      • pjo has quit
      • Joan_W
        it is exceedingly quiet here tonight
      • ruaok returns from a looooong phone call
      • ruaok
        Nyght: can you clarify "community supporters"
      • support in code? docs? moderations? votes? money? sexual favors? chocolate?
      • Nyght
        ;) I don't want to clarify. I want it general and as broad as you feel it should be.
      • again, if there's clarification it leads to a hierarchy that I don't think is perhaps best.
      • Joan_W
        agreed - whilst programmers and developers are crucial, so are the foot soldiers
      • Nyght
        Just, a generalized highlight of those that aren't in the light enough, and should have a bit of light shone their way. Currently I have ruaok, luks, g0llum, donredman, yalaforge, shepard, and countless others that built the database, refine it and help make it a great place to visit and tweak.
      • but, I wanted to make a quick list of those people in this "summary" of the chat. Sorta highlight, and go on to the subject at hand. (and I don't want to leave anyone in specific out due to lack of knowledge on my part!)
      • Nyght tacks on teragon
      • mustaqila
        Night all
      • Nyght
        night muz
      • rest well
      • Joan_W
        night muz - sleep well
      • mustaqila
        Thanks Beth, and Joan
      • Joan_W
        nyght - don't forget nikki
      • Nyght
        I was thinking strongly of nikki, especially for her chocolate bribes and multi lingual abilities, and aesmodai? seems to work hand in hand with her
      • not positive on the spelling of that irc name's spelling.
      • ruaok
        Nyght: dave evans, who has written tons of code and is playing a major role on keeping our servers running needs to be added.
      • Nyght
        I don't currently know who sexual favors from from, save for my whippings. :D
      • ruaok
        reference the top moderators list, too, please.
      • Nyght
        thank you, yes, exactly, that type of thing I don't know about!
      • ruaok
        Nyght: that would be my GF. :-)
      • Joan_W
        then you need mudcrow and teleguise
      • ruaok
        here is anohter thought I've had, but lacked the time for it: a thank you blog
      • there are countless people that the MB community doesn't know about.
      • our board of directors.
      • mudcrow
        need me for what?
      • ruaok
        our lawyers.
      • Nyght
        That's sorta very minorly what this is.. and .. well, I can send it to you in email if you want a brief glimpse into it.
      • or, whatnot
      • ruaok
        people who have scavenged hardward for us.
      • Joan_W
        a top moderator mudcrow
      • Nyght
        and sorry.. I can't bring myself to thank the lawyers!
      • :D
      • ruaok
        Nyght: we have cool lawyers on our side.
      • Joan_W
        lawyers - bah
      • ruaok
        I used to think that too.
      • Joan_W
        no such thing as a cool lawyer
      • and if there is, they are an endangered species
      • ruaok
        But Dan Appleman, Fred von Lohmann, Randy Heinig are cool people who have put in serious hours for MB.
      • Nyght
        First of all, I would like to take the time to say thanks to ruaok, luks, g0llum, donredman, yalaforge, dave evans, shepard, teragon, nikki, the board of directors and those on the top moderators list (both voters and editors) as well as countless others that built the database, refine it and help make it a great place to visit and tweak.
      • ruaok
        Nyght: Tarragon
      • Nyght
        thanks!
      • Joan_W
        don't forget inhouse
      • ruaok
        for the board, link to: http://metabrainz.org/about/
      • Nyght adds those named to the list
      • here is a list of people that is seriously out of date:
      • Nyght
        okay, but can I insert html in the blog?
      • ruaok
        That page should go away and be replaced by the thank you blog.
      • Nyght: yes!
      • Nyght
        even as a response?
      • I'm not blog flagged.. or whatever that is.
      • ruaok
        huh?
      • you want posting privs on the blog?
      • I'll give you those.
      • Nyght
        If you want to give me those.
      • ruaok
        I need to add wolfsong, might as well add you at the same time.
      • Nyght
        Don made an opening post for me to do the overview on
      • ruaok
        pmsg me a login/passwd and I'll do it
      • Nyght
        :) okay, but as I said before, I can and will say shut the f--- up, if I get too heated.
      • Joan_W
        you are not nearly heated enough for that yet
      • Nyght
        no, and I try to walk into irc and get a more focal point before doing that.. but, I'm highly protective of people I feel are being snapped out at.
      • that's when my hackles raise
      • Joan_W
        what time is it where you are?
      • Nyght
        6:30
      • Joan_W
        in the evening
      • Nyght
        dinnertime, but the kiddos are being patient. :D
      • \yes
      • Joan_W
        1.33 a.m. on the 5th May here
      • so, that is why you are always just about to go to bed when I am getting up in the morning
      • Nyght
        ouch, you're past pumpkin time. Do you ahve tomorrow off?
      • yes, and if I can sleep, I do. ;)
      • Joan_W
        no - but I work voluntarily for our local council
      • when Jim and I got married in 2001 he insisted I gave us work, but it was driving me crazy sitting at home so now I sit on the Board of Directors for our local authority
      • gave up
      • Nyght
        well that's good for getting you out of the house and active. :)
      • I know it drives me crazy to work at the house and live here too.
      • Joan_W
        I thought it would be just one meeting a month - it has turned into about 10 - but as you say it keeps your mind active. I think that's why I came on here too. At times it seems like being at work.
      • ruaok
        Ok, time for me to go home.
      • back tomorrow, regular bat channel!
      • poof!
      • ruaok has quit
      • Joan_W
        nighr ruaok
      • I think it is probably time to go to bed and for you to feed the kids.
      • night beth
      • Joan_W has quit
      • Nyght
        sorry I missed you ruaok and Joan, rest well!
      • Disorganized has quit
      • ngw has quit
      • tro
        is a solo project a "group" or a "person"? does "person" imply a real name of the performer?
      • like, obviously "shania twain" is a person, but what about "pink"?
      • Nyght
        that's still "up in arms" in a lot of ways
      • tro
        oh good. person it is then :p
      • Nyght
        I feel they still fall under "person" others feel they fall under "group". Often times I feel it's best to leave them uncatagorized, others disagree
      • mudcrow
        person
      • depends
      • tro
        just sounds silly when you know that there's just one guy who plays/records/performs. like, there's NO ONE else involved
      • Nyght
        exactly mudcrow, it's a very debatable circumstance and very dependant on the fans, and the presentation.
      • usually it's best to put Pink is a performance name for "person"
      • mudcrow
        Duretti Column is one person, but could be described as a group as he uses guest muscians, same for current 93
      • Nyght
        it's bad, because person has a birthdate, and the person behind "pink" was born a lot earlier than their group Pink
      • nikki_ sighs
      • I'm beginning to think we have another signifyer.. person, group, one man show with guests during live performances. :D
      • or, elitest snob
      • or. debutante
      • or.. yeah, you get the idea. :D
      • mudcrow
        Nick Cave solo shows are billed as solo shows, yet he always has other musicians playing with him (usually The Dirty Three)
      • nikki_ can't sleep :(
      • poor nikki
      • nikki_
        I tossed and turned for an hour and a half
      • mudcrow
        I feel asleep earlier this evening and i'm now wide awake :(
      • inhouseuk was woken by kids breaking a "break glass" unit on the fire alarm in the apartment block
      • Nyght
        nikki, they suggest only remaining in bed for fifteen minutes, or a half an hour. So your body knows you mean to sleep when you lay down. (just a future suggestion for you from an insomniac. :D )
      • mudcrow
        凶暴患者病棟 could someone translate please
      • inhouseuk
        squiggle squiggle blob blob squiggle
      • mudcrow
        thanks inhouse :)
      • Nyght
        box box box. 6 of them in a row mudcrow
      • ;)
      • nikki_ agrees with inhouseuk
      • do you have an idea of what it's to signify?
      • what language I mean
      • mudcrow
        japanese
      • Nyght
        I have atrocious patient ward
      • Nyght laughs
      • nikki_
      • mudcrow
        thanks
      • chinese?
      • nikki_
        I don't know if it's japanese or chinese
      • could be either, I guess
      • mudcrow
        Violent Ward possibly?
      • Nyght
        chinese I got violent patient ward, or something, I'd have to look again.
      • violent patient disease tung
      • for chinese
      • and just patient ward for korean
      • nikki_
        it's not korean
      • Nyght
        so.. no clue.. those are from a beta conversion tool
      • nikki_
        bleh
      • I feel depressed
      • Nyght pouts for nikki's depression and offers chocolate
      • Nyght
        it's supposed to help!
      • nikki_
        not in this case :(
      • Nyght
        my cat just bit me..
      • nikki_ feels crap because it'll be her birthday soon and her goddamne family will want to take lots of pictures again
      • :(
      • Mmm, bright lights all around and always stand so they'll have the sun in their shots. ;)
      • nikki_
        last year I almost cried
