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.

Busy Saturday

Yesterday was a pretty full on day, it started with the Island Bay market day, which was pretty small but neat anyway. Laurel found a fellow refugee from the US selling funnel cakes, and I found a fantastic jar of zucchini pickle.

Next on the agenda was the Greek Food Festival down in the overseas terminal. It was all a bit crowded and almost impossible to navigate with the push chair, but I did manage to buy some fantastic Calamari.

Then it was off to Te Papa for the 10th birthday celebrations. We missed the giant lamington cutting, but saw a awesome steam powered street organ, some Cook Island drummers, and the NZSO playing with Mere Boynton, Whirimako Black, Debra Wai Kapohe and Derek hill. Once again so many people but pretty cool.

Kahurangi’s favourite part of the day, was the big spinning marble ball in the foyer of Te Papa

He was smacking at it so fast my cheap cellphone camera couldn’t focus fast enough.

The day ended with the Island Bay Parade, which was even shorter than usual this year. My highlight was the mermaids riding bicycles

Last day at work

Tomorrow is my last day at work in my current job. I start a new job on March 3rd. I will still be hacking on Koha, but not as my day job anymore, just in my spare time. It’s all pretty hectic at the moment trying to finish everything off, so not many patches from me at the moment. Once things get settled down I’ll be getting back into it. 

A fun Waitangi Day

We had a good day today. We went down to Waitangi park to partake in the fun community activities. Kahurangi loved the tap dancing, and tried his best to dance along with them. I was utterly stoked as there was a stall selling creamed Paua, which is pretty much the best food in the world.  Later in the evening we had a lovely dinner with Matt and Meredith, while mr destructo tried to break their house and vomit chips on Matt’s foot.All in all a great day.
