can anyone give this guy a response that wont just turn him off of mb? http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=4167618
00:08:43 [ruaok]
* ruaok rocks to a techo beat
00:09:16 [Shepard]
I'm not the right one for this kind of response
00:09:25 [Shepard]
more the opposite :>
00:10:53 [Muz]
* Muz can only act likes a complete ass to people and he knows he lacks people skills a lot
00:11:14 [Shepard]
heh thanks for the OK donredman
00:11:15 [SenRepus]
indeed
00:15:56 [donredman]
Shepard: I figured it is better to give people an ok quickly than to let all the energy be wasted if lengthy debates.
00:16:09 [donredman]
We can still debate _if_ someone complains
00:20:18 [Jetpacked]
maybe he should use "con" or "canta" instead of just "c" depending on which one applies
00:20:27 [Jetpacked]
Jetpacked is now known as Jetpack
00:24:05 [Jetpack]
SenRepus?
00:24:17 [SenRepus]
yea
00:24:19 [SenRepus]
?
00:24:24 [SenRepus]
oh
00:24:53 [SenRepus]
but style rules say to always use feat
00:27:01 [SenRepus]
we cant use "(with Artist)" or "(duet with Artist)"
00:27:23 [SenRepus]
the rules are to ambigue data :P
00:27:25 [SenRepus]
im going to bed
00:27:54 [Jetpack]
ok
00:27:56 [Jetpack]
night
00:28:07 [SenRepus]
id honestly like to see accomodation for other types of collaborations but its just against the rules -_-
00:28:19 [SenRepus]
i didnt get me any mo today -_-
00:29:11 [Shepard]
night sen
00:30:39 [donredman]
night
00:32:06 [Shepard]
donredman: quick request: can you make http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ReleaseAnnotationStyle official? there are no objections. though I can ask on the mailing list again if you want
00:33:05 [donredman]
please do, so that anybody could raise objections (such things should not be decided on irc IMO).
00:33:24 [Shepard]
good
00:34:52 [donredman]
Shepard: do you have an account on trac?
00:35:07 [Shepard]
yes, created one
00:35:13 [Shepard]
"Shepard"
00:35:55 [donredman]
I want to keep track of things there, so I create a ticket and assign it to you, ok?
00:38:31 [Shepard]
ok
00:38:58 [Shepard]
§$%& now i send the mail from the wrong address again
00:39:06 [lauri_]
lauri_ has quit
00:46:11 [donredman]
man trac on test.mb is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
00:47:16 [ruaok]
oh?
00:47:44 [ruaok]
never been slow for me, but then again I sit right nex to the machine often
00:48:09 [donredman]
I am waiting for two ticket pages to update since at least a minute
00:48:30 [ruaok]
WTF???? http://www.resellerratings.com
00:48:33 [ruaok]
crap
00:48:39 [ruaok]
load is at 100.0!
00:49:42 [donredman]
aborting and reloading the page fixes it. but this is not the first time it happens to me
00:49:59 [donredman]
Shepard: you can now accept http://test.musicbrainz.org/trac/ticket/1010
00:50:45 [donredman]
btw ruaok: is there a way to mark tickets as approved by the style secretary in trac?
00:50:51 [Shepard]
already did
00:51:40 [donredman]
could not connet to remote server test.musicbrainz.org wtf?
00:51:49 [donredman]
now it works
00:52:11 [ruaok]
I restarted apache
00:52:16 [ruaok]
WTF was that all about.
00:52:17 [nikki_]
so much for sleeping.
00:52:18 [donredman]
ah ok
00:52:27 [ruaok]
donredman: not sure about the style question though.
00:53:05 [donredman]
I'd hate to have my own list of style issues when trac could do everything in public.
00:55:52 [ruaok]
whatever that problem was, I have no idea.
00:56:18 [ruaok]
well, if it happens again monday morning, I do have a clue
00:56:37 [donredman]
I'll mention it again if it persists after trac has moved to another server
00:56:51 [ruaok]
mention it anytime trac gets slow.
00:56:53 [donredman]
"Ich hasse Montage"?
00:57:04 [ruaok]
but trac will move to the main server when we move to the new colo
00:58:11 [ruaok]
ok, back to spending other people's money
00:58:24 [donredman]
have fun!
00:58:51 [ruaok]
tedious work, unfortunately
01:00:10 [donredman]
Shepard: have you fixed http://test.musicbrainz.org/trac/ticket/1008
01:00:12 [donredman]
?
01:00:43 [donredman]
http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/AmazonRelationshipType?action=diff looks like you did.
01:01:01 [Shepard]
only on the wiki, this wants it to be in the AR description though
01:01:15 [donredman]
are you ar editor?
01:01:24 [Shepard]
no
01:01:31 [donredman]
you want to be?
01:02:09 [nikki_]
btw, am I allowed to correct spelling mistakes in bug reports?
01:02:26 [donredman]
of course
01:02:50 [donredman]
how do you edit the text of a bug report? I think I cannot.
01:03:05 [nikki_]
I don't know, someone gave me the privs to
01:03:44 [donredman]
Shepard: ?
01:03:53 [Shepard]
mir egal
01:04:48 [donredman]
Mir egal heißt, ok, na gut, aber deshalb mache noch nicht die Arbeit, richtig?
01:05:33 [Shepard]
lol
01:05:45 [nikki_]
what does egal mean?
01:05:48 [Shepard]
heißt eher, dass ich nicht unbedingt drauf bestehe
01:05:55 [donredman]
whatever
01:06:06 [Shepard]
nikki: i don't care
01:06:39 [donredman]
ruaok: Might I disturb your shopping pleasures once more?

:-)
01:13:20 [nikki_]
* nikki_ wonders how many people get emails when she fixes the spellings...
01:13:21 [donredman]
nikki_: I think so, and it should be attached to the respective milestone
01:13:32 [nikki_]
what's hanuta?

01:16:24 [donredman]
nope
01:18:51 [ruaok]
Shepard: you log out and back in on the main stie.
01:19:09 [ruaok]
donredman: can you look at the track docs and tell me what priv keyword you need?
01:19:26 [donredman]
sure
01:22:57 [fuchs]
re
01:23:20 [donredman]
I don't get it the closest thing on http://test.musicbrainz.org/trac/wiki/TracPermissions is TICKET_MODIFY, but it does not say, that it will allow me to edit the ticket description.
01:24:06 [nikki_]
can't you compare my privs and don's privs?
01:24:21 [ruaok]
donredman: I just gave you TICKET_MODIFY a minute ago
01:24:23 [ruaok]
nikki_: ok
01:25:42 [ruaok]
donredman: I made you a full fledged developer, just like nikki
01:25:46 [ruaok]
log out and back in
01:26:24 [donredman]
* donredman is scared he'll have to learn to code with the new privs
01:27:06 [fuchs]
:o)
01:27:20 [donredman]
works, thanks!
01:28:17 [nikki_]
donredman: I forbid you to do that! if you learn to code, you won't be our special person who sees things from a non-coder's point of view anymore!
01:28:37 [donredman]
don't wory :-9
01:28:41 [nikki_]
* nikki_ grins
01:29:08 [ruaok]
* ruaok personally wants to beat some coding sense into donredman
01:29:20 [ruaok]
but nikki does have a good point
01:29:49 [fuchs]
* fuchs wants to beat some sense into don, too *eg*
01:30:02 [nikki_]
aww, poor don
01:30:08 [donredman]
* donredman hides
01:30:43 [donredman]
btw beating is my domain: Pedagogues do that (with a cane) >:>
01:31:12 [ruaok]
fuchs: lol
01:32:08 [nikki_]
aie! romanian capitalisation standard *<:D
01:34:03 [donredman]
and we still do not have a Spanish one...
01:34:07 [nikki_]
yup :(
01:34:13 [nikki_]
there's a problem I think
01:34:44 [nikki_]
I'm pretty sure spanish spanish is sentence mode...
01:34:49 [nikki_]
but I don't know about america
01:35:31 [ruaok]
yes, we do need a spanish one asap.
01:35:53 [nikki_]
I know of a spanish mod...
01:35:59 [nikki_]
* nikki_ goes to bug them :)
01:44:26 [ruaok]
* ruaok is excited by the new style process stuff
01:44:43 [ruaok]
(then again, it be all the caffeine)
01:46:53 [donredman]
:-)
01:48:28 [donredman]
I am still looking for a way to store the 'status' of a style issue in trac (unchecked, OK, disputed)
01:48:32 [ruaok]
oh and g0llum picked 'waffle' for a server name. I vetoed it, since there are too many negative connotations (at least in .us english)
01:49:04 [ruaok]
so, i asked Kevin Murphy a long time hardware supporter of MuiscBrainz (and he wrote the current search routines)
01:49:12 [ruaok]
and he said: Stimpy !!
01:49:30 [ruaok]
now we have: zim, bender, catbus, lingling, dexter and stimpy
01:49:53 [ruaok]
all we need is one more server to run lucene on.
01:49:58 [ruaok]
that's tomorrow's chore.
01:51:32 [ruaok]
donredman: we could add another attribute, but then those show up for ALL bug types.
01:51:45 [nikki_]
* nikki_ sent an email to the spanish guy
01:52:05 [donredman]
ruaok: not good
01:52:08 [ruaok]
adding a status line at the bottom of each item is not going to work?
01:52:49 [donredman]
but it does not show up in the report. I could add "[official]" to the title
01:53:34 [donredman]
but how long will it take until an idiot creates a new issue with [official] in the title?
01:53:51 [ruaok]
gah. $32 for a set of rackmount rails. RIPOFFF
01:54:18 [ruaok]
donredman: true. another thing to police.
01:54:47 [nikki_]
btw, how do the keywords things work?
01:55:57 [donredman]
no idea
02:00:12 [nikki_]
ruaok: is this fixed or? http://test.musicbrainz.org/trac/ticket/700
02:06:39 [nikki_]
and http://test.musicbrainz.org/trac/ticket/720 ? it deletes directories for me...
02:06:42 [yllona]

02:07:26 [ruaok]
yllona: hi!
02:07:26 [nikki_]
ooh, so I can close it?
02:07:29 [donredman]
hi
02:07:32 [ruaok]
I'm about to purchase hardware....
02:07:43 [ruaok]
can you forward me andy's tips for SATAII RAID controllers?
02:07:43 [yllona]
hey ru, hello don
02:07:48 [nikki_]
ruaok: actually, which were you talking about?
02:08:01 [ruaok]
I;'m leaning towards a 3ware controller
02:08:14 [ruaok]
nikki_: I closed the first bug.
02:08:18 [nikki_]
ah
02:08:28 [donredman]
nikki_: he seems to be preoccupied with other stuff
02:08:37 [yllona]
ru, yes. will do. and e-mail andy if you have any questions. this is the sort of thing that makes him giddy :)
02:08:44 [ruaok]
gee, that's what my GF said too. :-0
02:08:57 [ruaok]
yllona: yay!
02:08:58 [donredman]
<ruaok> and that pink one, how do I look in it?
02:09:02 [donredman]
:-P
02:09:09 [nikki_]
* nikki_ laughs
02:09:17 [ruaok]
* ruaok is confused
02:09:24 [donredman]
* donredman hopes Rob does not buy pink servers :-D
02:09:38 [nikki_]
we all know my opinion...
02:09:40 [ruaok]
beige for the supermicros and black for the dells
02:09:53 [ruaok]
the dells have cool blue leds if everything is well
02:09:55 [donredman]
I think black fits you best :-P
02:10:01 [nikki_]
me?
02:10:04 [ruaok]
* ruaok likes both dells and supermicros
02:10:06 [nikki_]
or ruaok?
02:10:16 [nikki_]
I used to have a purple case...
02:10:20 [donredman]
no him of course, and the blue leds too
02:10:22 [nikki_]
ah
02:10:37 [nikki_]
but now I have a black one.
02:11:17 [nikki_]
hmm.
02:11:52 [nikki_]
the only things left of the computer I built on a £300 budget are its mobo and cpu
02:15:35 [ruaok]
nikki_: we need to close a lot of the MB tagger bugs.
02:16:09 [nikki_]
* nikki_ takes a look at them
02:16:10 [ruaok]
I think we have either heard (and fixed) about the bugs that might be libtp bugs.
02:16:31 [ruaok]
tagger improvements and tagger specific bugs can be closed with a wontfix.
02:16:51 [ruaok]
when you close a bug as wontfix, include a note to tell people to use picard
02:17:05 [ruaok]
ok, I'm off for a couple of hours.
02:17:11 [ruaok]
I need to go stretch my butt.
02:17:54 [nikki_]
mp4 is the same as m4a, isn't it?
02:18:37 [yllona]
nikki_: yes, and no. .m4a is MPEG-4 audio (only)
02:18:46 [nikki_]
yllona: when it comes to mb support
02:18:57 [Mudcrow]
Mudcrow has quit
02:19:03 [yllona]
it's AAC (Advanced Audio Codec)
02:19:21 [yllona]
nikki_: in that case "yes" :)
02:19:25 [nikki_]
thanks!
02:19:27 [inhouseuk]
wrapped in a mp4 container
02:19:38 [yllona]
inhouseuk: yep
02:20:37 [yllona]
nikki_: one last thought. .mp4 is the AAC protected from the itunes music store
02:20:48 [nikki_]
I thought those were m4p
02:21:01 [yllona]
oops! yes, that's what i meant (type)
02:21:09 [yllona]
*typo, again
02:21:36 [inhouseuk]
and m4b are audio books
02:22:18 [yllona]
and there is an "apple lossless codec" as well. don't know the extension, sorry
02:22:45 [inhouseuk]
* inhouseuk can't remember either
02:26:05 [nikki_]
my itunes creates m4a for lossless
02:26:27 [inhouseuk]
yeah, just found it, confusingly it's m4a as well
02:26:42 [nikki_]
* nikki_ doesn't use any of those anyway :)
02:26:48 [inhouseuk]
stupid apple
02:28:26 [yllona]
eek.
02:28:58 [inhouseuk]
I occasionly encode to m4a using FAAC for one of my friends that insists that he wants them instead of mp3
02:29:11 [yllona]
inhouseuk: have you heard this:
02:29:15 [yllona]
* yllona is listening to Frank Zappa: Music For Electric Violin And Budget Orchestra by Jean-Luc Ponty from King Kong: Jean-Luc Ponty Plays the Music of Frank Zappa (1969) (11:41 / 19:26)
02:29:28 [inhouseuk]
don't think so
02:29:51 [yllona]
it's quite fabulous, JL ponty was one of the original members of the mothers of invention
02:31:52 [yllona]
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000005HE8
02:32:26 [donredman]
what is the parser behind the wiki markup in annotations?
02:32:45 [inhouseuk]
* inhouseuk looks
02:34:00 [inhouseuk]
it appears to be using the Text::WikiFormat perl module
02:35:14 [donredman]
don't know that. But that means it's not MoinMoin
02:35:25 [donredman]
thanks inhouseuk
02:35:29 [nikki_]
* nikki_ happily closes bugs
02:41:44 [inhouseuk]
donredman: it only seems to support a simple level of formating - http://search.cpan.org/~chromatic/Text-WikiFormat-0.77/lib/Text/WikiFormat.pm#Wiki_Format
02:42:11 [donredman]
* donredman reads
02:43:18 [donredman]
ok, it is reasonably similar to moin's markup but does not allow macros of any kind.
02:43:30 [nikki_]
I think the urls are different
02:45:52 [donredman]
yea, but moin's urls are PITA
02:46:17 [donredman]
they are going to fix this but not before MoinMoin 2.0 :-(
02:46:19 [fuchs]
nikki_: are you closing _all_ MB Tagger bugs? :)
02:50:20 [fuchs]
donredman: ah, you are a link editor (or whatever this is called today), right?
02:50:31 [donredman]
yes
02:51:03 [fuchs]
donredman: http://test.musicbrainz.org/trac/ticket/1008 should be a matter of seconds ;)
02:51:36 [donredman]
No no no. I don't do the actual work.
02:51:40 [nikki_]
fuchs: no
02:51:54 [fuchs]
donredman: why not?
02:52:12 [donredman]
I will spend ten time that time to get Robert to make you a RelType editor, though
02:52:17 [donredman]
fuchs: Adenauer.
02:53:06 [fuchs]
well, is there a reason you are a "RelType editor" then? ;o)
02:53:29 [nikki_]
fuchs: I'm closing the ones specific to mbtagger, or ones which are now fixed in picard
02:53:40 [nikki_]
but there are some which are equally valid for either
02:53:53 [fuchs]
ah, ok
02:54:22 [donredman]
The idea is to get things working in a sustainable way. We already know that the Dude/Leader/Secretary will suffer burnout if she/he starts to do the actual work.
02:54:26 [fuchs]
in this case you could reassign them to picard ;)
02:54:33 [donredman]
lol
02:54:55 [nikki_]
but that's not as fun as closing bugs
02:55:03 [fuchs]
omg, ruaok, what have you done? :)
02:55:59 [donredman]
by making me secretary? You can succeed me in April if you want :-P
02:56:13 [fuchs]
dream on ;)
02:56:26 [fuchs]
is this correct english?
02:56:36 [nikki_]
ja
02:56:38 [LTjake]
LTjake has quit
03:07:43 [nikki_]

03:13:27 [fuchs]
yes
03:17:49 [nikki_]
down to 50 open mbtagger bugs and I ought to try sleeping.

03:24:38 [donredman]

why can't there just be a binary of picard that just runs, why do i need to install all this stuff that i can't tell if i have or not or has multiple names.. ugh
03:56:31 [fuchs]
because the picard scripts are not binaries :)
03:59:01 [GURT]
oh
03:59:32 [GURT]
well
03:59:35 [GURT]
yeah
04:00:21 [fuchs]
it works on windows the way you proposed, because there is a working solution to translate a python script into a binary executable
04:01:36 [GURT]
i wish someone would write more detailed instructions on how to install this thing because i really think that a list of requirments dosen't coun't as instructions. heh
04:02:30 [GURT]
i have no idea what to do with libtunepimp-0.4.2.tar.gz -- the instructions for it are "makes sure you have libraries so and so installed"
04:03:08 [fuchs]
*g*
04:03:50 [fuchs]
it's the default: ./configure; make; make install
04:06:49 [GURT]
ah that seems kind of familiar
04:07:07 [GURT]
i can't say i install much outside of whatever is in the ubuntu repositories
04:10:22 [nechto13]

* The MusicBrainz client library needs to be installed
04:13:26 [GURT]
but i already installed it!
04:13:38 [fuchs]
intall the -dev or -devel package for that lib
04:13:52 [GURT]
ok
04:13:59 [fuchs]
depends on the distribution how they call it
04:14:17 [GURT]
libmusicbrainz4-dev
04:14:32 [GURT]
i only had libmusicbrainz4c2
04:14:41 [GURT]
which i have no clue as if it's the latest version
04:14:42 [nechto13]
yllona: do you think i should add guest performers for ISO once i'm done with the regular performers? if so how would i signify their temporary role?
04:15:03 [nechto13]
* nechto13 waves at everyone
04:15:07 [GURT]
hi
04:15:50 [yllona]
there's an AR for intrumental and one of the check boxes indicates a "guest" role
04:16:40 [nechto13]
that's not an artist to artist AR though, it's artist to track or artist to album AR
04:16:54 [yllona]
so you have something like this: [artist name] performs [instrument] then check "guest" before submit.
04:17:06 [yllona]
it works the same way for tracks and albums
04:17:19 [nechto13]
and i'm not planning to add any albums for ISO
04:18:02 [yllona]
so you're adding them as band members?
04:18:03 [nechto13]
besides most of those were live concerts on which the guests performed
04:18:23 [nechto13]
i haven't started adding guest performers yet
04:18:33 [nechto13]
that's why i was curious
04:18:57 [yllona]
let me look, hang on
04:23:26 [GURT]
fuchs: what is this ctypes stuff?
04:23:53 [GURT]
the readme says to remove something that the OTHER instructions told me to install!
04:24:06 [rowaasr13]
rowaasr13 has quit
04:24:07 [fuchs]
GURT: it's a module to integrate extensions written in C into python scripts
04:24:15 [yllona]
nechto you can only add "is/was member of" but you can restrict the date for teh guest performance
04:24:17 [fuchs]
hmm?
04:24:56 [GURT]
i dont know
04:25:06 [GURT]
this is a goose chase
04:25:30 [GURT]
python-musicbrainz
04:25:30 [GURT]
If you've installed python-musicbrainz before, you will need to remove the
04:25:30 [GURT]
old directory. With ctypes I only need one file, not a whole directory of
04:25:30 [GURT]
stuff.
04:26:24 [GURT]
im told to go get the mb ctypes.. so i do and that tells me to remove something that told me to get the ctypes.. and it's telling me to go someplace else to get some other moduel
04:26:40 [GURT]
i just want to install and use picard already
04:27:13 [sysrq]
lol
04:27:20 [sysrq]
what distro is this?
04:27:33 [nechto13]
yllona: member for one day, week, or season eh? i wonder if that's he best way to go. i'd think that if someone added a live concert for ISO then a guest performer could be related to that. i think that would be better, don't you?
04:27:43 [fuchs]
GURT: hmm, just install ctypes from your distribution
04:27:55 [sysrq]
I did ctypes myself here
04:27:58 [sysrq]
not like it's a hard install
04:28:03 [GURT]
sysrq: i'm reading the picard instructions
04:28:06 [fuchs]
GURT: python-ctypes on ubuntu, it works
04:28:16 [GURT]
and the instructions of everything else it's telling me to read
04:28:20 [sysrq]
lol
04:28:21 [nechto13]
i wonder what's the additional checkbox is for on is/was a member of AR?
04:28:27 [yllona]
nechto13: guests are for performances, unless it's some artist in residence thing, which happens often
04:28:41 [nechto13]
i don't think i've ever seen it being used
04:28:53 [yllona]
nechto13: which
04:28:59 [GURT]
ok.. thats more like it fuchs
04:29:57 [yllona]
nechto13: some band will invite a guest performer for a particular recording
04:30:19 [nechto13]
isn't that more appropriate here?
04:30:58 [yllona]
guests are for performances with an orchestra, they're not acually memebers
04:31:03 [yllona]
of teh orchestra
04:31:20 [GURT]
python-ctypes installed.. now what do i do with python-musicbrainz-1.0b3-picard.tar.gz ?
04:31:43 [sysrq]
erm
04:31:49 [sysrq]
you don't need that anymore do you?
04:31:53 [sysrq]
since it's part of libmusicbrainz
04:31:54 [GURT]
i don't know
04:31:59 [fuchs]
GURT: you can use the python-musicbrainz from ubuntu as well
04:32:03 [GURT]
well i don't have 2.1.1
04:32:04 [sysrq]
but I'm using cvs so it might be just packaged seperately
04:32:07 [GURT]
er
04:32:09 [GURT]
i don't have 2.1.2
04:32:14 [GURT]
ubuntu only has 2.1.1
04:32:29 [ojnkpjg]
ubuntu has too many u's.
04:32:30 [yllona]
nechto13: orchestra's are "guilds", so performing as a guest doesn't make one a member of the orchestra.
04:32:47 [GURT]
i'll tell you what it dosen't have enough of..
04:33:10 [ojnkpjg]
i've been using debian for a while
04:33:14 [ojnkpjg]
i hated everything i tried before it
04:33:28 [ojnkpjg]
for years and years i'd install slackware 3.0 or something and just build the system myself
04:33:31 [nechto13]
then it wouldn't be good to add them as members for a particular period either, would it? since it's usually limited to a season when the concerts are given or it's done only for a one time recording
04:33:36 [ojnkpjg]
because all the distributions were full of crap that got in your way
04:33:41 [ojnkpjg]
then i went to college and had no time
04:33:53 [nechto13]
i wonder if there's acutally a style guideline that addresses the issue
04:33:57 [yllona]
nechto13: unless the guest artist/composer has an "artist-in-residence" position, though those are usually for conductors & composers
04:34:05 [GURT]
i couldn't get debian to install so i had to have ubuntu hold my hand
04:34:17 [ojnkpjg]
at least it's not mandrake
04:34:19 [ojnkpjg]
is that still around?
04:34:28 [GURT]
i think it has a different name
04:34:31 [ojnkpjg]
oh
04:34:35 [GURT]
mandingo or something
04:34:39 [ojnkpjg]
hehe
04:35:03 [GURT]
ubuntu tells me that python-musicbrainz is a dummy file
04:35:56 [ruaok]
ok
04:38:18 [nechto13]
yllona: if there's no definitive answer to how this should be done, then i think this should be brought to don redmon's attention, although i would think that this information should be on the live performances not on the orchestra
04:38:46 [ruaok]
* ruaok continues his monolouge with his stretched butt
04:39:11 [yllona]
nechto13: as i said guests are for perfomances and those associated recordings
04:40:13 [yllona]
nechto13: unless it's an "artist-in-residence" arrangement
04:40:41 [nechto13]
alright then, i guess i'll have to wait until people start using ISO in ARs
04:40:58 [yllona]
yes, or enter recordings
04:41:38 [nechto13]
hopefully its strange looking artist name won't scare anyone away :P

try python2.3 instead of python
04:43:35 [nechto13]
considering that israel philharmonic's artist name is written in hebrew, doesn't that mean that the text flow of the page should be from right to left?
04:43:44 [GURT]
but it says i need 2.4 in one of the 234234 INSTRUCTION files
04:43:47 [ojnkpjg]
oh
04:43:52 [GURT]
so annoying
04:43:56 [ojnkpjg]
i thought 2.3 worked
04:44:08 [GURT]
i'm just following "instructions"
04:44:27 [nechto13]
everyone's wisely ignoring my question :)
04:44:27 [GURT]

04:44:33 [fuchs]

04:48:18 [fuchs]
GURT: is picard running?
04:48:53 [GURT]
no, not yet atleast
04:49:08 [inhouseuk]
ah, the relationship might be the other direction, in which case it wouldn't be included under that artist. I need to tweek my report :(
04:49:10 [GURT]
i'm still backtracking through allt he instructions to check what my next step is
04:50:24 [inhouseuk]

great music though!
10:55:05 [SenRepus]
wait, i dont get it, i thought only propper nouns were to be capitalized, did that person lowercase a bunch of propper nouns?
10:55:10 [SenRepus]
yea, i love that CD
10:55:22 [SenRepus]
but i think track 14 is mis-artisted

Yann Tiersen's works totally rock
10:55:41 [juhae]
And waltz and stuff ;)
10:57:05 [azertus]
no, he lowercase all combinations of "definite article, noun" , etc
10:57:11 [azertus]
it's all explained on http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/CapitalizationStandardFrench
10:58:57 [azertus]
what I'm saying (especially with all the different capitalisation proposals) we could really use a rollback/revert feature or the locking feature
10:59:07 [Jetpack]
Jetpack has joined #musicbrainz
11:00:49 [SenRepus]
yes, i would like locking
11:01:21 [SenRepus]
why does that "Amelie" one with no discID have such wonkey times on it?
11:01:31 [SenRepus]
i read the add album mod notes and im not sure if i believe them to be correct
11:02:41 [SenRepus]
actually, heh, i own that version
11:02:44 [Jetpack]
amelie rocks
11:02:49 [SenRepus]
but the track times are wonky as hell
11:02:50 [azertus]
hmm, I thought someone had already submitted a delete mod for that one
11:03:51 [SenRepus]
also, track 14 in the notes is as follows:
11:03:57 [azertus]
nah, there was discussion at http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=4165623
11:04:25 [SenRepus]
Si tu n'etais pas la (frehel)
11:04:36 [SenRepus]
p. Bayle / G. Claret
11:04:47 [SenRepus]
where the second line is the composers
11:05:41 [azertus]
then I think it's correct the way it's now
11:05:45 [SenRepus]
but nowhere is russ columbo mentioned for track 7
11:06:35 [SenRepus]
oh, i thought i had looked at the artist Frehel and they only had tracks from this soundtrack
11:07:04 [azertus]
track 7 says G. Khan / R. A. Whiting - H. Akst
11:08:53 [Shepard]
hi azertus
11:09:01 [SenRepus]
honestly i think they should be merged, the two 20 track versions
11:09:16 [SenRepus]
the only difference in them i see is the dispute of the title
11:09:55 [azertus]
hello!
11:10:05 [azertus]
actually, I added the accents to the titles
11:10:30 [SenRepus]
oh, no, i found a difference
11:10:38 [SenRepus]
track 8 doesnt have an accent on mine
11:10:42 [azertus]
I didn't know it was an anglo-american release; I think it still needs a release to warrant a stay in the db
11:10:54 [azertus]
again, my doing :p
11:11:09 [Shepard]
about these Tiësto non-album tracks I'm not sure how to argue when removing them
11:11:39 [azertus]
I wasn't really sure if accents are kept on Uppercase French letters; they probably aren't...
11:11:42 [SenRepus]
so then, really, the only difference is the album name? those times are bogus
11:13:41 [azertus]
hmmm, I'll look up what we said when removing similar singletrack albums from 2manydj's
11:16:53 [azertus]
it all started at http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=2943780 so, just say: single track version of ..., which hasn't been released officially
11:18:43 [nechto13]
juhae, i'll look at your album adds later. sorry for not responing earlier i was playing a game
11:18:47 [Shepard]
no I mean, I have no real proof..
11:19:43 [azertus]
Sen, don't be confused, I just added another version :) http://musicbrainz.org/album/164694e7-1747-4add-9e72-5c51c4f5f0b2.html
11:22:01 [nechto13]
i think i'm gonna take sen's advice and go back to sleep, before i get a chance to barf up a lung. i think i got sick from a guy at work who's a walking bacteria trap, it's not that he's unclean is that he is always sneazing and coughing, but no one can tell if he is sick or it's his allergies. he has a very bad case of allergies

11:25:30 [azertus]
Sen, maybe a delete of the Amelie album would be the best/cleanest solution. Then if someone comes along with the possible anglo-american release, it can be dealt with properly. A lot of the TRMs are probably wrong anyway
11:31:47 [azertus]
and we're still missing the Japanese "Amelie from Montmartre" rls and the UK "Amélie from Montmartre" one (note the accents :p)
11:37:02 [SenRepus]
like i said, i own the angl-american version
11:38:15 [azertus]
ah, now I understand; then there's no problem really, is there? you can check the tracktimes (or add a discid) and then that confusion will be over too...
11:38:55 [SenRepus]
i added the discID to the other version a long while ago :/
11:39:33 [azertus]
shouldn't it be moved then?
11:41:32 [SenRepus]
aparently
11:41:36 [SenRepus]
i think they should be merged though
11:42:27 [luks]
luks has joined #musicbrainz
11:43:34 [azertus]
I don't remember who said it and where, but I agree that merges should only be done when tracks are identical, _title is identical_, ...
11:43:47 [azertus]
merging would essentialy lose the title info of the american version
11:44:35 [azertus]
later, with all the Objects, all the different versions we've got now will map easily into the new structure
11:46:19 [SenRepus]
heh, how am i suppoed to know which one to move :P ?
11:48:28 [SenRepus]

* Scytale just did his first addition to the MB database... it feels great ;)
12:00:57 [mustaqila]
You know what feels better though? Tidying up my room and finally having a bed I can sleep on instead of the floor : D
12:01:33 [Jetpack]
you sleep on the floor?
12:01:43 [Scytale]
Oh, you can sleep with stuff on your bed as well. Just think of it as massage toys.
12:02:09 [mustaqila]
Jetpack, yes I have done for the past few months since my bed was taken over by various items
12:02:17 [Scytale]
How can I generate TRMs and submit them? This isn't possible with Picard, right?
12:02:28 [mustaqila]
Scytale, yeah but it gets to the point where I don't want to wake up with things in my back
12:02:40 [mustaqila]
Scytale, use MBTagger to tag them and submit TRMs
12:03:02 [Scytale]
Will do, thanks
12:03:22 [azertus]
don't, scy
12:03:38 [azertus]
really, it's not worth the trouble
12:03:56 [Jetpack]
my floor is usually taken over by various items and i sleep on my bed
12:04:08 [Scytale]
azertus: What would you recommend then?
12:04:10 [azertus]
good to see a new soundtrack moderator though!
12:04:31 [mustaqila]
Jetpack, as was mine, but the mess spread to the entire room and I gave up on sleeping at the desk after a week or so of gettnig neck and back pains
12:05:02 [mustaqila]
Scytale, the reason is that MBTagger is going to be "phased out" in favour of Picard where TRMs aren't needed
12:05:48 [Scytale]
And how do you generate audio fingerprints then?
12:06:22 [mustaqila]
Correct me if I'm wrong but they won't be needed anymore
12:07:53 [Scytale]
Erm. And how am I supposed to tag single tracks without any meta information then?
12:13:21 [Scytale]
As far as I've read the website, Picard just doesn't support TRMs _yet_.
12:14:38 [azertus]
Scy, just because a part of the community doesn't see a point in continuing to use TRM's, doesn't mean you can't use them!
12:14:53 [azertus]
just follow mustaqila's suggestion and you'll be fine ;)
12:15:33 [azertus]
btw, it's pretty unlikely for Picard ever to support TRM's
12:15:41 [mustaqila]
* mustaqila isn't too fond of Picard anyhow, he prefers MBTagger
12:16:08 [azertus]
if a valid alternative fingerprinting solution comes along, it might be integrated in Picard
12:16:42 [mustaqila]
* mustaqila ponders off elsewhere to watch his film in peace :)
12:16:44 [Shepard]
I'm not sure if that describes it appropriatly: http://www.last.fm/tag/fucking%20holy%20shit
12:18:12 [Scytale]
The problem you have with TRMs is that they're proprietary technology, right?
12:18:32 [juhae]
And of any use generally only with more popular tracks.
12:22:19 [Jetpack]
* Jetpack doesn'

any suggestions adding TXXX tags to MP3s in perl?
13:12:08 [enjayhch]
I have tried MP3::Tag and it replaces any other TXXX tags
13:12:18 [enjayhch]
id3v2 command line tool does the same
13:12:41 [ojnkpjg]
try eyeD3?
13:12:46 [ojnkpjg]
--set-user-text, i think
13:12:59 [ojnkpjg]
that's not perl, of course
13:13:02 [HairMetalAddict]
Use MP3::Tag to read any current TXXX tags, then rewrite them in at same time as adding the new one?
13:13:23 [enjayhch]
HairMetalAddict: I wanted to try avoiding doing that, but might give it a go
13:13:46 [HairMetalAddict]
I dunno. Just that if it's replacing current tags, that may be the only option.
13:13:52 [enjayhch]
will test eyed3 and see if it works - spawning another process isn't the end of the world
13:14:11 [HairMetalAddict]
I've only used MP3::Tag for reading...
13:14:14 [ojnkpjg]
it's --set-user-text-frame, btw
13:14:17 [ojnkpjg]
it ought to work
13:14:21 [enjayhch]
thanks
13:14:42 [ojnkpjg]

Though I still don't quite get what you mean. I have no idea whether this is a mix; I've not found a track "brakes on" by Air anywhere, and nothing on the cover says that it's a mix.
14:50:14 [ojnkpjg]
oh
14:50:27 [ojnkpjg]
ok, i thought it might be a mix that's not listed as such on the album notes
14:50:31 [ojnkpjg]
i don't own the cd, so i don't know
14:50:55 [ojnkpjg]
i think my girlfriend has that one

can i get opinions on this: http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=4174840
15:39:56 [HairMetalAddict]
My opinion on aliases like that is if the alias is actually used, it should stay. Otherwise it's a waste of space.
15:40:22 [HairMetalAddict]
There's similar aliases for artists like "Phil Lewis of L.A. Guns" because of P2Pers tagging things like that.
15:41:00 [HairMetalAddict]
In this case, noone's used any of the 4 aliases listed, so I don't see why they were added.
15:41:52 [HairMetalAddict]
Though I see you only just added 2 of them.

Bleh, I'd keep it. It's been used even though it shows 0. http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=3647768

17:12:27 [HairMetalAddict]
alternate
17:13:21 [HairMetalAddict]
Usually followed by "version", and "alternative version" sounds like a Soundgarden remix or something. ;-)
17:15:37 [Shepard]
mix in this case
17:15:48 [enjayhch]
ooh, yay, $info->{'_Data'} works, thanks HairMetalAddict
17:16:14 [HairMetalAddict]
Of course it works. It says right on my MB profile that I'm never wrong. ;-)
17:16:19 [HairMetalAddict]
hehehehehehehe
17:16:55 [enjayhch]
now I just need to work out how to write them
17:17:07 [HairMetalAddict]
That and the above code came from a script I used to create my website database of music.
17:17:53 [HairMetalAddict]
Er... Never wrote tags with a script, just read them. So can't help with that.
17:18:59 [enjayhch]
how did you get them there?
17:19:11 [HairMetalAddict]
MBTagger (via WINE)
17:19:27 [HairMetalAddict]
All 16,900 of them. :-P
17:19:33 [enjayhch]
:-P
17:19:39 [enjayhch]
well done!
17:20:25 [HairMetalAddict]
Yeah, I was wanting to shoot myself by the time I got them all done. Esp. since I had to add most of the albums to MB myself first... me and my obscure 80's hair metal bands...
17:20:53 [HairMetalAddict]
But on the other hand, it got me in the Top all-time moderators. ;-)
17:21:10 [ojnkpjg]
if you think 17000 is bad, try 50k
17:21:46 [ojnkpjg]
i was using mbtagger in vmware for a long time
17:21:49 [ojnkpjg]
which is a joy
17:21:54 [HairMetalAddict]
You tag 50,000 with Ye Olde MBTagger that only barely works with WINE first, then I'll try. ;-)
17:22:32 [HairMetalAddict]
* HairMetalAddict wonders if he can find 50,000 more 80's hair metal MP3s to tag. That would rule...!
17:22:36 [ojnkpjg]
hehe
17:22:45 [ojnkpjg]
i don't think i could get mbtagger running in wine
17:22:52 [ojnkpjg]
i forget what was wrong
17:23:04 [ojnkpjg]
would have been a hell of a lot better than vmware
17:23:05 [HairMetalAddict]
Well, I cheated with that. Crossover
17:23:08 [ojnkpjg]
oh
17:23:25 [HairMetalAddict]
Gotta install *shiver* IE first.
17:23:26 [ojnkpjg]
but, yeah, it is painful
17:24:23 [HairMetalAddict]
But I guess I do need IE too, to see how bad that monstrosity screws up my perfect standards-compliant sites. Grrr...
17:24:34 [ojnkpjg]

Mmm it's so satisfying and rewarding seeing changes you've done on MB reflect on last.fm hehehe :D
18:09:39 [HairMetalAddict]
Oooh, did my Artist Name Change from "Metallica" to "Money Hungry Bastards, Inc." show up on last.fm?
18:10:28 [Muz]
: P
18:11:02 [Muz]
Nah, I mean the artist links to external sites and albums and band member stuff, it makes the last.fm artist pages look nicer and more complete
18:11:15 [HairMetalAddict]
* HairMetalAddict watches a dozen people in the chat rush to the Metallica page on MB to see if I actually did that.
18:11:19 [Shepard]
*sigh* the thunderbird mail editor is such a crap when it comes to quoting
18:12:36 [nikki_]
* nikki_ loves her lovely quoted messages thanks to vim :)
18:14:11 [Shepard]
either it puts no empty lines between the quoted text and your own of one too much. and all because of these damn lines it shows instead of the actual quote chars
18:15:32 [Shepard]
you can turn those lines off with some tricky prefs (in a text file you have to create in your profile dir of course), but only for the mail viewer, not for the mail editor

hi yalaforge!
18:23:43 [yalaforge]
hey
18:24:39 [enjayhch]
anyone used Audio::TagLib before?
18:25:05 [yalaforge]
nope
18:25:06 [enjayhch]
it has a kind of weird C++ like API, but looks quite complete
18:27:34 [ojnkpjg]
does it do 2.4 and utf8?

ah

i'll have to check it out then :)

20:43:00 [inhouseuk]
ruaok: yes, sorry, it was probably uncalled for. I realise the potentially several thousand non-musicians to the DB could cause problems with the monitoring and misuse of them. However, it was frustrating to suddently get a 'no it is not being done' when I was actually doing some investigation into how the scope of those non-musicians can be limited and formulating possible solutions to...
20:43:01 [inhouseuk]
...prevent misuse of them. Obviously, allowing unlimited levels of family tree is impossible and I believe with some thought, plus a little code tweeking this can be prevented, whilst still allowing them to be added where there is a direct relationship.
20:45:41 [ruaok]
'tis ok, inhouseuk... we're two days into a new regime, so we're having to adjust.
20:46:03 [yalaforge]
* yalaforge grins
20:46:30 [ruaok]
the problem I see is that if we don't restrict it in any way, we can basically keep track of the geneology for all of human kind, which is certainly not the aim of this project.

20:53:33 [chocomo]
* chocomo falls down laughing
20:55:03 [inhouseuk]
ruaok: agreed! But it should be fairly easy to lock down, by restricting what can be done with a non-musician artist and ensuring when one is added it has a direct relationship to a musician. non-musician to non-musician relationships obviously need to be prevented (except in certain conditions where they both have a relationship with the same musician)

i do that if there are multiple releases and i know where it belongs to

same for multiple discogs releases

its not linked and official because it not optimized and not memcached.

21:55:05 [yalaforge]
memcached?
21:55:12 [inhouseuk]
oh, okay :)
21:56:27 [nikki_]
yeah
21:57:20 [yalaforge]
memcached is just set() and get(), basically
21:57:29 [yalaforge]
although the get() part doesn't always work :-)
21:58:36 [ruaok]
by design. :)
21:59:21 [yalaforge]
DB caches are too difficult for me. I won't touch them :-/
21:59:34 [HairMetalAddict]
get(some) if (exists $girlfriend);
22:00:51 [Shepard]
i guess perl would even accept this strange syntax
22:01:16 [yalaforge]
yeah. although 'some' would *usually* be a syntax error
22:01:31 [Shepard]
usually :)
22:01:33 [yalaforge]
unless you 'use constant', IIRC
22:01:45 [HairMetalAddict]
$* ;-)
22:02:06 [nikki_]
I love that syntax
22:02:35 [nikki_]
stinky hated it, so I would use it at every opportunity just to make him cringe at my code :D
22:03:02 [HairMetalAddict]
Heh, I use similar if-statements regularly
22:03:13 [nikki_]
* nikki_ too
22:03:21 [nikki_]
die unless is my favourite though
22:03:41 [HairMetalAddict]
Hehe
22:08:55 [inhouseuk]
nikki_: there is one problem using memcached on a replicated server. If something has changed, you might not always see the latest. Because replication applies changes directly to the DB, the cached value doesn't get updated.
22:09:20 [nikki_]
* nikki_ hasn't got memcached installed
22:09:31 [nikki_]
which is partly why I haven't bothered to learn how it works :)
22:09:44 [yalaforge]

we had a request for HTML bits to create a search box that people can use to search MB. Anyone want to create an HTML fragment that we can give people to include in their pages?
22:13:45 [yalaforge]
yeah, sounds like a nice idea
22:13:54 [chocomo]
like the external yahoo /google type search boxes peopel can put on their webpages?
22:13:57 [Shepard]
* Shepard has a html application search page for searching MB :D
22:14:16 [yalaforge]

22:17:46 [inhouseuk]
a lot slower than normal

with those 2 you've covered I think 99% of all telecom traffic
22:36:21 [teleGUISE]
it will be interesting to see how this pans out.. to see if it puts pressure on the big house for ordering it and as said 'letting the lawyers figure out what's legal and what's not'

and they've been caught!
22:42:07 [ojnkpjg]
i guess they were spying, then
22:42:10 [teleGUISE]
inhouseuk: of course... though i think the % is decreasing with our tolerance to accepting that 'excuse' for everything
22:44:01 [inhouseuk]
yes, the UK population is also going in that direction with some of the things the UK government is attempting to do as well

WTF`
22:55:36 [SenRepus]
but ruaok saw me answer someone when they asked me my computer specs and sent me 3 sticks of 256MB
22:55:40 [teleGUISE]
i sent it last week..
22:55:56 [SenRepus]
i havent been in to check yesterday or today
22:56:18 [teleGUISE]
well it better have gotten there I spent $4.20 on it :)
22:56:35 [SenRepus]
i was hoping you forgot to send it so you could save the shipping cost -_- i feel bad for you sending me some RAM and then ruaok sending me better RAM
22:56:49 [teleGUISE]
hey..hey... whats up with this better stuff :)
22:57:13 [teleGUISE]
good now you can send me a stick of 256
22:57:53 [teleGUISE]
so did you put it in??
22:58:12 [ojnkpjg]
i bet someone just happens to have 4 sticks of registered ecc 256mb dimms lying around they have no use for
22:58:13 [teleGUISE]
dont think anything over 512 will be noticeable on ME
22:59:07 [SenRepus]
his 256s havent arrived yet either
22:59:20 [teleGUISE]
hope he didnt send it priority mail!
22:59:30 [SenRepus]
this just happend like saturday night
22:59:46 [ojnkpjg]
oh, i need your address, too
22:59:49 [ojnkpjg]
to send that cd
22:59:56 [teleGUISE]
seems like I should have just spent the $.39 instead of the $4.05 well $4.20 cuz I stuck an extra $1 stamp on a $3.20 metered
23:00:24 [teleGUISE]
well his should have only took a day and mine 2.. so go to your damn mailbox!

23:02:52 [SenRepus]
but seriously tele, i checked every day last week with high hopes and it nevershowed
23:03:06 [SenRepus]
no i broke my mouse after our last chat
23:03:25 [SenRepus]
i took it apart to try to make it work better and actually did the opposite
23:03:45 [teleGUISE]
was it laser or old skool?
23:03:46 [inhouseuk]
poor mouse, you killed it :(
23:04:07 [SenRepus]
im old school
23:04:27 [teleGUISE]
how the heck can you kill an old skool 'moose' ?
23:04:45 [SenRepus]
well, when i was little i took apart a copy machine for some guy
23:04:53 [SenRepus]
and he payed me for all the switches i could find in it
23:05:07 [SenRepus]
so i figured that the switches in a mouse were just like the ones in that machine only smaller
23:05:09 [SenRepus]
but they werent
23:05:10 [ruaok]
teleGUISE: I still have a stick of 256 if you want it.
23:05:14 [teleGUISE]

23:06:27 [inhouseuk]

23:06:29 [SenRepus]
i was having problems with my left click, tele
23:06:55 [nikki_]
I hate ball mice, we have to use them at college and they're always so jerky
23:07:06 [SenRepus]
ive got about 7 mouse balls now from breaking mice... usually from voilent outbursts though, this one was just curiousity and stupidity
23:07:53 [teleGUISE]
ahh... so was I on my $4 mouse I mentioned a while back.... just for shits and giggles i popped the cap.. burnished the contact sprayed contact cleaner it and all is well... just to say my $4 laser mouse is still going after 2yrs now.. now I just have to weight it better so its more like a logitech
23:08:36 [chocomo]
mice that aren't heavy are weeird
23:08:54 [nikki_]
I'm on my third mouse, the first was a ball mouse which I hated, the second one was an intellimouse explorer which I eventually decided was too big for my hand and now I'm using some other ms mouse
23:08:57 [chocomo]
* chocomo wish he knew how to insert ram
23:09:06 [chocomo]

23:12:31 [chocomo]
old mice are cooler than new ones
23:12:31 [nikki_]
