i've never been to HSBC...but went to the old Aud a few times

before my time up here

Driving up from MD to your side, Buffalo was always that "blink and you miss it" alongside the highway

i also saw some baseball at the old War Memorial Stadium (since torn down) but right downtown

BrianFreud: lol re: philosophy...

Mission accomplished!

Okay, real question...

If artist credit is "Artist A or Artist B", how best to show in MB?

lol, the liner itself wasn't sure?

Nobody really knows who played bb during this session of 4 tracks.

The documentation (everywhere) is fuzzy on the subject.

I'd just put it in an annotation then

No definitive answers.

not credit either - 50/50 either by itself is wrong, 100% both at the same time is wrong.

Aaaalrighty then.

Bye ruaok...

I'm only moving over one screen. not going too far. :)

lol

Dual head rocks, man.

lol

Yahoo said no: http://yhoo.client.shareholder.com/press/releas...

ick. a hostile takeover is going to be BUTT UGLY.

yup

flickr aside, if yahoo goes away, not a great loss.

if M$ takes them over, I hope that the combined company flounders and makes itself irrelvant in a few months.

yahoo, no. All the users who tied themselves to free yahoo accounts...

google will be glad to add a few more gmail servers.

Does this sound like a reasonable policy to promote: Linking to a Wikipedia page should be for the language of the release.

no

sounds too restrictive

Does this sound like a reasonable policy to promote: Link to any damn language-version of a Wikipedia page you can find for the release!

yup

You can find other languages already reference in the Wikipedia page itself.

links to wikipedia, imho, are just like any other link or data. They ought to be considered solely with regards to themselves, not in connection with other data.

So, L-T-A-D-L-V-o-a-W-P-Y-C-F-f-t-R is seriously the better policy.

what if we say: "Prefer to link to WP pages in the language that matches the release. If not, anything is better than nothing"

ruaok: I can live with that.

works for me, though I don't see the harm in having multiple wiki links for one release

another good point

I find the redundancy and clutter repugnant.

That's friggin' nuts man.

:)

That's not proof of WP-ARs working.

it's an extreme case of every wikipedia having an entry, yes

but taken one by one, is any one of them incorrect data?

if you only allow the native language, then you'd use .de - and the BBC for example, would not have an english wikilink via MB that they could use

Nope.

And, yup.

MBChatLogger: bookmark

There is no log URI

MBChatLogger: on ?

windows == pure evil

Windoze

MBChatLogger: are you aware that SCO is dead in the water, Windows 7 will be a total rewrite (again), and that Gracenote is doomed to die a slow death, while George Bush will be leaving office soon, well timed for the Microsoft v Yahoo showdown to totally distract everyone from the RIAA and the MPAA?

I'm logging. Sorry, nothing found for 'are you aware that SCO is dead in the water, Windows 7 will be a total rewrite (again), and that Gracenote is doomed to die a slow death, while George Bush will be leaving office soon, well timed for the Microsoft v Yahoo showdown to totally distract everyone from the RIAA and the MPAA'

ROTFL!

lol

somehow I just get a perverse kick out of completely driving MBChatLogger nuts :P

I assure you that MBChatLogger is more sane than you are. :)

hehe

poor chatlogger. Wasn't it your teasing that did in Yaub?

lol

BrianFreud, the chatlogger bully

lol, all I said to yaub was !babelfish japanese english 重々しい

lol

crap.

I totally fucked up and installed 32 bit linux on 64 bit misty and jem.

ouch.

shit, it hurts when you kick yourself

is not logging

MBChatLogger: off

is logging

Can't say I've ever heard this before, but I like :)

The strangest hack clone I've ever seen: kingdomofloathing.com

wow: http://www.coverpop.com/whitney/whitneyChromati...

hmmm i've played with something like that before and you could edit the speed and dots

or maybe it was just the different variations

Pro.

BrianG: cosmic painter?

nah.. i was confusing moving the dots with the hand crank variation of that thing

yvesr_ is now known as yvesr

BrianG: lol

that would be an awesome GPS receiver hack

*that

tit for tat

tittslap

titty bingo?

BrianG: That would be great for geocaching.

pbryan: personally I add links for relevant languages (e.g band's native language, main country of release, plus english since it's the main mb language) but I wouldn't vote against any links with decent content

I would certainly have voted against http://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Amadeus_... because it's not much better than "there was a cool dude called mozart born in salzburg, austria who wrote loads of music"

I wouldn't vote against any link for Wikipedia entry.

Even if the page is stub, information can be added later.

Ok, now that I actually look at what you said, I agree in the sense that I don't know if adding links in multiple languages makes sense.

srotta: by that logic, we could add any webpage on the basis that information could be added later... we could even invent some wikipedia links in case someone decides to start that page :)

someone lists something as "will ship worldwide", I buy it and ask for the full total including shipping, then they say they can't ship it to me, then later enter an unpaid item dispute...

like I'm going to pay for something they won't send me ¬_¬...
