentation :)
16:32 mmorgan mdriscoll++
16:33 kmlussier mmorgan++ #For helping on this project too.
16:33 kmlussier csharp: To search word variations. Like retrieving records with colour when color is the entered search term.
16:34 maryj joined #evergreen
16:35 kmlussier I'm creating a wiki page for configuration changes to help brush up search. I added mdriscoll's synonym documentation there. http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku​.php?id=scratchpad:brush_up_search
16:36 kmlussier The idea for the wiki page came up during miker's conference presentation on search.
16:37 jeff i opened at least two wishlist bugs during that talk. i should look at implementing those.
16:38 kmlussier jeff: Yes, I remember. I started to look at one and then got distracted.
16:38 jeff heh
16:40 csharp kmlussier: cool - thanks for the pointer
16:41 mmorgan kmlussier++
16:45 jeff Hrm. Is there currently a way to enforce a "max items out" for users with Juvenile set?
16:45 jeff Maybe something creative with limit groups...

17:24 hopkinsju csharp: Just caught the Flight of the Conchords video. Love that one.
17:27 hopkinsju csharp: jlitrell shared this yesterday. I'll need you to learn this for next EGconf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VznAYy5yL2A
