bonjour ruaok

bonjour warp.

how are things doing in MB land?

I met with the lead of VLC yesterday. that was quite interesting.

Ponies and sunshine and myspace and glitter!!

He called gracenote to get a quote how much it would cost to get acoustic fingerprinting from them.

wow, good. that sounds useful :)

heh, what dit gc say?

€100k setup fee. €500k annually.

vlc's budget is $10k annually.

lol

we had a really good laugh at that.

:)

I've learned a ton of other things this week too.

I also met with some archos engineers who are considering using MB.

cool

their new tablet product line looks amazing.

I want a 10.1i tablet. very nice.

and I had a very nice dinner/drinks with panda. he's still an awesome guy.

ruaok: when are you flying back/

?

tomorrow morning.

but, only to DC.

is there something you need in the meantime?

no, just being curious :)

ah, ok.

I'm ready to be home.

yesterday I was going to the bathroom in the lebanese restaurant.

and as I walk walking, I totally lost track of where I was.

haha

I was talking to apache people from all over europe, so I was totally confused.

I had to stop and listen to people to realize I was in paris.

very very odd.

a sign that its time to stop traveling. :)

but there are two people here who travel much much more than I.

yep, that sounds like being away from home just a bit too long

yeah.

and i'm thinking, I need a vacation... but that would be... travel.

and I can't do staycations. that doesn't work.

for me, a vacation is just being home coding on stuff _I_ want to code.

I think I want to go hiking in some mountains somewhere.

disconnect

excercise, mother nature.

yeah.

Hi ruaok, just travel far enough that you have to sta over

hi ijabz

makes sense. I can see why people would want to do that. I'm not ready for it :)

was meant to camping this weekend, but its pissing down

ijabz: :(

my friend has a cabin in the sierra nevadas.

Maybe go there for a week and hope for snow.

read books.

That sounds nice, I need friends like tthat

oh ruaok I assigned http://jira.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-932 to you

feh.

the network is getting bogged down again as sessions are starting up again.

I'll have to look at that bug later.

its something we discussed before, that I think needs doing

ok.

Im gonna try and clear my musicbrainz bugs next week

I'm going to be talking about MB between 15h-16h. if you care, I think the open world forum sessions are being webcast.

ok, I'm off!

one minute there, one minute gone I guess he means http://www.openworldforum.org/

yes

don't see any webcasts though

no, i couldnt see them either

right , gonna do some Musicbrainz testing, see if I can find some work for Oliie

:D

I have ~50k files for his old team to work with :D

brianfreud: just curious, how many MBID-tagged files do you have?

Hey…is the documentation at http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Release_Script going to be updated to reflect the new release scripts when NGS comes out?

new?

Hmm, I guess just updated, period.

it hasn't been changed

The script data comes from ISO 15924, with the exception that the code Hkrt, "(alias for Hiragana + Katakana)" has been renamed to "Kanji & Kana" as Japanese is often a mix of kanji, hiragana and katakana and there's no single script code to cover this.

That’s not correct, is it?

hm. that was changed ages ago

Since code “Jpan” does exist to cover it.

I’ve updated the wiki page now, but the doc page is obviously still wrong.

(Sorry, thought it was a NGS change, didn’t notice that “Kanji & Kana” didn’t exist any more in the old schema either)

heh, it's been like that nearly 2 years and you're the first person I've seen to point it out

:-D

Shows how much people read our documentation.

luks: Roughly 465k

Why is there direct search distinct from normal search?

And is there some reason that direct search doesn’t ignore spaces, while normal search does?

direct search goes directly to the database, which is completely up to date

normal search has an index to speed up search times, but it's only updated periodicly (once a day?)

so you won't get newly entered stuff

It's much more frequent than that. Every 6 hours I think.

that makes more sense

So, no way to make direct search ignore spaces like the indexed search does?

what are you searching for?

Nothing, just seems strange/unfortunate that it’s necessary to add a bunch of aliases to deal with japanese names.

ijabz: does the search server have special handling for cjk stuff?

Anyone have any idea in a gnome regexp how to negate the pattern correctly? ie, to negate .*ogg|.*flac|.*mp3 ?

what's a gnome regex?

Anything gnome, but in this case, a regexp filter w/in gnome-search-tool

trying to clean out my dump dir, and looking for anything that isn't one of those file types

Why not move everything that does match that regex into a separate folder and then do away with everything that's left?

messier :P

I'm trying to see what all even is there that may be true junk, rather than image/pdf/rdf/doc/etc associated with those music files

find somedir/ -type f -not -iregex '.*\.\(ogg\|flac\|mp3\)' or something

nikki:yes it does , but Im not too au fait what this handling is
