        lol, agreed - if I could set this properly, it'd be something like "Source Material"/"Professional"

      • yllona
        yeah, that's where the real sustainable income is delivered.

        • 2007-07-04 18558, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        it's the music equivalent of enterprise-grade software

        • 2007-07-04 18507, 2007

      • yllona
        absolutely

        • 2007-07-04 18511, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        it just doesn't quite fit the classes we use for commerical music

        • 2007-07-04 18522, 2007

      • yllona
        i ahve a friend who's been hired to write/arrange music for one of the reality tv "dancing shows... he delivered 400 charts last week

        • 2007-07-04 18506, 2007

      • drsaunde
        probably cheaper to hire someone to create original stuff than license other stuff

      • Citizen joined the channel

        • 2007-07-04 18523, 2007

      • yllona
        teh reason he was hired is that's his ability to write orchestrations on--demand is a dying skill.

        • 2007-07-04 18528, 2007

      • Citizen
        hi

        • 2007-07-04 18537, 2007

      • Citizen

        • 2007-07-04 18521, 2007

      • yllona
        my buddy began is his career in the 60's/70s -- teh glory days of the "variety show"

        http://faux.no-ip.biz/mbreports/mergeproblems2.php <-- right, fixed ui, fixed the speed down to 22s bulk data gathering and <1s per short page.

        • 2007-07-04 18548, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        No appologies for the poor quality of the php or the html it generates. :P

        • 2007-07-04 18555, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        still trying to load :D

        • 2007-07-04 18518, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        timing out on your server again FauxFaux

        • 2007-07-04 18541, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Can you use .py on Windows, or do you have to compile it or something?

        • 2007-07-04 18555, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        you can use it, just have to have the right version of python installed

        • 2007-07-04 18506, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Alright, thanks.

        • 2007-07-04 18525, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        like luks' puid script, it only works with 2.4, not 2.5

        • 2007-07-04 18517, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Exactly what I'm going to run. :)

        • 2007-07-04 18523, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        fun fun

        • 2007-07-04 18532, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        let me suggest, go back about 2 weeks in the chat logs

        • 2007-07-04 18545, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        Mo and myself and a few others had to fight with windows to get it working

        • 2007-07-04 18500, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        just about any possible error you could get is in those logs

        • 2007-07-04 18513, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        you also will need an installed copy of old picard

        • 2007-07-04 18536, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Hmm, I've got QT installed... Pretty sure I'm not going to do this right now in that case.

        • 2007-07-04 18549, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Probably going on a tagging rampage at some point. :P

        • 2007-07-04 18551, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        well, you need the puid generation libraries out of old picard

        • 2007-07-04 18516, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Ah, I think I read something about that.

        • 2007-07-04 18517, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        you can still be running QT - just need the old version around so you can snag the libraries you need

        • 2007-07-04 18549, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        or actually,

        • 2007-07-04 18512, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        if you can accept dcc, I can zip up the whole working directory, with the libs in place

        • 2007-07-04 18522, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        then all you need is python 2.4 installed, and you're set to go

        • 2007-07-04 18556, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        I think my router hates DCC, but you can try.

        • 2007-07-04 18517, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        ok, compressing now

        • 2007-07-04 18536, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        just unrar to some directory somewhere, and you ought to be ok

        • 2007-07-04 18551, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Alright, thanks a lot.

        • 2007-07-04 18554, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        np

        • 2007-07-04 18508, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        it's a mess to try and re-create

        • 2007-07-04 18509, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        lol

        • 2007-07-04 18529, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        :)

        • 2007-07-04 18529, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        BrianFreud: Hehe, my connection just went down, perfect timing. Okay now?

        • 2007-07-04 18554, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        SerialNumber: if it won't go through, I can just email it to you

        • 2007-07-04 18507, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        I think it's transferring now.

        • 2007-07-04 18516, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        yup there it goes :)

        • 2007-07-04 18520, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        FauxFaux: trying again

        • 2007-07-04 18529, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        timing out again :)

        • 2007-07-04 18531, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Might be that my ISP has done some changes. Before it seemed impossible to do anything DCC-related.

        • 2007-07-04 18509, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        BrianFreud: Sigh! Trouble-makers, the lot of you. :p

        • 2007-07-04 18513, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        lol

        • 2007-07-04 18554, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        Right, it's actually fixed this time, I actually bothered trying it externally. Damn powercuts. :(

        • 2007-07-04 18500, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        lol

        • 2007-07-04 18513, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        ooh, pretty :)

        • 2007-07-04 18529, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        Oh yeah, I'm not appologising for the style or design either. ;p

        • 2007-07-04 18538, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        hehe

        • 2007-07-04 18507, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        it's actually a whole lot easier to read than before

        • 2007-07-04 18516, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        That was the plan. :)

        • 2007-07-04 18538, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        Just a minor question...

        • 2007-07-04 18542, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        Artist name? :)

        • 2007-07-04 18557, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        Hah, I was just typing "No, you can't have the artist names.".

        • 2007-07-04 18501, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        haha

        • 2007-07-04 18501, 2007

      • FauxFaux -> add the artist names.

        • 2007-07-04 18527, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        See what you did now? It's all slow. :(

        • 2007-07-04 18541, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        SerialNumber: It doesn't matter where you put the directory, just unrar it somewhere. Call it from a command line, within that dir, with "pythonw puid_submit.py (path to music root folder)"

        • 2007-07-04 18500, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        Yeah, no, you can't have artist names. :p

        • 2007-07-04 18510, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        lol, ok

        • 2007-07-04 18515, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        not too big an issue anyhow

        • 2007-07-04 18527, 2007

      • Citizen has quit

        • 2007-07-04 18551, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        I thought only catgroove liked artist names, which is why I waited for him to go sleep. ¬_¬

        • 2007-07-04 18530, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        well, they're minor - the release is borked no matter who the artist is

        • 2007-07-04 18559, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        Do you remember the report I mentioned last night?

        • 2007-07-04 18513, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        I could change it to a big red X, but you may as well have the info there, imo. :)

        • 2007-07-04 18518, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        Ummm..

        • 2007-07-04 18525, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        lol

        • 2007-07-04 18541, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        some url fixes fail, even when voted or approved in

        • 2007-07-04 18549, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        Ah yeah, that one.

        • 2007-07-04 18504, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        say I have www.amazon.com/B00012345 and I fix it to www.amazon.com/product/gp/B00012345

        • 2007-07-04 18524, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        If there's already a url in the database with www.amazon.com/product/gp/B00012345, the edit will fail

        • 2007-07-04 18557, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        Indeed. I was thinking about it. :)

        • 2007-07-04 18508, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        that subgroup of urls needs to be removed and readded in order to be fixed

        • 2007-07-04 18518, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        right now, only auto-editors can tell which those are

        • 2007-07-04 18528, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        (fix, autoapprove, notice it's still borked)

        • 2007-07-04 18540, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        It's on my (previously empty) todo list, but now, sleep.

        • 2007-07-04 18545, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        lol, ok

        Read the first few lines of the .py file, SerialNumber.

        • 2007-07-04 18518, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        yes

        • 2007-07-04 18556, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Hmm... That's a pretty unsafe password, Brian. :)

        • 2007-07-04 18509, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        lol

        • 2007-07-04 18518, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        not used much

        • 2007-07-04 18509, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Since it has your password, I think I'll delete the one I uploaded and send a "clean" version

        • 2007-07-04 18530, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        lol, I changed the pw at MB anyhow :)

        • 2007-07-04 18539, 2007

        but thanks

        • 2007-07-04 18546, 2007

        BrianFreud: I wasn't really paying attention earlier, something like http://faux.no-ip.biz/mbreports/out.html (still generating)?

        • 2007-07-04 18556, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        That's literally "ASINs that exist in two or more urls".

        • 2007-07-04 18533, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        well, it's basically,

        • 2007-07-04 18500, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        take borked ASIN. Fix it. If "fixed ASIN" is already in the database as a different urlID, the edit to fix that ASIN will fail

        • 2007-07-04 18522, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        That's close enough to what the report shows, right? :p

        • 2007-07-04 18527, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        so it'd be a list of those borked ASINs which, if fixed, are already in the db

        • 2007-07-04 18534, 2007

      • BrianFreud opens report

        • 2007-07-04 18545, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        yup, that's it

        • 2007-07-04 18549, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        and the count's about right too

        • 2007-07-04 18559, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        Yes, it's /still/ generating. :p The count is the same as the badasins report,.

        • 2007-07-04 18508, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        that makes sense

        • 2007-07-04 18527, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        all the ones that survived both ojnkpkg and I going through all the bad asins and fixing them

        • 2007-07-04 18532, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        It's not the number of items that are going to appear on the page, as it does't knoiw htem yet. :)

        • 2007-07-04 18536, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        only the really borked ought to be left

      • SerialNumber
        Appears that my computer doesn't recognize the command pythonw... I should probably try after booting?

        • 2007-07-04 18532, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        did you install python for windows 2.4?

        • 2007-07-04 18545, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Yeah, I did.

        • 2007-07-04 18554, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Or 2.4.4

        • 2007-07-04 18504, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Might there be a difference between 2.4 and 2.4.4?

        • 2007-07-04 18506, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        try using c:\Python24\pythonw blah

        • 2007-07-04 18512, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        no, 2.4.4 is what I have

        • 2007-07-04 18521, 2007

      • SerialNumber
        Alright, I'll try.

        • 2007-07-04 18527, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        Logging off and logging back on again will do, or closing (hopefully just) all the command windows you have open.

        • 2007-07-04 18533, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        it may not have added itself to the system paths
