[04:51] http://imgur.com/a/jj8xA [04:53] is that woz pissing from a segway? [04:54] yes [04:55] http://macenstein.com/default/2008/11/please-tell-me-this-is-photshopped/ [04:55] http://gizmodo.com/5095603/woz-really-does-everything-on-his-segway#c9054150 [04:56] ok [04:56] I get the idea [04:56] woz is weird [04:56] Hey now [04:56] The first is speculation [04:56] The second has first-person [04:57] and a reference to http://urinal.net/ [04:57] Please remove the textfiles for the ASCII zine called "Cropduster." I wrote these 20+ years ago and do not want them someone to circulate them still under my real name. [04:57] I have asked you several times over several years to do this. [04:57] -- [04:57] You would think the second line would indicate the needlessness of writing the first. [04:58] well [04:58] some people are special [04:58] http://www.textfiles.com/magazines/CROPDUSTER/ [04:59] maybe I should attempt to get a paper copy [05:08] Naturally permission is granted to distribute Cropduster in any way you would [05:08] like, but please leave it as it is so that others can see our mistakes as [05:08] well. [05:09] well [05:09] wish granted, it seems to me [05:09] lol [05:11] over and over and over and over [05:20] forever [05:20] this is the license that never ends [05:20] it goes on and on my friends [05:20] what if he was just asking for a s/name/anonymous/ [05:20] *g [05:21] devil's advocate [05:21] oh, didn't read line 2 of joepie [05:21] :P [05:21] also, SketchCow, others, what is the recommended DPI for scanning comics? [05:22] 400 seems a bit over the top [05:22] although it does look very nice and high-res :P [05:22] scan everything 600 if you can do it [05:22] 300 is acceptable [05:23] 600 takes forever on this thing :/ [05:23] then the highest resolution that you can justify the time for [05:23] I think I'll go with 300 then [05:23] right [05:23] no less than 300 [05:23] let me make a first scan and upload the result [05:23] k [05:24] * joepie91 is automating his scanning [05:24] I'll upload the 400 DPI one in the meantime [05:24] ok [05:26] 300dpi is usually fine for printed things, though you may get unpleasant moire [05:26] 600dpi is minimum reasonable for photograph prints [05:27] Height (mm)? 263 [05:27] Page 1 finished, press enter to continue with next page... [05:27] Project name? wittegems [05:27] Width (mm)? 196 [05:27] [occupy@edge13 scan]$ python test.py [05:27] :) [05:28] seems script works as intended [05:28] and well... the 300 scan looks very very nice [05:28] link? [05:28] still uploading :P [05:28] my upload is slow now that I no longer have fiber [05:29] heh ok [05:29] I upload by mailing hard drives to internet archive. [05:30] I'm about to do.... a lot. [05:31] this reminds me of the pigeon transport thing :P [05:31] pigeons being faster than any internet connection [05:31] hahaha [05:31] yup [05:32] lol [05:32] maybe I should've compressed before uploading. [05:37] chronomex: this is at 400 DPI: http://haless.cryto.net/wittegems.png [05:37] so big [05:38] :P [05:38] that took like 30 seconds to load [05:38] 20+MB [05:38] that looks pretty good though [05:38] looks like it gets all the detail [05:38] it is - I'm very pleased with this scanner [05:38] although it's a bit slow [05:39] it's one of those Canon LiDe scanners [05:39] that uses LEDs for lighting [05:39] and is USB-powered entirely [05:39] most of all, it works on Linux without a hitch (unless you're using Fedora, then you have to install extra packages, because Fedora) [05:40] this is at 300 DPI: http://haless.cryto.net/wittegems_300.png [05:40] same cover [05:43] some moire at 400 [05:43] 300 looks better actually [05:44] it was probably printed at 150lpi, so 300dpi is perfect [05:45] yeah, I think I agree [05:45] I mean [05:45] you won't be able to see if one of the dots is missing [05:51] http://sebsauvage.net/paste/?47086a5a6ab3c206#Env48QWFvh38/LXFlo9Wnrq7HAjkiPCDAjkd9lFewgg= [06:00] nice [06:57] hrm [06:57] chronomex: finished scanning it [06:57] 450 MB of files lol [06:57] what compression algorithm would you suggest for PNGs of a comic book? [06:58] cc Sue DFJustin underscor [07:01] um [07:01] tiff with lossless compression [07:01] upload to archive.org [07:01] download the jpeg full-book-zip [07:10] right, it's PNG now though [07:10] any way to mass-convert? [07:11] @ chronomex [07:15] shellscript + 'convert $P.png $P.tif' or whatever [07:15] * joepie91 sucks at bash :( [07:15] anyway, aren't there particular options I need to use for the TIFF [07:15] for compression etc [07:16] yeah probably [07:16] 1sec [07:16] meh [07:22] ok, I really have no idea where to start and the man page for convert gives me a headache ._. [07:23] chronomex: do you know off the top of your head how to throw a bunch of PNGs into a multipage TIFF with lossless compression? (just found out that multipage tiff is possible in the first place :P) [07:23] using convert, or imagemagick, or something else commandline [07:23] like, the switches you need for it [07:24] ah, convert is part of imagemagick [07:27] Yes. [07:29] november is lets whatever file something month? [07:29] i wanna join, that's my birthday month [07:30] *lets just solve the problem *file formats [07:31] s/lets/let's/g [07:36] Get in #justsolve [07:40] okay, my laptop is about to cry [07:40] there we go lol [07:42] 09:42:07 up 38 days, 19:41, 3 users, load average: 7.41, 4.01, 3.54 [07:42] ;_; [07:43] 12:43AM up 85 days, 13:10, 2 users, load averages: 0.04, 0.05, 0.02 [07:44] lol [07:44] the TIFF is already 332M [07:44] oh god [07:44] did you compress it? [07:45] yes, ZIP [07:46] it's done [07:46] 484M [07:50] anyway, where to put it now? :P [07:51] ohai Aranje [07:52] SketchCow: where would one leave a scanned comic book considering it's probably still copyrighted? [07:55] Torrent site. [07:55] fair enough [07:55] anyway, that's for tomorrow, time to sleep now [07:55] goodnight all [07:56] by the way SketchCow, thank you for writing Datapocalypso! â January 5, 2009 [07:57] i remember reading that in 2009 and thinking how cool that was [08:05] No problem. [08:05] I write things that get people going. [08:05] This new website will be full of that. [08:10] Sounds fun. Maybe I can write something for it [14:01] joepie91/chronomex umm there's not really any point in converting png to tiff, archive.org understands both and the compression won't be any better [19:06] arkhive: did you get that osborne running? [19:07] Sue: ooops. I meant to put it in A for the video. It does not work in either one. and when I press 'return' it always tries to use drive B [19:08] nope :( [19:14] ok, at least you tried A; that comment on the video isn't me [19:14] sounds like a dead drive then, or maybe a dirty one [19:54] heh. nice comment. whoever that was [20:01] mmm [20:02] and yet another news item to show the general public why url shorteners are evil: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/10/21/0720241/spammers-using-shortened-gov-urls [20:02] And open-url redirectors [20:02] er, move the hyphen to the right [20:05] " I mean, a script with the ability to redirect to anything a user inputs, that just doesn't make any sense whatsoever." [20:05] there is one use... if done a certain way, it can cause the browser to lose the referer. [20:06] and even if done another way, the referer just shows the redirect page, rather than the actual page [20:07] I don't know why a government site would need it, but if you were doing something like a hidden section of a site with direct downloads or torrents of tv show episodes and wanted to link to episode details on another site... [20:08] Yeah [20:08] Lots of private trackers use anonym.to [20:24] ah I got one of those spams the other day, mystery solved [20:24] joepie91: ia deriver doesn't like multipage tiff, iirc. [21:22] SketchCow: I grabbed a big pile of amiga book pdfs off a site recently [21:22] haven't gotten around to archive.org-ing them yet [21:22] Excellent. [21:25] but some of the same books that french guy has (not all though) [22:07] DFJustin: where did you get the amiga books [22:24] chronomex: probably can't upload it to IA anyway [22:24] because copyrighted still :P [22:24] doesn't matter! [22:24] Yep, that stops us right dead [22:25] We just drop that shit into the burn barrel and look around for piano rolls from the 1860s [22:25] lol [22:37] http://www.diystash.com/downloads/other/amiga [22:37] I got all the "ebooks" folder and started on "manuals" [22:37] but they only let you download like 10 a day or something
