| th1a | hi replaceafill. | 17:30 |
|---|---|---|
| replaceafill | hey th1a | 17:30 |
| th1a | How is it going? | 17:31 |
| th1a | How's the flood situation? | 17:31 |
| replaceafill | not as bad as last week | 17:31 |
| replaceafill | it's still raining though | 17:32 |
| replaceafill | how was your holiday? | 17:32 |
| th1a | OK. I'm afraid it is going to take a while to fully settle back in. | 17:34 |
| th1a | It was a quiet weekend, random inquiries-wise. | 17:35 |
| replaceafill | oh | 17:36 |
| replaceafill | i have a chat tomorrow with the Colombian person who asked last week about training | 17:36 |
| th1a | Ah, right. | 17:36 |
| replaceafill | 10 am my time iirc | 17:36 |
| th1a | Do they seem to have any Python experience? | 17:36 |
| replaceafill | he didn't answer that | 17:36 |
| replaceafill | he just asked for the chat | 17:37 |
| th1a | OK. Guess you'll find out. | 17:37 |
| replaceafill | yeah | 17:37 |
| th1a | It is not out of the question that you could teach them to do some simple stuff with reports, etc. | 17:38 |
| th1a | And we could write some docs at the same time. | 17:38 |
| replaceafill | ah, good idea | 17:39 |
| replaceafill | so, this week we're working on ARK again? | 17:40 |
| th1a | Well, there is no rush, we could finish those other reports first. | 17:41 |
| replaceafill | cool | 17:41 |
| th1a | We hopefully will be getting some more feedback from ARK soonish. | 17:41 |
| replaceafill | i noticed in the attendance report suggestions that they inserted some charts | 17:42 |
| th1a | Ah, I didn't get that far down. | 17:42 |
| replaceafill | i wonder if they want us to do charts now | 17:42 |
| replaceafill | it doesn't seem complicated, just simple column (or bar?) charts | 17:43 |
| th1a | Uh, I should look. | 17:43 |
| th1a | I mean, can we do those with xlwt? | 17:43 |
| th1a | I guess not... | 17:44 |
| th1a | According to stack overflow. | 17:44 |
| replaceafill | yeah | 17:44 |
| th1a | Which report should I look at? | 17:45 |
| th1a | Oh, I didn't notice the number of sheets on the attendance report. | 17:45 |
| th1a | I looked at these for about 5 seconds... | 17:45 |
| replaceafill | :) | 17:46 |
| replaceafill | By Term sheet in the Attendance Report suggestions | 17:46 |
| th1a | So there's really only one? | 17:46 |
| replaceafill | two graphs? | 17:47 |
| th1a | Yeah, ok. | 17:47 |
| replaceafill | one just average attendance | 17:47 |
| replaceafill | and the other one by gender too | 17:47 |
| th1a | I'll send an email. | 17:47 |
| replaceafill | we could format the output in a way that making the chart is simple | 17:47 |
| th1a | We should just do it on the web. | 17:48 |
| th1a | They're just not quite wrapping their head around a new system. | 17:49 |
| replaceafill | making these types of charts with d3 should be simple, right? | 17:49 |
| th1a | This is an unnecessary intermediate steps. | 17:49 |
| th1a | You don't need d3 for a bar chart! | 17:49 |
| th1a | You need d3 if you want to develop a sideline in data graphics. | 17:50 |
| replaceafill | what? you want to do divs? | 17:50 |
| th1a | Heck, we could use https://developers.google.com/chart/ | 17:50 |
| replaceafill | ah | 17:51 |
| th1a | Or whatever. | 17:51 |
| th1a | The thing about d3 is if we'd ended up having more opportunities to get better at it, SIELibre could be a SchoolTool and custom data graphics company. ;-) | 17:52 |
| th1a | We just didn't end up using it more. | 17:52 |
| replaceafill | true | 17:52 |
| replaceafill | are you looking at the report suggest? | 17:54 |
| replaceafill | i know we don't have to discuss these now | 17:54 |
| th1a | I didn't notice anything else weird... | 17:54 |
| replaceafill | i just was wondering about the collection rate for fees | 17:55 |
| th1a | But you pay more attention since you've got to do them. ;-) | 17:55 |
| replaceafill | i mean, should it be date based? | 17:55 |
| replaceafill | :D | 17:55 |
| th1a | Date based for? | 17:55 |
| replaceafill | fees | 17:55 |
| replaceafill | i mean | 17:56 |
| replaceafill | is it like a "global" collection rate? | 17:56 |
| replaceafill | "all the fees this student has had" | 17:56 |
| th1a | Probably for the year. | 17:57 |
| replaceafill | right | 17:57 |
| th1a | Otherwise someone who had paid 4 years but not the 5th would show 80% paid. | 17:57 |
| replaceafill | the demographics snapshot seems straightforward | 17:58 |
| replaceafill | ok | 17:59 |
| replaceafill | so i'll try to have a couple of demos of Rick's reports for tomorrow | 17:59 |
| replaceafill | i have the avery sheet working | 18:00 |
| th1a | Maybe I should buy some labels. | 18:00 |
| th1a | I think I'll save asking about the excel charts for the next cycle of emails to PEAS. | 18:01 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 18:01 |
| th1a | Since we have low communications bandwidth. | 18:01 |
| replaceafill | also i updated www.schooltool.org | 18:01 |
| replaceafill | and changed the linode configuration a bit | 18:01 |
| replaceafill | just for having better linode identifiers | 18:01 |
| replaceafill | www-schooltool-org | 18:01 |
| replaceafill | and dev-schooltool-org | 18:01 |
| replaceafill | it's easier to know where the linode alerts are coming from | 18:02 |
| replaceafill | i didn't want to mess with longview for www.schooltool.org | 18:02 |
| th1a | Did you get a note about europe-africa? | 18:03 |
| th1a | I guess it rebooted and they did some service on it. | 18:03 |
| replaceafill | about the network hardware failure | 18:03 |
| th1a | (i.e., probaby moved it) | 18:03 |
| replaceafill | yes | 18:03 |
| th1a | It is up now. | 18:03 |
| replaceafill | yeah, i checked the baia instance was running and it seems fine | 18:03 |
| replaceafill | th1a, where are we with the Surinam folks? | 18:04 |
| replaceafill | Germio and Nawien | 18:05 |
| replaceafill | about importing grades | 18:05 |
| th1a | We're waiting for more info from them. | 18:05 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 18:06 |
| replaceafill | i think that's it from me | 18:07 |
| th1a | OK. I have to email jelkner. I wish I'd already sent him an invoice! | 18:07 |
| replaceafill | :)) | 18:07 |
| th1a | it is a wee bit awkward. | 18:08 |
| replaceafill | indeed | 18:08 |
| th1a | I guess that's it. I have a few emails to write. | 18:09 |
| replaceafill | kk | 18:09 |
| th1a | If things calm down this week, I'll get back to the school page design. | 18:09 |
| replaceafill | ah cool | 18:10 |
| th1a | I guess that's it. | 18:11 |
| th1a | Thanks replaceafill. | 18:12 |
| replaceafill | thanks th1a | 18:12 |
| * replaceafill goes to get breakfast, bb in ~30 | 18:12 | |
| *** menesis has quit IRC | 18:18 | |
| *** menesis has joined #schooltool | 20:29 | |
| th1a | replaceafill: ayt? | 20:54 |
| * replaceafill is back | 21:52 | |
| replaceafill | th1a, i was getting lunch | 21:52 |
| th1a | Do report sheets not have total and average columns (I suspect not). | 21:53 |
| th1a | ? | 21:53 |
| replaceafill | th1a, no | 22:03 |
| replaceafill | iirc it's because the math weirdness | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | i mean, with letter score systems | 22:04 |
| th1a | Yes, I knew there was some reason. | 22:04 |
| th1a | Thanks. | 22:04 |
