jesus2099: you can use your voting thingy to go vote on http://musicbrainz.org/mod/search/pre/editor-op... then :P

and I haven't seen kerensky97 for a while, catcat was around the other day

Cool I want to use my voting-powerup-stuff ! Well I rarely get around at the same time.. you are different because you're *always* here ;)

:D

It's done. It was such a great collaboration! ;)

Hey nikki, did you notice that your vote-power-up tool is adding some border on the first lines in the edit search page?

And it split cells in the first rows too

But it's just a glitch and it works really fine otherwise http://userscripts.org/scripts/reviews/24543 :)

I know the vertical borders look a bit weird for the first edit, but what do you mean by it splits cells in the first row?

Hmm jesus2099, are you located in France atm?

only nothing. The same problem the first lines if colspan get split but don't worries :)

muz: yes I am :)

You want some french cheese by mail or somethings?

jesus2099: wouldn't suppose you happen to know of cheap/quick and easy ways to ravel across France. Say, from Paris to Strasbourg.

*travel

Usually cheap≠quick :D

Just like England then. Nice to know some things remain the same. ;)

Well cheap would be bus (like eurolines) and quick would be TGV (the french shinkansen / fast train)

Hmm, got a rough estimate on how much to expect to pay for such a journey and what to consider as far too much?

Please wait...

No rush, I'm not travelling any time soon.

It's crazy, their website is dumb http://www.eurolines.fr you can't choose from FRANCE to FRANCE ! I know there is a line between Paris and Strasbourg...

Oh wow, but I suppose it's good to know that there is a route to there at least. :)

It should be less than 50€ I guess hmm I'm writing to thems

Hmm, £45 isn't too unreasonable I guess.

Okay, thanks. Good to know roughly how much I'll be paying to visit my girlfriend then.

By TGV train it's about 100€ to go and return price

I'll tell you after lunch for the bus prices because my friends are waiting me, we go the the cantine now :)

Okay no worries. Thanks again though.

heh... the uk site says £76 return from london to strasbourg, if you're crazy enough to sit on a bus for 12-14 hours

My laptop battery could probably do that.

Could definitely do it with the pair of them.

it says it changes at brussels, so you could save like 6 hours if you got the eurostar to brussels but it would be more expensive then, of course

The eurostar isn't too bad if you book it in advance I've found.

yeah

Given that I'd be booking time off of work for a trip lasting a considerable length of time, that's hardly a concern too

I've found that the eurostar is often still pretty cheap even if you don't book really far in advance

Given the route it takes and the speed it does it, it's certainly more reasonable than some of the national rail routes.

like a few weeks ago, I booked a ticket about 3 days before I left and it was the same price as normal

Muz: same gf that used to live in wales? she likes odd places, doesn't she? :P

She's doing a year abroad.

It's fine when it's not term time. It's less than an hour, and about a tenner to travel to hers then.

Muz: I've sent an e-mail for Paris-Strasbourg by bus, I'll tell you when I have an answer. What is yo ueditor name? muzzzz, muzzz, muzz, muz have 0 edits..

mustaqila

Thanks ;)

I had a look at http://mustaqila.li/?page_id=2 you could change your link on your editor page to mustaqila.li ... Speaking of lastfm, do you have a way of knowing when was an upladed album created ? (UL via artist manager)

I probably should, the RDNS for that server is still muz.goatse.co.uk though.

I personally have no idea, not worked there for almost a year now, and I never touched any of the labels or artists stuff.

At least, not in the last 3 years.

Thanks :) And I have reported a problem for ages now and it's quite important but never fixed. KLastfm breaks the ID3 tags like this: "Je mangerais bien un ?uf" or "?a c'est vrai" or "?????" can't cope with unicode.. http://last.fm./forum/21713/_/423718

Sorry it's not "ages" but just one year. ;)

Maybe you still know a guy who could have a looks… It's problematic since I must refrain from uploading more shit to my artist pages ;)

Muz: would an IRC command like "/join #lastfm" could help me?

jesus2099: they used to be on their own irc server (irc.audioscrobbler.com perhaps), see if that still exists.

But I can't do IRC here at work, it's blocked. To chat here, I am using a CGI hosted by nikki which is preset to freenode.

I tried "join #lastfm" with it : "Access to channel #lastfm is blocked"

although it's not hosted by me :P

Really? that domain isn't yours?

no

So whose family are those "Family Pictures"? :D

Why would they bolck irc at work? It's not bad for productivity at all. ¬¬_¬

since it's his server

FauxFaux: where else would we bitch about idiot users?

Don't know inhouseuk :/ I thought I saw you in picture at Heathlake or somethings, she's someone else then, lolz

FauxFaux: come to the pub tonight. ¬_¬

Muz: Move to Staines.

FauxFaux: Move to Inverness, or wherever it is Silver lives.

D:

wow, great smiley, Faux: ¬_¬

¬_¬ is a great smiley

I love it ... are you ALT+0172 ?

¬_¬

warp: you're just jealous :P

a bit

Here's my favourite, and easy to type too -> (._.?)

Muz_ is now known as Muz

DarkerAudit is now known as DarkAudit

Muz if you're still there. I've had some e-mails with Eurolines and they are not allowed to do some France-France trips (!)

Hahah, wtf?

Only international

Ah well, thanks for checking. I imagine I'll be looking to go the train route then.

Maybe a negociation with SNCF (trains) and/or Air France and/or stuffs like that

As nikki said you might find full trips from your England to Strasbourg, all the way..

Mmm, was wondering if it'd be cheaper to take the French side into my own hands and see if I could sort out something there.

Guess I just need to hold off on the spending money on silly shiny things I don't need for a bit.

Muz: i think atleast TGV tickets have discounts if you order them in advance, I have no personal experience with that though.

Mmm, well that goes for more forms of public transport. One thing I found here with multi-part journeys was that I could buy 2 advance tickets for cheaper than a single ticket that did the entire route.

So I could buy a ticket for London -> Birmingham and another Birmingham -> Wales for cheaper than London -> Wales, which was nice.

hah, strange
