ruaok: check came in, so at least the mail's fairly fast; I'll try to go deposit it tomorrow to see what delay there is on the money being available

great

ruaok: FYI, plaintext's work isn't in the schema change branch; I'm going to test it a bit separately to see about including it (at the very least the schema change scripts)

ok, thanks.

seems the imgration from yesterday is *still* running.

heh

also, meh, keeping around five databases is a pain :) it'll be nice to drop all these schema change ones

ianmcorvidae: yes.

that is included in the master testing.

k, cool

multi-channel communication :)

I just noted that.

we just need to get the damn scripts to finish in non np-complete time. :)

heh

you might want to comment out not-null-comments.sql

I think I might, yeah

and re: replication, I guess we should make some changes to tables that are changing so they end up in the packet, and then try to import that replication packet on a separately-migrated slave instance?

yep.

I will setup a master and a slave.

and then generate and apply a handul of packets.

cool

and I will also do a complete data dump and reimport.

gah. brain is fried. time for a break.

I was going to work up a contract, but the thought of loading word now is killing me.

I guess fried-brain doesn't make vim+LaTeX a better option :P

lol, no.

our potential customers would be?. flummoxxed.:)

k

feh

heh, I guess he left, I was just figuring he gave people contracts in paper or PDF

ruaok: got my remaining plane ticket, so that's all squared away now :)

excellent. :)

huh, http://www.igvita.com/slides/2012/devtools-tips... is pretty cool

ianmcorvidae: MBS-5264: javascript formatTrackLength was adding 0.5 rather than 500 to the duration, so sub-second changes were rounding incorrectly

ianmcorvidae: I've been dying to make it to velocity. it never happens. :(

I save $90 by having someone driving me to Buffalo (1.5h), taking amtrak to NYC (8h) and taking a flight from there instead of from Toronto

Doesn't seem worth it. But on the plus side I'd get to spend 6 hours in Geneva

heh

6 hours is enough to see geneva too.

there trains out of the airport and to the central startion every 2-3 minutes.

you could totally bug out and cruise geneva for an hour and really pound some chocolate.

the supermarket with the cheap good chocolate is just out side the station.

heh, always about the chocolate with you :)

and two other things, ya. :)

shit, I'm not even eating chocolate right now.

Leaving from NYC (well, Newark) gives me lots of layover options and they're all cheaper than flying from Toronto even with the $60 amtrak ticket

THere's one flight that stops in both Geneva and Zurich

lame.

swiss?

heh, I'm flying through newark

I'm flying swiss on the way there.

SFO > ZRH > BCN

Given the context of this conversation, those three codes make sense.

Try YYZ on for size ;)

ya, airport codes in canuckistan make no sense.

who thought that shit up?

sounds like there is a migros at ZRH. :)

yep.

hopefully I can get to it and pick up super yummy chocolate.

navap: yep, and that is the crappy stuff. :)

I can tell. There's no way a chocolate named "Tourist" can be good haha

it is awful.

eww

I tasted a chocolate filled candy cane today. Aweful combination of flavours

right. so lets brainstorm.

who can we hit up for money.

I've hit google, last.fm, IA.

mxm is out.

grooveshark gave $500. I can try that again.

triworks? I don't know if they're actual clients yet

but they're closer physically to the summit than others

How is it going with musixmatch? I haven't heard them mentioned in ages

I hit triworks pretty hard, yes.

spotify?

warp: good!

I can try pimping us out at SFMT

aol, somethin else, and spotify are on my hitlist for tomorrow.

well, somethin else has already been pestered actually.

and grooveshark

ruaok: all the major record labels! :)

ya, they have cash floating around. :)

aol.com links to us quite a bit

They have more links to us than the BBC does, although the BBC links to a wider selection of entities

Have we had any contact with 8tracks.com or beardscratchers.com?

yes.

beardscratchers is just a dude in SF. rod begbie. good chap.

8tracks, yes. I really need to pester them to pay us some money.

Most of the sites doing major linking to us seem to be non-commercial

navap: maybe we can put together the MB showcase while were in BCN.

I want to find out who to shake down. :)

:)

or even simpler: out of the list of sites that link to us, how many are commercial that are no already our customers?

amazon?

and I'm hoping to get some more uptake after SFMT and announcing the CAA

on my list, but last year I didn't get very far.

(well, they don't link to us, but they consistently score high in google for database entries from musicbrainz which they don't sell)

heh.

hm.

I need to visit them in seattle.

next time i'm in PDX>

maybe in dec.

Webmaster tools just helped me find a bug with our chrome frame :)

Is there anyone else who should have access to the webmaster tools or analytics?

navap: me! in december or so. but I should already have access.

Yeah I thought you did

I don't know that I need access, I always like having access to yet-more data sources though

(it's like I'm an MB editor :P)

Speaking of which, why aren't you an auto-editor yet?

because nobody's bothered to nominate me :P

periodically nikki and reosarevok are surprised to re-learn that I'm still not one :P

Do you want to be an auto-editor?

(erm, it's a bit late considering I already clicked the button..)

oh, heh

So hopefully you say yes

I don't know how much I'll use it, but I wouldn't mind having that option

especially for things like data cleanup for dev purposes :)

ianmcorvidae: once you have it, you'll use it all the time.

:)

heh

these votes aren't very private when I can see the totals :P

s/totals/totals at any time/

just seeing the totals is not in itself a problem. but because it is real time you can make a note of the totals after every vote.

not that they're very private when you have root on the database server anyway

Take a screenshot every minute for two weeks, compile it into a video and then play spot the differences

haha

if you have root you don't need this whole voting stuff anyway. autoeditor is an UPDATE away.

well, of course

or, of course, who needs the web interface at all

do all edits from the SQL shell ;)

yeah, none of this edit queue nonsense.

There's a (un)fun MB game to play. Who can accurately add a complete release using just pure SQL
