Kahurangi and the singing lion

Kohabot mostly working with Koha 3.0

I spent some time the other night working on the Koha bot to get it to work with the new search API in Koha 3.0. So now you can fire the bot up, and it will hop on AIM and then people can query your catalogue through it.

Next is getting the login function going again so you can use the bot to check what items you have overdue etc.

Kahurangi hates Survivor

An advert for Survivor came onto the tv, and Kahurangi flipped out and crawled over and started hit the tv. Normally he ignores the television unless a song he likes come on. This is the first time I’ve seen him flip out like that.

Kahurangi loves Day care

Koha 3 alpha is out

After a ton of hard work by a lot of people, the alpha version of Koha 3.00 was released. Here is the email from the Release Manager.

Hi folks,

I’m happy to announce that a packaged alpha release of Koha 3 is now
available. You can download from the usual location:

http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.00-alpha.tar.gz
http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.00-alpha.tar.gz.sig

You can check the integrity of the package; either by verifying the provided
GPG signature (.sig) or by comparing the MD5 checksum:

4fbd715cc6cd197264bba12b53391e42 koha-3.00.00-alpha.tar.gz

I’ve also tagged this in Git as “version 3.00.00 alpha” v3.00.00-alpha

This is the first packaged release of Koha 3. Prior to the official stable
release of Koha 3.0, software issues, bugs, and unimplemented features must
be addressed. These are documented on Koha’s Bugzilla:

http://bugs.koha.org

and organized on the 3.0 RM’s QA notes Wiki page:

http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:qanotes3.0

The release notes for this alpha version are pasted in below, and will also
on the koha.org website sometime over the weekend.

Cheers,

Christmas Day

We had a quiet Christmas this year out at Donna’s which was very nice. I’ve uploaded a bunch of photos to the gallery.

Something good to go to in the New Year.

Don McGlashan and his band the seven sisters along with the awesome Little Bushman will be playing a free concert in Civic square in Wellington.

Back home

Well after a bunch of drama with flights, which meant sitting in airports for more than 15 hours (for a 3 hour flight), I made it back home. The installation and training went well, and the weather was fantastic. Met tons of lovely people too, so apart from airline drama’s it was a most successful trip.

I’ve been uploading photos to the gallery, Kahurangi’s birthday party and other miscellaneous photos of him. No photos from Fiji unfortunately as I forgot my camera.
