        thanks
      • yalaforge
        if someone wants to help with the faq, please join me in #asin-faq
      • inhouseuk
        ruaok: are the trivia bits in cvs
      • ruaok
        inhouseuk: no
      • yalaforge
        chocomo: would you please join us in #asin-faq?
      • inhouseuk
        okay, can you mail me a copy
      • ruaok
        its not linked and official because it not optimized and not memcached.
      • inhouseuk: ok
      • inhouseuk
        if I can get it running optimally on my lowish spec DB server, it will fly on the main one
      • nikki_ has no idea about memcached, but can add it to the trivia page later
      • nikki_ goes to do some homework
      • ruaok
        inhouseuk: should be on the way
      • inhouseuk
      • Muz
        Oh shit
      • Thanks a lot nikki
      • Muz needs to do homework for tomorrow and he was going to go crawl into bed in a bit :
      • chocomo plays Amish Paradise - "Weird Al" Yankovic (Bad Hair Day)
      • yalaforge likes that one
      • nikki_
        inhouseuk: I know what it is, I just never bothered to learn how to use it :)
      • yalaforge
        memcached?
      • inhouseuk
        oh, okay :)
      • nikki_
        yeah
      • yalaforge
        memcached is just set() and get(), basically
      • although the get() part doesn't always work :-)
      • ruaok
        by design. :)
      • yalaforge
        DB caches are too difficult for me. I won't touch them :-/
      • HairMetalAddict
        get(some) if (exists $girlfriend);
      • Shepard
        i guess perl would even accept this strange syntax
      • yalaforge
        yeah. although 'some' would *usually* be a syntax error
      • Shepard
        usually :)
      • yalaforge
        unless you 'use constant', IIRC
      • HairMetalAddict
        $* ;-)
      • nikki_
        I love that syntax
      • stinky hated it, so I would use it at every opportunity just to make him cringe at my code :D
      • HairMetalAddict
        Heh, I use similar if-statements regularly
      • nikki_ too
      • nikki_
        die unless is my favourite though
      • HairMetalAddict
        Hehe
      • inhouseuk
        nikki_: there is one problem using memcached on a replicated server. If something has changed, you might not always see the latest. Because replication applies changes directly to the DB, the cached value doesn't get updated.
      • nikki_ hasn't got memcached installed
      • nikki_
        which is partly why I haven't bothered to learn how it works :)
      • yalaforge
        then the get() and set() commands are no-ops, IIRC
      • dave wrote nice wrappers around memcached
      • nikki_
        didn't stop it spamming my apache logs :P
      • yalaforge
        you can turn it off, I think
      • nikki_
        hmm!
      • ruaok
        thanks for forming that insta-sub-committee... want another little job?
      • yalaforge
        me?
      • ruaok
        (to all the sub-committe people)
      • yalaforge
        nikki_: in DBDefs.pm: see CACHE_DEBUG
      • ahh
      • Shepard
        silence... :)
      • yalaforge
        depends on the job
      • ruaok
        we had a request for HTML bits to create a search box that people can use to search MB. Anyone want to create an HTML fragment that we can give people to include in their pages?
      • yalaforge
        yeah, sounds like a nice idea
      • chocomo
        like the external yahoo /google type search boxes peopel can put on their webpages?
      • Shepard has a html application search page for searching MB :D
      • yalaforge
        join me in #html-search ;-)
      • nikki_ thinks it should be nice valid xhtml, even if the rest of the web isn't
      • Shepard pulls out his sword and follows knight yalaforge
      • teleGUISE
        can someone try http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php to see if they get a mySQL too many connections error as well
      • chocomo
        works for me
      • inhouseuk
        teleGUISE: it works for me, but is very slow
      • a lot slower than normal
      • teleGUISE
        hmm.. well then they obviously are having issues.. still can't connect.. its been like this for the last 45minutes that I know of
      • Muz
        Shep, just like a tr00 Warrior of the World?
      • Hehehe Manowar XD
      • teleGUISE
        now I get can't establish a connection ff timeouts
      • Shepard
        Warriors of Light!
      • Muz
        But but but Manowar are tr00est of tr00, Other bands play, Manowar Kill!
      • teleGUISE
        always odd that overseas pipes work better than domestic-domestic many times
      • yeah...appears they are up and rollin again..
      • ruaok forages for food
      • ruaok
        WOW. The EFF sues AT&T: http://www.eff.org/legal/cases/att/
      • tru
        woha.
      • that's dynamite man.
      • ruaok LOVES the EFF
      • teleGUISE
        sbc/att off to a rocky start.. but when hasn't at&t been the center of attention
      • ruaok
        I hope that companies will soon think: "Oh, we can't do that. The EFF will come after us."
      • forget the govn't coming after you.
      • teleGUISE
        i'm sure verizon/mci will be next...
      • with those 2 you've covered I think 99% of all telecom traffic
      • it will be interesting to see how this pans out.. to see if it puts pressure on the big house for ordering it and as said 'letting the lawyers figure out what's legal and what's not'
      • pankkake
        I'll need some votes here so I could merge the album: http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=4182434
      • Shepard` joined the channel
      • Shepard has quit
      • Shepard`
        Shepard` is now known as Shepard
      • inhouseuk
        teleGUISE: the trouble is they will attempt to classify it as ethical in the interests of national security
      • inhouseuk thinks spying is spying no matter who does it
      • ojnkpjg
        spying is only spying if you get caught
      • yalaforge has quit
      • inhouseuk
        and they've been caught!
      • ojnkpjg
        i guess they were spying, then
      • teleGUISE
        inhouseuk: of course... though i think the % is decreasing with our tolerance to accepting that 'excuse' for everything
      • inhouseuk
        yes, the UK population is also going in that direction with some of the things the UK government is attempting to do as well
      • teleGUISE
        wonder at what point the term 'fishing' transformed from a recreational hobby of water/rod/hook/bait to a computer/land based activity
      • ojnkpjg
        i think when the f was replaced with the much cooler ph
      • it happened somewhere on AOL
      • around 1995
      • teleGUISE
        pankkake: you can put/post your merge edit
      • pankkake
        there was a problem because of the discid
      • teleGUISE
        h
      • pankkake
        "Error: these albums cannot be merged together, since they have disc IDs that belong to albums that have more or fewer than the 15 tracks that the merged album would have. "
      • teleGUISE
        oh... ok about 9 minutes from now you can post it ;)
      • ojnkpjg
        your clock is 3 minutes slow
      • teleGUISE
        no... im giving the server 3 minutes to perform the edit ;)
      • SenRepus
        hi tele
      • ojnkpjg
        oh, ok
      • SenRepus

      • teleGUISE

      • SenRepus
        i havent been in to check yesterday or today
      • teleGUISE

      • teleGUISE
        hey..hey... whats up with this better stuff :)
      • good now you can send me a stick of 256

      • ojnkpjg
        i bet someone just happens to have 4 sticks of registered ecc 256mb dimms lying around they have no use for
      • teleGUISE
        dont think anything over 512 will be noticeable on ME
      • SenRepus
        his 256s havent arrived yet either
      • teleGUISE
        hope he didnt send it priority mail!
      • SenRepus
        this just happend like saturday night
      • ojnkpjg
        oh, i need your address, too
      • to send that cd
      • teleGUISE
        seems like I should have just spent the $.39 instead of the $4.05 well $4.20 cuz I stuck an extra $1 stamp on a $3.20 metered
      • well his should have only took a day and mine 2.. so go to your damn mailbox!
      • SenRepus

      • SenRepus
        but seriously tele, i checked every day last week with high hopes and it nevershowed
      • no i broke my mouse after our last chat
      • i took it apart to try to make it work better and actually did the opposite
      • teleGUISE

      • inhouseuk
        poor mouse, you killed it :(
      • SenRepus
        im old school
      • teleGUISE
        how the heck can you kill an old skool 'moose' ?
      • SenRepus
        well, when i was little i took apart a copy machine for some guy
      • and he payed me for all the switches i could find in it
      • so i figured that the switches in a mouse were just like the ones in that machine only smaller
      • but they werent
      • ruaok
        teleGUISE: I still have a stick of 256 if you want it.
      • teleGUISE
