hmm

morning

moin

luks: still around?

mac

isn't there a test version already?

I think so, but I'm not keen on testing browsers.

I want my browsers to be reasonably stable.

I want my browsers to be reasonably fast and this is something chrome for linux can multitudes better than firefox on linux

speaking of fast: I've ordered by new notebook today :)

what did you order?

x200s with a wxga+ display

+4GiB RAM update, +3G update

sounds like a lot of crap to be carrying around all the time :)

if I'm lucky, it'd be here before the weekend

warp: don't worry, everything is built in ;)

external ram is something I've never used before :D

I only carry my laptop when I travel. and even then its a light one.

yeah, 1.4 kg is not something I consider heavy

pronik: well I think my old 13" macbook is too big to carry around all the time :)

mine will be a 12", so it's a bit less ;)

warp: thats what I've got now and its near the limit of what I want to carry.

but my iphone never leaves my side

ruaok: ah

ruaok: i now almost always have the eeepc with me on any trip, including commutes.

can't wait for blackstone-android project to come along...

that totally makes sense.

eeepc is too small for me...

same here, but if commuted the way warp does, I'd find a way to make it work.

eeeee :D

I was using safari for a bit lately... I just killed it because it was using 12 gigs of virtual memory with two tabs open ¬_¬

the keyboard is a bit cramped. but I have no trouble reading the screen when having gnome-terminal set up as 160 characters when full screen.

(which is important, because 160 characters fit two source files side-by-side :)

I'm ok with the eee's keyboard in general, it's just the keys round the edge, like I keep hitting up instead of shift

hmm, I do have trouble typing when my nails get long though

i'm annoyed that some keys are smaller than others. when using dvorak it doen't really match up right.

yeah, it annoys me that the apostrophe is so narrow. I use them more than things like z and x and q and j and *they're* not tiny ¬_¬

so..

this is the second time that picard has begun refusing to save any tags

is there any way to see why?

I click save on a song, and it does nothing

devicenull: usually it will render an error message in the statusbar at tho bottom of the picard window.

(for example if the files are read only)

apparently I scared it by asking in irc, since it just started working

but there are also ways you can get picard to log in more detail what's going on. i don't remember how to do that though.

oor maybe closing itunes did it

odd, I can get it to start again by scanning another file and waiting a bit

that should let me get through all the stuff it scanned I suppose

who here works at last.fm?

alastairp: no-one I think.

right

alternatively, anyone in london need a coder? :-P

russss does work there.

oh right.

creature does too.

wat does the 10 mean at end of this? count = int(tag.count[0].text.strip(), 10)

the base, probably

ok thanks, alastairp are you the lastfm coder?

am trying to work out how to deal with the toptags returned from lastfm

nope

:)

in the 1.0 api the maximum count for the tag was 100, like a percentage, with the 2.0 api the counts seem to be the actual number, and go into the millions at times

so need to change the count value to be a percentage of the highest count found for each tag i think

Just because the maximum count was 100, that doesn't mean it's a percentage.

It was a relative score.

Muz nope, is just the way i interperated it, but it never goes above 100

That still doesn't make it a percentage. ¬_¬

i know, but now that they are more than 100 my script won't work and trying to fix it

or actually get help to fix it

2.0 example: http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=track....

1.0 example: http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/track/nirvana/...

so what are you trying to do?

upgrade lastfmplus to use the new lastfm api 2.0

since 1.0 seems to be old and superceded

the tags all seem the same for the most part, just the count values have changed

and now it needs and api key

an*

weird - the api says it orders by count

but that example you gave isn't

yeah

but the order is the same as the api 1.0 when the numbers were sorted

so i still cannot work out wat they mean

ah

"Get the top tags for this track on Last.fm, ordered by tag count."

yep been using that as a guide

maybe it means they are the top by tag count, but that list isn't ordered

the sample responce shows counts under 100, but if you click the example the counts are way higher

looks like the example was made with the 1.0 api version

or there is a way to convert them, but using same url structure as example, just adding &raw=true to the end

to remove the <lfm status="ok"> part

hrm i don't like these new counts, i think its going to give all sorts of false results

eg, for cher-believe rock and electronic have far higher counts than pop, but they are way down the list

so am going to try import the tags in the order retrieved and ignore the count?

Muz so do you know how the counts would be calculated if they are not a percentage type score out of 100?

like wat is it relative to?

i had an album... i am a boy now (extended) which included several bonus tracks from other singles and EPs etc... when i tried to add this to picard it put all the bonus tracks in their actual EP and single releases instead of an "extended" album... i dont think there is an extended release on the MB site... how do i add it through picard?

yay, we now have a ghetto artist credit form

can anyone see a pattern? http://pastebin.ca/1480181

got it live somewhere?

I should be able to forward port 3000

let me just make some finishing touches :)

Well "finishing"

http://127.0.0.1:3000/release-group/7c3218d7-75... login as "new_editor / password"

FAIL!

heh

wtf

Oh yea, xterm doesn't use the same clipboard, gah

Try artists "Test Artist" "David Bowie" "Abba" - it's just using the test database atm

(there are still quite a few bugs to fix up first)

cannot find page after login

RifRaf: where's it redirected you?

add artist doesn't do anything for me.

Hrm, it seems it doesn't work on my ip, but does on 127.0.0.1

weird

aCiD2 after a reload i now go to the right place

yep error on page when trying to add artist

ruaok: try now?

I left a log statement in, that depends on Firebug being enabled, I think

Known problems are the select box sucks, and you can't click "edit" if a join phrase is blank - but other than that, I think it's working

yep working now

cool, it should show you "Caught exception in MusicBrainz::Server::Controller::ReleaseGroup" if it works :P that's not a bug heh

weird. when I click add artist it adds the artist above with what I typed in and shows me the popup in the add another artist field.

Screenshot?

The artist should go above, yes
