Is it wierd to watch/listen to the press release by anonymous, and to suddenly pay attention to the background music - and be able to identify it?

nah, you're just human. :)

well, you are weird in plenty of other ways. :-)

lol

yeah, but the theme song to Gattaca I'd doubt is on the tip of most people's tongues :P

interesting voice synth they used - took me a few minutes to realize it wasn't just post-transform, but actually a synth

music geek :P

aCiD2: I thought that's what MB is all about ;)

album 552960 99% 12593ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UNICODE": 0xf0

seem familiar to anyone?

what's that from? a replication packet?

it's from the replication process in InitDb.pl

nothing in my logs like it

but i'm using postgres 8.3

what version of pg are you using?

I think 8.1 is required now.

looking at the replication logs, what's kind of amazing is that trm submissions are still outpacing puid submissions by like an order of magnitude

are that many people still using the old tagge?

tagger

yep.

TRM sucks.

bad.

i wonder what it is that people like about the old tagger so much

track oriented.

for all those people who can't be bothered to download a whole album.

that's what i hated about it :P

and that's why others love about it.

think it'd be worth doing one final release to make the thing use puids instead of trms?

I refuse.

And no one but me has been able to get it it to compile.

oh

what I am playing with is the idea of a different UI bolted on top of picard that is more track oriented.

I don't even have the tools around anymore. not to mention the lack of a windows box.

is trm still slated to go away with the next server revision?

chefkoch is now known as chefkoch_AW

yes. next schema change release.

Can't we just write a provocative page daring them to "get on the train" instead of being more stuck in the past than a movie with Cliff Curtis?

so how many GB smaller will that make the DB :P

petros: no. the track oriented users are the most hateful internet users.

they give nothing but pointless spiteful feedback about the best tool ever being ripped away from them.

stupid idiots.

yet nobody's bothered enough to do something about it and write something better

those are the best kind of users

have we aver had measurable problems with badmouthing 'lusers'?

ojnkpjg: well, those who complain loudest are the ones who are least likely to do something about it.

that's usually how it goes, yeah

people who feel entitled, for some strange reason

petros: I've experienced more than my fair share of getting hate mail from these people.

but won't do anything about it

and I always have to smile and apologize to them.

you "have"?

can't you just ignor them?

the customer is always right and shit.

you catch more bees with honey than vinegar.

they make too much noise to ignore them.

Good thinh I'm not in sales then

you need to stroke their ego, bat down their fur and try and make them shut up.

Whatever happened to buckets of water flung with gusto?

what i like about my job is i almost never have to deal with end users

it gets in my keyboard everytime

i'm insulated doubly, first by support, then by project management

problems only get escalated to engineering if it can't be solved by those to groups

er, two

i feel for the support people

I wouldn't be. I wouuld just help them while pondering how to write a follow-up to Kornbluth's novellae about travels to Venus in the meantime ;)

hi

sorry, I'm a bit lazy to find this in the docs. If I have mix ExtraTitleInformation and feat. ExtraTitleInformation in which order should I write them?

huh... I'd put feat. first

thanks - do you have a reference to the docs?

akiel: it depends

ah it depends nice :-)

if someone featured on the original version, put the feat. first

if someone only featured in the remix, put the feat. last :)

ok the other way: I have the following on a CD back cover:

(that's what I've been doing anyway)

Twenty fingers feat. Gillette - Mr. Personality (Radio Mix)

its on a sampler

what should I do?

I guess the featuring artist is on all versions, so I'd put it first and append (radio mix) to the end

yes this sounds good

I think it should be Celebration (radio party rap)" not "Celebration (radio Party Rap)" as guess case suggests - am I right?

or "Celebration (Radio Party rap)" ?

radio party rap, I'd say

guess case can only guess, not know :)

maybe "rap" should be included in the lower case words - like mix

nikkinikki

Stratovarius - Rebel

hm

I never realised before... this is a perfect channel to ask for music recommendations

someon recommend me some music :>

Boards of Canada

Your favourite two albums?

Zharf: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2b1D5w82yU

lol

BrianFreud, I've listened to boc in the past... I haven't for a while though

YAUB?

:<

Does anyone know if the searching for the MB database is based on Tsearch2 and Trigram modules in the PostGreSQL server?

^_^

legistrate: it is not.

we use lucene

ok, thx

trying to read up on it before I ask too many questions, but while your still here, could you tell me how the database and lucene interact? Does lucene require its own dictionary sorta thing, does it get its dictionary from a database query, or does it itegrate directly with postgre via some module?

Zharf: Harmonic 313

EP1 - release of the day for me :)

I'll check it out

Have fun with the word problems too :)

urf, flashpage, eww

I think it's great use of Flash

aCiD2: do I get to cheat and look at your entry? :D

That would be boring!

I think pretty much youtube is the only great use of flash
