Hello! I have a bit of a problem... my album title is too long.

I abbreviated it, hoping to add an explanatory annotation, but it is long enough that it generates http 500 server error.

See http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/fcc30421-9...

Thanks for any help available.

(Then again, I guess the album title is a bit /absurdly/ long... :-P

Ah well. Looks like no-one's online and available right now... I'll wait and try again in the morning.

is ubuntu only capable of using picard version 0.11 right now?

Quantum[Nugget], there's a .deb for 0.12.

Can't remember where it's at, though.

hmm... k

ill look for it

thank you

i think i'll have to postpone that till tomorrow

Hello! An album title I am trying to add seems too long. I have abbreviated it, hoping to add an explanatory annotation, but I received an http 500 error. What should I do about this? Thanks!

kyan: i would suggest to try it again

herojoker: Adding the album name, or the annotation?

whatever gave you the error

Okay.

if the error always comes up after entering this particular input stay here

Okay.

I will comment again if it has an error. Thanks.

Still getting http 500.

kyan, what's the source of this title? I looked at the site that seems to be in question and I can't find it.

The website hasn't been updated lately.

I have the title because I run the website.

Ahh.

Exactly.

the database probably has a limit of 255 characters on release titles.

it may be that the front-end isn't checking that restriction properly, which would get you a 500.

Hmmm...

I know we fixed it for tracknames, but for release titles it wasn't that easy.. so hasn't been fixed yet.

As I said, the front-end limits the title, but it was adding an explanatory annotation that generated the 500.

oh, really? that shouldn't happen :)

It did. :-P

The release is at http://musicbrainz.org/release/cef7bfa8-dee0-45...

Probably the 500 prevented the session being closed.

lol, what a title

Looks like there are some compat. characters in there.:P

herojoker: Exactly. It's even more impressive when we see the whole thing. (It's a spoof of those other really long titles, like "marienbad my love" (the full title is 70pages long).) :-)

(I made the title by incorrectly parsing an html file as utf-16. :-)

That would explain the compat chars.

Yes. (No, the html file wasn't in utf-16. :-)

so you intentionally parsed a non-utf-16 html file as utf-16 text and used the whole result as a title for a release?

weird, just weird

Exactly.

As I said, it is intended as a parody.

i don't really get the intention of your page

everything seems so random

It is. It is spoofing things that seem like English but aren't.

See http://pastebin.com/RCAWf1qb for an example

(that's the title of a book)

I decided to imitate it.

but in a different way...

But! Back to the topic. What would you recommend for adding it?

as long as nobody knows, let's talk about your website

what is that character list good for?

Reference.

If one want's to know what all the characters used in Cyrillic are, one can use that list.

unfortunately one cannot see how they look like

That is one of my plans for the future.

The Unicode standard contains glyph examples of many of them.

any reason why Mongolian has not .txt extension?

*no

Yes, because I made a mistake. :-)

Fixed in my local copy; it will be in the next released version. Thanks for pointing that out.

in your calculator, section "Perimeter" you write "heighth", it should be "height"

ok

Kind of weird, I know, but I am a /very/ weird person. :-P

in "Assistance" you give the hint to make the window larger... but its size is fixed

Oops...

furthermore some text seems to be cut off there

I use a mac, so I don't usually do much testing of my software...

abbreviation for "not a n

:-P

...umber

BTW, if you don't find it useful, I recommend deleting the "Anoé-Tuizen" file from the character list (it's 511 MB, and will eat hard disc space ravenously)

hehe

Just be glad I didn't list all the neoglyphic charaacters. If I had, the file would have been ~10 petabytes.

or maybe fifteen; I can't remember...

the bottom right result window of your reference utility http://site.futuramerlin.com/1143.html does not work

~13.6 PB, to be exact.

hehe

The wiki was closed for a while.

I am planning to resurrect it sometime.

with such amounts of data one should consider to directly work with the packed data

in the character list?

I'm now ftping the wiki...

i mean if one should ever work with that hypothetical neoglyphic character list, the list itself should never be unpacked

the viewing application should be able to unpack it partially

true. I was thinking of using a script.

(to dynamically generate it based on the requested character range)

in your music directory http://site.futuramerlin.com/1981.html the letter T leads me to a browser based calculator

and some other links are entirely dead (server gives some alternatives though)

The latest version is http://pastebin.com/u95AzEqH

that's not in the latest *release*, though..

I'm removing the broken links now...

updated.

I think it's pretty bad when I have /this/ many problems in my website...

was anoé invented by you?

Yes. It's a conlang.

An /a priori/ conlang, to be specific.

(A conlang is a "constructed language", or an invented lnaguage.

sorry, language.

are there any further descriptions of that language?

Yes.

A main page of FrathWiki is available in anoé at http://wiki.frath.net/Main_Page/Ano%C3%A9

thx

You're welcome. :-) It's nice to know there's some interest in my -somewhat- highly random creations...

kyan: ping?
