sheesh, he's just a man, not a god :p

I meant in the "flee, flee" sort of "run, run!"

er, no in there.

oh :p

heh

wasn't he the one who wanted people to stop saying "linux" and start saying "gnu/linux"?

i dunno... is that a bad thing? :)

I don't see what's so evil about not having the gnu/

http://plug.org.in/pipermail/plug-mail/2001-Jul... -_-;

i wouldn't call that an unreasonable request, though

but how does calling it linux hurt the gnu project?

that i cannot answer, but i really don't see why either part should make such a big fuss out of it :)

I don't see how changing the name would make anyone seeing the name think "it's not just linux" either.

most people barely grasp the concept of linux without confusing them more.

down to 6 tabs :)

well, when you say "GNU/Linux" you also leave those people wondering what "GNU" is, instead of only what "Linux" is

is it still gnu/linux if it has non-free stuff?

sorry.

you can probably think of it as a politeness thingy, like in japanese. "gnu/linux" = sama while "linux" = san :D

but I don't call everyone sama.

i know :p

and neither do the japanese :P

nippon-export called me "vidar-sama"! =)

but you're not everyone!

I hate how some people whine and bitch about the mb data being incorrect, but don't fix it.

heh, that's pretty ironic

(or maybe moronic)

yeah.

and they complain that our system is too slow

whereas AS's voting is crap in comparison.

right, i've got a class now, apparently :\

aww

indeed

they're also convinced that mb automods can delete mods.

hmm, i couldn't find the room where i'm supposed to have that class :\

guess i should attend a bit more to school

but school is boring :\

:/

great... so far only 3 "trm collision" and 1 "unrecognized" of about 5150 tracks on my "fix that damned archive once and for all"-run

12250 tracks remaining

heh

all tracks would've been recognized if mb remembered old id's :)

hiya

Yo

Methinks we got a bonafide mental case: http://www.musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=2...

I was about to ask if someone was fucking with your artists :P

hehe, nope. Not that.

I don't know any of the bands on the album. ;-)

close enough though!

I'm not sure what the hell is going on thee

there.

Been busy getting the first release of my content management system out. *sigh*

That's where it started.

what... the...

Apparently this guy "owns the trademark" for "User", and wants to mark a bunch of stuff by another band of the same name as "not official"

-_-

I tried to tell him if that band has changed names, change the name of the band, but...

He's apparently too much of a (his mod name) to comprehend that.

:-P

what the hell is he going on about regarding hiding behind protocols?

aww my name seems so weird now

Uh, I have no idea.

I'm speechless.

it makes no sense.

it kinda reminds me of the person throwing a fit at audioscrobbler because people had listened to his music.

?

Musta missed that one.

someone found his name on audioscrobbler when googling for himself, and thought they were offerring downloads or something.

ah

took many attempts to explain it, too

somnolent is now known as somniloquy

of course... *sigh*

hehe

excellent

I remember that, it amused me at the time

there have also been people that thought the AS went through all their music files and uploaded any that weren't on AS to it so everyone could listen to them

o_O!

damn, and I thought I was paranoid.

that guy was one of them, almost

"So other people who have a windows media player plugin can listen to all the files on my computer? Is that correct?"

Oh dear Goddess... He's actually trying to change the name of "User" to the name the other band changed their name to.

Which will give all "his" albums the band's new name...

haha

...

Do we give out MB Bonehead of the Year awards? Dude's jockeying for #1 position...

http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/Ayari/ why do people put the artists they listen to in their description... if you look a nother 1/4th of the way down the page there they all are anyway...

I don't know.

http://www.musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=2... <-- Sortname mod change

http://www.musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=1... <- this is my favourite mod (the artist at the time was "BBC Sound Effects Library")

that's beautiful ;_;

and when did you change your name on there?

earlier

it's so weird ;_;

I'm trying to be less confusing.

like at the mb pub night thing, zeroGravitas asked me who I was.

I think my response was "uh... depends which name you want"

http://www.musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=2... can you see any reason for that no vote?

it all looks right to me

although it caused me for the first time to notice they actually named a song "Smilly Willy"

until now I had mentallyedited out the m every single time I read that title apparently

1 automod, 8 nos...

oh, so randomness

yep

didn't occur to look at their stats for some reason, I looked over the two tracklistings twice instead -_-;

first thing I do is check their stats

I'd post that Japanese one to there but I suspect it'd melt under the traffic -_-;

nobody can use freedb anyway because it's shit.

for the Japanese stuff it's rarely wrong

I meant searching freedb

ah

that perl namazu script is pretty decent for that

it is

they didn't write it for that freedb server, I've seen that on other sites

and it supports more than a-z

I used a ( in freedb once and it puked on me and sent me back to the main page.

heh

great... stallman is apparently ready for his "conference" (or whatever it should be called)... people are going more or less nuts in another channel i'm in :\

pfft, you don't need other channels :P

yes i do :\

life with only 1 irc channel?!

hehe.
