hi
2004-02-06 03751, 2004
ruaok
hey
2004-02-06 03701, 2004
ruaok
how is the roomie and cat??
2004-02-06 03701, 2004
melange
oh, they're fine
2004-02-06 03712, 2004
melange
my housemate has been committed, again
2004-02-06 03718, 2004
melange
but that's probably a good thing
2004-02-06 03724, 2004
melange
cat's doing well
2004-02-06 03731, 2004
ruaok
good about the cat.
2004-02-06 03737, 2004
ruaok
not so good about the roomie?
2004-02-06 03740, 2004
ruaok
She depressed?
2004-02-06 03745, 2004
melange
very.
2004-02-06 03751, 2004
ruaok
no bueno.
2004-02-06 03702, 2004
ruaok
over here people pop all sorts of pills for that.
2004-02-06 03712, 2004
melange
she's diagnosed full clinical depression, has been like that for a while .. had it on and off since her teens
2004-02-06 03712, 2004
ruaok
how is the mindset in .au?
2004-02-06 03741, 2004
melange
much the same, trying out different drugs. Also ECT, possibly.
2004-02-06 03718, 2004
melange
we tend to favour counselling over drugs, but it depends on the illness and the psych
2004-02-06 03742, 2004
ruaok
good.
2004-02-06 03747, 2004
ruaok
here is the opposite.
2004-02-06 03751, 2004
melange
as she's been diagnosed with a serious brain dysfunction, counselling isn't really going to do much.
2004-02-06 03740, 2004

2004-02-06 03754, 2004
ruaok
ugh brain dysfunction -- sounds nasty
2004-02-06 03756, 2004
melange
well, that basically just means that her brain produces the wrong chemicals, and so she feels extremely depressed all the time, although she is quite able to intellectually know that there's nothing wrong
2004-02-06 03706, 2004
melange
true "clinical" depression
2004-02-06 03727, 2004
melange
no trigger, nothing particularly wrong in her life .. :-/
2004-02-06 03734, 2004
melange
just down all the time
2004-02-06 03744, 2004
ruaok
is she taking meds now?
2004-02-06 03703, 2004
melange
yeah, they've been trying a few different ones. haven't been helping much
2004-02-06 03717, 2004
ruaok
finding the right one is the key. And that is challenging.
2004-02-06 03729, 2004
melange
it's generally a matter of trying different types until they get the right one
2004-02-06 03732, 2004
melange
yep
2004-02-06 03702, 2004
melange
I'm not sure there's much to say about it, but how are your friends in Germany doing?
2004-02-06 03733, 2004
ruaok
coping.
2004-02-06 03738, 2004
ruaok
not much else to be done.
2004-02-06 03756, 2004
ruaok
waiting for the cops to get their heads out of their asses so they can get the goodbye letter..
2004-02-06 03719, 2004
melange
hmm, that's rough
2004-02-06 03700, 2004
melange
did you get the ok for the amazon thing?
2004-02-06 03710, 2004
ruaok
no.
2004-02-06 03727, 2004
ruaok
they are bugging their lawyers to get the final answer by next friday.
2004-02-06 03738, 2004
melange
ok
2004-02-06 03739, 2004
ruaok
That's why the release is sched for the day after vday.
2004-02-06 03703, 2004
ruaok
If they get a no back from the lawyers then CCCP is in for some big changes.
2004-02-06 03712, 2004
ruaok
I don't think anyone wants to see that.
2004-02-06 03701, 2004
melange
as far as I'm concerned, "not for profit" simply means that. It doesn't mean you can't make money, it just means that you aren't aiming to turn a profit.
2004-02-06 03730, 2004
melange
if not-for-profits can't earn money, then it makes things a bit difficult, eh
2004-02-06 03746, 2004
ruaok
I'm with you.
2004-02-06 03758, 2004
ruaok
And I think everyone else is -- including the IRS.
2004-02-06 03721, 2004
ruaok
Q is whether or not they will get into trouble with Hurricane Electric.
2004-02-06 03721, 2004
melange
I mean, my old job was doing tech support/systems admin for a non-for-profit ISP
2004-02-06 03733, 2004
ruaok
wow -- really?
2004-02-06 03737, 2004
ruaok
small world.
2004-02-06 03701, 2004
melange
the ISP side made money, which in turn pumped the money into the community sector, which was the primary focus for the business
2004-02-06 03731, 2004
ruaok
good.
2004-02-06 03737, 2004
ruaok
that's all I want to do.
2004-02-06 03741, 2004
melange
so, at least in Australia, it's perfectly fine for a not-for-profit company to make money
2004-02-06 03749, 2004
ruaok
it is here as well.
2004-02-06 03707, 2004
melange
damn. I've got about 20+ mods I need to clarify. They aren't getting votes.
2004-02-06 03701, 2004
ruaok
lemme look.
2004-02-06 03712, 2004
melange
meh, and some are just inconsistent. that's what I get for fixing up almost every release by one artist in one sitting
2004-02-06 03707, 2004

2004-02-06 03719, 2004

I should have done this before : my housemate has 9 or so albums by Front 242, I can double check the listings against the discographies and against MB now
2004-02-06 03731, 2004
ruaok
:-)
2004-02-06 03735, 2004
melange
combined with what I own as well, I can cover most of the releases
2004-02-06 03726, 2004
melange
what's your opinion on releases that are re-released and the song titles are slightly changed?
2004-02-06 03701, 2004
ruaok
ugh.
2004-02-06 03709, 2004
ruaok
are the track durations the same?
2004-02-06 03714, 2004
melange
for example : Back Catalogue by Front 242, early release has titles one way, later release has titles the other way.
2004-02-06 03722, 2004
melange
the tracks are exaactly the same
2004-02-06 03732, 2004
melange
Back Catalogue is a compilation album ..
2004-02-06 03745, 2004
ruaok
what is one way vs the other way.
2004-02-06 03706, 2004
melange
the original release of the tracks is "S. Fr. Nomenklatura" (I + II)
2004-02-06 03720, 2004
melange
one of the versions of Back Catalogue drops the "S. FR."
2004-02-06 03746, 2004
ruaok
Personally, I'd go with the first version and stick with it.
2004-02-06 03758, 2004
melange
same ..
2004-02-06 03705, 2004
melange
just wanted a second opinion
2004-02-06 03707, 2004
melange
:)
2004-02-06 03710, 2004
melange
do you prefer "V1.0" or "v1.0"?
2004-02-06 03719, 2004
ruaok
v1.0
2004-02-06 03723, 2004
melange
all the track names are in upper case
2004-02-06 03736, 2004
ruaok
Ick.
2004-02-06 03741, 2004
melange
good, that's how I did it
2004-02-06 03740, 2004
melange
someone has put them is as "(version 1.0)". The track title just has "V1.0" etc
