09:47 jeff Setting up Hatch on a new workstation with a slightly different-than-usual receipt printer, and I'm getting extra blank space at the end of the receipt. I've tried most of the usual things, but without success. Anyone here have tricks/suggestions from experience?
09:48 jeff at this point I suspect it may be my template -- I think I'll pull on that string next. Didn't compare with some other / stock templates.
09:48 Stompro joined #evergreen
09:49 Dyrcona You've probably already checked the page size in the printer settings, yes? I assume that's part of the usual things.
09:52 jeff Yep. Appears to be correct, matches what we're using with success in the XUL client. Behavior changes when I intentionally set it to something incorrect. I'm going to go isolate / rule out it being the single template (this printer only prints hold slips).
09:52 jeff thanks!

10:03 Stompro oclc--
10:07 Dyrcona Stompro: Your folks having issue with Connexion today as well?
10:09 Stompro Probably, but I'm dealing with our process to update holdings just stopping for some reason on August 23rd, using the metadata api.
10:10 Stompro I cannot get their api explorer site to work either... so I don't know if it is us or them.
10:11 Dyrcona Ah. Sounds like a possibly different issue. We had a ticket opened this morning about Connexion not working. I didn't read the details because it is normally not my thing.
10:28 jeff (it was the template)
10:32 csharp_ <ron_howard_voice>it was the template</ron_howard_voice>
10:37 * Dyrcona scratches his head and does his best James Dean....
10:38 Dyrcona Hmm... No music so far today... What I should listen to....
10:39 Dyrcona Marion: The little Ronnie Howard looks just like Ritchie did at that age. Mr. C.: Marion, you're imaging things....
10:39 Dyrcona s/The/That/
10:40 Dyrcona s/imagin/imagining/ # I can type, I swear it....
10:40 Dyrcona Typos...in my typos.... :)
10:40 jeff I JUST came across reference to that quote.
10:41 Dyrcona If it ain't UNIX, I can't spell it.
10:41 jeff (The Music Man came up in conversation the other day because the Broadway show is ending)
10:41 Dyrcona I didn't get csharp_'s reference.
10:42 Dyrcona We recently watched The Music Man on TCM, but I always think of that quote whenever Ron Hoard comes up, and sometimes when his brother does, too.
10:43 * Dyrcona gives up.....
10:43 Dyrcona Apparently, I cannot type in English this morning.
10:43 jeff (it's a Music Man poster that's involved in the "looks just like ritchie did at that age" line, and the reference is mentioned in the IMDB page for The Music Man)
10:45 Dyrcona Yeah, I remember the scene from Happy Days. Weren't they actually going to see the movie, too?
10:45 jeff Dyrcona: csharp_'s reference is to Ron Howard being the "narrator" in Arrested Development. There are lots of third-person remarks made, I believe.
10:46 jeff to the point where "Narrator: some observation here" has become a bit of a meme, including some merges with other things, including "Narrator: It was DNS."
10:47 Dyrcona OK. I never watched Arrested Development.
10:48 Dyrcona I guess I got my quote wrong, but memory is like that. Howard says, "Oh, that's ridiculous."
10:49 Dyrcona Forty-two years is a long time to keep a quote about nothing significant in your head, eh?
10:50 jeff (especially popular when the narrator directly contradicts the previous statements)
10:50 jeff me: I'll remember that, I don't need to write it down!
10:50 jeff narrator: he would not, in fact, remember that.
10:51 Dyrcona :)
10:52 jeff most common example I've seen (and likely what csharp_ was referencing) is the DNS one. "it can't be dns. there's no way it's dns. narrator: it was dns."
10:53 Dyrcona My pop culture awareness, except for children's programming, ends somewhere around 2000. For children's programming, it ends somewhere around 2010. ;)
10:53 jeff pretty sure I've not actually seen more than a partial episode of Arrested Development, but I've picked up a few references here and there.
10:53 * Dyrcona visits the wrong meme sites, apparently. :)
10:57 * Dyrcona has to look into adding a path and a .pgpass file using ansible.
11:11 csharp_ @quote add < Dyrcona> If it ain't UNIX, I can't spell it.
11:11 pinesol csharp_: The operation succeeded.  Quote #229 added.
11:12 csharp_ Dyrcona: the first couple of seasons of Arrested Development are extremely clever and worth watching if you're ever in the mood for ascerbic ridiculousness
11:14 jeff 100% of your recommended daily dose of ascerbic acid?
11:14 Dyrcona csharp_: I've seen some stills and a few short clips. I would probably like it.
11:15 Dyrcona jeff++
11:16 csharp_ jeff++
11:21 csharp_ ah, I see, I conflated the spellings of acerbic and ascorbic
11:21 csharp_ I was actually a good speller in my youth
11:22 * csharp_ weeps a single tear thinking about placing third in the fourth grade spelling bee
11:23 Dyrcona Well, that's interesting: -bash vi: command not found # Tramp mode to the rescue!
11:24 Dyrcona csharp_++
11:32 jeff csharp_: oh, I didn't actually notice your typo... but now that you pointed it out, that's probably why my brain went where it did.

11:56 jeff Drat. It was not the template.
11:57 jeff test prints with this printer print okay. multiple templates have "extra space" at the bottom.

13:45 jeff Ah. It was both!
13:45 jeff (of course, ugh)
13:45 Dyrcona It's always both!
13:54 jeff the printer and/or driver have a difficult-to-bypass idea of a "page". there's no "80mm x Receipt" paper size, for example.
13:54 jeff some templates that were shorter than the "page" printed fine.
13:55 jeff others that were just a bit longer would cause it to think that it was dealing with "two pages" and one of the two would be almost completely blank.
13:55 jeff solution was to adjust our div to be just a smidge smaller, so that it was always constrained to a specific width (length, after rotation)
13:56 Dyrcona printing--
13:57 Dyrcona It's always felt like a kludge.

19:37 jeffdavis the unapi.bre db function has suddenly become very slow, but only for one specific bib record (AFAIK) - it takes ~30s for the bad record, but <1s for others that I've tried
19:38 jeffdavis can't find anything weird about the bad record, and the sudden slowness wasn't triggered by edits to it or holdings changes or anything AFAICT
21:03 jeff do you have data that suggests that this particular record was taking less time before now?
21:09 jeff and it sounds like you've narrowed it down to the db function call itself? are you calling it directly from psql as a test?
