That puts us over the 15k, yep?

the the chiropractor where I rent my office, $130.

$15500 now. :)

cool

I'm going to spend it all today. :)

heh

ruaok: oh, I got more feedback

thats going to be a flood of boxes rolling in.

ocharles: thanks.

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-performanc... thread there

the feedback on mb-devel was good. confirmed the raid card choice.

oh, more replies I haven't seen yet too

good everything converges.

we're keeping the DB in ram, so 4 spindles is fine. going for the fastest ram I can.

I'm going to look at the cores vs proc speed pricing again.

BBU for the LSI raid controller is also a must now.

I thought he'd have some good info

indeed. he's good people.

ERROR: out of shared memory

hrm, this doesn't look very good

from PG?

yea, on my box, not hobbes

i guess it's from pg anyway

facepalm at http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Classical_Release_Ar... :

This is work in progress and not official.

This is an official style guideline.

so …which is it?

nikki?

Any ideas?

I’m pretty sure it’s official, but why the disclaimer?

no idea

So…opinion on this one: http://musicbrainz.org/release/9b3b9f42-0b45-4a...

I think it belongs better under performer, as it was much closer to pop music at the time the album was released.

Possibly with the release artist to the performer and the track artist as the composer.

It seems weird and somewhat arbitrary to have that release under the composer, but this release with the exact same recording, under the performer: http://musicbrainz.org/release/8c64ca27-c6ff-47...

(just because the latter has a second track with a different composer)

It does seem arbitrary, I can't argue with that

"Artist" credit is a pita

:(

Yeah, but there’s not really a good alternative.

Or at least, not really a good way to consistently apply a rule and have it make sense in every circumstance

YESS!

We made GSoc again!

where's that unicode character when I need it

hawke_: my understanding for CSG ACs is this: the exemption for "recitals" is based on the idea that filing a release under the performer is /marginally/ more useful than filing it under VA.

hawke_: but if there's only one composer, it's not a "mixed recital" and not VA.

caller_6: Sounds about right.

hawke_: the exception to the exception is in a multi-disc set or series. Example: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Series/Isaac_Stern_...

even if a particular volume is only one composer, I put them under the performer since /in context/ it's a VA series focused on the performer

Hi, is there any list of MB ideas for GSoC? (MetaBrainz is listed at: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/program/acce... )

thx :)

hawke_: I also think I have a partial-answer to your official/un-official question.

The "mixed recital" section /is/ official (taken from the CSG main page) even though the rest of the page is unofficial.

Think so? I think it’s just part of the wiki→doc transition.

’cos that is the CSG main page, is it not?

I think the wiki includes that disclaimer, and then when it’s copied to the doc page it keeps the disclaimer.

Well, okay, I'm guessing.

It still looks stupid though. :-D

The problem is compounded. I can't find the "official" CSG page. It's just a redirect to the "unofficial" page.

Stupid. Agreed. Nonsensical, even.

I think the CSG stopped getting love when everybody shifted attention to CSGv2

I think the way it’s supposed to work is that /wiki/ is the unofficial work in progress editable page, and that /doc/ is periodically copied from there as changes are made when it’s “officially approved” or something.

I think the whole debate is silly and we should just be able to mark ARs as primary or something like that.

with popular opinion deciding what AR is the most important.

I agree. A checkbox for "use performer" or "use composer"

Maybe others. "use compiler" (for Alan Lomax type stuff) maybe?

I’d rather it were just a selection box for each Person AR on a track…

You can count on my vote

But it’s post-NGS (at best) stuff that would require a lot of programming work.

And it would probably get a lot of objections from various places.

Man, why don’t musicians have cool nicknames like they used to? “The Red-Headed Music Maker”, “The King of the Ivories”

All the good ones are taken?

Must be.

ooh: “The Hurricane of Music” :-D

fundraiser is at $16k now. :)

\o/

and I just spent $15k on 5 new servers. :)

its going to be nice to have NGS on fresh, clean consistent hardware.

I should be able to start racking new machines next wednesday

ruaok's rack ++

ruaok: 16k including Google's contribution?

yep.

Nice. Last time I checked, the counter was a 4500 sans Google.

the counter now stands at $5000.

130$ from chiropracters? :D

they are friends of mine whom I rent the office from...

I thought it was because chiropractors want to keep us hunched over our keyboards.

Damn, SoundCloud chiped in a ton.

chipped? yeah, chipped.

or half a ton, your choice :)
