10:24 phasefx free python ebook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071Z2Q6TQ
10:25 bshum "free"
10:25 Dyrcona If you have Kindle Unlimited.
10:25 Dyrcona There are lots of free Python ebooks, though.
10:26 phasefx it's part of kindle unlimited, but should be free without it
10:26 phasefx I may have misunderstood the deal, though
10:27 phasefx difference between Read for Free and Buy Now
10:28 phasefx still need an Amazon, and that has an information cost at the very least, and might even require to have a method of payment associated with the account.  So you guys are right, "free" :)
10:28 Dyrcona I'm not fond of the Kindle platform.
10:28 phasefx Amazon account, even
10:28 phasefx I'll stick to sharing humblebundle links in the future
10:28 Dyrcona I've tried with a title or two. I think I prefer plain-old epub.
10:29 Dyrcona :)
10:30 bshum phasefx: Aha, that's the trick, gotcha
10:30 jeff fun. state upgraded INN-Reach, NCIP message format changed. NISO NCIP website seems to have locked the current "Implementor Profiles" behind a members-only login.
10:30 * phasefx tends to use non-DRM'ed mobi (converted from epub if needed) for his kindle, mostly from humble bundle
10:32 Dyrcona I use FBReader on Android and Linux mostly. I use the Android Kindle app and the web interface for the couple of Kindle titles that I "bought."
10:54 Dyrcona jeff: The "fun" of NCIP. :(

14:59 mmorgan1 Self check question: Is there any way to stop items from being checked out via selfcheck other than with the ou settings: circ.selfcheck.auto_override_checkout_events and circ.selfcheck.block_checkout_on_copy_status?
15:18 jeff mmorgan: you mean "we don't want items of type X to circulate via self checkout"?
15:19 mmorgan Well, specifically, these are empty cases, the discs being kept at the circ desk.
15:20 rlefaive joined #evergreen
15:21 mmorgan So we can put an "X" somewhere, if selfcheck can make use of it.
15:21 mmorgan We're already automatically overriding copy alerts.
15:22 mmorgan And the only status we're blocking is Library use only.
15:22 gmcharlt hmm, STAFF_C standing penality containing the number of discs as the payload?
15:25 mmorgan gmcharlt: Not following how that would apply to the items
15:25 * gmcharlt blinks
15:25 gmcharlt doh
15:25 * gmcharlt goes in search of NOBLE's coffee to drink
15:26 mmorgan :)
15:26 mmorgan Thought I was missing something awesome!
15:26 gmcharlt there's also the stuff in bug 1676608, but that doesn't help you right now
15:26 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1676608 in Evergreen "Copy Alert Persistence and Suppression Matrix" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1676608
15:30 Dyrcona Yeah, there isn't really a way to do that right now that I am aware of.
15:31 mmorgan Definitely good stuff in that bug :)
15:32 mmorgan The only thing I can come up with is creating a status for these, and blocking that status in the ou setting.
15:48 jonadab Status:  Dummy-on-shelf ?
15:49 jonadab I mean, that's a horribly ineligant kludge, but.
15:51 * mmorgan was thinking of something like "Available at Circulation Desk"
15:51 mmorgan But a status would mean that each time it circulates, it would need to have the status changed after checkin.
16:09 Stompro joined #evergreen
16:30 jonadab mmorgan: Good point.

17:52 dbs Stompro: oh what now?
18:15 wsmoak I think I have complained about this before, is it worth entering a ticket for getting a success message on "Add To My List" ?  I click it, and... nothing.  I have to open the list to see if it worked.
