Best badge ever!

Pretty crap photo but.

I got this at the markets by the Rialto.

This has shifted to Friday (nz time) so yesterday was project day again.
I spent the morning working on automated testing and the afternoon on a system to allow Koha users to easily update the help files. It’s not quite finished by next project day I should be able to finish it off.

I are a messy eater

Kahurangi ate a whole tin of chicken and noodles today. Well he ate most of it, a fair amount ended up on his bib.

I am so glad Hone Harawira is in Parliament

With the major parties happy to let the Australian Governments blatant human rights abuses pass with no comment. One of the few voices calling it like it is is Harawira.

“Hawawira [sic] said John Howard is “a racist bastard” trying to impose racist policies on a people who can’t fight back.”

You can see the full article on the tvnz site. Who may have fixed their spelling mistake by the time you look, but since its a Maori name they probably won’t have.

Apt tshirt

After looking after Kahurangi for a few hours and watching him fall asleep with a bottle in his hand, I stumbled across this great tshirt

Kahurangi feeding himself

Koha Project Day #2

Today was Project day again (its a weekly thing). This week I worked on a few more unit tests, finishing off the tests for C4::Date. Quite a bit of wiki cleaning and working with Joshua about how we might use git in the project. To wit I created this

And Joshua has been fleshing out a ton of text to go with it. Theres a bit more to go but it will be all ready for the developers meeting.

Kahurangi watches the rugby

The first half wasn’t going to well, Kahurangi watches on pensively as the Boks take the lead.

Heading into the last 20 minutes both Kahurangi and his daddy were biting their nails.

Joe Rokocoko gets the ball and heads in to score the try to put us in the lead, and Kahurangi squeals in excitement.

Yay we got the win

On a more positive note

I finally got my Koha IM bot mostly working, and did a post here
http://blogs.liblime.com/developers/2007/06/22/instant-message-your-ils/
. If you want to have a play let me know, and ill start the bot up for you. I’m in the process of documenting it so people can run their own ones. But if anyone wants the code (such as it currently is) I can give you access to the git repository its in.

A mixed weekend

I started feeling poorly on Friday afternoon and by Saturday was quite fluey, but some Echinacea and a lot of sleep seemed to get rid of that.
Then last night NZ lost the yachting, but won the rugby.

And today had a great brunch, then some read some bizarre blog posts indirectly about Koha. Which I’m not even going to get into, because it would just add fuel to what in my opinion is an utter non issue.

Weird weekend
