I dunno, are you?

aha

thanks!!

ValHallA|SW`gone: if you meant our connection is capped, then I hope not given the thousands per month we're paying for it ;)

cikkolata: is your ibook narcoleptic?

hmm, no

it's just plain broken

heh

Russss: no, I meant the FTP server may cap the rate to 50KB/s per user :)

ah

hi djce

hey Russss

there's another "SELECT oid" in MBImport.pl line 283ish

which just needs changing to SELECT 1

(the AR stuff finally persuaded me to actually make MBImport.pl work with our setup)

I see them.

I'll fix it now...

cool thanks

one less thing for us to worry about, since we upgraded to PG 8 we've had oids turned off. I'm not sure how much of a performance difference it really makes, but it makes me feel better.

You're on the 20050527 branch now, yes?

yes, as of today

Russss: committed to that branch.

well I fixed it myself for the mean time, but that's appreciated

I thought you might :-)

but as long as we at MB keep our CVS stuff in order, that's that problem gone for good.

I need to work out how to nicely do schema support too, at some point

but that's a little more tricky

did you get the one in ImportReplicationChanges too? :P

yup

right, it's going now. Not entirely sure what went wrong before

I managed to get hawaiian into the top languages.

cool.

I wasn't even *trying*!

djce: maybe there should be a mailing list for MB replication slaves, I tend to miss the bits added to the end of the update notifications

mb-slaves...heheheh

hehe, that would be nice ;)

You mean the server change logs?

hi, btw

yes

question: when it says "all tracks written by Bjork, except track 2: written by foo, music composed by bar", does "written" mean composed, or does it refer to lyrics?

hi g0llum . Ok Russss , seems quite sensible....

plus maybe for general replication discussion

djce: RJ just raised an interesting question: why do you only have an index on artist(name) and not on artist(upper(name))?

similarly with album and track

Russss: ignorance, pure and simple.

I've never yet used indexes on functions. Maybe it's time to start.

hmm...

mo: if you have time can you explain the reason for the voting on http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=2787829 I've already attempted to pacify them on http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=2799289 and http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=2803301

they seem to think the whole world (or me ) is against them

god, icelanders do have unpronounceable names: Gudrun Hrund Hardardottir (viola)

I can pronounce that

you can?? I can't

how the hell do you pronounce "hrund" ?

hrrund?

I suppose it gets easier if you can roll arrs?

don't icelandic and norwegian have a similar root

jup

icelandic is actually (along with foeryorsk) the languae most simmilar to old norse

while modern norwegian is different by far. we have kept soem worsd and things

(cant remember witch now though)

inhouseuk I don't quite understand what is the problem. I just got the email of this moderation to (I checked my email just now) I havent seen any other mods or remember this guy before. i have changed my mod to 'abst' for the tiem being, is that what you wanted?

what I meant was that that mod is wrong and that the reason he added it as nonalbum track was bercasue he didnt think that a bootleg tape was aplicable in our DB, (wich it *is*)

yeah !

exactly what I thought

he also didn't like my comments on http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=2787480, but they sent that directly to me, it's not on the mod note

I don't understand.. you don't see maggresive at all to me?

this guy is weird o_O

yees its a good thing he didnt bump into hairmetaladdict ;)

basically I feel they are adding data that will only be of use to them and not anybody else. In which case we don't need it

yes

if others have this tape, itsa bootleg tape and can be added as such

I'll see if he responds to my "constructive" comments :)

hi cikkolata !

hi inhouseuk!

meta4?

O_O

meta4? never seen!

yes

scary guy who takes everything too personally!

yes!

he called inhouseuk agressive?

wtf!

I might be direct - but not aggressive :)

a lot of people do think that people on MB are rude, but I can't really see why

me either

yeah they should get a fucking clue, those morrons ! ,-)

what does the smiley tell you ;-)

the problem is that soem peope ldon't have a sence of humor

and they also often take things to personally

with the number of new users that generate duff mods, we don't always have time to put more than a short sentence in the mod note when voting 'no'

now *me* saying this might be a little two faced.. but I digress.. I have *reasons*

and some people have a weird sense of humor, but that's another problem

I have a weird sence of humor! ;_;

well that's a problem ;-)

no its not! :p

yes it is! :p

whaa! youre mean!

cikkolata!!

whaaa

I'd like to get more people voting and commenting on MB mods

AS peopel ?

woaa? no @op to go cry to?

or people in general?

for whatever reason, the AS moderation system appeared to be a lot more friendly

2op?

real people?

we had mods with 300 votes and 60 comments on

that doesnt seem frindly to me, it seems stressy and anmasende

erh.. distressing

but I get liek that in crowds :)

I'd like for NAT's to only be able to peoep lthats been on musicbrains for awhile

or atleast make them *harder* to add

they're to easy to add now

the trick is to get more people voting

there needs to be more incentive

thats it totally

true

the thing is. I can vote alot. but if I have to a) explain everyvote and b) explain everyvote *again* it gets more 'arg why bother'

I try to do it to newbies I see doing soem intersetign stuff. asking if what they are doing is wrong or not

I think people should comment if they're the first "no" voter.

I think people should comment if they're the first "no" voter.

heh

they seem intereested in learning and usually are pretty sharp eough to understand that they don't know everything ;)

man... anyone who complains about my tags will get shot:
