I am

But come on

cjk32: it applies every hour, refreshing every 5 minutes won't change that

I come from a country where minimum wages are 1200+ and kebabs are like 3 euros, and here minimum wages are like 300 euros and kebabs are like 5

It's just too expensive

Sorry, I must be missing something. When modbot next runs, will all these not then dissappear, but end up replaced with another set in exactly the same state?

cjk32, yeah, they should

And that set should become larger the closer the hour is

reosarevok: In that sense, the kebab /is/ like a burrito. If it costs more than $7 it misses the point entirely.

Okay, so I normally expect to see the entire first page in the state state then, except for very shortly after the hour?

cjk32: pretty much

If you're voting on the full Open Edits list

You could as well start always in page 40 or something

It will be equally helpful and you'll avoid those

Ah okay, I was thrown by nikki's comment "It's not that common", which was on reflection part of another converstation :)

I didn't realise you were looking at *all* open edits

Few people do that, to avoid death by voting

There's a limit to the number of source-less edits a person can survive per day :)

I'll start a few pages in. It seems pointless voting Yes on things that will get accepted shortly anyway, and a unfair to vote No without an chance to respond.

Sorry, I should have been clearer about where I was looking.

I started with all edits; I'm ambitious!

cjk32, if you want to be ambitious AND extra helpful

Start with all removal and merging edits

yea

(well, if you avoid merge recording and merge work for a while you'll keep more sanity)

merge edits (especially release and release group) ones usually don't need any source info

With several invariably without a duration

cjk32, merge recording and merge work are a pain, and hard to vote on if you don't know the artist well

But the rest of the mergers are relatively simple

Either they're correct or they're clearly wrong, most of the time

I want to create an "iterative" voting system

it would show you an /edit/id page (from a search) and when you submit your vote, it shows you the next edit in the search

useful?

when I vote, i generally do most of the voting on an overview page with X edits. not the /edit/id page.

Yeah

I usually only see the /edit/id page by clicking links in this channel.

ocharles: yes, useful :) I don't get enough info on the search page

hmm, the search page and the /edit/id page give the same info though

They don't give you voting info

^ that

if I see that nikki or someone like that voted yes, I'm pretty likely to say "oh, okay" without checking _quite_ as thoroughly

or if I know someone who really knows this given artist is voting yes

or whatevr

ocharles: agreed, a list of edits is busy on the screen, and when switching between tabs to check things can be quite awkward

Actually, I wouldn't mind a pref to show votes by certain editors, selected by me, on the edit list

(with needing to go to the actual edit to see them all)

that's just needlessly complex, I think

Maybe

it's a really twiddly level of control that only AEs and other over-users like me would use :P

isn't that the case for pretty much everything in the advanced search? :P

Another thought

having automatic facts under edits might quite nice

for example, in merge release groups "Facts: * all release group artist credits are the same * all titles are identical * all release groups have matching types"

But I can see how it might be nice

"ERROR: column reference "status" is ambiguous", known issue?

yea, and fixed

sadly there's no work around, other than "wait for monday"

you can't search for an artist/label and provide a status too

okay, thanks. Monday's not too far.

Hrm, if you merge 2 separate release into one, there's no need to merge the release groups, is there?

I guess actually, it's more correct to do that than wait for them to be deleted

Well, you shouldn't force it for sure

there's a ticket about merging release groups

But the previous way, in which you chose whether to also enter a Merge RG edit, was kinda nice

that only showed up if there was only one release in the release group that would be merged, didn't it?

(which I guess makes sense, if there are others, you should go take a look and make sure they should be merged)

http://musicbrainz.org/edit/14978853 wtf, 1 yes vote - no user?

oh, there he is

that was odd...

Not today

Other day

I voted and it counted it but not my vote

uh. the library sent me like "oay becasue the stuf you lent is expired" @

but.. the library is closed becasue of the comc.. wtf am is supposed to do?

bomb not comc

break into the library?

i can't do that!

this isn't my fault

i mean, i didn't fuckign bomb anything

godmnit that guy

take it back once it's open again and explain that you couldn't bring it back sooner because it was closed

i wil sue anders breivik for 150 kr. he owes me for this bullshit :P

but the thing might not open for over months

it's already bee na month now and it hasn't open

Can't you take it to a different branch of the library?

i don't know wher those are and i suspect that the music would be bad to deliver or something

and well, i've had other things on my mind

Like, some libraries have a smaller library in each neighborhood

iknow there are some, but i have no idea wher those are

i can maybe ask the library at school altough they are unatached

Do they not have a drop box for after-hours?

hawke_, if it's closed because of a bomb, doubt that will matter

Are you guys familiar with the GRD? http://www.globalrepertoiredatabase.com/

wow

Amazon, EMI Music Publishing, iTunes, Nokia, PRS for Music, SACEM, STIM and Uni versal Music Publishin

And the website they come up with looks like that?

Indeed... though it looks like this will be a future central repository for works information

Although design of most works DBs is awful already

argh

offer of 300 quid to sell my pair of 1210s

Do i do it, or do I keep them!?

what do you need 300 quid for?

ocharles, if you need that, just do the MB job ruaok posted the other day

And get 500$

hah, indeed.

I was considering getting a nice belt driven table instead

ocharles.. hah. $500 for 1210s.. ....

it depends on whether you have made the transition to digital djing.

derwin: in the uk ebay, a pair will sell for about that much

and yes, I already have traktor scratch

I just don't dj at all atm

my 1200s are looking pretty g-d obsolete

esp. since I got a controller

they aren't good listening decks, there is too much rumble

if anything, I want to move to djing in ableton live

ocharles : all that torque comes from somewhere..

of course

ocharles you know djtechtools.com ?

nope

it is probably what you are looking for

I got one of their controllers, almost do not care about 1200s at all

despite huge record collection

i don't really dj at all these days, so probably not :)

but will keep it in mind

but I think I want a couple of nice general midi controllers (akai mpd32, etc) and to move to mixing in live

:(((

it seems the sansa clip+ i want doesn't exsist anymore now

which one do you want?:P

the sansa clip+ !

I know what it is, I have one, too

dude

but it still seems to be sold?
