meh, accounting.

Quesito: you're starting to sound like ruaok

you know when something really intricate is really exciting to dig into and figure out? yeah...accounting isn't one of those things...lol. :P

alastairp: I'll be happy to give you a basic accounting lesson tomorrow. :)

and show you the craptastic interface that is QB.

alastairp: it's really *LOVELY* software...do give it a spin!

ok, now you do sound like me, Quesito. :)

woo. time for some fifth's this evening.

and for once it won't a fifth of vodka or a fifth of rum.

Mahler and Beethoven!!

hi

who's our jira admin?

Freso: ?

I'm one of them, yeah.

Oh, didn't see your spam notice. I'll check it out.

thanks!

alastairp: Looks like BookBrainz at least was also hit.

And PW.

jira spam?

Yes.

we've been getting DMCA take down notices for pirate spam in collections.

we will need to address that route of spam very soon.

Yep.

the easiest I can think of is us not showing collections unless the user is logged in.

or, we put collections back into robots.txt

Sounds good to me. Should we just do it, or do you want to put it on agenda on Monday?

but we need to do something.

not sure, I've been quite pissy on this topic. every time I suggest something I get push back with no other options put on the table. I'd rather not deal with it and hand this to someone else.

Alright. I can try and get something moving.

great, thanks.

I've removed one Jira spam user from having access to JIRA, so they won't be able to do anything else with that account... But I'm wondering if I should stick to that, or fully delete the user(s)?

fully delete

there were a few users spamming

I can't believe spam isn't solved yet.

Bill gates promised some 10 years ago that it would be long fixed by now.

alastairp: Two spammers AFAICT.

I'm currently deleting the second one's.

email, sure

(It's a bit slow going since Jira asks me to confirm that I want to use my administrative powers on every other step...)

that's basically fixed

Okay, all spam issues should be gone now.

🙌

+1 for collctions on robots and/or not showing unless logged in (seems logicla to me, they're meant as a kind of personal thing anyway)

infact, why are they even indexed by the likes of google, I'm not sure I'd even want that for my colelctions

yeah, something seems amiss.

(even public ones (which I keep public because it's like "the things I own /want" or "this is whats in the deicmnaske bibliotek))

Freso: the board meeting is on your radar, yes?

I didn't see you accept the invitation for the call yet.

ruaok: Oh, it is, yes. I'm going to go to the office soon, since my connection here is horrible.

There's still 2 hours, right?

yes.

Alright, good.

just welcomed a new supporter! woot!

wooo!

\o.

whoops \o/

🙌

!m Quesito

You're doing good work, Quesito!

thanks! it's no prancing unicorn--but every little bit helps! :)

ohhh, prancing unicorn.

we need to give our double and extra mythical triple unicorns funny names.

unicorn, prancing unicorn and sparkly unicorn?

efervescente unicorn? too much? :P

pooping rainbows?

Mmm.

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbYWhdLO43Q )

yes, they were part of the first batch.

I forget when. a looong time ago.

Freso that was quite educational....lol.

we should have some sort of timeline set up in a neat graphical way

Quesito: ^^

a "historical music(meta)brainz" thing

CatQuest: is that a request for a Gantt???

no idea I don't remembe what gantt is realy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Quesito: Apparently the #PrinceOfPoop is going to be in Barcelona soon, according to his Facebook page. :p

ew, ppop

eh that was atypo, but. that is a fine fraudian :)

:)

Quesito: that doesnt look liek what I remembered fro mthe last thing. those don't look that bad??

wowsers Freso.....we might need to visit him....(ice cream involved?)

Quesito: Ikr. :p

CatQuest: they arent that bad! :) just a timeline! (the software-Gantt--is horrible though)

(I mean, any excuse for getting ice cream involved.)

hah

I was thinking something like a seriously slick thing with a line years, with sort of dots when something interesting happened, and when yo ucliked it, there would be a blurb showing u palsl fancy like with a gradiant effect that explained what happened then. a time line and maybe together with a graph with how many users,/releases/new features (but simplified maybe)

and then a timeline with important things and situations like old issues and things.

Hi, all. Should I be able to log in @ test.mb.o? When I click the "Log in" link I get "Forbidden Request. Sorry, you are unable to perform that action on a mirror server. "

and tying into it the "historical wikipages" type things and to clean those up and preserve thme but also write a "why was this happening" thing in the background

oh test.mb.org is up now? it was down last i checked :O

Quesito: with gradients and graphporn and stuff that makes all the "new fancy stuff visuals" fans drool :D

but also like so I can just "when did so and such get introduced" and it would jsut say there

wasn't ARs released together with NGS? or was that earlier.. it was earlier

I like it CatQuest! we have a bit of that on the stats page, no? just perhaps a bit more fancy-fied?

CallerNo6: you are Forbidden!!! just kidding....:P

well I was thinking mostly the "in what order and when did features get added + situiations in the mb community"

like the SG5 debakle

and that Great Debate

stuff like "when did kuno/warp rewrite the release editor"

"when was the relationship editor written"

"when did edit notes actually send emails" (it used t onot)

i mena i'll hlep asmuch as possible with details and research but

we should ave our history

right on, do we have this data anywhere or would it need to be compiled?

compiled

soem stuff shoudl be in the wiki

the old mailinglist arhives shoudl also been helpsfull.. maybe nabble

hmmm....ok...will you make an ORG ticket for me and I'll kick off the compiling?

older users, like me, kuno, donredman etc

hmm i'll put it on my todo lsit!

the compiling might take a while, so if we get started....eventually we could make something pretty :)

cool!

exactly!

but for now pls help CallerNo6 's issue as it's soemthing I need too :D

Sorry CatQuest and CallerNo6 can't help you out with this issue....out of my wheelhouse....:(
