I’ve come to this weird realisation that I understand catalan better than andalusian spanish
2015-09-14 25743, 2015

I think I am the other way around. Odd.
2015-09-14 25712, 2015

But I haven't been down there recently, so I can't say that about my spanish knowledge today.

I’m thinking more about artist string->many ids in messybrainz, and how we could do it
2015-09-14 25733, 2015
alastairp
currently for recordings we have a concept of a cluster (many messybrainz submissions), and each cluster can be assigned 1 recording mbid
2015-09-14 25758, 2015
darwin
wtf is messybrainz?
2015-09-14 25716, 2015
alastairp
it would be easy to extend this to allow many ids to be assigned to an artist cluster, though we may loose ordering (do we need a sequence?)
2015-09-14 25756, 2015
alastairp
darwin: it’s a supporting component of listenbrainz - basically a string -> id mapper, which can then be mapped to real mbids
2015-09-14 25715, 2015
ruaok
darwin: :)
2015-09-14 25716, 2015
alastairp
since people may not have mbid tags in files (or services may not support it - spotify, etc)
2015-09-14 25750, 2015
darwin
gotcha.
2015-09-14 25701, 2015
darwin
yeah, basically that kind of service is frequently needed
2015-09-14 25739, 2015

no

ugh, I can't find it right now

he's been slacking.

alastairp and I have been working on messybrainz and listenbrainz, trying to get it working and reasonable stable for some sort of launch on thursday.
2015-09-14 25740, 2015

alastairp and I are giving the closing session presentation, talking about listenbrainz and a wee bit about messybrainz.

I've conscripted Gentlecat a little this week to help on the listenbrainz front as well, but he can tell you about that.

bitmap wants to write something to import itunes playcounts already
2015-09-14 25712, 2015

between listenbrainz work, some sysadmin stuff, I've been doing a lot trying to whip ourselves into shape.
2015-09-14 25724, 2015

I met up with Freso at Christianaia for an afternoon last week.
2015-09-14 25735, 2015
ruaok
that was fun -- good to catch up in a great environment.
2015-09-14 25737, 2015
Freso
ruaok: Are you calling yourselves fat?
2015-09-14 25754, 2015

sadly, yea. All that beer in belgium. :(
2015-09-14 25712, 2015

Freso made me realize that I need more help and that I have too many tasks on my plate.
2015-09-14 25714, 2015
Freso
I really miss the weather from that day. It's only been going down hill every single day since.
2015-09-14 25734, 2015
ruaok
and that I need to stop what I am doing and focus on getting help both on the sysadmin front and on the biz dev front.
2015-09-14 25750, 2015
ruaok
and on his prodding I realized that some things had recently changed that allowed some new doors to open.
2015-09-14 25704, 2015

2015-09-14 25704, 2015
ruaok is being intentionally vague.
2015-09-14 25720, 2015
ruaok
but, the most immediate exciting thing at hand is that zas is looking for a part time sysadmin position.
2015-09-14 25729, 2015
Freso

2015-09-14 25735, 2015

and I've asked around what people think of him who have worked with him and the feedback was good.
2015-09-14 25704, 2015
ruaok
we've basically settled the rough details on how we wish to proceed and I now need to get board approval to hire him.
2015-09-14 25714, 2015
ruaok is really stoked about this.
2015-09-14 25719, 2015

awesome
2015-09-14 25738, 2015

next, a friend of mine here in barcelona... some of you have met this person might become available soon.

Sysadmin? Yay!
2015-09-14 25709, 2015

this person would make a really great addition to the team to help me deal with new customers and bringing more money into the organization.

reosarevok
LordSputnik: yup
2015-09-14 25744, 2015

dealing with customers off the new metabrainz site is considerably more work than I have time for, so getting help on this front is really needed.
2015-09-14 25745, 2015

you mean the guy nikki hates ? yes ;)
2015-09-14 25759, 2015

this is again something I need board approval for, so right now I am tracking down all the financial details of the past year and expected expenses for the next year.
2015-09-14 25759, 2015
ruaok
to build a case that the board can swallow and that will not get us into trouble.
2015-09-14 25713, 2015

hopefully I will have more to report on all that next week.

ruaok: I would say invite them to lunch, but knowing where you like to eat nowadays, I don't think that'd leave the MeB finances in a position to hire more people :D

my week involved a lot of travel planning, so it was less productive than I would've liked

2015-09-14 25749, 2015

I did a server release on tuesday, a day late 'cause I wanted to investigate caa uploading issues people were having
2015-09-14 25742, 2015
bitmap
only ~25% of uploads were going through, or something, and it wasn't a problem on the IA's side
2015-09-14 25725, 2015
bitmap
it seems that the upgrade to perl 5.18 affected the signature calculation, since hash keys are returned in a random order
2015-09-14 25753, 2015
bitmap
and we had code that expected them not to be, for some reason :)
2015-09-14 25704, 2015
bitmap
so that took all day to debug, but got fixed
2015-09-14 25704, 2015

I see that you spent very little time on the google stuff.
2015-09-14 25724, 2015
ruaok
I'd really like to move that to the top of the priority list.
2015-09-14 25743, 2015
bitmap
yeah, that got pushed back for the last couple weeks, but I've started on it again yesterday
2015-09-14 25751, 2015
ruaok
I'm now planning on earmarking that contract money to hire this other person, so we really need to get it finished.
2015-09-14 25702, 2015
bitmap
ok, I'll make that a top priority
2015-09-14 25704, 2015
ruaok
ok good. :)
2015-09-14 25714, 2015
ruaok
I think we'll all feel much better then that is finally done. :)
2015-09-14 25747, 2015
ruaok
anything else?
2015-09-14 25747, 2015
bitmap
anyway, when I was done planning travel stuff, I worked on MBS-8534 and a few smaller things, that's about it
So, some weirdo came to Copenhagen and I met up with them at Freetown Christiania and talked about stuff. This was good and I felt it was rather productive, and I think that they did too.
2015-09-14 25729, 2015

Other than that, last week was mostly community service stuff + finishing off a Cousera music theory course as well as some outstanding things I needed to get done for my dance classes, both of which I've been slacking on the previous weeks.
