      • oh,
      • navap
        Yes
      • Windows though.
      • CatCat
        well there you go, you can configure opera ad finitum to look almost completely unlike
      • oh yea, now i see it
      • navap
        Thats the default look :p

      • CatCat
        cool!
      • that must be a relief
      • ruaok
        nice, Kerensky97
      • Kerensky97
        Yeah. It's not as nice and I think I get a $1 an hour pay cut; but right now I just don't want to be unemployed.
      • CatCat
        oh yea, that would suck
      • ruaok
        good thinking...
      • CatCat
        and especially at this time
      • CatCat hugs ruaok
      • Kerensky97
        I still have some debts hanging over me right now so I need steady income.

      • "Water Music" Suite No. [...] or Water Music Suite No. [...] ?
      • stillLotR
        stillLotR is now known as LotR
      • alastairp
        that's like going
      • Symphony No. 2 "Ressurection"
      • isn't it?
      • so I would do quotes
      • brianfreud
        xlotlu: I think that's cause we finally have 99.9% of things worked out :)
      • alastairp
        heh
      • xlotlu
        brianfreud: i bet you don't have haendel figured out :)
      • brianfreud
        :P
      • xlotlu
        alastairp: it's 3 suites, known together as the "water music"
      • brianfreud
        xlotlu: It's actually in CSG-works, specifically cause you mentioned that case last year :)
      • xlotlu
        hmm, maybe Suite "Water Music" No. 3
      • call me the cornercaser
      • alastairp
        or Suite No. 3 "Water Music"?
      • xlotlu
        that doesn't make sense... you'll have Suite No. 1 "Water Music", and 2 and 3
      • alastairp
        oh
      • the first watermusic suite
      • not the first suite, which was watermusic
      • xlotlu
        i think i put alastairp in an endless loop
      • alastairp
        bzzt
      • xlotlu
        now only if i could find that damned cd...
      • ruaok
        navap: in the spreadsheet, how do you set cells to be comma separated?
      • numbers in cells be comma sep?
      • navap
        Click the 123 button
      • Set it to rounded
      • warp
        hm, this is probably a bad idea: calling_package = inspect.stack()[3][4][0].split ()[1]
      • warp having a bit too much fun with python.
      • ruaok
        oh. rounded to int. got it.
      • navap: thanks for doing the leg work on this.
      • navap
        No problem :)
      • ruaok
        if you check out the spreadsheet now, its organized the way I want to present it.
      • navap
        Still need the monthes in red?
      • symphonick
        xlotlu: I like Water Music S. No. ...
      • ruaok
        those are the ones where I fudged the numbers.
      • so I want to leave those in red as a reminder
      • navap
        ah
      • xlotlu
        symphonick: i was just hitting "add release" :)
      • symphonick
        :)
      • navap
        ruaok: You can publish it, or export it as html if you want to use the table as is.
      • alastairp
        mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?
      • navap
        And you can delete the hit/hour data if you want, that was just me being bored.

        i wish i could mark a couple of artists for possible dupes
      • ruaok joined the channel
      • the_p has quit
      • but what i'd really like is saving an unfinished edit and coming back to it later...
      • adding a release is soooooo ungodly time consuming :/
      • pbryan
        xlotlu: Really?
      • Just titles, release artist.
      • Are you including ARs?
      • symphonick
        "Just titles", hey pbryan we're dealing with CSG here! ;-)
      • pbryan
        Oh, well, CSG is a different matter entirely.
      • Getting CSG right is soooooo ungodly time consuming :/
      • ;)
      • I have so many titles I haven't added because CSG is so difficult.
      • symphonick
        me too
      • xlotlu
        doing the same 20 checkboxes over and over for 5 artists sucks
      • ok, i'll do a javascript:void(select_all_checkboxes(where x > 5)) in the address bar.. but it still isn't funny
      • i want to open the track listing, draw an ellipsis around the 20 checkboxes, and search for/add the artists on the right side without leaving the page
      • .. and then select the AR type for each ofthem
      • ruaok
        ok, navap: you get to hear the numbers first.
      • symphonick
        Oh good, when is it ready?
      • navap
        ooh goodie
      • symphonick
        before or after NGS? :-(
      • ruaok
        in 2006 it cost us $17.56, 2007 $17.89 and 2008 $16.21 to serve out 1M "hits"
      • 2007 was slightly more expensive, but 2008 much better.
      • even though we spent $9k for hardware
      • so, if our cost per 1M is going down, then hardware expenditures are justified.
      • and appropriate. :)
      • navap
        Good to hear
      • pbryan groks the numbers...
      • pbryan
        Simple calculation based on elapsed time?
      • And hits during time?
      • ruaok
        for web service hits, we were: $30.58, $33.58, $26.58
      • xlotlu
        if only you could reduce the hits neeed to add a classical releas from 15 to 1... :)
      • ruaok
        pbryan: that's taking all the hits and deviding it by the amount of money spent operating the site.
      • pbryan
        Okay.
      • ruaok
        its inteded as a general metric of how expensive it its to host the site.
      • pbryan
        So, if WS were to get more popular than web site, their prices would be lower.
      • ruaok
        and how "efficient" we're doing it.
      • yep.
      • as we saw in 2008
      • I'm generally quite happy with those figures.
      • pbryan
        So, now you need to let me sponsor the first 1M hits per month. ;)
      • This hit, brought to you by: ________.
      • ruaok
        it shows that in 2007 we've had a little too much capacity, but in 2008 we were hitting the mark.
      • :-)
      • navap
        haha I'll get the second 1M
      • pbryan wonders how this can show capacity.
      • pbryan
        It shows you had higher expenditure.
      • ruaok
        it doesn't show capacity, but the ratio of hits vs capacity.
      • yes, higher expenditure, but even higher traffic.
      • which justifies expenditure.
      • let me start compiling the annual report blog post.
      • symphonick
        hey xlotlu, perhaps you can settle an argument?
      • xlotlu
        with a modic fee for legal counsel, of course :)
      • symphonick
        :)
      • I could pay in chocolate, but it of course depends on what your verdict will be ;-)
      • OK xlotlu, here
      • 's the deal:
