        I can't believe I've played about 15 hours of Team Fortress today...
      • my heart seems to be racing at 200bpm...
      • warp home!
      • ruaok
        warp: just now?
      • warp
        yes
      • pretty decent considering i'm coming home from a concert in amsterdam.
      • usually that means around 5:00am, it's just 2:00am now.
      • ruaok
        nice.
      • who was playing?
      • warp
        portishead :D
      • ruaok
        ARG!
      • deadchip
        aaaaaaaah!
      • ruaok hates warp
      • BrianG
        !!
      • warp
        was nice to finally see them live :)
      • ruaok
        they were the best concert I've EVER seen.
      • MBChatLogger: off
      • MBChatLogger
        is not logging
      • is logging
      • deadchip
        yeah me too i can't wait
      • warp
        ruaok: haven't heard it yet, apparantly the leaks are dodgy so i didn't dare listen to it.
      • ruaok
        a couple of tracks are cut off at the end.
      • deadchip
        they already were in berlin but i didn't manage to get a ticket
      • ruaok
        but other than that the sound quality is acceptable.
      • ruaok waits for the US tour
      • warp
        they botched up the limited edition box
      • (IMO)
      • ruaok
        outside of coachella mind you.
      • why?
      • deadchip
        what's the problem with it?
      • ruaok queues up Third
      • warp
        ruaok: music on two media: 2x vinyl, 1x usb stick with mp3s.
      • deadchip
        no CD?
      • warp
        no cd.
      • deadchip
        o_O
      • ruaok
        feh. I won't be buying that.
      • deadchip
        that sucks
      • warp
        i don't mind that much, i just refuse to pay for fucking em pee threes.
      • now i'm waiting to see if the japanese release will have an interesting bonus track or not.
      • deadchip
        that's a PR stunt from their label fo sho
      • ruaok
        actually I would buy it.
      • just to "support" them a bit.
      • BrianG
        i would buy it
      • ruaok
        and then I would set it on my shelf and never open it.
      • deadchip
        i wouldn't buy it without CD
      • BrianG
        just for the P usb drive
      • ruaok
        yes, that is true.
      • can you buy online?
      • deadchip
        CDs are my favorite medium really
      • BrianFreud
        still trying to get rid of most of my old vinyl... don't need more...
      • deadchip
        ruaok, yeah but not yet
      • warp
        ruaok: i expect the limited edition is sold out by now.
      • BrianG
        did last.fm end their play any song 3 times thing?
      • warp
        maybe not
      • ruaok just found it
      • ruaok
        fuck. 40 quid.
      • deadchip
        ah the limited box online buyin
      • lol didn't you want to support them
      • ruaok
        Oh, I can have it shipped to my friends place in london and pick it up when I get there a week later.
      • I'll support them.
      • Nope. fuck that.
      • MBChatLogger
        Down with DRM!
      • ruaok
        "IMPORTANT: If you order includes an audio download; This download is in a DRM protected WMA format."
      • warp
        ruaok: that's only the download.
      • deadchip
        blaah
      • ruaok
        I am *NOT* paying for anything DRM. Even if I wasn't going to listen to it.
      • fukkers.
      • warp
        ruaok: the USB stick is non-drm mp3.
      • ruaok closes the tab.
      • deadchip
        see me bloak like sheep
      • yeah especially if not
      • you might open the box in 50 yeats
      • ruaok
        warp: understood. its the principle.
      • deadchip
        years
      • and then nothing will play it
      • ruaok
        lol
      • warp
        ruaok: ok, in that case, yay!
      • ruaok is stil torn though
      • deadchip puts on natalie imbruglia
      • deadchip
        la la la la.. torn
      • or sth
      • warp
        ruaok: just buy the regular cd when it's in the shops.
      • deadchip
        i've pre ordered it
      • ruaok
        yeah.
      • ruaok wants the P drive
      • BrianFreud wants his reel-to-reel special edition version
      • deadchip
        CD prices are still extremely high
      • 14,95 is a ripoff
      • warp
        deadchip: they are?
      • deadchip
        i think so
      • 15 EUR for a CD is still high
      • 10 would be ok
      • warp
        seems decent to me, it used to be more.
      • deadchip
        yeah it used to be even more that's true
      • warp
        (granted, i have the benefit of finally having a decent income again)
      • deadchip
        that's not the point, even if i was a millionaire i'd complain :P
      • warp
        i sort of got into the habit of buying cds and such again with the radiohead discbox.
      • deadchip
        nothing need to be too expensive
      • i just suspect that of the 15 EUR, portishead gets 5 if even
      • if a CD cost 10 and they'd get 7 that'd be fair
      • warp
        yeah, it's weird that they stayed with universal.
      • deadchip
        yeah that kinda striked me as odd when i read it
      • warp
        oh well, their choice. they already got my money through the concert :)
      • (i'll end up buying the cd ofcourse)
      • BrianFreud
        deadchip: using Albini's math, I'd be surprised if they see $0.70 of that $15
      • deadchip
        i could have won a ticket for berlin but i answered the question wrong
      • i called the live album "Roseland NYC" but it's called PYNC
      • NYC*
      • warp
        deadchip: :(
      • ruaok
        deadchip: that's not what it is listed as in MB.
      • deadchip
        damn it's cold this night
      • ruaok
        everywhere I've seen it called Roseland NYC.
      • deadchip
        hah
      • then i was right
      • so i just didn't _win_
      • heh
      • warp
        it has PNYC on the cover
      • it also has portishead - roseland nyc live on the cover
      • and both are on the spine too.
      • atleast on my vinyl copy.
      • deadchip
        my CDs being in my basement for a long time since i moved i couldn't check
      • i could have checked online but i just typed it in
      • warp
        PNYC seems more like a logo than an actual title.
      • ruaok
        agreed.
      • zoke
        can genpuid check subfolders ?
      • deadchip
        there's one.. uh the logger is on, nvm ;)
      • zoke, write a script
      • zoke
        argh, batch scripting
      • warp
        the DVD only has that PNYC logo on the spine, and 'portishead - roseland new york' on the cover (in addition to the logo thingy)
      • deadchip
        batch as in .bat files?
      • use 4NT...
      • warp
        woha, 4dos still exists?
      • zoke
        deadchip, what is 4NT
      • deadchip
        i don't know but i've used it as long as i've used windows
      • zoke, it's an alternative shell
      • with improved scripting
      • zoke
        oh no no no, no more alernative shells for me, I've had enough
      • deadchip
        or use M$ PowerShell!
      • zoke
        maybe I'll just look at Powershell
      • BrianFreud
        litestep :D
      • warp
        zake: you could also look into using the 'windows scripting host' and write your script in vbscript, javascript, or whatever other languages are supported by i t.
      • deadchip
        zoke, just mind that if you use PowerShell you'll be paying a yearly license fee for every command you want to use
      • "Scripting Halted. Please license the "Print" command."
      • zoke
        =\
      • perhaps I should make it a little project for me to make genpuid more useful
      • warp
        i assume you've already considered switching to linux or mac? ;)
      • nikki is glad she has bash and perl and stuff on her computers
      • deadchip
        yeah use a real non-toy OS
      • zoke
        I have cygwin, and perl and stuff here
