Damnit! Here I am going through the back log and *snap* irssi just crashes on me as I press PGDN. :(

Excellent

Another whole day without a connection

:-(

no fresh pr0ns?

Getting stale using the same "material"

lol

heh: http://g.imagehost.org/0584/tomlinson.jpg

I did write a neat script to help me revise though :P

Give it a yaml file of questions and answers, it'll randomly ask you questions and match with String::Similarity

lol

nice.

I'm making a Gnome applet now so it'll randomly pop up asking questions :)

all my lecture notes were online :(

so I couldn't really do anything, other than go through the notes I've made

then again, I guess I'm not much better

I use anki for revising stuff, but I hate the interface, so I spend more time editing the bloody code

heh

maybe if they'd stop using gigantic fonts and requiring too much screen space...

FUCK. it's a friends birthday tonight, and i'm not gonna be able to make it now >.<

oh well

fuck. too hot. bbiab

oh?

between the heat and the allergies == life sux

:( the heat?

sucky

I feel nap time coming on. here in the a/c office.

don't expect much from me today... plz. :)

it's been quite warm here, it's annoying 'cause we can't open the window properly

although nothing compared to your heat :P

I'd die without being able to open the window. :)

heh. forecast 30C. Now 36C.

wail.

Anyone here use macports ?

I used it for a couple of things

it keeps breaking on it too

on me, even

Thought you might have. I was wondering if the whole macports environment was stored in /opt

Munger: it is.

blow away /opt and all of macports goes away.

So if I shared /opt ever NFS and mounted it on my other machine, whatever oports I install on one I get on the other

in theory.

Let's give it a try :-)

Plug you ears

KABOOM!

IT WORKS!! :-D

By the time Iv'e finished most of the system will be machine independant

Is there a way to search the musicbrainz data for say "female vocal" + "blues guitar licks" ?

Munger: well I do have a particular song in mind, but I don't remember lyrics

Hum it :-)

so I figured if it's in the data set I could sift down enough by specifying enough things I do remember

:-)

yay, now my little revision tool can store facts and statistics in a database

KiokuDB++

Remember *any* of the lyrics?

I have an extensive blues collection here

Munger: unfortunately, no. It's been a while since I heard it, and I just remembered about it when I was looking at Music Brainz

colonelqubit: even if you could do that (we don't have that information available), you'd still end up with a lot of information I think

aCiD2: you think so?

we don't have information about gender, and we don't information about the style of music

ah, okay

colonelqubit: you'd need a lot of facts I think

bad luck :(

I mean, female vocal + blues licks + english lyrics + ...

I have a little progrsm on the iphone that identifies songs when you hum them

yea, I mean you could drill it down to hundreds of possibilities, but that's still a lot

Fuck gracenote AND sony!

Munger: NO. Gracenote supporter >.>

though that is probably your best option :P

aCiD2: The cool thing is that were I to drill it down to a few hundred possibilities, I'd probably enjoy listening to all of them as I searched...

The best option being to fuck them?

aCiD2: Are there any plans to add additional information such as vocalist gender, etc... to the database?

colonelqubit: a good point :)

Well, it's at midomi.com anyway :-)

gender is on the way, I can tell you that for sure

navap: if they bend over

heh

they already made there userbase do the same

:P

Not always a definitive test though

This is so cool. I can now compile ports on the idle machine and not slow down the one I'm working on

Hmm, where on earth do Xboxes get their CD metadata from?

The rame place as WMP maybe?

same*

Muz: M$ cloned freedb a while back, I think.

If that's the case, riddle me this, them being able to recognise a disc that doesn't turn up in FreeDB.

It's witchcraft!

Probably the same way last.fm has links to non-existant MBIDs ;)

If last.fm has a link to an MBID, it existed at one point.

It just may not exist anymore. ¬_¬

But then wouldn't it say MBID/Artist deleted?

When I try to view the mbid page on mb.

Muz: the fork was ages ago.

ruaok: so they must be obtaining new data and storing that somewhere ;)

the two grow at different paces now.

Probably got added by the same person who put it on last.fm, only to have the edit thrown out my the editors

Just log DNS lookups in you router

That doesn't help finding out how they're looked up.

That's the where, what about the how ;)

It's not like I don't know what I'm doing here. The bottle neck here is getting my arse into gear and starting my Crapbuntu VM.

Knowing where will give you a clue to the how. Once you have the IP, switch and log all packets to that IP

Chances are I've got mod_proxy set up already from when I was at my parents and bridging the wifi on the wired network.

Why do that when I can do both at the same time?

The only traffic passing through my VM will be the 360, and nothing else.

Well, it's certainly authing me via my Xbox Live account.

hello

I hate the evil empire

Quick conspiracist freetards! Shit yourselves over Microsoft logging what CDs you may have done lookups on!

I think WMP added auto-submission of user entered data, but to MS, not freedb or CDDB, a while back - that could be keeping them somewhat up to date

I know I caught WMP 8 or 9 logging it and sending it to MS a few years ago

test http://www.naley-kofe.ru/

They have an option to disable that IIRC, been a while since I've used anything but foobar.

Atkins spam

Indeed.
