morning folks

Another early start ;)

I start work at 10:30am, but today is a Last.fm day and I had a meeting

so, another normal start :)

10.30 sounds quite nice

way too late for me.

hrm

I'm trying to work out how to add this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/wg4z

the url itself?

the CD attributes it to "Nostalgia 77 and the Monster"

no, the artist credit

warp: way too late for me too, it means I finish work between 6pm and 7pm

Nostalgia 77 is a person's name. that's fine

currently it's only attributed to Nostalgia 77 though: http://musicbrainz.org/release/9302c1d9-7688-4f...

I'm trying to work out who the monster is

is it a collaborator?

warp: can you try and cabal update && cabal install digestive-functors-aeson

could I just change the AC to "Nostalgia 77 and the Monster" without working out who the Monster is?

hmm, it's possible that the Monster is a pianist called Matthew Bourne

but that's only based on 1 line from the guardian review

Maybe "the monster" is how he calls the rest of the band?

Dunno

I think his band is http://musicbrainz.org/artist/60bb3593-99d4-438...

see. I need to hold some coverart in my hand :-P

ocharles: ExitFailure

boo

can has log please?

ocharles: https://gist.github.com/4160595

whaaaat

readMaybe is 7.6 only?!

hmm. the amazon mp3 has a pdf download

the back cover from amazon is useless. only has the track listing

Yeah, I saw that bit

alastairp: #musicbrainz!

I think https://twitter.com/MortButane is the pianist

warp: sigh :)

could always tweet him

Yep :p

Was going to suggest that

alastairp: thanks :)

warp: try again?

peligrosa como bomba de tiempo!

ocharles: yes, looks ok now.

wonderful

can someone re-transclude the new version of http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Artist/Name/Performa... (spelling correction)

done

thx

alastairp: Btw, may I ask why you've set instrument-as-entity for October instead of... March-April(?)?

Freso: wasn't it because for May he's to work on attributes? :)

reosarevok: any more hints on MBS-5513? I cannot reproduce it.

Hmm

Seems to work in the release I tried - maybe it was a temporary unstability?

ok, I'll close as cannot reproduce then.

Fine, if I start seeing it again I can reopen it :)

ianmcorvidae: do we have an ssl certificate for coverartarchive.org ?

warp: not to my knowledge

Freso: shouldn't have changed anything, no, what are you seeing?

ianmcorvidae: ok, MBS-5490 assigned to rob.

ianmcorvidae: Nothing, apparently. :) I was just impatient with the replication.

ianmcorvidae: OTHER-17: Add a LATEST file whose contents are the latest update + \n

Freso: good question. a mistake, likely

alastairp: :)

alastairp: Not that I want to overwork you, but if we can get it half a year earlier, that'd be great. ;)

does that mean october last month?

I found an awesome interactive ipython plugin for vim today. I'm going to try it

wait - that's the wrong channel

:p

IPython is nifty.

Is "NULL" used in Perl?

in what context?

in general you'd use undef

And if not, what's the equivalent?

So, foo('bar', undef, 'eggs')?

yeah

of course in that case it may just be that positional arguments are the wrong way to go, but :P

(not that the way of doing named arguments is straightforwardly obvious or anything)

Well, it didn't cause rika to explode... but it didn't result in what I wanted to do either.

How can I do named arguments? Namely, I need to pass arguments to a TT macro.

oh, TT macros aren't perl :P

you just need to pass undef as a positional arg there :P

They have their own logic language?

as far as I know

well, you don't manually initialize the arguments like you do in perl :)

Okay. Well, it still didn't work.

With undef.

you should probably clarify what you're trying to do here then

Or... try one other thing.

What is "TT" again?

(anyway, in a perl function, you normally do a "my ($self, $blah, $whatever) = @_"; for named args you do "my ($positional1, $positional2, %hash_of_named) = @_"

template toolkit

http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/manual/ is the docs

if that's what you were looking for

Is "variable == undef" a valid test?

I guess I'll find out...

if (defined $variable) perhaps

oh, inside a template?

Freso: http://template-toolkit.org/docs/manual/VMethod...

yeah

Would "foo.defined ? bar : foo;" work, I wonder...
