I got POGS!!!!!

It was good to see some of you when i popped in last week to help mom reorganise her office (i’ve told her that paperclips are supposed to be in piles on the floor soooo many times… but she never listens!)

after many days of screaming, crying and whining, she finally caught on that i feel like i’ve been on the swing too long and that weird stuff comes out my mouth.

so she and dad took me to ED on monday night at 2 – they had a cool little house and people with their eyes closed (which i had to pry open for them) and some things called ‘pamphlets’ that were fun to throw around – it was so much fun that the doctor told me when i smiled at her that i was ok and if i was still sick that i could go to ANOTHER doctor in a few days!

well that was enough for me to make sure the rest of the night that i got to go to this other doctor place and play in the morning. so i screamed, rolled around and threw things, spit medicine and everything.

mom locked her keys in the car, so dad had to come all the way back from town in a car with lights on the roof while mom carried me and my big bag of stuff down to the doctor. he gave me a wooden stick and said “these are the days that make you wonder what the hell you were thinking having a kid.” mom said “yeah, chris said ‘i can’t do this again – no more kids!'” he said i’ve got chicken pogs. mom said the other doctor was dumb.

so i’ve been contagious for 4 days and will be for another week. that means i get to stay home with mom!!!! i love daycare, but jesse poos his pants and harmony screams a lot, so it will be nice to stay home and pull the cat’s tail and watch the doodlebops instead. i’ve already told mom that i can’t leave her lap by screaming when she goes to the bathroom.

oh yeah, and if you guys who i played with last week haven’t had chicken pogs, you might want to keep a look out cause it has a long incubation period. have a look on google for signs and symptoms. it makes you feel real bad! but if you want them, i’ve got some to share and i’ll lick you!

love,
Kahurangi

Koha in Samoa

This is slightly old news, but cool nonetheless.

“This is a very important day in the life of the Nelson Memorial Public Library with the launching of this management system called ‘Koha’,” Ms Godinet said in her speech yesterday.

“Our library opens from Monday-Friday from 8.30am to 5pm and Saturday from 8.30am to 12pm.

“Koha means our library never closes our catalogue as it is now available 24/7 for all Samoans and anyone interested in Samoa.”

Koha on hostgator.com

I spent a bit of time working on getting this going tonight, nearly there, I just have to do a couple more bits of configuration and I should have it all up and running.

The main stumbling block is not having git on the hostgator server, so Ill just have to make releases on my home machine and copy them over and upgrade. Not too bad. In fact I’ve set up a cron job to do just that. So ill have nightly releases here.

UPDATE

Getting yaz to compile on hostgator so I can install the Zoom module is proving to be a stumbling block.

UPDATE 2

Ok, hostgator won’t install Yaz, and without a c compiler its a bit tricky to do a local install, i’ll have to try a different tack.

Playing with Ohcount

I checked out the ohcount source code from the git repository today and ran it over the Koha git repository, quite interesting.

Using up my leave

Im officially on leave until the 3rd of March, when I start my new job at Catalyst IT. So far I’ve gotten in watching a cricket match, but I keep ending up doing work. I’ve been trying to tie up any loose ends and any work that was partially finished. Should have that all sorted by Monday I hope.

Hope to have a few beers with the guys on Friday evening, and then Manaia’s birthday party is on Saturday after which Kahurangi and I get to chill out at home while Laurel is off crafting. Should be a good weekend.
