18:18 🔗 SketchCow The nice fellow who is scanning the CD-ROMs for us that is uploading to the filesharing service was not happy I was disliking the method publically in #archiveteam.

19:31 🔗 winr4r SmileyG: optically scanning CD-ROMs?
19:31 🔗 winr4r i think they call that a "CD drive"
19:32 🔗 SmileyG you know what I meant :P
19:34 🔗 winr4r you could, i suppose, but you'd need an insanely high-resolution camera
19:40 🔗 SmileyG yup
19:45 🔗 ersi we need to go deeper
19:46 🔗 winr4r thatswhatshesaid.wav

20:55 🔗 chronomex figures
20:55 🔗 SmileyG i.e. text sex, get charged £5, heres a nice desktop image
20:55 🔗 SmileyG :D
20:56 🔗 SmileyG and as I tied the store room, I checked what was on random discs (there is about 600-700 cdroms floating around in various folders etc.
20:57 🔗 Hallfiry ok, now I'm here
20:58 🔗 winr4r oh hi
20:58 🔗 Hallfiry I saw you already started ripping the shoonay website that I suggested
20:59 🔗 SmileyG :)
20:59 🔗 Hallfiry did you also check the cover disk section of oldgames.sk and the cds at abandonware-magazines?
20:59 🔗 SketchCow I did.
20:59 🔗 SketchCow I'm moving through things as I go, Hallfiry
20:59 🔗 Hallfiry the oldgames sk isn't very much to download (some floppies and maybe 20 CDs)
21:00 🔗 Hallfiry http://www.abandonware-magazines.org/liste.php has about 550 CDs and some cassettes and floppies
21:01 🔗 SketchCow http://archive.org/details/cdrom-americas-premiere-shareware-1993
21:02 🔗 Hallfiry I'll try to visit a friend of mine as soon as possible. he has ~500 german magazine CDs
21:03 🔗 Hallfiry so I can hopefully contribute about 1100 CDs this year :D
21:03 🔗 SketchCow I'm about to slam 170 into the site.
21:03 🔗 Hallfiry cd.textfiles or archive.org?
21:05 🔗 Schbirid oh awesome, german magazines!
21:05 🔗 Hallfiry yep :)
21:06 🔗 Hallfiry or, well. not magazines, but magazine CDs
21:06 🔗 Schbirid do you rip after the redump standard?
21:06 🔗 Schbirid yeah :)
21:06 🔗 Hallfiry or do you want me to scan mags, too?
21:06 🔗 Hallfiry the what?
21:06 🔗 Hallfiry :D
21:06 🔗 Schbirid http://redump.org/guide/cddumping/
21:06 🔗 Hallfiry I make isos/bins if possible
21:06 🔗 Hallfiry if not, I copy files manually
21:07 🔗 Hallfiry of the 608 CDs that I indexed, 4 are ripped manually
21:07 🔗 Hallfiry the rest worked quite well as iso
21:08 🔗 Schbirid when i ripped ~40 discs, the majority would give me different checksums if i ripped twice :(
21:08 🔗 Hallfiry oh
21:09 🔗 Hallfiry the Pc Games CDs of 1996 and 1997 tended to have 3 reading error at the end
21:09 🔗 Hallfiry all of them
21:10 🔗 Hallfiry you will kill me for that, but I will surely not rip all 600 CDs/DVDs twice
21:11 🔗 Schbirid SketchCow wont care :)
21:14 🔗 Hallfiry what I find quite funny, is that cd.textfiles has like 637 CDs (according to the add log) and I'm contributing the same amount from just ~2 years of collecting
21:15 🔗 Hallfiry where about 400 CDs are from the recycling yard :D
21:17 🔗 Schbirid well, people like you rock:)
21:17 🔗 Hallfiry yay :3
21:18 🔗 Hallfiry but actually I'm the blizzard historian oO CDs are just a side effect...
21:19 🔗 Schbirid i am quake historian, high five o/
21:19 🔗 Hallfiry \o
21:20 🔗 Hallfiry trolling blizzard for wrong facts on their website and facebook timelines is so much fun :D
21:21 🔗 Hallfiry they shouldn't let chris metzen do history things. he uses google for his own company history...
21:23 🔗 Hallfiry I gtg
21:23 🔗 Schbirid see ya
21:23 🔗 Hallfiry don't know if I'll ever come back. (I normally never use IRC)
22:08 🔗 SketchCow So, is su retarded, an idiot, or a retarded idiot?
22:08 🔗 SketchCow I'll take all debates
22:10 🔗 dashcloud differently gifted!
22:11 🔗 dashcloud but far less useful than many other trolls/generally nuts folks I'm around
22:12 🔗 winr4r maybe just a SAP
22:13 🔗 winr4r oh i'll be at a public event and other people who weren't there might know i was there
22:17 🔗 undersco2 <dashcloud> differently gifted!
22:17 🔗 undersco2 He doesn't even make me laugh
22:17 🔗 undersco2 :(
22:17 🔗 undersco2 Trolls that make me laugh are cool
22:17 🔗 undersco2 Trolls that fail aren't
22:32 🔗 dashcloud wow- http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15398285.2012.674000 there's a journal called Journal of Consumer Health On the Internet
22:41 🔗 Aranje O.o
22:54 🔗 chronomex you follow @pinboard too, eh?
23:16 🔗 dashcloud I do- fascinating guy!
23:16 🔗 dashcloud also a great service
23:17 🔗 dashcloud this may not necessarily be off-topic: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/05/faster-than-your-router-verizon-doubles-fios-speeds-to-300mbps/
23:19 🔗 Aranje My buddy may get that... in the area he's moving to it's only 200$/mo
23:21 🔗 dashcloud it's an amazing age we live in- and soon we'll have wireless routers that can keep up with those speeds!
23:26 🔗 Aranje I think if you set your laptop next to a wireless-N router it technically can
23:26 🔗 Aranje some of the vendor specific extensions push wifi-N to 300 or 330mbps
23:26 🔗 Aranje It's pretty impressive
23:27 🔗 Aranje even low end linksys hardware now `supports` gigabit ethernet speeds
23:28 🔗 Aranje I doubt it's capable of actually quite carrying that speed, but heh still cool
23:30 🔗 Aranje Here's your page: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/wireless/f/80211n-300-mbps.htm
23:32 🔗 chronomex and yet youtube will still buffer constantly
23:40 🔗 dashcloud actually, if you check here: http://www.buffalotech.com/products/wireless/wireless-n-routers-access-points/airstation-highpower-n450-gigabit-wireless-router-wzr-hp-g450h/ you can see the future coming
23:40 🔗 dashcloud 802.11ac - gigabit wireless or so
23:42 🔗 chronomex sign me up
23:44 🔗 Aranje hah, I'll finally be able to ftp things at linespeed over wifi
23:44 🔗 Aranje legit.
23:45 🔗 Aranje Someday I won't hate wireless. Right about the time I die they'll get it right.
23:45 🔗 chronomex nope, radio is always out to get you
23:46 🔗 Aranje Shit.
23:46 🔗 undersco2 hahahaha
