nechto, I'd be happy if you would.

I can't read the language... I don't know if it's legit, or can't research it.

hmmmm... ok well thats not earth shattering to be without till fixed... time to purge forecast fox... and see what happens then...

I just see a person adding a freedb import, and not responding back which is rude

that to me isn't cool.. and I can see where things got to the heated debate they got. How others may not see it, and how .. well, as I said, I see it from a multitude of ways.

Nyght: no one asked for proof though. lyxx only asked if it's a compilation or not. he/she is a russian moderator by the way

yes I know they are.. and I realize no proof was requested

which is why I'm formulating.. trying to give grounds to give people the empowerment they need to better the database without jumping on people's toes.

I think I'll submit it to ruaok though, not the mailing list. Let him pick over it and pass it on as he desires to see what is thought before opening a huge debate again on the mailing list.

wb nechto

:)

and I think I am done for the night, I can't keep from yawning and can barely keep my eyes open. :(

G'night Nyght.

have nice sleep Nyght

welcome back teleGUISE

hola....

night teleGUISE.

Nyght is now known as NyghtMARE

oh... your leaving us for a minute...hour...a bit ;)

nyghtnyghtmare

um.. I think I'll sleep, I'm yawning to the point of tears at the corners of my eyes... but, if I don't you'll see me in a bit I'm sure.

you cant stay away long.... i know it

inhouseuk?

nechto13: so you go to fry's get?

s/get/yet

hiya Joan

hiya Martin

teleGUISE: no. will do so either today or tomorrow

hello Joan

morning tele - what's wrong with the abstain button

nechto13: i'm gonna keep buggin' ya until you do... so you don't brush it off :)

morning yllona

hello ev'ry body

morning Joan

hi joan

Joan: it appears that once you abstain... your vote regardless of being changed to a Yes or No... (No seems to be confirmed) does not subtract from you abstain total.. it looks like though it does add to the No total (in this case)

morning nechto

how's it going yllona?

good, i'm visiting friends and they set up a computer for me :)

okay - feel free to experiment with any of my mods and I agree with you - that R Kelly one is junk

Joan: other then not wanting to add to your bad count... i figured that release was of no importance anyway.. its some mixtape mess

don't worry - I have only got 11 failed votes - one more is not going to change the world

mixtapes have come back into vogue for hip-hop. many artists are releasing on mixtape again (jay-z, pahrell, etc)

these mixtapes.. seem like basement basics though

yep. that's old skool. buy cassettes on the strett corner :)

dont appear to be professional at all.. kind of like someone with a tape dubbing machine and a some spare time

yes. that's the way it used to work.

in otherwords, home made - so why are we allowing them

yllona: that was very nice of them. i'd never be able to ask my friends to do do that when i'm visiting. kind of hoping they'll read my mind :)

nechto13: once you're older your friends will learn to accomodate you ;)

joan: home made tapes is the way that rap / hip-hop started.

grandmaster flash, kurtis blow, run dmc . they all peddled home made tapes

that's why mixtapes have begun again. there's a movement to clarify hip-hop by retrning to it's roots.

this is a DJ va mixtape... basically a brewed comp with DJ voice overs...

yllona: they already make up all kinds of schedules to show me all the sights, i haven't seen. i think asking for a computer set up would be sort of pushing it :P

my views on hip-hop/rap are well known - I detest it - after a while it all starts to sound the same - there doesn't seem to be anything original any more

nechto13: i didn't ask. they just dragged an old PC out of the garage and hooked it into the network

yllona: they're not certified computer geeks are they? =)

you need to make them certified MBrainz geeks though :)

joan: i agree, but i'm keeping an eye on the "return to mixtape" trend, could be something worthwhile. i'm a big fan of the jazz/rap collective work in the early '90's. digable planets, de la soul, pharcyde, US3, etc.

tele: i'm getting there, they've already set up last.fm accounts, and now they need to stream last.fm thru out the house on the fancy networked stereo system.

hi ruaok

martin: all you need is a network connection and a CRT... that's it

hi nikki_ !

'lo ru

nikki - I didn't know you were there - good morning

heya yllona !

yllona: I've broken all my old ones (CRTs) I think, though... =)

I just stumbled out of bed

so hi joan

I am just about to stumble back - I just got distracted by a lone message from tele on my screen when I passed it on the way to the bathroom

martin: any monitor will do, if you're in a bind, an old TV will do the trick ;)

hello ruaok, how's your day?

G'day ruoak.

erm. a little tipsy.

something about a cinco de mayo party at a viennese restaurant.

there may or may not have been 3+L of beer.

what's the deal with the 5th of may?

and mariachis played by a polka band.

pretty weird, really.

international webcomics day! =)

mexician independence day.

time to drink tequila.

err...

do people hate mexico that much?

mariachis by a polka band, that's a good one, ruaok :P

do you celebrate every national day - if you do, permanent hangover

nikki_: no, its a celebration. everyone near mexico celebrates it.

nechto13: it was fun, gotta admit.

and everyone not near mexico

well, I can't judge that. I'm near .mx

I will go with my friends explanation that they like celebrating and leave it at that.

nikki - he is only a couple of hundred miles from the Mexican border - that's near in American terms

340 miles to be precise.

Joan_W: my friend in nebraska isn't near mexico...

unless nebraska has moved

and yes, by US standards that's close

and does your friend celebrate as well

hey nikki - maybe we ought to start celebrating french, german, dutch and belgian national day. We already celebrate St. Patricks

nikki_: i think most immigrants from mexico living in US would celebrate it

nechto13: but I thought ruaok was *german*, not *mexican* :P

...and who wouldn't make use of agood excuse to party? =)

nikki_: that's what made today so funny!

nikki_: i'm not mexican, but i will be celebrating it with my mexican friends tomorrow :P

Joan_W: shhhh! we don't need to give people any more reasons to be drunken louts

in Barnsley, they don't need excuses - they just are

nikki - save your fingers - drop the _W

but I just press j and press tab and it completes it for me :)

Joan_W, but 'J\t' is shorter than 'Joan'. =)

...although I can't say I use nick completion much...

nikki_: russian joke: a man tells his wife that he will quit drinking and will drink only on holidays or when he goes to the bath house (russian tradition). next day. he askes her: Is today a holiday? She says: No, on which he replies: then i'm going to the bath house

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de_mayo hmmmm!

nechto13: heh. =)

hehe

Okay, it's Saturday morning 7.30 a.m. Nobody in their right mind should be looking at a computer screen at this time on a Saturday when they could be in bed - so as I am in my right mind (sometimes debatable) I am going back to bed

enjoy resting!

give the kitties a stroke from me :)

I will and they will enjoy it

G'night Joan.

morning Martin

rest well Joan

nechto13: most traditional mexican music is based on the german model :0

yllona: umm, german model?

oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah

nechto13: german folk song

there's a huge number of german immigrants in mexico during the 19th century
