quick question:

what do i do in the case of japanese import CDs?

they have a couple of extra tracks

should make a whole new cd?

hi

hi

er

icepick-away is now known as icepick

hola

hi croakur

hola. how does.

or is it how dose?

evening djce!

ruaok, I am having a problem installing the UTF-8 locale

I erm, can't seem to figure out where I get the locale or how to install it

djce: I'm pleased to report that adding a minimal web server to python was accomplished in about 20 lines of code.

nice!

that's, err, compact.

croakur: what dist are you using?

djce: seriously, eh?

gentoo

So, I was wondering if you have any ideas on where to send the user after they click on the tag link...

maybe they should go to a popup window that closes automatically after 2 seconds?

or a popup that never shows?

or a redirect to the page from where they came from?

croakur: utf-8 for what program?

for the mb_server, ice

croakur: I dunno gentoo, sorry.

icepick: he needs the en_us.utf8 locale.

back in one sec.

do you have a file /etc/locale.gen ?

hmm, no

I may have figured it out

I ran 'localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en-US.UTF-8'

let's watch what happens!

back

oh my god it worked

:-)

ruaok: tag link. The most robust method would be to go to new page, then redirect.

but the most inconspicuous would be something more like loading an IFRAME or IMG with the required url.

Hmmmm.

or zero-size FRAME maybe

Yeah....

I just want an effective no-op. :-)

try POSTing to a zero-size frame.

wow

that's probably the best way that doesn't require JS

why POST?

why not GET?

avoids cacheing

just in case

ahhh.

Ok, I'll give that a shot.

then do a 303-redirect to a blank page.

Unless you're looking for a little project. ;-)

busy, sorry :-)

but I would like to play with the Python code, to see it work

I'm also thinking of stashing the incoming query into the session and having the tag icons look in the session for the info for the tag.

ok.

want me to mail you a copy of the python code?

sure, thanks

Its pretty sleek.

on the way

ruaok: what app are you making in python w/ a webserver?

Tagger NG

For browser integration.

We'd like to integrate with the user's default browser.

yay. Brad accepted my memcached-perl patch, and noted: "Whoa, we run Perl 5.6 on LiveJournal and never noticed this!?"

:-)

So the tag icons will point to http://localhost:8000/whatever_url

if the user clicks on the link our tagger will know about it.

Nice -- way to go djce!

what bug did you tackle?

hmm. using GET links would make the tag HTML easier though.

croakur: using $! instead of %! in Perl.

trivial really

ruaok: ok, I've changed my mind. I think the tag icons will have to be simple <a> tags, maybe like this:

<a href="http://localhost/...etc.etc.etc?time=$time" taget="invisible_frame">

GET with time to prevent caching?

yes

ok, sounds like a plan.

since it's much easier to build HTML with <a> tags wherever you need, instead of having trouble with nested forms, etc

wow memcached is a cool idea

a multiple machine caching system

I still need to modify httpserver to look for an open port, but other than that its close to ready.

ok, thanks for the insight, oh HTML guru!

I keep being amazed at how fast it is to write stuff in python.

I need a web server to do this and that.

try moving back to java sometime

croakur: memcached rocks. I've only used it in single-server mode so far though.

1 hour later I'm DONE.

icepick: ick.

so I've not played with its "distributed" property.

I was contemplating coding lots of C++ again.

Adding new features to tunepimp.

I've played with python, I'm still in love with perl, though

Java, what's that? :)

Then I decided to code things in python first, and then move them to c++ as necessary.

:-)

Heh. Here is some april fools love for you:

ruaok: I would like to take a moment and point you to pyid3, a really good (I wrote it ;) id3v2 python module

that's great

icepick: thanks. :-)

But I don't think I'll be needing it right away.:-)

I'm still going to have most of the work done by tunepimp.

but album matching will be done in python.

since it will involve lots of tweaking and testing.

python code is massaged much easier than C++. :-)
