Ohayo gozaimas!

icepick-away is now known as icepick

'sup?

new tagger RFE, have the tagger's watch folder recurse into subdirectories. :)

how goes, ruaok? still in .jp?

hai!

excellent :)

learning your japanese too, i see :)

what little I know I learned from anime

heheh.

I didn't learn much. I had chaperones pretty much the entire time.

thats handy

The street addresses are completely crazy here.

but people like it when you at least make an effort to learn their language. even if you fail miserably, they appreciate that you cared enough to try

You can't hand someone and adress and tell them to meet you there.

how do they work?

You pretty much need to lay out the path they need to take.

lang: of course. I know the very basics...

yikes, and in a big city like tokyo, that must be insane

ding.

is that where you are, tokyo?

there are city 'blocks' and then there are subblocks and then they have buildings.

So, an address goes like this:

2-4-5 Akasaka Mira-ku, Tokyo, Japan

Block 2, sub block 4, house 5. in Akasaka, Tokyo.

Yeah, I'm in Tokyo.

geeez, thats a serious piece of address

thansk for the RFE

no problem ;)

soulseek downloads with subdirectories automatically, so its foiling my watch folder usage :P

The company I visited yesterday was at:

8F inoaoka-Blgd 2-36-4 Kanda Jibo-cho Chiyoda-ku Tokyo

If someone said, meet me there, I would say: what are the GPS coords?

lol

gimme the ICBM address :D

things are quiet on the MB front. I better come home and stir up some shit.

hehe

things are quite all over, AS is pretty chill too

or write some code.

though there was a flurry of activity on the mailing list today

I've got some TP code written on the plane.

cool

Maybe I can finish more work on the plane tomororw.

how long is the flight?

Going home should be 9.5. was 10.75 coming here

On the flight over, I slept 4 hours, watched a movie for 2 and hacked for 3.

Perfect flight if you ask me.

yeah, pretty good time distribution

so tokyo hasn't been attacked by any crazy monsters recently?

or been taken over by a computer that came alive?

or been shifted into an alternate universe as a result of a thousand year old prophecy coming to fruition?

cause i think that would probably put a damper on my vacation.

There is a monster climbing up the next tower over, but they say that it attacks only one building per week, so we should be safe.

nice

The first morning was nice -- from the 40th floor restaurant we had a clear view of Mt. Fuji.

wow

sounds amazing :)

oh ruaok, i wanted to ask you something...

..

oh yeah yeah, is there a way to list musicbrainz as the referrer for emusic?

like, were I to sign up, is there a way MB could get a kickback for refering me?

yes.

can you enter a RFE? :-)

sure

what for?

rdf output with a depth of 6 takes a whiel

I have already signed up with EMusic for that sort of thing.

1.2 Mb for U2 at depth 6 :)

I just haven't put the links on the page.

icepick: as much as I like the depth stuff and as cool as it is from a semantic web perspective, its just a bandwidth hog.

ok, well, let us know when you do that, i've been thinking of signing up with emusic (might wait till they up their bitrate), but since you referred me, MB should get a piece of the pie. :)

what RFE did you need submitted?

to put the emus referral links up.

ok, i see

will do :)

rfes and bugs are a good way to get me to do something.

hehe

ok

RFE: Wash my car.

actually, wash my scooter. it rained the other day so i got a nice 'skunk stripe' up my back and on the rear of the scooter from the muddy spray :P

i hate that...

yeah, it looks goofy

the worst is the spray that gets on the helmet visor, because i have to be careful getting it off so it doesn't scratch it up :(

and the road grime makes my exhaust rust around the edges

the weather today was wonderful though

ruaok: are you running gzip encoding?

mod_gzip is holy mana

assuming bandwidth is more of a problem than cpu cycles

oh... wait.. mb.org is still on apache 1

233k

gziped

better that 50% !

even a modest gzip can work wonders on text

mb is apache1 and 2

the front proxy for static content is 2 and the perl backend is 1

well... with 2 you can chain the mods... 1 couldn't do that ... so mod_perl or mod_php had to do the gzip themselves

17329 triples

with php, you can use ob_gzhandler to do the gzipping

yikes

not quite as elegant though

used rdflib (a python lib) to eat the info and then split a rdf back out... it's 1.6 mb

eikeon's python lib in fact

anyone known the .jp pictograms for USA?

no

I'm sure the post office will know what USA means. :)

hopefully

;)

=]

ahoy, verus

hi

Still in jp?

i heard ruaok was joining the yakuza, which is why he went to japan.

it was for his initiation.

soon MB will be getting lots and lots of funding, but if any of us talk about it, our throats will be slit in the dead of night by ninjas.

too late for you then

oh crap

:)

Yup. Until tomorrow.

ninjas dont scare me

Then I leave .jp at 4pm on the 13th and I arrive at 7am on the 13th. Gotta love the int. dateline

I had dinner with a buncha ninjas last night.

Check my blog. :-)

when are you going to switch to MT, ruaok? Or something with an RSS feed.. i don't read blogs any more, netnewswire reads them for me :)

have you had some nice personal time to look around tokyo, ruaok? I've always dreamed of going there

I'm switching to MT on monday.

I've totally outgrown blogger -- especially with my new camera.

Doood -- the camera is TITS.

Shirt pocket 3.2 megapixel SD camera.

what brand?

i like tits

I'm finishing up my postcards and then I will go and check out Harajuku -- a place with lots of interesting yound people.

er, tits cameras ;)

Casio EX-S3. I don't think you can get it in .us

The irony kills me. :-)

ohhhh, i heard about the ex-s3

i would kill a man for one of those.

er, don't worry, i won't kill you.

for $313 I can bring you one.
