where did you get that URL from?

I clicked on an image on an article.

They're links to their Image: page.

everytime you look you find a new thing to break. :-(

Sorry :(

can you spent a little time and a list of things that are broken? :-)

lol

I really need to get past wikidocs in one fell swoop and get on to other bugs.

mention the redirect issue and the image link issue in a bug report to me please.

The User: namespace is alro broken.

Okay

set the ISRC/release groups milestone and assign it to me.

thanks.

I found a bug with track, one can't login from the /newticket page, you get redirected back to /newticket, but it's as if the server ignored your login request.

s/track/trac/

Which compoment should I use? Documentation?

there is a wikidocs componen

t

Ah, didn't scroll down far enough.

does anyone know a good example where a release group should have a bunch of releases?

Weezer

They have ~10 of the same album.

thx

which one?

I wonder if the merging of release groups for normal data quality artists should be an auto edit...

Maybe a low qualityish edit? So 1 vote needed.

that sounds good too

1 blog post, 11 links. :)

heh I have 10 links in my track ticket, and it won't let me submit it.

Spammer!

split the ticket in half....

err 2

Annnd great, I somehow got logged out :/

trac ditches spammers. :)

lol

Damn trac

You should have linked to http://test.musicbrainz.org/release-group/4c9d6... instead :p

Instead of Maladroit

oh, damn.

navap probably meant ' The wikidoc link points to musicbrainz.org, should it point to test? '

The wikidoc link points to mb.org, should it point to test?

the link at the bottom of the page?

No, I meant in the blog post.

"Our WikiDocs system now uses our new Mediawiki" but it links to mb not test.

And mb doesn't use mediawiki, does it?

thats just to define the term WikiDodcs...

Oh okay.

acid2: ping!

pong!

our accountants are making me pick server names before I account for them.

in other words, stop slacking or pass the buck.

any cartoon character name ought to do. as long as its not ass to spell.

heh Too hard to spell maybe

lol

tchaiskowsky.

hrm

cartooooon

chaikowsky.

we'd NEVER be able to log in.

"The 1812 overture man"

haha

ALIAS t

Dmitri_Dmitriyevich_Shostakovich

perfect

which servers do we have atm?

shooshkadoozsky! my fave!

lol

zim, stimpy, bender, moose, wiley, carman, dexter, carl, lenny, jem, misty, scooby, blik

cartman

hum hum hum

Maaario

ooh!

I think tails

that's be a new one.

from what?

sonic

it was a cartoon too!

ok.

what's this server for?

web front end.

that will double our capacity.

swet

then with the new search servers we should have plenty of capacity.

tails double sonics capability, so that's appropriate :P

lol

should arrive tomorrow.

nice, what specs?

2.3ghz

nice

I keep saying I'd want one for my office, but shit, what would I do with it?

I have a quad core box and even that I cant tax fully.

Raid-2?

typo. 1

Ah

raid is not very important since this machine only keeps logs.

so we went with SATA vs SCSI

the only place where drives matter are in the DB server.

more fast spindles == better

plug I can buy replacement sata drives here in town.

I want you to name one of the servers 12ozmouse :)

next server you get the priviledge.

whats that reference from ?

well, it's called "12 oz mouse", believe it or not

beer-drinking, porn-filming, people-killing mouse

look it up on youtube

terrible cartoon

lol

everyone from williams street should be shot

people must have had a lot of weed

what kind of unicode normalization does musicbrainz do?

everything they amke is horrible

er, make

normalization?

http://neuwanstein.fw.hu/primer_timeline.html no wonder that film was damn confusing

ruaok: yeah, like NFC/NFD/NKFC/NKFD/blah/blah

or isn't there any?

I guess that is the answer. :)

we take what comes from the web and we try to regurgitate it back the same way we got it.

hrm

so in theory i could add three different artists whose name appear the same but don't compare equally?

not certain. I'm not sure that Postgres doesn't do that.

Lucene probably low-asciis everything.

no

it unaccents.

ruaok: okay, thanks, i'll dig deeper

np

I would suspect that PG has to do that in order to get its collating right.

then we can just blame the smurfing smurf for smurfing up when it tries to smurf

Clint: I looked into Unicode normalization a while back, and as far as I could see from tests, Postgres, as used by MB, doesn't do any normalization at all; if it goes in as normalized NFC, it comes out NFC. If it goes in NFD, it comes out NFD. etc.

someone got a link that defined NFC/NFD?

in a nutshell, NFC - char with accent is stored as the accented char. NFD, char with accent is stored as <base char>+<modifier char(s)>
