yalaforge agrees with both HMA and nikki :-)
20:19 PM
you can send your own headers with header() and if it's the web server saying it's latin1, that's hardly php's fault ;)
20:20 PM

and also send <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" ... for stupid browsers like MSIE

ruaok: did you decide which license you want for the python ws bindings?
20:33 PM
ruaok
I thought about it for 10 seconds before I got interrupted again. :-)
20:35 PM
GPL or BSD?
20:36 PM
yalaforge
LGPL vs BSD, I'd say. GPL is too restrictive, IMHO
20:36 PM
yalaforge can live with either one
20:37 PM
ruaok
but using the LGPL for code that doesn;'t get compiled? Does that even make sense?
20:37 PM
yalaforge
python code is compiled, there are .pyc files all over the place :-)
20:38 PM
ruaok
yes, but you don't tote around .pyc files and link them to other stuff as you do with .so or .dll
20:38 PM
yalaforge
BSD.

yalaforge is confused about this, and if I am, I'm not the only one
20:40 PM

you should be able to put any licence on any code regardless of whether its compiled or interpreted

BSD works fine. I'm starting to get creeped out by RSM and his inflexible rants.

the merge artist AR bug?
20:55 PM
if so, how did you do it?
20:56 PM

yes, AR merging now works for all artist, albums and tracks
20:57 PM
20:57 PM

wow. very cool!

thanks sooo much!

how can you tell whether a string from a submitted form contains non-latin characters?
21:02 PM
ruaok
depends on the encoding. utf-8
21:03 PM
its easy to tell if string contains non-ascii characters
21:04 PM
Jetpack
i must check the style guidelines of the sortname
21:04 PM
maybe it will tell me exactly what characters are acceptable for sortname
21:05 PM
ruaok
utf-8 :)
21:05 PM
luks
sortnames should contain only latin characters
21:07 PM
Jetpack
do these to characters count as latin? ��

to=2

Question for the AR afficianados here (sent to me in a last.fm PM, I dunno how to respond since I don't touch ASINs, edited for clarity):
21:08 PM
2) What about when there's a (bonus disc) that was only available for certain releases (such as the first pressing)?"
21:08 PM
(I'm guessing the second question means when the limited edition bonus disc is no longer available for purchase.)
21:09 PM
luks
1) to both
21:09 PM
2) ASIN of a release with the bonus disc
21:10 PM

so if it's a limited edition and no longer available for purchase it shouldn't have an ASIN
21:10 PM
HairMetalAddict
Yeah. For #2, I think it means it was a "limited edition" bonus disc, and is no longer availble with any listed versions
21:10 PM
Ah, yeah.
21:11 PM

I suppose if you put in a symbol it uses the actual name ?
21:44 PM
nikki_
hm?
21:44 PM
Jetpack
if you put in a symbol in browse artists you get a lot of other-language characters which aren't supposed to be in a sortname
21:44 PM
nikki_
yes
21:45 PM
that's where I go for easy mods :P
21:48 PM
Jetpack
do some artists not have a sortname?
21:48 PM
or does it just not display on some of them?
21:48 PM
nikki_
some artists have a sortname the same as their name
21:49 PM
so it's not displayed

in picard i assume they are all in latin and use them as "translations"

there aren't that many that need fixing
22:00 PM
Jetpack
how many is "not that many" ?
22:01 PM
oh its only like 200
22:02 PM

1220 using characters outside of latin1, 302 using characters outside of latin1 and latin extended-a
22:02 PM
and 221139 artists altogether
22:03 PM

there's 2 x tchaikovsky's thats annoying
