even the band can't read the damn runes :)

The thing is though, he said that when you latinize their name it's normal to use Týr

Given that artist names are treated as the language they're meant to be in, and latin equivalents added as aliases and whatnot, surely the entry on MB should be the runes?

he consistently calls the runes 'the logo' and consistenly calls the name 'Týr'

"When writing in the latin alphabet, it is only natural to write Týr"

I do wonder what the original qustion was though

someone could email them again

The question I asked was short and to the point: "What do you guys consider to be the most correct spelling of your band name? "Týr" or "ᛏᛣᚱ" (the runes)?"

was the question

wow, i have a rune font

funkeh

I have runes somewhere in my fonts...

I'm only missing a handful of unicode characters now

unfortunately, they're being awkward sods and I can't find any fonts for them :(

next up on MB: An argument if we should include the lightning in ac/dc

there's no symbol in unicode for it anyway last I checked

⚡

Haha reminds me of the Simpsons episode

oh really :P

Where Lisa's running about spelling things, Otto asks her to spell AC/DC and he goes "Wrong, you forgot the lightning bolt!"

you could argue for weeks about whether it's the correct symbol though, since it's only in a logo

we could write and ask them

and then do the opposite :)

ugh, I am going to remove that annotation too. It's patently not correct, if we're still arguing about it.

http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/2167 <- does anyone else think this is a good idea?

well, not the popup bit, the other bit

I agree

I'm always surprised to find i have somehow opened up 6 tabs all with various different pages of the big vote search

yeah, I always open the approve links in new tabs then zoom through them (and trigger the damned too-fast-you-idiot thing)

then I have like 20 pages open and I get totally confused

I usually approve with the greasemonkey script

sometimes i want to check it first, or see if there's votes if it isn't a blindingly obvious one

or sometimes I flip through voting and open a bunch of tabs to approve, while still flipping through the search

I'd like to see current votes for edits when searching or browsing edits heh

I think that's on purpose, to stop sheep voting

MAke it an automod only thing then

lauri: well, it doesn't stop it, you can easily open the edit and see what other people voted

in some ways it would be more helpful, if you're voting yes and someone else voted no (or vice versa), it's probably worth a discussion

nikki: well it shows edit comments, so if someone made a comment it could show their vote at the time, if any

i approved a really obvious edit yesterday, only to find a no vote, and someone screaming at me for approving it in my inbox

and it was only a "vol 3" -> ", Volume 3" (didn't even occur to me to check for votes on it)

it's mb, no matter how right you are, you're wrong. And if you're already wrong, you're wrong in the wrong way.

they could make it an option... most people don't check the options :P

hmm... although I don't have a running server to test it with...

i could swear it used to show them

oh no, it shows them on the other voting list pages

like look at a single users, or edits for an album

it did used to, iirc

bwahaha

isn't MoMo one of the japanese soundtrack factories/groups/labels-with-pet-artists

no idea

[10:54] MuzzzMAke it an automod only thing then <-- agres with that

or an option

as said, most sheep don't check the options

SheepSheep

most sheep don't understand english, that's why :P

now now

english isnt it

MooseMoose

CatCat is now known as Muzzzz

:P

Muzzzz is now known as CatCat

i think many sheep understand english

but typing with hooves is difficult

It's the lack of opposeable thumbs

that too

*/T

hey! yllona!

^__^

time of day to you!

g'morning CatCat

it's almost 3am here

yep

i set up times wher you and rob are too

CatCat: yes that's a good site. i have the wold clock application on my Mac(s) for most of the cities in the MB community

*world clock

tell me tell me

hm, ww

http://musicbrainz.org/show/artist/?artistid=56... <--- disambig comment made of win

so now i know that oslo, stockholm and paris are in the same time zone

lauri: lol

lauri like krazykiwi or someone else?

hey warp

yes :)

hi!

lauri: good to see you, been a long tome

*time

also, oslo, stockholm and paris are in the same timezone, but pretty much on different planets :)

yeah, I've been out a bit, glad to be back though

lauri: went to my first H & M store in the US a couple weeks back. was tempting to call and ask for shopping advice

hehe

as long as the computers were working :)

lauri: was cool stuff, but couldn't compete for attention with the Macy's shoe... i'l have to go back another time ;)

oh trust me, if there was a macy's here, i'm sure that's where i'd be too

(although the last shoes i bought were.. yak hide winter boots)

*macy's shoe sale. was rather fantasatic

bought seven pairs of shoes, most at 40-50% off

or more

oh nice!

that's a lot of shoes.

there is never enough shoes warp

lauri: I would think places in central africa would seem more like different planets

let alone nice ones ¬_¬

lauri: i take you're familiar with zappos? i'm forbidden myself to visit that site -- i can only surf there once every 90 days

ahaha, yes, i know zappos

nikki: zappos is your friend

nikki: wear them out one pair at a time.

:P

nikki: they would last about 3 or 4 years.

but eleventy pairs iof boots

warp: i start a job next week that requires "corporate attire" thank god! i'm so tired of "business casual" that i could scream

yllona: haha

i'll probably never wear a suit.

yllona: I don't even really know what size I am in british shoes, let alone american ones...

wtf is "business casual" and "corporate attire"??

clothes catcat

psfh

nikki: zappos has a size converter IIRC

you know what i mean

depending on what shoes

i now take the same size shoes as my just-about-18yo, and my 9yo

i got a new pair for extra extra cheap thoguh

well, I don't know what size I really am in british shoes

I have everything from a 7 to a 10

they blink andhave pirates on them <3

which is highly entertaining if i don't put the lights on in the hall in the morning

CatCat: "corporate attire" is business suits/dresses/pantsuits (for women), more formal

nikki: measure your feet, zappos probably knows :)

lauri: haha

CatCat: business casual is skirts/blouses, slack and blue jeans

ahh
