didn't we do that a while back?

google maps doesn't recognize kosovo yet.

anyway, it'd probably take a few months before any codes are assigned

iirc, when serbia and montenegro split it was june and they didn't get codes until september

mbdb5=> select * from country where isocode = 'ME';

247 | ME | Montenegro

ahh

oh, that's a thing

the languages list needs updating

do I just create a list of sql update thingies and send it to you?

they added swiss german :D

sure.

wha? thats odd.

swiss german is now a language? there are like 100 different types of swiss german and there's no gramar and no dictionary

ding!

that doesn't mean it's the same as hochdeutsch

but the grammar is the same.

well swiss people do use hochdeutsch as the official language

well there are small differences. like there's no ß in switzerland

well, effectively, norwegian = danish = swedish and croatian = bosnian = serbian = montenegrin and czech = slovak

but from what I've heard, people who don't speak swiss german have a hell of a time understanding people who are speaking it

true

hand

understanding keschte was always challenging

what is keschte

it doesn't really matter that there's no formal version, they just decided that it's distinct enough from hochdeutsch to count separately

ah

he was speaking swiss german in here?

well, just german.

his typing did sound a little funky though. :)

gel?

^^

It's funny, I have a hard time understanding the lyrics of "Generals" on Take London... but it seems like other people do, too http://lyricwiki.org/The_Herbaliser:Generals

I wish we had iso 639-3, then I could set albums to kölsch... but iso 639-3 is so bloody big, even I haven't heard of most of the stuff in it

ick.

kölsch, the beer, is nasty.

"set albums to kölsch" ?

"to make a drinking song"

I think is what she means.

neeeein! the dialect

"schenke ein, schenke ein, schenke ein...*

I can't make beer out of CDs!

leider leider...

but you can use them as bierdeckel

...and put a straw through the hole

have you seen that before?

never seen that... there's a funny thing like that for switzerland, too

speaking of bierdeckel: http://www.philhist.uni-augsburg.de/lehrstuehle...

bierplattl :) cute

by the way, in taht chuchichäschtli-orakel, you would supposedly enter the word closest to you spoken dialect... but some of the words I use aren't even in there... Still, the orakel is quite accurate ^^

ruaok!

noes

see when you mentioned the band thing

ruaokquick question -- what is the current convention to handle this: "Some bands have dates like "1965-1972, 2003+", ...

this is something i really want to talk to yo uabout

ya?

it would, seriously really be awsomly great to be able to have several date ranges fro bands

only bandsofcourse

understood.

because doing it with AR's and ignoring bits inside.. well its not really correct

understood.

first idea of the top of my head

Deep Purple

in order to do this right we need to have dates attributes on ARs.

stopped palying in uh was it dunno and reunited in '84

there are date atributes on ar's?

no

uh...

but there should be to fix this.

its even possible to add a date atribute to "dude perforemed trumped on album x"

ruaok..

there is

what do you mean?

right now we can only have a instrument/vocal type attribute on an AR.

we also need a date.

so we can say. dissoved in 2001. reformed in 2004

i think that in the artist itself. it can have a end and beginnig date

..

and the artist can say being in 1980, end 2007

do you eman ar liek artist<->date

like artist<->album

no

......

but you *can* do that

yes

there *is* dates on ars

got link?

any ar dude

i do belive i am missunderstanding you

almost certainly

huh. so CatCat isn't a bot after all

funny ha ha

ruaok: http://musicbrainz.org/show/artist/relationship... lots of dates?

now explain what yo ureally meant :)

lol

wow. check it.

thats what i emant with only groups

I didn't realize luks added those.

we dont reanimate artists. yet :)

hah

dude, seriously.

you need to paly with the *data* alittle more :)

:p

i didn't mean it liek *that* :(

:(

uh, ruaok, if/when you reads the logs uh... what happened?

did the internet funk up or something? :(

I see you

o:O

uh...

catcat: that's nothing

hey ruaok, why doesn't /<?b?>/ work? Trying to match <b>, <br>, and </b>

should work.

grrr

<.b.>

but that could also match others that you may not want.

with unripe, rock hard pears too

#</?br?>#
