- 01:31:54 [cikkolata]
- I love that foot picture.
- 01:42:27 [cikkolata]
- * cikkolata wonders
- 01:42:59 [cikkolata]
- is the past tense of treat spelt treat? am I making up words?
- 01:43:18 [cikkolata]
- like read (reed) and read (red)
- 01:57:25 [dupuy]
- treated
- 01:59:52 [cikkolata]
- hmm...
- 02:00:01 [cikkolata]
- I rarely say treated though
- 02:03:47 [cikkolata]
- I can't actually think of a sentence where treated sounds better to me
- 02:03:51 [cikkolata]
- there must be some.
- 02:04:46 [cikkolata]
- like crept and creeped
- 02:07:57 [DJKC]
- may be a british thing, in US English treated is the only form I can recall having heard used
- 02:08:02 [DJKC]
- and who's foot is that anyway
- 02:09:57 [cikkolata]
- it most likely is a british thing, like all our other -t verbs, dreamt, slept, burnt, spelt, spilt?
- 02:10:07 [cikkolata]
- but I'm trying to work out how to spell it
- 02:10:10 [cikkolata]
- treat seems wrong
- 02:10:38 [DJKC]
- the rest of those sound common
- 02:10:52 [DJKC]
- just treated I've never heard any other forms for
- 02:11:11 [cikkolata]
- I defintely see americans prefer -ed to -t
- 02:11:24 [cikkolata]
- except the ones who love british english
- 02:11:40 [dupuy]
- en_US uses slept, not sleeped
- 02:11:47 [cikkolata]
- oops
- 02:11:58 [cikkolata]
- I knew that, really :x
- 02:12:01 [dupuy]
- but -ed is more common for the rest
- 02:12:54 [cikkolata]
- smelt?
- 02:13:32 [cikkolata]
- * cikkolata giggles
- 02:13:47 [cikkolata]
- I can't say them with -ed without them sounding really odd
- 02:14:00 [cikkolata]
- they just ...trail off.
- 02:16:28 [DJKC]
- I'm used to seeing both all the time
- 02:16:31 [DJKC]
- so I can't really judge
- 02:16:34 [cikkolata]
- I am too
- 02:16:39 [DJKC]
- in spoken I mostly here the -ed versions
- 02:16:53 [DJKC]
- but most of what I read for books in English are by British authors
- 02:18:26 [cikkolata]
- I can't really explain what I mean :x
- 02:27:26 [cikkolata]
- bleh, anime soundtracks always seem to be so messy.
- 02:33:35 [DJKC]
- messy to tag right?
- 02:33:36 [DJKC]
- or?
- 02:33:50 [cikkolata]
- and messy in mb
- 02:33:50 [DJKC]
- I hate ones that have dialog snippets from the show. hate trying to tag them
- 02:33:55 [cikkolata]
- yeah
- 02:34:09 [DJKC]
- I also hate ones where I can't find any artist info whatsoever
- 02:34:26 [DJKC]
- I know I have one or two with tracks attributed to santora in katakana
- 02:35:10 [cikkolata]
- and then anything where yoko kanno is involved...
- 02:35:21 [DJKC]
- heh
- 02:35:29 [DJKC]
- some of her works are pretty straight forward
- 02:35:33 [DJKC]
- it's just she has a lot
- 02:35:40 [cikkolata]
- I remembered why mine are all currently tagged as the anime they're from.
- 02:35:42 [DJKC]
- it could be worse
- 02:35:47 [DJKC]
- it could be m-flo -_-;
- 02:35:59 [DJKC]
- m-flos naming/collaboration/album style hates mb style
- 02:35:59 [cikkolata]
- * cikkolata giggles
- 02:36:12 [cikkolata]
- I saw some time ago when you were talking about it something
- 02:36:23 [DJKC]
- well
- 02:36:37 [DJKC]
- there's issues like how to attribute an m-flo album that has no songs by m-flo on it
- 02:46:41 [somniloquy]

- 02:50:53 [DJKC]
- you'd think people would notice the difference between 69/96 and 96/69
- 02:51:25 [DJKC]
- or that one has 15 tracks while the other has 96...
- 02:52:08 [cikkolata]
- errr...
- 02:54:31 [DJKC]
- hmm
- 02:54:43 [DJKC]
- I wonder if that lightning bolt symbol is in unicode ^^
- 02:55:13 [DJKC]
- probably not if his discography page for it resorted to using a gif there

- * DJKC entices cikkolata into finding a lightning bolt symbol in unicode like the one in the title of both albums to mod the titles to include it
- 02:59:05 [cikkolata]
- heh, I'm ahead of you
- 02:59:09 [cikkolata]
- * cikkolata is already looking
- 02:59:40 [DJKC]
- heh
- 02:59:54 [DJKC]
- I don't remember there being one but it's been a while since I looked through all the symbols in unicode
- 03:00:18 [cikkolata]
- the only thing I can find is U+26A1

- 03:01:22 [DJKC]
- that's actually pretty close
- 03:01:32 [DJKC]
- the album one is thicker at top and thinner at the bottom
- 03:01:38 [DJKC]
- but still, close
- 03:09:15 [DJKC]
- hmmm
- 03:09:30 [DJKC]

- mostly in europe
- 03:27:24 [crazedmofo]
- i can tell
- 03:27:32 [cikkolata]
- oh, that too.
- 03:27:33 [DJKC]

- as am I
- 03:27:59 [crazedmofo]
- it's evening
- 03:28:08 [DJKC]
- mostly that was teasing of cikkolata for her sleeping habits...
- 03:28:23 [crazedmofo]
- crazy woman
- 03:28:27 [crazedmofo]
- j/k
- 03:30:12 [crazedmofo]
- well i'm bored
- 03:30:18 [crazedmofo]
- and getting boreder
- 03:30:27 [crazedmofo]
- see thats not a word
- 03:30:41 [DJKC]
- no, it's not
- 03:30:48 [DJKC]
- you need to go listen to music
- 03:30:49 [crazedmofo]
- it should be
- 03:30:56 [cikkolata]
- like scary jpop.
- 03:31:03 [crazedmofo]
- what?
- 03:31:13 [DJKC]
- mmm
- 03:31:21 [crazedmofo]
- that word doesn't make sense
- 03:31:33 [DJKC]
- at the moment I'm mostly listening to Japanese eurobeat covers of English pop songs
- 03:31:36 [cikkolata]
- I made my friend listen to W - aa ii na, he... gave me weird looks.
- 03:31:41 [DJKC]
- crazedmofo: which? like, scary, or jpop?
- 03:31:53 [DJKC]
- cikkolata: no robokiss? no koi no vacances?
- 03:31:55 [crazedmofo]
- jpop
- 03:31:59 [DJKC]
- should have made him watch the videos
- 03:32:02 [DJKC]
- crazedmofo: Japanese pop
- 03:32:07 [crazedmofo]
- ok
- 03:32:10 [DJKC]
- commonly called Jpop in English
- 03:32:13 [cikkolata]
- well, I think I've used up his jpop quota of the year :(
- 03:32:14 [DJKC]
- and actually in Japanese too
- 03:32:27 [crazedmofo]
- i'm listening to christian metal
- 03:32:34 [crazedmofo]
- if you can belive it
- 03:32:35 [DJKC]
- cikkolata: nah, you just need to play him something closer to his normal tastes
- 03:32:49 [DJKC]
- I can. I'm aware that there's Christian everything
- 03:32:51 [cikkolata]
- the babelfish translation, by the way, is hilarious.
- 03:33:01 [DJKC]
- even, amusingly, Christian Death Metal if I remember right
- 03:33:09 [crazedmofo]
- yes
- 03:33:11 [DJKC]
- cikkolata: of aa ii na?
- 03:33:14 [cikkolata]
- yes
- 03:33:16 [crazedmofo]
- have you ever heard of ZAO
- 03:33:17 [DJKC]
- the lyrics are nonsense mostly anyway
- 03:33:29 [cikkolata]
- the lyrics make more sense when I can't understand most of it
- 03:33:29 [DJKC]
- crazedmofo: I know very few US bands
- 03:33:34 [DJKC]
- or English bands in general
- 03:33:42 [DJKC]
- so no, I don't know them
- 03:33:49 [crazedmofo]
- well it's a very underground basnd
- 03:33:49 [DJKC]
- I'm aware the genre of music exists and that's about it
- 03:33:53 [crazedmofo]
- band*
- 03:34:07 [crazedmofo]
- so i'm sure you wouldn't know about them anyway
- 03:34:21 [DJKC]
- crazedmofo: especially if they're any form of metal
- 03:34:28 [DJKC]
- the only US band I pay attention to is Freezepop
- 03:34:29 [cikkolata]
- "the suitable happiness which ate the huge parfait we would like to date with that you feel person we would like to do well - as for self-depreciation of the date catfish of the AH yearning the gourmet"
- 03:34:34 [crazedmofo]
- you don't like metal?
- 03:34:44 [DJKC]
- crazedmofo: I don't mind it
- 03:34:50 [DJKC]
- but it's not what I listen to most of the time
- 03:34:58 [DJKC]
- cikkolata: that's closish
- 03:34:59 [crazedmofo]
- well what about classical
- 03:35:13 [cikkolata]
- I'm not sure what sort of stuff he normally likes.
- 03:35:14 [crazedmofo]
- thats my favorite
- 03:35:20 [DJKC]
- crazedmofo: a bit. I'm more likely to listen to 150bpm covers of classical stuff
- 03:35:30 [cikkolata]
- * cikkolata laughs
- 03:35:34 [crazedmofo]
- i love classical
- 03:35:40 [cikkolata]
- I could name bands, but you wouldn't know them I bet.
- 03:35:52 [crazedmofo]
- in fact i think i will listen to it right know
- 03:36:31 [crazedmofo]
- very soothing
- 03:36:34 [DJKC]
- cikkolata: my main backgrounds in music are in hardcore punk, industrial, bossa nova, eurobeat, happy hardcore, Japanese everything, and brain rotting girl pop
- 03:36:36 [crazedmofo]
- =)
- 03:36:53 [crazedmofo]
- i love all music
- 03:36:57 [cikkolata]
- hmmm.
- 03:36:59 [crazedmofo]
- but not rap
- 03:37:06 [crazedmofo]
- of course
- 03:37:25 [DJKC]
- I don't mind rap
- 03:37:34 [DJKC]
- I don't listen to much US stuff, fair amount of JP rap though
- 03:37:38 [crazedmofo]
- i don't concider it musoic
- 03:37:43 [crazedmofo]
- music*
- 03:37:46 [DJKC]
- lot less of the "guns, money, and bitches" stuff in the lyrics
- 03:37:50 [DJKC]
- * DJKC is playing [Hardcore Synth Orchestra] - [classical Speed] - [Hungarian Dance No. 5]
- 03:37:50 [cikkolata]
- do you know vnv nation, apoptygma berzerk, covenant, haujobb, funker vogt and stuff like that?
- 03:38:03 [crazedmofo]
- nope
- 03:38:04 [DJKC]
- vnv nation and haujobb
- 03:38:12 [cikkolata]
- good enough.
- 03:38:17 [cikkolata]
- that sort of stuff, I guess.
- 03:38:30 [DJKC]
- for you, you mean?
- 03:38:35 [cikkolata]
- my friend, mostly.
- 03:38:40 [DJKC]
- oh
- 03:38:48 [DJKC]
- hmm...
- 03:38:49 [cikkolata]
- although I tend to like them too
- 03:39:04 [DJKC]
- merzbow comes to mind for some reason
- 03:39:08 [DJKC]
- and loudness
- 03:39:12 [DJKC]
- mad capsule markets maybe
- 03:39:13 [crazedmofo]
- hahaha
- 03:39:33 [DJKC]
- * DJKC is playing [Blue Venice] - [classical Speed] - [Sabre Dance]
- 03:39:50 [crazedmofo]
- man this violin solo i'm listing to is insane
- 03:40:29 [crazedmofo]

- HI All, any Musibrainz h4ck3rz awake?
- 07:33:05 [cikkolata]
- I'm awake, I don't know if I count as a... h4ck3r
- 07:33:55 [PhUrl]
- well, i wanted to just go over some stuff i am workingg on ...
- 07:34:04 [PhUrl]
- maybe you are a programmer?
- 07:34:29 [cikkolata]
- hmm, kinda. I've yet to do much more than mb_server though.
- 07:34:58 [PhUrl]
- i am working on a new tagger now
- 07:35:06 [PhUrl]
- it has been running all night
- 07:35:10 [cikkolata]
- oh?
- 07:35:17 [PhUrl]
- i have 20k mp3s
- 07:35:31 [PhUrl]
- all it does is extract the informatino from mp3info
- 07:35:38 [PhUrl]
- into a tab separated file
- 07:35:48 [PhUrl]
- next i will create TRMS from that file
- 07:35:51 [PhUrl]
- sort them
- 07:36:17 [PhUrl]
- and merge them against the sorted trms extracted from the db, that i packed into a 50mb vector
- 07:36:52 [PhUrl]
- that should allow me to remove duplicates and identify what files are in the database in one shot
- 07:37:11 [PhUrl]
- and be much more efficent than the old tagger.
- 07:40:00 [PhUrl]
- what do you think?
- 07:40:35 [cikkolata]
- I'm not sure, I haven't really looked at TRMs.
- 07:42:18 [cikkolata]
- * cikkolata dies of shock
- 07:42:35 [cikkolata]
- I don't know what I did, but opera finally stopped using a shitty font for kanji
- 07:43:12 [cikkolata]
- I spent months trying to make it stop using shitty fonts and now it's randomly decided it likes me...
- 07:43:15 [cikkolata]
- what the hell.
- 07:43:26 [PhUrl]
- hehe
- 07:44:12 [PhUrl]
- trms are just a uuid generated out of a couple of attributes, like duration, sample rate, channels and bits
- 07:44:54 [PhUrl]
- so, in 14 hours, i was able to process 11464 files, that is about 1000 an hour
- 07:45:01 [PhUrl]
- there must be a more efficent method
- 07:45:25 [PhUrl]
- i extended the mp3info program to take a list of files as a parameter
- 07:45:35 [PhUrl]
- and emit the information as a tab separated file
- 07:45:51 [PhUrl]
- still too slow, but we will see
- 07:47:04 [PhUrl]
- have you tried firefox?
- 07:47:20 [PhUrl]
- i have been playing around with unicode and asian fonts
- 07:47:26 [cikkolata]
- bleh
- 07:47:41 [PhUrl]
- i think the chinese symbols are quite pretty and interesting
- 07:47:49 [cikkolata]
- firefox is too slow for me.
- 07:48:46 [cikkolata]
- and it doesn't use my GTK theme properly, and it will not stop stealing focus >_<
- 07:48:47 [PhUrl]
- japanese also has a pictogram symbols as well?
- 07:49:37 [cikkolata]
- japanese uses a combination of chinese characters and two syllbaries
- 07:50:30 [cikkolata]
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_writing_system (I love wikipedia!)
- 07:50:48 [Kanmu]
- Kanmu has quit
- 07:52:08 [PhUrl]
- really? is uses chinese chars? that is new to me
- 07:52:21 [PhUrl]
- * PhUrl reads the 'pedia
- 07:53:40 [cikkolata]
- yeah, but they have a zillion more ways to pronounce things (this is where DJKC pops up and says "no, usually only $x to $y")
- 07:56:51 [PhUrl]
- i see
- 07:57:04 [PhUrl]
- ok, well i am not good at pronouciation
- 07:57:34 [PhUrl]
- if i go to china or japan, I'll make little flash cards with important pictograms on them and show people what i mean.
- 07:57:42 [PhUrl]
- maybe a pda would be good!
- 07:57:56 [cikkolata]
- heh, japanese isn't hard to pronounce
- 07:59:23 [PhUrl]
- so it is simpler than chinese? I found chinese difficult because of the sensitivity to pronouciation, as an american, it is difficult to do anything coordinated with my mouth. :(
- 07:59:34 [PhUrl]
- check this out, i like this symbol http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/61b6/index.htm
- 08:00:15 [cikkolata]
- I really can't do chinese pronunciation
- 08:00:23 [PhUrl]
- and this one http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/70a4/index.htm
- 08:00:30 [PhUrl]
- is that a man on the left of that?
- 08:00:47 [PhUrl]
- i would like to be able to find the common symbols in these things
- 08:01:08 [PhUrl]
- the svg files are split into vectors of strokes
- 08:01:24 [cikkolata]
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_language#Sounds but you might need to read about the IPA first to understand it
- 08:01:43 [PhUrl]
- so it should be possible to classify them based on the shapes of the components
- 08:01:52 [cikkolata]
- no, that's not a man
- 08:01:54 [PhUrl]
- can you tell me about these symbols?
- 08:02:17 [PhUrl]
- looks like a guy runnigns
- 08:04:48 [PhUrl]
- a bunch of these chars have these three strokes, i guess that means light
- 08:04:56 [PhUrl]
- http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/5f71/index.htm\
- 08:04:56 [cikkolata]
- it looks like fire to me
- 08:05:01 [PhUrl]
- ahh
- 08:05:27 [PhUrl]
- ok, that is why i am asking, you must have a large database of these symbols in your mind :)
- 08:05:42 [cikkolata]
- nah
- 08:05:46 [PhUrl]
- do you get some impression of the meaning just from looking at the char?
- 08:05:47 [cikkolata]
- I don't speak japanese that well
- 08:05:59 [PhUrl]
- how many chars can you recognise?
- 08:06:00 [cikkolata]
- with simple words
- 08:06:38 [cikkolata]
- last I checked I knew ~50 really well and could recognise 150-200 but couldn't pronounce them all
- 08:07:59 [cikkolata]
- I'm slowly learning to pronounce words I can recognise though.
- 08:08:09 [PhUrl]
- here is fire, it is similar !http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/3db0/index.htm
- 08:08:18 [PhUrl]
- http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/721f/index.htm
- 08:08:24 [cikkolata]
- well, words I don't know but recognise the kanji of
- 08:08:25 [PhUrl]
- yup, your right
- 08:08:39 [PhUrl]
- the little thing on the left is a fire symbol or something
- 08:09:14 [PhUrl]
- it seems to be a simpler for of this http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/3da8/index.htm
- 08:09:44 [cikkolata]
- ah, yeah
- 08:10:00 [cikkolata]
- some of them change when they're in different places
- 08:10:07 [cikkolata]
- grass does too, IIRC
- 08:11:13 [cikkolata]
- and person
- 08:12:00 [PhUrl]
- yeah
- 08:12:12 [PhUrl]
- it is nice. I like these things.
- 08:12:37 [cikkolata]
- they're definitely easier to learn when you know they're not all completely random squiggles.
- 08:12:38 [PhUrl]
- it would be nice to be able to find all the words that contains that fire/stick figure symbold
- 08:12:57 [cikkolata]
- that wouldn't be too hard
- 08:13:05 [PhUrl]
- i wonder if there is a dictionary that breaks the symbols into components
- 08:13:23 [PhUrl]
- i mean does this stick figure get a part in the pronounciation,
- 08:13:55 [PhUrl]
- if you look at the phonetic encoding of the word, can you identify the parts of the picture?
- 08:15:03 [cikkolata]
- there are several things I can think of... kanjidict.com/demo/frame.html has kanji sorted by radical, gjiten lets you search by radical...
- 08:15:14 [cikkolata]
- I couldn't, I don't know if you can for japanese
- 08:15:36 [cikkolata]
- in chinese you apparently have phonetic parts to kanji
- 08:22:34 [PhUrl]
- this is a really good article in the 'pedia
- 08:22:55 [PhUrl]
- i never knew that japan was a land that was invaded so often
- 08:23:04 [PhUrl]
- reminds me of romania,

- they have be invaded by so many different contries that thier language is a total mischmasch

- 08:37:18 [ruaok]
- hey.
- 08:37:29 [neil]
- I got info on everyone and figured that one must be you
- 08:37:31 [neil]
- glad to see I'm correct
- 08:37:32 [ruaok]
- what brings ya around to these parts?
- 08:37:41 [ruaok]
- :-)
- 08:37:47 [neil]
- snlo @ pacbell tipped me off
- 08:37:52 [ruaok]
- yeah.
- 08:37:58 [neil]
- I told you I'd have a look at your project, and here I am
- 08:38:00 [ruaok]
- your charter reverse did it for me. :-)
- 08:38:04 [ruaok]
- sweet.
- 08:38:10 [neil]
- I'll have you know I've avoided IRC for 6 years
- 08:38:12 [neil]

- 08:38:18 [neil]
- haha
- 08:38:26 [cikkolata]
- charter reverse?
- 08:39:10 [neil]
- if you get info on me, you'll see SLO charter (charter being a local cable company)
- 08:39:14 [neil]
- kind of gives me away ;)
- 08:39:16 [ruaok]
- cikkolata: his reverse dns pings him from SLO -- charter is a US cable company with a strong presence in SLO
- 08:39:26 [ruaok]
- ding.
- 08:39:33 [neil]
- dong?
- 08:39:36 [cikkolata]
- ahh
- 08:39:42 [ruaok]
- * ruaok snickers
- 08:39:46 [cikkolata]
- I understand now
- 08:40:09 [neil]
- So yeah -- figured if I was going to chat with you on Wednesday, I'd better have something to talk about
- 08:40:22 [ruaok]
- twas good to hang out at linnea's today. I need to do that more often.
- 08:40:22 [cikkolata]
- I was imagining someone holding a mirror to some piece of paper
- 08:40:31 [ruaok]
- heh.
- 08:40:55 [ruaok]
- I'm hoping to still see you here on wed -- regardless of the change in SO status...
- 08:41:02 [neil]
- Aw, thanks
- 08:41:04 [neil]
- glad to hear that :)
- 08:41:10 [ruaok]

- 08:41:38 [neil]
- Splendid! I'll definitely see you there
- 08:41:43 [ruaok]
- cool.
- 08:41:47 [ruaok]
- so have you looked over mb at all?
- 08:41:50 [neil]
- You've got some of my really rare stuff, but not all of it :D
- 08:41:51 [neil]
- yes
- 08:41:53 [ruaok]
- whaddya think?
- 08:42:05 [neil]
- Trying to figure out some of the UI at the moment
- 08:42:05 [ruaok]
- far from it -- so please add more!
- 08:42:23 [ruaok]
- it takes a little getting used to...
- 08:42:41 [ruaok]
- I think we do some thing that should've never been done over HTTP
- 08:42:45 [neil]
- Heh, yes. And I'm sure some careful reading would answer my questions, but it isn't immediately obvious
- 08:42:47 [neil]
- heh
- 08:42:52 [ruaok]
- but then again that is true of many web apps
- 08:43:15 [ruaok]
- well, if ya have questions, you know where to find us. :-)
- 08:43:43 [neil]

- 08:44:31 [ruaok]
- yes. sorta kinda.
- 08:44:35 [cikkolata]
- will mb eventually be completely rainbow coloured?
- 08:44:56 [neil]
- All right... I came across his app on versiontracker.com, and thought his icon/name was a little too familiar... just wanted to make sure
- 08:44:59 [ruaok]
- cikkolata: heh. at the rate at which we keep adding things, yea. :)
- 08:45:06 [neil]
- heh
- 08:45:10 [cikkolata]
- ooh
- 08:45:18 [ruaok]
- yeah, he has produced the first usable mac tagger.
- 08:45:49 [ruaok]
- but my next gen tagger is going to be much better than existing taggers.
- 08:45:58 [ruaok]
- * ruaok laughs an evil laugh
- 08:46:01 [neil]
- good to hear. I haven't touched his yet
- 08:46:06 [neil]
- I ... fear doing so
- 08:46:21 [cikkolata]
- * cikkolata waves a little flag, I already think it is better
- 08:46:31 [ruaok]
- cikkolata: thanks. :-)
- 08:46:40 [ruaok]
- and that is without guts.
- 08:46:49 [neil]
- nice, nice
- 08:46:51 [ruaok]
- but you've gotten a taste of the new guts.
- 08:47:12 [ruaok]
- I'm being paid to write an artist matching script atm.
- 08:47:20 [ruaok]
- its a freeform text field.
- 08:47:33 [ruaok]
- e.g. 'the smiths dylan joy division'
- 08:47:54 [ruaok]
- and I'm supposed to parse that as 'Smiths, The', 'Dylan, Bob' and 'Joy Division'
- 08:48:10 [ruaok]
- its been the most computer sciency programming I've done in years.
- 08:48:18 [neil]
- at the moment I'm trying to figure out what a "trm" is
- 08:48:18 [ruaok]
- Time to bust out the old alg book.
- 08:48:21 [neil]
- ugh, that sounds painful
- 08:48:27 [cikkolata]
- a pain in the arse?
- 08:48:30 [ruaok]
- TRM = TRM recognized music
- 08:48:33 [ruaok]
- cikkolata: ya.
- 08:48:53 [ruaok]
- its an acoustic fingerprint for a file. derived from the 30 seconds of audio.
- 08:49:03 [neil]
- ah, cool
- 08:49:05 [ruaok]
- of a mp3/wav/ogg/whatever
- 08:49:14 [neil]
- <- noob, as far as this is concerned ;)
- 08:49:17 [ruaok]
- helps in iding the files... but...
- 08:49:38 [ruaok]
- its not the most precise in the world and it likes resources for lunch.
- 08:49:40 [ruaok]
- and dinner
- 08:49:45 [ruaok]
- and breakfast.
- 08:49:51 [ruaok]
- mmm. tasty RAM.
- 08:49:51 [cikkolata]
- and mid-meal snakcs
- 08:50:03 [neil]
- I like RAM.

- * ruaok lucene will rock the world!
- 08:50:20 [neil]
- * neil opened a 666MB TIFF today
- 08:50:23 [neil]
- on a laptop
- 08:50:24 [ruaok]
- I need a 'lucene' shirt the way butthead has a metallica shirt.
- 08:50:33 [ruaok]
- duuude.
- 08:50:44 [neil]
- the filesize -proves- it's evil
- 08:50:44 [ruaok]
- I'm tossing about 650 - 700mb index files.
- 08:50:46 [ruaok]
- that's fun.
- 08:50:49 [neil]
- wee
- 08:51:01 [cikkolata]
- what the hell was it?!
- 08:51:09 [ruaok]
- I think by the time I get the tagger tuned right it will demand 1G of disk space.
- 08:51:18 [ruaok]
- * ruaok guesses a schematic
- 08:51:30 [neil]
- nah, they're much smaller

- three 6x6 cm (2.25"x2.25") chromes @ 2400 DPI
- 08:51:53 [ruaok]
- taken at 69 megapixels
- 08:51:54 [neil]
- scanned as one image
- 08:51:56 [PhUrl]
- ruaok: you using the java lucene?
- 08:52:02 [ruaok]
- PhUrl: yea
- 08:52:05 [cikkolata]
- * cikkolata looks impressed
- 08:52:08 [cikkolata]
- that's big.
- 08:52:37 [PhUrl]
- can it index the uuids as well? what is the size of an uuid index? or is it full text?
- 08:52:38 [neil]
- heh.. just wait till I get a dedicated medium format film scanner... then it'll be 4800 DPI .. but I digress
- 08:52:46 [ruaok]
- PhUrl: yes
- 08:52:56 [ruaok]
- damn, thats big.
- 08:53:04 [PhUrl]
- so it can index tables, and treat columns separatly?
- 08:53:24 [ruaok]
- depends on how you build your index.
- 08:53:33 [PhUrl]
- ok,
- 08:53:45 [ruaok]
- it knows only of 'documents' which are broken into key-value pairs.
- 08:53:58 [ruaok]
- so when I build an artist index it usually looks like:
- 08:54:00 [PhUrl]
- ruaok: did you hear what i was saying to cikkolata about my experiments with the uuid vector?
- 08:54:02 [ruaok]
- name => artist name
- 08:54:10 [ruaok]
- sortname => sortname
- 08:54:14 [ruaok]
- mbid => uuid
- 08:54:24 [ruaok]
- yes.
- 08:54:30 [PhUrl]
- ok, i got you,so it is able to create hashes of records
- 08:54:45 [ruaok]
- records, documents... its a fine line.
- 08:54:56 [ruaok]
- works *remarkably* well.
- 08:54:56 [PhUrl]
- what are you feeding it? rdf
- 08:55:12 [ruaok]
- documents. broken into key-value pairs.
- 08:55:24 [PhUrl]
- ok, so you have preprocessed them
- 08:55:41 [ruaok]
- well, I usually derive my data from the database.
- 08:55:50 [PhUrl]
- cool
- 08:55:56 [ruaok]
- query -> tokenize -> index
- 08:56:01 [PhUrl]

- He is my new personal hero.

- yup.
- 08:56:49 [ruaok]
- been done. I use it all the time.,

- http://pylucene.osafoundation.org/
- 08:57:13 [PhUrl]
- yeah, cool
- 08:57:13 [ruaok]

- because its ACCURATE.
- 08:58:06 [PhUrl]
- i am able to extract about 1000 mp3 infos an hour
- 08:58:15 [PhUrl]
- that is not very efficent
- 08:58:21 [ruaok]
- more accurate than any player i've seen. more accurate that MP3::Info
- 08:58:42 [PhUrl]
- ok, so you are interested in me speeding it up a bit?
- 08:58:45 [ruaok]
- accuracy is more important than speed.
- 08:58:57 [PhUrl]
- i think it could be sped up,
- 08:59:02 [ruaok]
- tell me how you'd do that.
- 08:59:09 [ruaok]
- do you understand what it does?
- 08:59:18 [PhUrl]
- ok, i just want to know if you use that code alot
- 08:59:28 [PhUrl]
- i glance through the c++ code
- 08:59:36 [PhUrl]

- i am using the libs from debian
- 09:00:10 [ruaok]
- what os?
- 09:00:15 [PhUrl]
- debian unstable
- 09:00:27 [ruaok]
- just compile the source.
- 09:00:42 [ruaok]

- well, let me see

- is slurp the entire file
- 09:02:20 [PhUrl]
- into a buffer and not use fseek

- is mp3info using buffered IO or raw syscalls?
- 09:04:40 [ruaok]
- fseek/fread
- 09:04:42 [ruaok]
- should do ok.
- 09:04:51 [yalaforge]

- 14:51:20 [cikkolata]
- wow, you agreed!
- 14:54:37 [DJKC]
- PhUrl: [02:23 01/25] <PhUrl> they have be invaded by so many different contries that thier language is a total mischmasch <---- where'd you get that idea from? They've never really been invaded much. The mongols were the last to try and were unsuccesfull. Prior to that there really weren't any invasions going back into BC times... They just tend to steal concepts, including linguistic ones
- 14:55:01 [cikkolata]
- I figured he meant romania
- 14:56:52 [DJKC]
- [02:22 01/25] <PhUrl> i never knew that japan was a land that was invaded so often <--- there was that prior to it though
- 14:57:04 [cikkolata]
- oh, yeah
- 14:57:19 [cikkolata]
- wasn't it more them invaded everywhere else?
- 14:57:23 [cikkolata]
- invading.
- 14:57:27 [DJKC]
- Really the only actual invasion I can recall is the mongol one. And arguably the US, twice, but they usually don't call that an invasion
- 14:57:39 [DJKC]
- cikkolata: not everywhere, just everywhere in east and SE asia
- 14:57:47 [cikkolata]
- close enough :p
- 14:59:13 [DJKC]
- it leads to interesting stuff, like a lot of Japanese speakers in Taiwan, that weird mixture of resentment and liking from South Korea, and the objection to Japanese troups leaving Japan ever for any reason
- 14:59:45 [DJKC]
- I remember during the first Gulf War they sent a mine sweeping unit to help the US and pretty much every country in that area lodged formal objections ^^;

- 17:33:07 [yalaforge]
- * yalaforge reads the schema again
- 17:33:33 [yalaforge]
- there were a few minor errors, IIRC
- 17:38:00 [danbri]
- could you mail leigh cc: me and a MB list or www-archive@w3.org if you remember them? :)
- 17:38:37 [yalaforge]
- err, the problem is rather with the musicbrainz web service which is inconsistent in some parts
- 17:38:52 [yalaforge]
- mm:trackNum shouldn't be used, for example
- 17:44:07 [danbri]
- ah ok...
- 17:44:21 [yalaforge]
- the cdindexList is also missing
- 17:44:29 [yalaforge]

- 17:45:04 [danbri]
- * danbri passes that on, cheers
- 17:45:10 [yalaforge]

- 17:49:59 [yalaforge]
- danbri: err, sorry. cdindexList isn't missing. it's domain is wrong, however

- 17:50:37 [danbri]
- s/pasts/pastes/
- 17:50:37 [yalaforge]
- currently, it's mm:Artist but it should be a property of mm:Album
- 17:53:52 [yalaforge]
- danbri: recently, we added release dates and amazon shop ids. these are missing from the schema
- 17:54:48 [yalaforge]
- use 'wget http://www.musicbrainz.org/mm-2.1/album/02232360-337e-4a3f-ad20-6cdd4c34288c/4' to see it all in action
- 17:55:58 [danbri]
- nifty
- 17:56:13 [danbri]
- are there any 'extended relations' or whatver the new arbitrary relationship thing is called?
- 17:56:16 [danbri]
- they'd go well into rdf
- 17:56:29 [danbri]
- 'isCoverOf', 'playsWithSometimes' etc
- 17:56:34 [yalaforge]
- not yet, AR is still under construction
- 17:56:42 [danbri]
- * danbri looks fwd to it
- 17:56:44 [yalaforge]
- unfortunately, not everything fits well:
- 17:56:59 [yalaforge]
- AR allows start and end dates for some relationships
- 17:57:04 [danbri]
- that's cool
- 17:57:08 [yalaforge]
- that's a bit more verbose to model in RDF
- 17:57:19 [danbri]
- rdf doesn't have a rep for that yet... but great to have that data
- 17:57:24 [danbri]
- more to life than rdf ;)
- 17:57:29 [yalaforge]

- 19:13:28 [djce]
- What is keep-threshold?
- 19:13:41 [ruaok]

- cikkolata: I used to play on a german tnet server. Picked up the habit of greeting with it from there, despite not really speaking any german
- 19:14:23 [djce]
- Unless you mean, the minimum number of lookups required for us to keep it. But I've never called it that before.
- 19:14:28 [cikkolata]

- * ruaok sits tight and wakes up
- 19:16:41 [cikkolata]
- * cikkolata ... uh, doesn't do anything productive
- 19:17:03 [ruaok]
- DUH. I'm sooo dense.
- 19:17:14 [ruaok]
- The donations have been rolling in. Of course the sigserver is BUSY.
- 19:18:44 [djce]
- :-)
- 19:18:47 [cikkolata]
- if you're dense, the rest of the world has no hope, really :p
- 19:20:39 [djce]
- There are approx 3630398 TRMs in the sigserver
- 19:20:59 [djce]
- and approx 3281290 rows in "trm".
- 19:21:13 [djce]
- so it seems most TRMs are in the MB database, which is a start.
- 19:23:17 [djce]
- Unfortunately counting used TRMs is just taking forever....
- 19:23:26 [djce]
- * djce is tempted to kill the sigserver now
- 19:23:47 [djce]
- * djce might even restart it again, if you all behave
- 19:24:02 [djce]
- where lookupcount >= 5 : 1517642 TRMs
- 19:24:32 [djce]
- where lookupcount >= 3 : 1750513 TRMs
- 19:24:46 [djce]
- where lookupcount >= 2 : 1898109 TRMs
- 19:24:57 [djce]
- where lookupcount >= 1 : 2078575 TRMs
- 19:25:25 [djce]
- where lookupcount >= 2 : 1625165 TRMs
- 19:26:45 [djce]
- last time we pruned down to 1989632. That was 34 days ago.
- 19:27:17 [djce]
- So if we go for keeping anything with lookupcount >= 1, we'll have bought ourselves less than 34 days.

- 20:02:57 [ruaok]
- which I so shamefully dropped last year.
- 20:02:57 [yalaforge]
- ruaok: yup.
- 20:03:11 [yalaforge]
- cikkolata: n' is short for 'guten'
- 20:03:12 [ruaok]
- looks like you two already had a conversation about this.
- 20:03:17 [cikkolata]
- ahh
- 20:03:31 [yalaforge]
- yes, there were a few things that have to be added but otherwise it looked good
- 20:03:33 [ruaok]
- yalaforge: but that is not really applicable in many contexts.
- 20:03:45 [yalaforge]
- yup
- 20:03:53 [ruaok]
- is there any chance I can convince you to take that on before you go back to school?>
- 20:04:06 [ruaok]
- I feel really bad for having left it for so long.
- 20:04:07 [yalaforge]
- a new web service you mean?
- 20:04:11 [ruaok]
- oh no.
- 20:04:24 [yalaforge]
- just looking it through?
- 20:04:28 [ruaok]
- just: get back to leigh, have him touch it uyp.
- 20:04:49 [yalaforge]
- sure, no problem
- 20:04:54 [ruaok]
- then integrate his spec into our site and arrange to have our web service stubs returns some meaningful info.
- 20:05:18 [yalaforge]
- return meaningful info?
- 20:05:18 [ruaok]
- a few hours of work, I think. Nothing totally drastic.
- 20:05:45 [ruaok]
- all the RDF URI's we use -- they return 404 (or the stub 404 currently)
- 20:05:54 [yalaforge]
- ah
- 20:05:56 [ruaok]
- we should have it return something....
- 20:05:59 [ruaok]
- a ref to the spec?
- 20:06:10 [yalaforge]
- sure, why not
- 20:06:19 [ruaok]
- awesome -- thanks!
- 20:06:23 [yalaforge]
- I'll collect a list of URIs
- 20:06:33 [ruaok]
- oh, can you please add in the AR things I did?
- 20:06:45 [ruaok]
- namely we should document that the AR namespace will change CONSTANTLY.
- 20:07:01 [yalaforge]
- I'll talk to leigh on that. my rdf schema knowledge could be better. much better
- 20:07:25 [ruaok]
- it would be nice if we could automatically generate RDF schema bits for the AR based on whats in the DB.
- 20:07:29 [ruaok]
- (danbri's suggestion)
- 20:07:41 [ruaok]
- but I am less concerned about that.
- 20:07:53 [ruaok]
- I'd be fine with saying that AR is volatile (at least for now).
- 20:08:15 [yalaforge]
- I'll see what I can do about it but let's first get the current version done. AR can be added later
- 20:08:41 [yalaforge]
- * yalaforge checks out the AR branch ...
- 20:08:43 [ruaok]
- sure.
- 20:08:54 [ruaok]
- you think we can manage an AR placeholder for the time being?
- 20:09:36 [yalaforge]
- hm, like the suggestion I made on the AR list?
- 20:09:48 [yalaforge]
- use it as an intermediate solution?

- 21:53:35 [_thom_]
- heh. on Mac OS X, or elsewhere?
- 21:53:41 [_thom_]
- what's wrong with your iTunes experience?
- 21:54:04 [Knio]
- for updating my ipod
- 21:54:19 [_thom_]
- Hrm, I don't think so, unfortunately. At least I'm not aware of one.
- 21:54:39 [_thom_]
- but maybe I can help you with the issue you're having..?
- 21:54:49 [Knio]
- itunes is completely stupid. i'm going to have to do something drastic like nuking itunes's library and reformatting my ipod :/
- 21:55:27 [_thom_]
- ..."For example," <--
- 21:55:29 [Knio]
- well..
- 21:56:09 [Knio]
- for example, it refers to files by filename only, so when I get a better version of a song, it thinks it's the same one and won't update
- 21:56:37 [_thom_]
- Yeah. I wish they'd incorporate some kind of MB tagging, personally ;)
- 21:56:46 [_thom_]
- are you ON a Mac, or a PC?
- 21:56:49 [Knio]
- PC
- 21:57:12 [_thom_]
- okay. So does the latest MB tagger have the ability to scan already-tagged mp3 files, and find duplicate songs?
- 21:57:25 [Knio]
- nope
- 21:57:56 [_thom_]
- I'm thinking that since iTunes isn't capable of doing this, there should be some app to handle this kind of dupe-finding by iterating over a folder, and keeping a simple DB based on what it finds
- 21:58:19 [_thom_]
- personally I've had such a hard time with organizing, esp. because I've moved my iTuned music library before, like to an external drive
- 21:58:22 [Knio]
- itunes is able to find duplicate songs
- 21:58:27 [Knio]
- but
- 21:58:33 [_thom_]
- and I cleaned up my collection AFTER loading my iPod, using iEatbrainz
- 21:58:39 [_thom_]
- that functionality sucks
- 21:59:01 [_thom_]
- it can't even tell that a track from a live album is different than the same track from a studio album, for example
- 21:59:02 [Knio]
- it's not acctualy useful, since theres no "remove all duplicates from library" or some such
- 21:59:09 [Knio]
- yeah
- 21:59:13 [_thom_]
- I wouldn't trust it anyway even if you could
- 22:00:26 [Knio]
- is enyone else getting errors with the mbtagger getting all the correct info, but then saving files with 0 for all the tracknums?
- 22:03:11 [g0llum]
- jep, that happens... there's no solution known for that problem else than adding them again and re-identify
- 22:03:20 [g0llum]
- usually that resolves the problem (its random)
- 22:03:31 [Knio]
- yeah, when I tag them again it fixes
- 22:06:11 [Knio]
- my ipod just became full, so I have to delete all my duplicates (I have a lot..) and then i'll probably nuke itunes, since it will take _forever_ to manually update everything :/
- 22:07:03 [g0llum]
- i dont like it either, it's too strict. an in switzerland, the store is not yet integrated anyway
- 22:07:36 [_thom_]
- the biggest problem I had was, I think I deleted or lost some of my music, which is only on the ipod now
- 22:07:51 [_thom_]
- so I can't just re-wipe and start again, I have to be super-careful
- 22:08:53 [Knio]
- yeah :/

- 22:28:03 [djce]
- And I can't think of a good reason not to right now.
- 22:29:05 [djce]

- 22:35:36 [Knio]
- hrm
- 22:36:17 [Knio]
- when I identify a song, and it automagicly goes into 'saved', is that just because it has a TRM id3 tag?
- 22:36:44 [g0llum]
- jep
- 22:37:48 [Knio]
- I would recommend that when it sees a TRM tag, it should just skip the TRM genreation + lookup, and then do a normal lookup, because lots of times the metadata has changed
- 22:39:51 [g0llum]
- the old tagger will not be updated anymore. there's a new one in the works (look for picard on the mb server/wiki)
- 22:39:57 [Knio]
- ah
- 22:40:52 [canidae]
- Knio: tagger doesn't relookup already identified songs... it's to lay off some pressure from the server
- 22:41:19 [canidae]
- or rather, tunepimp doesn't relookup files for changes...
- 22:44:19 [ruaok]
- djce: yes, awake now that I'm back from my ride.
- 22:44:41 [ruaok]
- its going to rain again, so I figgered I'd take care of excercise and waking up in one swoop.

- 22:49:04 [ruaok]
- djce: wrt to pruning...
- 22:49:28 [djce]
- da
- 22:49:34 [ruaok]
- I think shooting to prune once every 30 days seems like a pretty decent approach.
- 22:49:50 [ruaok]
- last time we nuked everything with a lookupcount of 1, right?
- 22:50:00 [djce]
- You don't like my "null sigserver" hack? - it's a semi-serious suggestion.
- 22:50:55 [ruaok]
- er, as in disabling TRM altogether?
- 22:51:05 [djce]
- According to the page I wrote at the time (http://musicbrainz.org/news/20041222-1.html) we kept lookupcount >= 1
- 22:51:20 [djce]
- Pretty much. Replacing it with a random number generator, effectively.
- 22:51:47 [ruaok]
- as much as I am tempted, lets not.
- 22:51:53 [djce]
- not, YET.
- 22:51:57 [djce]
- The time will come.
- 22:53:32 [DJKC]
- cikkolata: heh, I never noticed until looking at your import mod that one of the Konishi Yasuharu remixes of them on PRMX has a random ; in the middle of the title
- 22:53:39 [djce]
- So... 30 days. How many TRMs do we need to aim to keep then?
- 22:53:41 [djce]
- * djce ponders
- 22:54:08 [cikkolata]
- heh
- 22:55:27 [ruaok]
- how many are we left with if we prune lookupcount 1 and 0 ?
- 22:56:27 [djce]
- * djce reads backscroll ... it's up there somewhere
- 22:56:39 [djce]
- where lookupcount >= 2 : 1625165 TRMs
- 22:57:38 [ruaok]
- sounds good to me.
- 22:57:48 [djce]
- That means throwing away more than 50%, which is about right for 30 days.
- 22:58:15 [djce]
- Or to put it another way, if we did that, sometime from 21 days onwards we can expect to have to cull agian.
- 22:58:42 [ruaok]
- hopefully more.
- 22:58:48 [ruaok]
- unless we have another spike
- 22:58:57 [djce]
- Yeah, hopefully. It's an inexact science.
- 22:59:06 [djce]
- * djce prepares to prune...
- 22:59:45 [djce]
- So far we've never actually deleted the corresponding rows from the trm* tables. Maybe this time we should.
- 23:00:30 [djce]
- It's not as important, but it should be done at some point.

- 23:34:49 [djce]
- No, but I did keep the data aside so I can do that (accurately) later if I get round to it.
- 23:35:11 [djce]
- I've got a spare table knocking around containing IDs to delete from "trm".
- 23:35:35 [djce]
- mb=> select count(*) from trms_to_throw;
- 23:35:35 [djce]

- 23:35:35 [djce]

- 23:35:35 [djce]
- 1257136
- 23:35:35 [djce]
- (1 row)
- 23:36:24 [djce]
- (hmmm... let's ditch the old discid and toc tables shall we. I don't think we need to keep /them/ any more).
- 23:36:28 [dupuy]
- that includes trms that were purged from the TRM server in the earlier purges, too, right?
- 23:37:15 [djce]
- Yes it does. Basically I just created two mutually exclusive datasets:
- 23:37:20 [rjmunro]
- rjmunro has joined #musicbrainz
- 23:37:25 [djce]
- (i) TRMs for the sigserver to keep
- 23:37:37 [djce]
- (ii) TRMs to delete from the postgres database.
- 23:37:58 [djce]
- where (i) union (ii) was the entire contents of the TRM table.
- 23:38:07 [dupuy]
- in the sigserver, right?
- 23:38:54 [dupuy]
- or the entire contents of the MB TRM table?
- 23:39:04 [djce]
- the postgres table.
- 23:39:45 [djce]
- So every TRM which was in the SQL database just before the cull is either (a) still in the sigserver data files, or (ii) on my "to delete" list.
- 23:40:28 [dupuy]
- right, gotcha on that
- 23:41:39 [dupuy]
- well, i'd vote for tossing the orphans - wish it would reduce the TRM conflicts, but sadly the conflicting ones are the least likely to be purged
- 23:42:04 [djce]
- I'm just preparing the ground for that now, to see how quick and easy it might be to do...
