I found tickets I like from google flights, but it says: call air canada.
2013-12-09 34336, 2013
ruaok
huh? one leg is code share on air canada.
2013-12-09 34349, 2013
ianmcorvidae
I guess the special price is only through them
2013-12-09 34357, 2013

weird for that to happen, I guess, but...

Ah I didn't see the topic.

I've not been able to convince any site to gimme that price.

I've got an exam at the same time the meeting starts so I might not make it back in time for that part of the dev chat

kepstin-work would probably fly to chicago via air canada; but the the flight would be a codeshare on united.

one of the MTG guys wants to know what our preferred means for reading MBIDs from a variety of digital audio files. (read: not just mp3)
2013-12-09 34324, 2013
ruaok
mutagen?
2013-12-09 34346, 2013
derwin
I would presume so
2013-12-09 34307, 2013
ianmcorvidae
I suppose it's as preferred as anything seeing as picard uses it
2013-12-09 34321, 2013
ianmcorvidae
I think it even recently got an id3v2.3 patch
2013-12-09 34353, 2013
ianmcorvidae
seems beets also uses mutagen (not really surprisingly, but, y'know)
2013-12-09 34302, 2013
derwin
yes, it does
2013-12-09 34329, 2013

Do we/MusicBrainz have a preferred way? Shouldn't all metadata libraries just be able to read MBID tags?
2013-12-09 34351, 2013
ianmcorvidae
Freso: I figure the notion was just "hey, what's your top recommendation"
2013-12-09 34324, 2013
Freso
Unless we code our own library (and I think we could spend our coding resources on better things...), I'm not sure it's good if we make an "official recommendation".
2013-12-09 34301, 2013
Freso
ianmcorvidae: Sure. Just thinking aloud.

would it help if it were a link to the blog instead of a list that you need to update manually?

the file in question has a list of all our servers, but some slacker wasn't updating it after making VMs to run various internal services *whistles innocently*

Part of me really feels for those employees. The other part of me hated overpriced beatport anyway
2013-12-09 34309, 2013
ruaok
oh, I thought you liked it
2013-12-09 34341, 2013

nope, never been a big fan of beatport. I like Bleep and Boomkat these days. I used to shop at Juno and Chemical Records/Red Eye Records
2013-12-09 34355, 2013

beatport is like the iTunes of electronic music

ok. /me prepares copy+paste.
2013-12-09 34325, 2013
rvedotrc
So, this mini update from me has been a long time coming because I couldn't decide what to say, if anything, or how to say it.
2013-12-09 34330, 2013
rvedotrc
And I can't say even now that I've /decided/... just more like, that I guess it's about time I said something.
2013-12-09 34337, 2013
rvedotrc
And this is where some of you are thinking, who the heck is rvedotrc and what are they talking about?
2013-12-09 34338, 2013
kepstin-work
rvedotrc: ah, didn't recognize the irc name. Rachel, right?
2013-12-09 34344, 2013
rvedotrc
Well, the thing is: I used to be djce (a name more familiar within MB), but a couple of months ago I changed by name, and with it, my gender, title, and irc nick.
2013-12-09 34350, 2013
rvedotrc
So, now my name is now Rachel
2013-12-09 34352, 2013
rvedotrc waves
2013-12-09 34358, 2013
rvedotrc
(Also, female pronouns please - "she", "her", and so forth).
2013-12-09 34304, 2013
rvedotrc
Some of you - particularly those that have met me in the last 18 months or - won't find this news surprising.
2013-12-09 34309, 2013
rvedotrc
But others probably didn't know, and I guess it helps to know, just for context.
2013-12-09 34315, 2013
rvedotrc
My friends, family and colleagues outside of MB have been great, supportive, lovely, and I'm sure you all will be too.
2013-12-09 34319, 2013
ruaok
hi Rachel!
2013-12-09 34320, 2013
rvedotrc
It's worth pointing out that I'm a lot happier and more confident, thanks for asking ;-)
2013-12-09 34326, 2013
rvedotrc
Nothing else changes... I'm still a former MB hacker, sometime MB sysadmin,
2013-12-09 34334, 2013
rvedotrc
and I'll still lurk in the channel, and I'll still pop up from time to time.
I appreciate you popping into make this announcement.
2013-12-09 34337, 2013
rvedotrc
long time lurker :-)
2013-12-09 34343, 2013
ruaok was unsure how to proceed with this.
2013-12-09 34349, 2013
rvedotrc
me too
2013-12-09 34354, 2013
rvedotrc
hence the delay.
2013-12-09 34357, 2013
ruaok
that said, anyone have any questions or comments for rvedotrc ?
2013-12-09 34324, 2013
ianmcorvidae
man, dunno if it even counts as being a lurker, you know far too much ;)
2013-12-09 34330, 2013
rvedotrc
Worth pointing out that login names, domains, etc. take a while to update
2013-12-09 34340, 2013
rvedotrc
so although my oldname is gone,
2013-12-09 34354, 2013
rvedotrc
it'll take a while for my old nick to fall out of use.
2013-12-09 34322, 2013
ianmcorvidae
anyway, good to be clear on pronouns and such, otherwise no questions/comments here
2013-12-09 34329, 2013

the decay of me going from acid2 to ocharles was tedious enough. i think you probably have a harder time :)
2013-12-09 34359, 2013
ianmcorvidae
(though we might introduce someone other than you to setting up openvpn keys/etc. at some point, given bitmap just started and presumably we'll want to add others in the future)
2013-12-09 34308, 2013
kepstin-work
ocharles: you should update your bio there too^ it still says acid2.

2013-12-09 34322, 2013

I think the trick is finding something on that page that *isn't* out of date
2013-12-09 34342, 2013
kepstin-work
hmm. as your mbz username; i don't think we support changing peoples usernames yet, eh.
2013-12-09 34300, 2013
kepstin-work
not that that would stop you ;)
2013-12-09 34302, 2013
ianmcorvidae
we do sometimes via UPDATE editor SET :)
2013-12-09 34319, 2013
