I imagine it would depend on how long it will take to get enough PUIDs into the DB to supplant TRMs, which would depend on how easy it's made to add PUIDs to the DB, ...

MartinRudat: I would have to be able to take the alternately attached puid (that music iP attaches to the song) and be able to put those in without having to reanalyze

quick question:

I could have a good 20,000 puid's up in a very short time. ;)

what do you think?

I'd un-link it, but for some reason my browser toasts japanese text...

g0llum: on my laptop screen they are *very* similar

which link color g0llum?

hmm... well, yes, and well, no...

yes, it's similar to the main text colour, but no, it would probably be distracting if it's too di-similar to the main text colour...

other colours on MB are almost impossible to differentiate on cheap TFTs, too. like the 'pending moderation' colour, which is pretty much invisible

Nyght: of all the links

s/i-/is-/

i'm trying to put some more documentation links into the page texts

but it won't help if you don't even notice that these are links :-)

...theme/skin? =)

the easiest way would be to underline them

but that goes not well with the design

at least it would be the traditional way for displaying links

WEll it looks like there was a decent amount of thought for not too high contrasting colors the pages aren't hard on the eyes, but the only place I have difficulty is on the left column. The grey and "purplish" are sometimes difficult to differentiate, but you wouldn't want to make it too extreme because garish and glare would make it

for the main text, I think that you could make the link colour darker, or more saturated, but that might end up causing trouble for people who are colourblind...

difficult to continue to work for as long as some people do look at these colors. :D

huh. the links in the sidebar _are_ different colours, I've never noticed...

Yes they are Martin :)

but the new sidebar, hmm, well ... ;-)

hmm... do you have stats for which links people use the most often? I find myself using the quicksearch boxes a lot, and my profile page to get to my list of moderations (to find that release that started all this nonsense)...

nope, although it would be interesting

really? it doesn't seem (on the surface of things) to be too hard a thing to do... I know that lookup counts are computed for some record types already...

I use the profile a lot, wiki intermittently and ...

old search

MartinRudat: I even volunteered to write the script, but still

yalaforge: any ideas for better sidebar features? :-)

yeah, actually

:-)

I'd love a link to the releases I've added recently, I seem to go profile -> moderations -> page, page, page -> disc a lot...

g0llum: move the login link to the top banner (right upper corner)

then I can get rid of the sidebar :-)

Yeah same here Martin, but others have the searching down to a science, so I think that's just lack of knowledge with advance search. ;)

yalaforge: yeah ;)

but the sponsors have to go somewhere it seems

because the userpref is ignored :P

well, I have no problem as long as I can click the 'hide' link

the reasons i have the sidebar shown: resolution big enough / the search box :)

yeah.

Nyght: it's not so much searching, but getting back to the release I just added... I suppose I should just keep a tab open with the release in it... and every track and artist I'm tring to add relationships between too...

but since ppl complained about 800x600 resolution...

That's what I do Martin. ;) It's so much easier than back back back. ;)

seriously, I think the login link should be somewhere else

Nyght: but I don't have a 5000-pixel wide monitor! =)

tabs and 1280 by 1024, it does work. ;)

it used to be on the landmarks bar, but it doesn't belong there either. after all it doesn't lead to a part of the site

course then you miss little things like colons and teleGUISE jumps on you for double colons ;)

Or maybe he just likes pickin on me. :D

Nyght: I'm talking about the tabs scrolling about three screen for the number of tabs I'd need to have open... =)

LOL! Better use of your release and back works too!

I know when I was doing the AR's for .... Reinhold's tribute album I was doing to back's to shift the AR, it worked really well!

I'd much rather have ARs as batch operations, but that's work...

two back pages too.

if I had more ARs to do, I'd start considering writing a script to do all the clicking for me...

after I applied the mod, I would click back to where you could choose the AR and go on;.. err.. no, that was Jack of All Trades. Sorry, where I had a computer, producer etc all for the same track

g0llum: still here?

yes

That's an example -> http://www.eclipse.org/

but the "Legal" link should be "login"

here's a new one:

[/home/httpd/musicbrainz/mb_server/cgi-bin/Moderation.pm:940]

[/home/httpd/musicbrainz/mb_server/htdocs/mod/approve.html:57]

[/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/HTML/Mason/Component.pm:135]

and if you're logged in it's "username | log out"

yalaforge: that's usually where login is in a lot of places

yup

but show it to nikki_ and she'll complain about the font size

I'll take care of that :-)

it only looks good if you use small fonts for these kinds of thingies :)

i like the way it renders in firefox a lot

i think it looks much better than it did a few months ago

ojnkpjg: which site are you talking about?

eclipse is not a site i visit too often

mb

i wasn't paying attention to conversation earlier, if you were talking about something else

heh, in fact I know now who could implement it ;-)

personally, I think wikipedia's sidebar looks nice, though I think the second section should be moved to the top of the sidebar...

anyone played with plone much?

plone? no, it rings a bell, though...

some content management system. never used it

there are so many these days, difficult to keep track

ojnkpjg: thanks, i appreciate it :)

plone is a CMS on top of zope

it makes my head hurt

that happens with all open-source CMSes :)

;)

David Hasselhoff of Knight Rider and Babe^H^Hywatch fame?

That'd be the badger

dear lord he sings too?

He has done for a while

Quite the sensation in Germany

Your opinion won't change in light of that above video

hey muz@

Hey Beth

I don't think I'd want to hear David Hasslehoff sing. I think it would sound like a pained cat

I can't listen to an entire track of his without having to skip/stop it

Uhhhhh... no Martin, I have a basement. ;0

;0)

he's gotten old!! and sorta overweight!

mustaqila: what, sorta like Barry Mannilow, only with less ability to sing?

Hahah

I was under the impression that a complete unix manual would be hard to misplace... kinda like misplaceing your dead-tree version of the Encyclopedia Britannica...

and talk about a cheesy video!

of course, I'm not cringing from his voice.. so..

yay! 7th edition, vol. 1. from january 1979 :-)

that's older than I am.

same here. but not much :-(

...though not more than a couple of months.

i noticed a second edition of advanced programming in the unix environment was released

i was really hoping for that for a long time

then stevens drowned

i figured that was the end of that

yes

i think i have all of stevens' books except tcpip illustrated vol 3

and my copy of 1 has been on load now for a couple of years

er, loan
