You know it and I know it.

[10:06] do you know how many there is total? [10:07] about 400 [10:08] there still making them but i don't trust the new interface [10:08] very hard to find all episodes now [10:08] since all episodes page doesn't go beyond the last 20 to 25 i think [10:09] D: [10:09] I wonder, maybe we can get you onto glados's server [10:09] can you upload via commandline? [10:09] It'll fix your wifi issues... [10:09] SSH, perhaps? [10:09] Yah. [10:09] SSH, SFTP/SCP (your choice!) [10:10] I keep abusing your box GLaDOS just tlel me when I go too far :P [10:10] * GLaDOS currently has 2 blind eyes pointed at it [10:10] wowvault.ign.com_02042013.warc 28% 3495MB 2.5MB/s 2.5MB/s 57:48 ETA [10:10] i would be abusing [10:10] No, you woulnd't [10:11] but my wifi only drops out now and then [10:11] this box has been subphona'd by archiveteam [10:11] godane: well it wouldn't matter [10:11] Besides, the only thing it [10:11] and can you get 3MB/s upload from home? [10:11] 's used for is archive projects. [10:11] atm I'm just filling it with warc's :D [10:11] I have a VPS in romania for the rest of my stuff. [10:11] ok [10:12] the only problem is my tekzilla stuff needs my desc text file [10:12] i'm also backing them up to bluray [10:13] godane: you'll have full access to the box [10:13] so yoiu can do anything on there you like. [10:13] add text files, etc [10:13] install extra tools [10:13] cool [10:13] As long as you don't rf -rf / :P [10:14] i wouldn't do that [10:14] Ok cool [10:15] Either GLaDOS can set you up now, or I will once these warcs have finished uploading, which is an hour or so. [10:15] ok [10:17] Done. [10:17] thanks [10:21] password is not working [10:23] Try now [10:23] it works now [10:26] GLaDOS: added a user, right? [10:26] Yeah [10:26] \o/ [12:17] so i found something interesting [12:17] i have a demo of bioshock infinite [12:17] from 2010 [12:18] https://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video48839 [12:24] http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2010/aug/20/bioshock-infinite-gamescom [12:25] so looks like there was demos that far back [12:45] found a interview with martin copper [13:40] The best quantum leap gif I have ever seen. https://images.4chan.org/vr/src/1365369231960.gif [13:51] lol [13:51] Child of Eden TGS 2010 Creative Director Interview: https://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video48880 [13:52] DMC: Devil May Cry Producer Interview: https://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video48862 [14:00] The linux game tome guy wants nothing to do with a future version of the site [14:00] I would have empathy but fucker never really updated the site for the last 3+ years. He should have killed it before [14:01] i got the xml database [14:01] godane, I ripped it weeks ago [14:01] and someone had ripped it at the end of last year too. We talked about it quite a bit in archiveteam [14:02] this is the XML Database [14:02] and I have the real database for it [14:02] happypenguin_dump.tar.bz2 [14:02] that file? [14:03] nope. I contacted the guy directly within hours of the announcement [14:03] same way I got the 4chandata [14:04] this maybe different then [14:04] It is just the sql as xml records instead [14:04] AHHHHHHHHHH [14:04] interview [14:05] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [14:05] I have no idea why people think that is a good format for db dumps [14:05] if you are just plain inserting then it is simple but digging through that [14:06] You have to read some of it to learn the schema and then xpath it [14:06] and god forbid the xml records change as you go [14:07] and if you do not need binary data you can be hip and dump it to json [14:07] i'm uploading it anyways [14:08] Smiley, are you giving the interview [14:09] hmmm i'm being interviewed [14:09] for a job I'd really really like to get. [14:09] tbh I have..... 90+% record so far at getting jobs from interviews ;) [14:09] in the same company or a different one? [14:09] The only one I didn't get, I basically knew I wouldn't [14:09] different one. [14:10] This place is closer, pay more, I can do shift work, I can learn more, I can grow more. [14:10] Currently I love my job but theres no where to go, theres no progression. [14:10] Smiley, that is the #1 reason to leave a job [14:10] It's the *best* reason imo [14:10] People need to recognize a dead end when they see it [14:10] Leaving jobs because you hate them sucks. [14:11] I always feel better after leaving a job I hate [14:11] yeah, but it's a sucky reason to leave [14:11] especially when your new employeer asks you why you want to leave [14:11] "because they suck". [14:12] If I can say it's honestly because I've learnt all I can in my current position and am unable to gain any more knowledge in the field. -0--- Awesome. [14:13] It's a weird switch tho [14:13] Completely different field - very simular work [14:13] I hope they can see that fact. But the fact my wife got me the interview must count for something ;) [14:13] (She works there, in the training department, and used to work in the department associated with this job [14:14] But not this job itself. [14:14] Funniest bit - first week's training will b given by her ¬_¬ [14:14] Most jobs are never posted anywhere and just word of mouth [14:14] Indeed [14:14] This was posted, but the angecy they use [14:14] when asked about the shitty cv's they supplied [14:14] That secret job market is the biggest part of the job market [14:14] "Oh, we just pass over the first 20 to apply". [14:14] They don't _any_ check's on the CV's [14:14] fuck dat [14:14] So everyone there is trying to get good staff, but they have to go via this agency. who suck. [14:15] So my wife was like ".,... did you get my husbands CV?" [14:15] Nope... [14:15] lol [14:15] She hands it over, they give me an interview (So they must at least be interested, they could of handed the job to four people internally quite easily.) [14:16] I'm perfectly happy to not get the job if I'm not the right person, or someone else is better [14:16] but fuck the idea that I am not getting a job because the fucking agency suck ass. [14:16] I work my ass off. [14:17] It's taken 5ish years for me to realise I work damn hard, and I give it my all, and most people don't. [14:18] but damn this job [14:18] basically watching for alarms all day, and making sure the relevent people know [14:18] Once I know the systems well, I can move upto other departments, but even that is a huge payrise, simply because they do shifts. [14:18] including nights. [14:20] more money, less problems [14:20] nod [14:20] work a early, a late, or a night shift? Have a free parking space! [14:20] You've got a bike? Lock it up in our secured car park! [14:21] currently: You won't get a car parking space for about 5 years, the one down the road is there if you need it... at £8/day [14:21] the two trains you get to work each day are likely late too [14:22] So if I get this job, I finish getting my lincence and I can drive infor most shifts, walk, ride, get a lift with hte wife... [14:22] Stuff like when there was 2 inches of snow here, most people who live near to the office didn't make it in [14:22] yet me and my two trains did. [14:24] Hey undersco2/underscor, did you get a chance to finish those tenfourfox downloads? [14:43] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/happypenguin_xml_dump_2013 [14:53] Smiley, I got 2 bicycles to handle the weather. One is a road bike with rain tires and the other is a hardtail mountain bike with offroad tires with a high sticky number so I can ride in some snow [14:54] Companies notice when you show up and not your coworkers [14:54] omf_: I walk. Anywhere. Anytime. [14:54] omf_: yeah except it hasn't resulted in anything yet :< [14:54] They notice though [14:55] yah well :< [14:55] The only thing I've ever really asked for is the allowance to work from home (I hate those 4 trains more than anything else). [14:55] I have worked out my entire workstream so theres no issues with me working from home [14:55] Yeah I am looking for a remote gig right now [14:58] Oh god how I'd love to have a job when I *did* work from home [14:58] Adminning lots of servers or something. I have the right setup etc. for it. [14:58] I would also accept something I could cycle to safely each day [15:00] :) [15:01] The First 15: Dead Rising 2: https://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video48901 [15:01] omf_: I mean I could possibly be a consultant and do services for small companies but it's too uncertain, and I think most would want more than they can reasonibly afford. [15:03] Yeah I am mainly focusing on companies that already have success with remote workers. [15:04] nod [15:05] So....... i need to look at interview techniques for changing job.... fields [15:10] It's funny really [15:10] my main thing in my current job is if an alarm goes off [15:10] where a alarm MAY come in via the automated systems, but most likely is via someone going "ARRRRRRGH IT DOESN'T WORK!" [15:10] tthat won't happen in this new job [15:11] monitoring industrial alarms for res's, pump houses, pressure valves, etc [15:12] so theres generally no people involved, other than when an engineer forgets to phone in and then opens a hatch out in the field setting off all sorts of alarms [15:12] or is a terroists ;) [15:20] Smiley: fun job [15:21] res's? [15:27] reservoir - couldn't be bothere to figure out how to spell it ;) [15:34] SketchCow: did you see my scan? [15:35] hmmm [15:36] on serious note omf_ can you think of anything I need to get from work before I leave? [15:36] i should get a copy of my ~ as I have written some really nice stuff and I'd be good to have it around just in case. [15:37] Kevin & Alison's Dildo Defense Lesson: https://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video48934 [15:37] What scan? [15:37] http://archive.org/details/pse2-kbtoys [15:40] Smiley, Get any goodies from the bash history of any account you used [15:40] some of the config files that required a lot of work in /etc I would copy for later use [15:41] check your crontab [15:41] backup your email way ahead of time [15:42] If they had any good manuals or books, fire up the copy machine [15:42] email is the only one for me to do then [15:42] :D [15:42] actually use a camera slightly better than a point and shoot would be faster [15:42] I have laptop at home, I'll fire it up to get upto date then export from firefox or whatever. [15:42] No good books I can't get "other" ways [15:43] I have a few more bits of equipment to request from my collegue [15:43] Make sure to check network shares, external drives and backups [15:43] he's in charge of what I can and can't have. [16:52] mistym: yupyup [16:52] Need to stick them on a.o though [16:53] underscor: Nice! Thanks! [18:19] godane: This is with the scanner? [18:22] SketchCow, That was godane's test magazine after getting the drivers working [18:22] Oooo [18:23] ok thats a pretty sweet scan [18:25] -rw-r--r-- 1 tim.bowers users 26G Apr 8 17:49 tim_bin.tar.gz [18:25] my backup from work, lolol [18:27] I am viewing the pdf in acroreader at 100% and it seems small [18:28] Excellent. [18:28] i zoomed in a lot in the online one and it looked fine [18:30] aah I get it [18:30] The pdf is generated and the hi-res original is the cbz [18:30] Yes. [18:32] Yeah passing around a 16mb pdf is way more reasonable than a 383mb cbz [18:34] * Smiley does a happy clap [18:34] tbh I wasn't much use other than poking random peoples. [18:39] Smiley: That counts. [18:39] What matters now is godane can move on to scanning. [18:39] Looking forward. [18:40] lol thanks [18:40] but more thanks to whoever got it working, I presume you omf_ ? [18:40] I just pointed out that a 2012 driver would probably be needed and godane stuck in the newest stuff and we got a scan [18:41] yo [18:41] \o/ [18:41] swebb: so where _have_ you been? [18:42] I finished up the twitter url un-rolling thing a couple of weeks ago for the urlteam project. Other than that, I'm a sysadmin by trade, and my latest project is moving a fairly large site from the Amazon cloud into a physical datacenter. [18:46] de-butting! [18:46] clownless [18:47] Your soon to be buttless job [18:49] Hornet Underground Volume 2 (Games) Beautiful multimedia works of art, produced by brilliant young minds, advertising nothing. [18:50] so yeah omf_ are you gonna index the cdrom site? [18:51] It is already indexed [18:51] :O [18:51] what can i grab :o [18:53] that is how I am putting it together. [18:53] It was a well mirrored site just usually not all in one place [18:53] Some researchers got a bunch of indexed snapshot information online [18:53] and a little searchfu and I am putting it back together in pretty large chunks for back then [18:53] :o [18:54] well if you need some spare bandwidth. [18:54] I got one [18:54] Everything from this dir and down http://ftp.gameaholic.com/pub/mirrors/ftp.cdrom.com/ [18:55] and then pop up a dir and grab those other historic ftp gaming sites they have up [18:55] just for you guys to know i did my magazine scan on windows [18:57] wow that sucks [18:57] but at least you got a working method for the scanner. How many mags do you got already lined up? [18:58] i have like 20+ [19:02] All gaming related? [19:02] most are computer related [19:02] smart computing magazines [19:02] i didn't get all of the magazines the guy had [19:03] but i got a good chuck [19:11] Playmate of the Year: Sara Jean Underwood: https://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video16320 [19:33] wow a cdrom.com mirror [19:34] only a few directories though :( [19:34] Yeah but there are plenty of partial mirrors [19:35] Different communities grabbed different parts [19:35] the whole thing is 500gb according to a 1999 CNN article [19:39] I made a big list of every download mirror in existence for commander keen back in 2001 or so, wonder if any random .edu ftps are still around [19:40] DFJustin, put it on http://paste.archivingyoursh.it/ if you still have it [19:42] They had to use Ultra-Wide SCSI to pool drives together [19:42] the controller had a 256mb cache [19:43] Here is the article http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9904/08/cdrom.idg/ [19:44] http://paste.archivingyoursh.it/durolidoci.xml [19:44] commented out ones were already dead in 2004 [19:44] that is a long list [19:44] how long did it take you to compile it? [19:45] cdrom.com mirrors are mixed up [19:45] some have put other files into theirs [19:45] don't remember, I had so much more free time then lol [19:46] wow, what shitty paste thing is that. it requires javascript to even display [19:46] http://paste.archivingyoursh.it/raw/durolidoci [19:47] if someone is bored, ftp://gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyondergames/blueyondergames/ would be nice to archive [19:48] Schbirid, any mirrors you know of let me know [19:48] I have indexes so I know what files and sizes go where [19:48] for idgames2 the berlin one is good [19:49] do NOT mirror from gamers.org, they are on a very low bandwidth limit and pay for over usage [19:49] Schbirid, They don't have a mirror anywhere? [19:50] who what? [19:50] gamers.org [19:50] they are a mirror and what they have "uniquely" is not mirrored elsewhere afaik [19:50] Were you the one I was talking to about this early last year? [19:51] maybe [19:51] i dont remmber [19:52] Do you know how large gamers.org is? [19:52] nope [19:52] but seriously, dont [19:52] I did a partial a few years ago [19:52] got .like 1.5gb [19:52] 2.5gb [19:53] mail fpv @ the domain if you want to do anything big [19:53] I plan to [19:53] they used to have multiple other high speed mirrors [19:53] mirrors for making mirrors [19:54] only of some of the directories and some of those are still alive [19:54] eg ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pc/games/idgames2/ [19:54] ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pc/games/ rather [19:56] hello ftp://ftp.bu.edu/mirrors/simtelnet/ [19:56] and it has a mirror list too [19:56] possibly a way to find more sites [20:15] does someone remember that tumblr with images/art from old books on archive.org? [20:17] http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/ [20:20] http://beautifulfreebooks.tumblr.com/ [20:23] I am teeing up cdrom.com as my followup to when the ispygames is done [20:23] and I think the bulk of gamers.org is still mirror elsewhere I can have high speed downloads. I did email the owner already [20:24] i will have its idgames2/planetquake directory up soonish [20:24] a mirror of it i mean [22:07] GLaDOS: can you tell me about archiveyoursh.it ? is it a regular pastebin-type site or something more/else? [22:15] so, here is some interesting stuff that folks might enjoy here: http://paste.archivingyoursh.it/mujadedado.1c [22:16] I've previously uploaded a copy of Internet Games Directory, a book from 1996 talking about gaming sites. It included an electronic copy of the book on the companion CD, and a list of FTP sites you could check out. [22:18] Thanks dashcloud anything gaming related is my area of interest [22:23] the paste has the list reproduced- if you want your own copy, I'd be happy to point you the original on the CD [22:27] sure [22:28] Have you downloaded a copy of the CD yet? [22:29] https://archive.org/details/cdrom-internetgamesdirectorycd [22:29] Damn I actually wanna see this for myself :P [22:30] I am downloading the iso now [22:33] just quickly I went through the 25 ftp sites list [22:33] most of them are either dead or passworded, no real surprise there [22:33] there's definitely duplicates in that list- probably my fault (the one on the paste site) [22:34] yeah but I can also use them as search terms to find mirrors of them [22:34] speaking of which does any search engine provide an api now days [22:50] so, for anyone who's downloaded the CD: go to the folder HTML [22:50] I am there [22:50] each chapter is a single .HTM file- 10.HTM is the chapter on FTP sites [23:15] dashcloud: It's actually a nodejs application [23:15] thanks! [23:15] Luckily, mod_proxy on lighttpd doesn't screw with it (unlike etherpad)
