call me lazy

answer: not hard at all :P

ok

You can't be lazy if you're doing things the more complicated way :D

but you ought not gripe about it taking forever if you admit it's that way because you're lazy

it wouldn't have been complicated if the mods would have been voted through when I asked

everything would be ready now

it's a bit selfish to rely on others to do your bidding because you couldn't be bothered to do things the correct way first

well, I guess it was wrong for me to rely on you guys

obviously

nobody's going to vote yes on a wrong mod

it has been done before

ok, well, in any case, i don't think you have any justified complaint

think what you will, but I have asked favours like this before when converting from album to various, and this is the first time someone was so anal about it

you admit you entered mods that were wrong because you were too lazy to do it the right way

yes

ok.

:P

I'm lazy because it takes a lot more my time to import va album than to import single artist album, convert to va, not to move the tracks, and then move 4 tracks to correct artists

and you're selfish because you ask others to spend their time reviewing the mods so you can save yours, and you increase the pending mod queue by 6 instead of 1

and if any of them fails, you end up with bad data in the db

actually there would have been only 4 pending mods, because I would have asked a favour from automod to make the album-> va conversion, so I wouldn't have to wait for an hour to modbot close the mods.

oh and just so you know, this is the way that was proposed to me by automod last time I was whining about va conversion tediousness :D

who?

don't remember

well, it's a terrible suggestion

if you can't be bothered to do things correctly, don't do them at all, if you're going to complain later

I was making some ogre battle mod few months back. it's a three disc album with about 120 tracks in total for three artists. about 50% of the tracks are by one artist. can you imagine the work that it would be to go through 120 tracks one by one

this way I only had to change the artist in 60 tracks instead of 120.

and in the process introduce 61 points of failure

yes

but what should matter is that the data is correct now

not what it was before

because at the time you ask people to vote for you, there is no guarantee it will end up that way

what if you get some random no votes along the way

maybe on the ->VA mod

as I said, I would have asked a favour from automod to make the album-> va conversion, so I wouldn't have to wait for an hour to modbot close the mods

instead of 0

because you're lazy

and you complain

i agree that i can be tedious but, it's the way it is right now

everyone complains

How come I'm suddenly reminded of my ex-girlfriend?

i've spent enough time entering them to know

I still don't understand why does it matter what the data will be at some point. only thing that should matter is that the data will be correct in the end.

well, let me know when you've found a way to predict the future

I wasn't going to predict future. I expected people to vote yes based on the comment I made, and as the hour was almost up it would have passed at the hour. then I would have asked automod to make the ->va. and then move the couple traks to different artists. as I said before, it has been done before. I just hope that next time I ask a favour in these parts you are not here

i'd like to point out you got no yes votes on those wrong adds

and there's no reason to make it personal

I expect that there are no yes votes because you made such a big fuss out of it

i don't think you're in any epistemic position to have any justified belief of that sort

this is tiresome, though

you admit they're wrong

you admit it's because you're lazy

just save everybody the trouble and do it right

well, as I said, it has been done before, so I expected it to work this time as well

but I guess it all depends on the people who are active

last time it took 2 minutes to get the votes eventhough it was as wrong as this time

cretwit: "since MB is more anal-retentive than toddlers with OCD" bwaha! hilarious

aww luks: i think i made a mistake. i'll revert the mods :]

!!

luks: nice bug you found.

not sure how to attack that. :-(

what bug?

ah

if someone hacks the perl module to be a compliant sub-set of moin, we can probably patch this too.

but I'm not sure I want to patch the module just for this one little thing. ;(

is there some way how do disable CamelCase links in Text::WikiFormat?

yes.

but I really dig the links to the wiki.

I think that's a valuable feature.

yeah, but we can do [http://wiki.mb.org/BlaBla BlaBla] instead

awwww

lol

I've been askign for this since before they went live thank you thank you thnak you THANK YOU

best 10 lines of perl I've written in ages. :)

over the year i will go rent more music and now when i add the annotiations.. YAY newlines. amd bulleted lists!

<3333!!

chromatic fixed it?

_mo is now known as chocomo

he gets some choco to

everybody gets some choco

even the floor I'm about to was

i hate people voting no on mod without adding a note

you have to update the wiki pages about it then when it goes live :)

hmm!

when i click on preview in the annotation editor i get a Preview and a Summary Preview section and see no difference there...

how are they supposed to differ?

also the "Differences" section does not yet use the wiki syntax and so does not show newlines but that's ok i think :)

Shrike has joined #MusicBrainz

g0llum: i'm going to add the kathleen battle/wynton marsalils baroque duet with the disaster relief guidelines. give it a look over,and please also check my german spelling/punctuation

hi yllona

I'll correct the caps :)

thanks! and again the problem with track times off in the MB entry

and there no gaps between the tracks on teh CD (or LP)

clutcher needs to look over it for italian caps

so the disc IDs have ~4-5 second length diff than the total time on CD

i just re-ripped the CD also. my track times on rip match the times on CD

[Global Notice] Hi all. A few minutes ago, we experienced some server problems due to configuration issues with the current scale of spambot filtering. We've made configuration changes and we believe we should be in good shape. We'll keep you posted on anything further that may need to be done, and hopefully the issues are resolved for now.

[Global Notice] Thank for your patience, and thank you for using freenode. Have a great evening!

fuchs: I'm glad I'm not the only person annoyed by the single numbers :)

for this orchestra would the founded date be 1974 or 1979: "First organized at the Caramoor International Music Festival in the summer of 1979, the Orchestra evolved from the St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble, which was established in 1974 with Ensemble members forming the Orchestra's artistic core as principal players."

yllona: 1979
