16:41:22 [soccos]
anyone following the alias thread?
16:43:40 [dvtoo]
I started it =)
16:48:09 [soccos]
in the schema I wrote you could attach an alias to an object (e.g. Release, Recording...)
16:48:36 [soccos]
and there was a single 'real name' for the person
16:48:36 [dvtoo]
oh?
16:48:49 [soccos]
but I'm out of touch with the mb schema atm
16:49:16 [soccos]
still seems like a working model to me though
16:49:28 [soccos]
there are people, aliases and roles
16:49:44 [soccos]
and a role can be played by an alias
16:49:55 [dvtoo]
it's an iffy problem, not sure if it really crops up enoguh to convince anyone to do the work to make it fit
16:50:09 [dvtoo]
was thinking I might poke djce about it later
16:50:11 [soccos]
to make the implementation simpler you could always have an alias which is the real name
16:50:34 [soccos]
then you only need to join on the alias table
16:51:57 [soccos]
this would then work for *any* role
16:52:14 [soccos]
e.g. produced by, engineered by etc.
16:52:42 [dvtoo]
sounds like a pretty major change in the existing schema though, no?
16:52:49 [dvtoo]
I haven't looked at the MB schema
16:53:30 [soccos]
not really, although *any* schema change is difficult atm
16:58:36 [dvtoo]
can talk to djce about it when he shows up, I'm sure he'd know =)
17:00:53 [soccos]
* soccos drops thoughts into the wiki
17:01:14 [dvtoo]
hrm, I should find that and read through it
17:01:37 [dvtoo]
oh, that was hard to find =)
17:02:11 [soccos]
I'll post the url into the thread when I'm done
17:02:48 [dvtoo]
great

of course, that requires I reboot to windoze. :-(
18:26:48 [djce]
too bad.
18:27:02 [djce]
you need someone to buy you a VMWare license.
18:27:52 [ruaok]
And a faster machine that can handle that.
18:28:48 [ruaok]
The proper solution is to write xplatform software that doesn't need much work on a windows box.

is anyone here?
21:46:36 [alus]
indeed
21:47:23 [ruaok]
present!
21:47:24 [elinenbe]
would you perhaps know where I can get a windows build of 1.1.0?
21:47:38 [ruaok]
libmusicbrainz 1.1.0??
21:49:18 [ruaok]
ftp://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/musicbrainz_api-1.1.0.zip
21:49:48 [elinenbe]
no, ftp://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/musicbrainz-1.1.0.zip
21:50:26 [ruaok]
no what??
21:50:38 [ruaok]
The first one is the API/dll build
21:50:42 [ruaok]
the latter is the source code.
21:50:58 [ruaok]
There are no other 1.1.0 things for 1.1.0
21:51:35 [elinenbe]
well, I would like the latest build of the client.
21:52:21 [ruaok]
build? Source or .dll/.lib ?
21:53:07 [ruaok]
Either way, they are all here:
21:53:08 [ruaok]
http://musicbrainz.org/products/client/download.html
21:53:49 [elinenbe]
is there anything better with the 1.1.0 api?
21:54:30 [ruaok]
yes, 2.0.2 is better than 1.1.0
21:56:19 [elinenbe]
How can I run the latest windows client? Just install the version .9 and then do what?
21:56:20 [alus]
so 1.1.0 has negative betterness
21:59:19 [ruaok]
I think you want the MusicBrainz Tagger.
21:59:29 [ruaok]
The 'client' is a programmers library.
21:59:47 [ruaok]
The latest tagger is 0.9.0 -- just download it, install it and follow the instructions.
21:59:53 [ruaok]
Make sure you read the tutorial.
22:01:24 [djce]
11pm, and the temperature is now sensible. ish.
22:01:46 [djce]
* djce roasts quietly
22:02:45 [ruaok]
27C?
22:02:49 [ruaok]
22C?
22:03:14 [ruaok]
* ruaok slaps himself for forgetting a number of needed functions from the libtp interface...
22:04:57 [ruaok]
Did you know that slow roast geeks taste better than flash friend geeks?
22:05:50 [djce]
about 22 I think.
22:06:00 [djce]
but rather warmer here in the 'puter room.
22:06:27 [djce]
* djce tinkers more with Sql.pm
22:07:19 [ruaok]
as icepick said: laptop + wifi + cool drink + porch = heaven
22:08:32 [djce]
I can do a cool drink. I lack the rest.
22:10:05 [ruaok]
Not even a porch, eh? Do you live in a flat?
22:10:25 [djce]
just a bog-standard semi-detached house, on a slight hill.
22:12:19 [ruaok]
* ruaok has a hard time picturing it
22:12:40 [Necronom]
Oi. A porch would be nice.

Hmmm, here's a weird one for someone to solve...
22:58:57 [djce]
When I tail my access.log on my dev box here,
22:59:04 [djce]
then request any showartist.html page,
22:59:12 [djce]
the browser requests it twice.
22:59:18 [djce]
Not so for other pages.
22:59:31 [djce]
Answers on a postcode (or e-mail, or IRC) please. :-)
22:59:39 [RJ]
RJ (~RJj@user-1587.bbd08tcl.dsl.pol.co.uk) has joined #musicbrainz
23:01:55 [djce]
That's in Mozilla, btw. Doesn't do it in Konqueror nor lynx.
23:02:06 [djce]
weird....
23:02:06 [ruaok]
trippy.
23:02:32 [djce]
on the second request, the "Referer" is the same url as the page itself.
23:02:54 [ruaok]
maybe its time to stop using mozilla. :-)
23:03:05 [ruaok]
galeon is my fav. But that is mostly mozilla anyway
23:03:11 [djce]
something weird going on, that's for sure.
23:03:24 [alus]
anyone here dealt with ogg tags on a byte level?
23:03:40 [djce]
* djce is away: brb
23:03:55 [ruaok]
define byte level?
23:04:08 [ruaok]
As in reading a file using file io and not the ogg libs?
23:04:16 [alus]
right
23:04:23 [ruaok]
Don't do it.
23:04:26 [alus]
writing, specifically
23:04:38 [ruaok]
why not use the libs?
23:04:45 [alus]
I got the reading part down - my question is on generating checksums
23:05:01 [ruaok]
sorry, I can't help you there...
23:05:20 [alus]
because the perl module for interfacing with the libs doesn't run on activestate
23:05:34 [alus]
so I was trying to flesh-out the pure perl version
23:06:02 [dvtoo]
I'd fix them so they worked in activestate, before I did that
23:06:17 [alus]
but see I have much less of an idea how to do that
23:06:30 [alus]
inline c and all that
23:07:35 [djce]
* djce is back (gone 00:03:55)
23:07:51 [djce]
Working with Perl on Win32 is such a PITA. I feel sorry for you.
23:08:10 [djce]
All that good code out there on CPAN,
23:08:21 [djce]
and anything that requires a C compiler is out of bounds. :-(
23:08:28 [alus]
* alus nods
23:08:43 [djce]
been there, done that. Not going back!
23:09:49 [ruaok]

ok, the weirdness gets worse. check out this rather minimal test case.
23:31:56 [djce]
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/brainz.css">
23:31:56 [djce]
<form action="foo.html" method="get">
23:31:56 [djce]
<input type="image" src="/images/paypal.gif" >
23:31:56 [djce]
</form>
23:32:17 [djce]
save that whole document as anything.html in htdocs. Request it in Mozilla. It requests it twice.
23:32:18 [djce]
spooky.
23:32:37 [djce]
getting rid of the link, the form, or the input makes the duplicate go away.
23:33:49 [ruaok]
spooky.
23:33:55 [ruaok]
Maybe time to report a moz bug?
23:34:20 [djce]
maybe. tomorrow.
23:34:39 [djce]
oh well, something to look forward to...

23:43:21 [dvtoo]
yay!
