14:43 JBoyer Can anyone confirm that a fresh build of main is working today? On 2 different Bullseye systems I'm seeing issues logging in to the staff client.
14:44 JBoyer well, and the opac also.
14:53 JBoyer Hey\, or it could be that I was updating a pair of installations that haven't been updated since MFA went in and forgot to update their opensrf / core files. Never mind!
14:58 redavis JBoyer, please give the all clear for a sigh of relief.
14:58 redavis If you're prepared.
14:58 redavis I've been holding my breath.
14:59 eeevil redavis: you can feel free to sigh now :)
14:59 JBoyer cry hurrah and let loose the sighs of relief.
14:59 redavis best sigh of relief ever.  I'll save the hurrah for when my o2 levels rise a little more.
15:02 redavis I'm working with a resume writer. I forgot to include a "computer skills" section. Not that it's gonna be full to the brim of amazing computer skill thingies.  But also, who literally couldn't do their job without several genres of computer skills but doesn't include it on their resume.  This person.  This person does that.
15:03 sleary redavis when I was applying to the--I feel I have to emphasize this--ONLINE MLIS program, someone came to one of the admissions Q&As to ask whether they could complete the degree with minimal computer skills.
15:04 sleary that was the only time I ever saw the admissions director's poker face crack
15:04 redavis sleary, HAHAHAHAHAH!!!
15:04 redavis sweet, sweet summer...adult child
15:04 sleary older than you or I, yeah
15:05 redavis bless their sweet, sweet soul.
15:05 abneiman @quote add <JBoyer> cry hurrah and let loose the sighs of relief.
15:05 pinesol abneiman: Error: You must be registered to use this command. If you are already registered, you must either identify (using the identify command) or add a hostmask matching your current hostmask (using the "hostmask add" command).
15:05 redavis abneiman++
15:05 abneiman pinesol ffs
15:05 pinesol abneiman: Thank you abneiman! But our princess is in another castle!
15:05 * redavis laughs
15:05 JBoyer Now I'm annoyed I mis-remembered the quote
15:06 JBoyer (as one lets slip dogs and sighs)
15:07 abneiman well, I can't add it anyway because I don't know how to do the hostmask thing
15:07 sleary @quote add <JBoyer> cry hurrah and let loose the sighs of relief.
15:07 pinesol sleary: Error: You must be registered to use this command. If you are already registered, you must either identify (using the identify command) or add a hostmask matching your current hostmask (using the "hostmask add" command).
15:07 sleary really, pinesol?
15:07 JBoyer There's a way to "login" to the bot, but I have never bothred to figure it out either
15:07 redavis csharp_, teach us
15:08 abneiman yeah I mean, now that we know beta is OK, we can debug the persnickety bot :-D
15:09 abneiman #fridayproblems
15:09 redavis lol, now that beta is OK, I can focus on my resume? HAHAHAHAH (a little slaphappy at the moment...internally)

15:25 kmlussier redavis: I don't think I've ever had a computer skills section of my resume.
15:26 redavis We'll see how this person utilizes that. They're optimizing for the application readers.
15:27 kmlussier redavis: Yeah, I guess most jobs I have applied for are still using the old-school method of just reading every cover letter and resume that comes in.
15:28 redavis I'd prefer that, but also I'm better at working than getting hired to work. I think.  lol.  I have no idea.  That's why I need help.
15:29 kmlussier Also, since I wasn't in here when the beta announcement went out: redavis++ Dyrcona++ Stompro++ jvwoolf++ Bmagic++
15:29 redavis kmlussier++
15:29 kmlussier redavis: I'm not sure I deserve karma at the moment, but I'll take it! :)
15:29 redavis But wait...there will be more.  lol. Well, yeah.  FF starting Monday, and a whole slew of accessibility and other bug fixes for the RC as well.
15:30 redavis If you made it into IRC and didn't kick a small child, cat, or puppy, you deserve karma.
15:30 * kmlussier thinks redavis has set a very low bar.
15:31 redavis Maybe. Or...a realistic bar.
15:31 * sleary watched a disjointed but fun conference talk the other day on cheerful software UIs and preventing people from being so unhappy at work that they go home and kick the puppy
15:31 kmlussier I should NOT be getting karma because I came into IRC to distract me from my action plan.
15:31 redavis If you're in IRC and conversing, you're community building.  which is very important
15:31 redavis lol, your reasons are your own :D
15:37 * kmlussier wonders if she's ever used software with a cheerful UI.
15:37 kmlussier Evergreen makes me happy, but I don't think it's the UI.
15:37 redavis Hmm...a cheerful UI. That's an interesting question.
15:38 redavis kmlussier, have you seen the new buckets interfaces?
15:38 redavis and the angular reporter?
15:39 kmlussier redavis: Have I seen the new buckets interface? Do you know whom I work with?
15:39 redavis Oh yeah!! hahahah
15:39 redavis Elizabeth is very, very happy
15:42 sleary that makes me happy
15:43 sleary kmlussier the designer who gave the talk made https://nokotime.com -- but their home page doesn't really show off the happy part, which is the little pie charts you get. I found this old social media promo that has a much better graphic: https://nokotime.com/socialpod/
15:43 redavis If I could hug something, it'd be the connectors between reports and record buckets and the staff catalog and record buckets and the new share structure...or the whole thing.
15:43 redavis Oh, that's pretty cool
15:43 kmlussier sleary: Thanks! I'll take a look when I'm done with my action plan.
15:43 sleary I used to track my time with their app when I was freelancing, and it is genuinely joyful to use
15:43 kmlussier Which means I may never get to it.
15:43 sleary lol, so it goes
15:45 sleary I aim to get Evergreen to the point where it's cheerful. At the moment we're still partially in the shoring-up-foundations phase of remodeling.
15:48 redavis I think we're to the point of "oh...this is real good" and "oh...this is going to be even better." with definitely work still going on at all levels of infrastructure and finish. But, I'm so dang biased, my perspective is almost irrelevant.
15:49 kmlussier sleary: Despite what I said a few minutes ago, the Evergreen UI made me very cheerful when I was first returning after four years of using the UI of another system. I think there are lots of positives and, over the years, we've worked really hard to ensure people can do their work efficiently. But, like redavis, I'm a bit biased.
15:50 redavis I also think my kids are the cutest in the world, and my cat has the best personality a cat could have.  So...there's all of that (btw, the cat is sleeping near but not close).
