[00:30] fianlly a decent use for the palmrests [00:39] anyone want this Linode $50 coupon for you know, whatever ... should get you 2 months of a 512MB/20GB/200GB Transfer VPS [00:42] also as an FYI, RedHat is giving away free developer preview limited versions of their PaaS service OpenShift - https://openshift.redhat.com/community/developers/pricing [00:46] uploaded: http://archive.org/details/issac_asimov_science_adventure_2 [00:53] I use linode already, I could use a free month or two ;) [01:15] underscor, I wish I was as useful as you [01:15] :< [01:15] aww <3 [01:15] you're useful! [01:15] howso? [01:19] all members of archiveteam are useful [01:19] SketchCow doesn't play favorites with his children [01:19] you're great for morale! :D [01:19] plus, aren't you like 16? [01:20] or 17 or something [01:20] I turned 19 last month [01:20] oh [01:20] hah [01:20] welp [01:20] I thought you were younger than me [01:21] I'm not particularly special! Anyone can be useful [01:21] Just jump in and hack on shit :D [01:21] if I was physically there to help SketchCow sort through that stuff I would do it in a heartbeat [01:21] I'm a fucking machine when it comes to repetitive tasks [01:25] I'm sure SketchCow has a use for a fucking machine [01:27] plenty. [01:27] but in all seriousness [01:27] You would not belive what happens if I get good music going [01:27] haha [01:28] Not to mention I'm good at writing documentation out of my arse :P [01:30] I wrote the documentation for a freeware game years agi [01:30] ago. [01:33] Too bad you picked AU over US [01:33] ;P [01:33] So anyone want to help me dump these floppers? [01:33] underscor indeed :| [01:34] I have hundreds of them. [01:34] but yeah, basically if I'm needed for a stupidly repetitive task or documentation writing just beep me or something, I'm not able to watch this channel all the time [01:39] BlueMax: speaking of which, are you involved in the Metadata Warrior project? [01:39] dashcloud nope, why? [01:40] there's an endless supply of magazines that could use metadata [01:40] Hmm, how do I help [01:41] here's the page with some good info on it: http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Metadata_warriors [01:43] here's one of the collections that is nearly all done: http://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Abig-k-magazine&sort=-publicdate [01:43] the most important part here (besides finishing) is consistency [01:45] guys, does archiveteam have their own pastebin or similar thing yet? [01:45] So basically I have to take these magazine sets, add a table of contents and publish date? Sounds fun [01:46] yes- here's the template I used for Big K magazine: http://pastebin.com/PQ0YJZ43 [01:48] pick a small set first (just so you can get a good workflow established easily)- you might want to ask Sketchcow about that, and then move on from there [01:48] Ask him about what, a good set to start on? [01:49] try this one first: http://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Aacorn-programs&sort=-publicdate [01:50] it's short- only 5 issues [01:50] Was just looking at that one [01:52] Man I wish I had more desktop space sometimes [01:53] do you mean computer screen, or physical desk space? [01:53] computer screen [01:53] ah- it's quite doable here [01:56] you'll take advantage of some window manager features here to make it easier on yourself- pin your text document window on top, and zoom in the magazine page [01:56] I'm on Windows 7 [01:58] Is it possible to do metadata that's not on one line? the Big-K magazine metadata kinda gives me a headache [01:59] I used an editor that can wrap the line on the screen, while leaving it as one line in the file. [01:59] I can't use line breaks, like in Notepad++ or something? [02:00] I'm not totally sure of the reason for that- if you'd like to know why, Sketchcow is the person to ask about that [02:00] underscor: can you move this to cdbbsarchive: http://archive.org/details/Enix_E3_2002_Electronic_Media_Kit [02:00] notepad++ should definitely support dynamic word wrapping or something similar to that [02:01] Yeah, it does support Word Wrap [02:02] godane: done [02:03] thanks [02:03] How do I take ownership of Acorn Programs [02:04] do you already have an archiveteam wiki account? [02:04] Yes, BlueMax [02:05] if so, just edit the page to indicate you're taking that [02:05] What do I put, just my signature next to the link saying "I'll handle this one" [02:05] seems fine [02:05] Sorry for asking so many questions but I'm running on an hour's sleep here [02:06] don't worry at all- I asked a bunch of questions when I started with this as well [02:07] So my finished file should be a single textfile with a list of links with the relevant metadata description below them [02:07] getting capcom e3 2001 press cd uploaded [02:07] brb [02:08] I did each issue as a separate file- I think that's the best way, but I don't know for sure [02:09] Fair enough, should I beep someone and ask [02:10] no idea [02:11] I'll go with one textfile for it unless someone chimes in and tells me not to [02:12] I can't start right now but I have everything ready, I have a fair bit of free time this afternoon [03:07] underscor / someone: could you move these to pcgamer-cdroms? http://archive.org/details/pcgamer-coverdisc-extended-play-vol-3 http://archive.org/details/pcgamer-coverdisc-2002-01 [03:07] thanks in advance [03:08] I think I've finally uploaded all of the files I've collected over the past few months. Feels good. [03:16] Nintendud: Impressive, given your collection [03:17] underscor: this one can be move to cdbbsarchive: http://archive.org/details/Capcom_E3_2001_Press_CD [03:17] hey shaqfu [03:17] godane: Hey [03:17] shaqfu: I have many non-pcgamer things to rip and upload when I get home in two weeks [03:17] but that's all the PC gamer stuff. [03:18] waiting for swizzle to rip some of his pc gamer stuff [03:18] Ah, gotcha. Are you still collecting more? [03:18] Yup [03:19] We have pretty much all of the older ones up, which is good [03:20] From #1 to #7.19. [03:20] December 1994 to September 2002 [03:21] Missing extended play vol 1, and best of cd vol 1. Dunno if there are extended plays past vol 3 or best of cds past vol 2 [03:22] will pcgamer bitch about this being up forcing blackout? [03:22] I don't think so? It's just demos [03:22] If so, it'll be on UG. Gotta update my torrent. [03:22] btw, your CDs are up on archive.org now [03:22] ya i saw [03:23] one cd which belongs on archive.org but isn't there yet is the original chex quest cd [03:23] i have one shrinkwrapped copy and an open copy which i'm trying to find the cd from [03:23] uploading capcom e3 2002 press cd [03:25] I'm not sure how they'll feel when I start getting to newer discs [03:25] We shall see [03:26] I just bid on an ebay auction that has the first best of CD. Let's see where this goes. [03:27] getting spritedatabase.net 2011 torrent on ug [03:27] nice nice [03:27] has anyone noticed an increase of people begging for ratio on UG? I've got two randoms who PMed me looking for ratio. [03:28] I think both have since been banned [03:28] I have a 0.5 ratio but have no torrents to seed for ratio [03:28] probably the easiest site to maintain a ratio on [03:28] golden torrent weekends happen quite frequently [03:29] I know, I always miss them [03:54] I grabbed that spritedatabase stuff a while back if you don't want to waste ratio [03:54] haven't gotten around to upping [03:55] BlueMax: What's your username on there [03:55] BlueMaxima [03:56] I have many terabytes of upload; I'm more than happy to put it towards AT stuff [03:56] BlueMax if you have any mame roms or chds it's easy to hop on those torrents and do a partial seed [03:57] Not the worst idea [03:57] just select nothing to download [03:57] Done [03:58] Reason: YAY ARCHIVES [03:58] lol [03:58] Cheers for that :P [03:58] Download with impunity [04:00] That only put me back up to 0.75 ratio :P [04:01] Hold up [04:02] ehm it's a golden week right now [04:03] oshi- [04:03] YAY MORE ARCHIVES [04:03] 8) [04:03] <3 shaqfu [04:03] and now I'm at 1.46 ratio [04:03] But yeah I don't know what golden torrent to download [04:04] BlueMax: Hop on their IRC channel [04:04] I had 8.07TB and wanted it to an even number [04:06] why did I hop on their irc channel :P [04:09] BlueMax: Ask what to seed [04:09] It's been years since I actively did anything there [04:09] I don't know what's good anymore [04:10] Losing fiber kills your activity [04:11] Yeah, I don't really have the equipment to dedicatedly seed [04:12] Eh, even a bit helps [04:18] that it does [05:03] Time to metadata dem magz [05:28] Nintendud: Done [05:29] Hey guys, can someone look over this metadata and tell me if I'm doing it right [05:30] http://pastebin.com/wtPbG76z [05:36] underscor? [05:54] yay nice tag-teaming on cdbbsarchive today [05:59] holy crap this c64 training tape has an unboxing [06:00] great find [06:02] wish I had this when I got mine and was trying to hook everything up [06:12] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkDD03yeLnU [06:12] BlueMax: looks great to me [06:13] underscor, that format across the 5 issues should work then? [06:20] As far as I know [06:20] looks really nice [06:20] SketchCow: wow, those floppies have really jumped in price [06:20] Yeah [06:20] We're on each other [06:21] SketchCow: also, could you confirm that BlueMax is doing okay? [06:32] I'm almost done with the second one's metadata but I don't want to keep going until I'm confirmed I'm doing alright [06:32] SketchCow: ^ [06:33] yes, that is right [06:35] oh nice theres an fd55b on ebay [06:36] that shoudl work much better for reading apple2 disks except anything which uses quarter or half tracks [06:38] second issue of Acorn Programs done, should be done by tonight if I don't fall asleep [07:43] one issue to go [08:14] http://pastebin.com/Y2Vrz6aK [08:14] That took me a fair bit less time than I expected [08:14] Opinions? [14:30] uploaded: http://archive.org/details/bad_influence_se1ep1 [14:32] the tracking in the season 1 videos is very bad in some episodes [14:33] remember these are vhs rips and was recorded when it first came out [14:44] hey arkhive [14:51] uploaded: http://archive.org/details/bad_influence_se1ep2 [14:58] i may get nick arcade for you guys [15:00] hey godane [15:01] http://www.emuparadise.me/TV-Shows/ has Nick Arcade [15:01] i found a torrent on underground gamer [15:02] there is also a torrent of starcade too [15:02] starcade is like 15gb though [15:07] uploaded: http://archive.org/details/bad_influence_se1ep3 [15:29] archive: Where in Colorado?

[22:42] granted, there is additional work like cleanup and checking things over [22:42] per digitized foot in skip's 100 miles project [22:42] er [22:42] I worded that wrong [22:42] per digitized hour [23:00] folks, there's two people you should be following on twitter (and their blogs): pinboard and matthew garrett. Both fascinating personalities.
