I value the little sanity I have left

hmm. signwriting isn't in unicode, and requires special support to display symbols in the spacially correct place, so musicbrainz couldn't easily support it :/

it needs vertical text, so that rules out everything except IE, doesn't it?

kepstin-laptop: we can't even support Hebrew correctly

So… not surprising

‏testing something.

hmm.

w/e, that didn't do anything useful :)

what about braille?

braille is in unicode

any releases rih braille?

⠫⠣

with*

CatCat: starting up my server to check, but I'd guess not

nope, none in braille

hn

doubt it

as of my dump, which is admittedly a few weeks old, but still

there must exist atleast one release with braille tracklist

CatCat: I'm sure there is, find it and add it :D

Maybe a cardboard sleeve

it's like rule 34 of musicbrainz.. if yo ucan think it ther is a tracklist with those symbols

Oh, crap, we don't support those! :D

http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=script%3ABr..., also

tsk

bah

the script isn't braille, so no

aw i was sure this would be it http://www.blindiforthekids.com/2009/08/blind-i...

:(

ahh

bed time for me. natta all

nikki: am I right that you're one of the people who cares about the rate-of-change graph stuff?

yes

okay

so

should I do that as a second graph, showing the rates of change for everything that's selected on the main graph

or should I put it into the same graph, and have there be two checkboxes per entity/line?

hm...

I would probably say the latter right now, but I guess I wouldn't really know unless I played with it

(the former being much easier, of course, but the latter provides more flexibility... the question is if the scales will match up nicely)

(and we haven't had rate of change graphs since all graphs were separate)

yeah, I know

so it's not like I have any previous experience to think about

I think luks also wanted them

yeah

I guess the question is what would you want to compare rates of change _with_

ianmcorvidae: you know what we need?

A timeline graph for the number of entities we have graphs for!

:D

haha

I think I wouldn't really be comparing it with anything

hm, okay

that suggests putting it on a second graph

since that's easier to implement :P

yes, I definitely wanted them :)

second graph makes sense, because the scales are totally different

okay, sounds good to me :)

kepstin-laptop: btw, are you going to send an rfv for the homepage thing?

you got your +1 after all

fuck. ran out of diskspace on the VM again. :-(

ianmcorvidae: you could also just add a single checkbox that toggles between normal and rate of change views

tungolcraft: that's fundamentally the same as making two graphs

yeah

as far as what I'm doing right now goes

I can easily do that later :P

interface issue

Heh, I wonder what name is the most common in MB.

artist name?

There are apparently 7 david campbells

yeah

my WD Live HD Plus box is nice, but it doesn't scrobble ;)

heh

hawke_: check for John Williams, there are also a lot

(if you mean people names)

If band names do, Void for example has lots

kepstin-laptop, SqueezeServer

kepstin-laptop: someone make my vinyl player scrobble

hmm. I wonder if this WD box can play the mp3 stream from that

reosarevok: using a microphone and echoprints?

:)

maybe chromaprints would work too, if you used a line-in

angel and nemesis both have 22 artists

alex and eclipse both have 20...

paul smith and john davis look like the most common proper names with 13 each

(followed by james brown and john williams both with 12...)

nikki: is that diacritic-dependant?

yes

Ok

that's identical names

Then there are more Angel than that if you ignore diacritics

:)

(and probably one more Nemesis)

hmm. looks like I can't use the WD TV Live box as a squeezebox client without rooting it :/

at which point I might as well just install mpd and scrobble natively ;)

Jesus christ the basic editor is SLOOW

hawke_: isn't everything?

reosarevok: eh?

like, everything in the RE is slow, isn't it?

Not only the basic tracklist

Oh. No, it’s fine if you use the advanced editor.

And I don’t mind if a page takes awhile to load

but when a simple text editor takes tens of seconds to display text I type?

That’s bad.

hawke_: that's because it's not a simple text editor

Which it *should* be

reosarevok: Depends on perspective. :-)

It's to a simple text form what MS Word to a text editor

hah

It tries to do too much too cleverly and it doesn't help

I’ll disagree there, given that it doesn’t do anything clever at all. :-p

I mean, yeah, there’s a little bit of parsing to generate the preview on the right

Yeah, that's what I mean

But as far as I can tell it must do it much too often and must be doing something ridiculously badly.

it can’t be that hard to split on a dash, can it? :-p

(and drop a number off the first position, if appropriate)

hawke_: what it does ridiculously badly is parsing all the time instead of waiting for you to tell it "ok, now go and parse"

Even if it parses on every keystroke, split("-") is *not* that heavy-duty.

And yeah, it needs to do a bit more than that, I’m sure.

I honestly don’t understand why the basic editor exists as such

copy/pasting field by field from a text tracklisting is less frustrating.

But that's why I want a parser

Not this :)

reosarevok: Yeah, I’d rather have the advanced editor by default

and then have a “import from text" feature which brings up the “basic” editor.

you know what someone should make? a userscript that adds an optionally viewable parser box to the advanced editor, then fills in the fields from it when you hit parse :)

I wonder if you can read from the clipboard in javascript nowadays - if so, it could just be a single button "parse from clipboard"

kepstin-laptop: no, it couldn't

bandcamp, itunes, etc give you the data formatted in lots of lines
