13:52 🔗 godane DMC: Devil May Cry Producer Interview: https://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video48862
14:00 🔗 omf_ The linux game tome guy wants nothing to do with a future version of the site
14:00 🔗 omf_ I would have empathy but fucker never really updated the site for the last 3+ years. He should have killed it before
14:01 🔗 godane i got the xml database
14:01 🔗 omf_ godane, I ripped it weeks ago
14:01 🔗 omf_ and someone had ripped it at the end of last year too. We talked about it quite a bit in archiveteam
14:02 🔗 godane this is the XML Database
14:02 🔗 omf_ and I have the real database for it
14:02 🔗 godane happypenguin_dump.tar.bz2

14:03 🔗 omf_ nope. I contacted the guy directly within hours of the announcement
14:03 🔗 omf_ same way I got the 4chandata
14:04 🔗 godane this maybe different then
14:04 🔗 omf_ It is just the sql as xml records instead
14:04 🔗 Smiley AHHHHHHHHHH
14:04 🔗 Smiley interview
14:05 🔗 Smiley AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
14:05 🔗 omf_ I have no idea why people think that is a good format for db dumps
14:05 🔗 omf_ if you are just plain inserting then it is simple but digging through that
14:06 🔗 omf_ You have to read some of it to learn the schema and then xpath it
14:06 🔗 omf_ and god forbid the xml records change as you go
14:07 🔗 omf_ and if you do not need binary data you can be hip and dump it to json
14:07 🔗 godane i'm uploading it anyways
14:08 🔗 omf_ Smiley, are you giving the interview
14:09 🔗 Smiley hmmm i'm being interviewed
14:09 🔗 Smiley for a job I'd really really like to get.
14:09 🔗 Smiley tbh I have..... 90+% record so far at getting jobs from interviews ;)
14:09 🔗 omf_ in the same company or a different one?
14:09 🔗 Smiley The only one I didn't get, I basically knew I wouldn't
14:09 🔗 Smiley different one.
14:10 🔗 Smiley This place is closer, pay more, I can do shift work, I can learn more, I can grow more.
14:10 🔗 Smiley Currently I love my job but theres no where to go, theres no progression.
14:10 🔗 omf_ Smiley, that is the #1 reason to leave a job
14:10 🔗 Smiley It's the *best* reason imo
14:10 🔗 omf_ People need to recognize a dead end when they see it
14:10 🔗 Smiley Leaving jobs because you hate them sucks.
14:11 🔗 omf_ I always feel better after leaving a job I hate
14:11 🔗 Smiley yeah, but it's a sucky reason to leave
14:11 🔗 Smiley especially when your new employeer asks you why you want to leave
14:11 🔗 Smiley "because they suck".
14:12 🔗 Smiley 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 🔗 Smiley It's a weird switch tho
14:13 🔗 Smiley Completely different field - very simular work
14:13 🔗 Smiley I hope they can see that fact. But the fact my wife got me the interview must count for something ;)
14:13 🔗 Smiley (She works there, in the training department, and used to work in the department associated with this job
14:14 🔗 Smiley But not this job itself.
14:14 🔗 Smiley Funniest bit - first week's training will b given by her ¬_¬
14:14 🔗 omf_ Most jobs are never posted anywhere and just word of mouth
14:14 🔗 Smiley Indeed
14:14 🔗 Smiley This was posted, but the angecy they use
14:14 🔗 Smiley when asked about the shitty cv's they supplied
14:14 🔗 omf_ That secret job market is the biggest part of the job market
14:14 🔗 Smiley "Oh, we just pass over the first 20 to apply".
14:14 🔗 Smiley They don't _any_ check's on the CV's
14:14 🔗 omf_ fuck dat
14:14 🔗 Smiley So everyone there is trying to get good staff, but they have to go via this agency. who suck.
14:15 🔗 Smiley So my wife was like ".,... did you get my husbands CV?"
14:15 🔗 Smiley Nope...
14:15 🔗 omf_ lol
14:15 🔗 Smiley 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 🔗 Smiley I'm perfectly happy to not get the job if I'm not the right person, or someone else is better
14:16 🔗 Smiley but fuck the idea that I am not getting a job because the fucking agency suck ass.
14:16 🔗 Smiley I work my ass off.
14:17 🔗 Smiley 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 🔗 Smiley but damn this job
14:18 🔗 Smiley basically watching for alarms all day, and making sure the relevent people know
14:18 🔗 Smiley 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 🔗 Smiley including nights.
14:20 🔗 omf_ more money, less problems
14:20 🔗 Smiley nod
14:20 🔗 Smiley work a early, a late, or a night shift? Have a free parking space!
14:20 🔗 Smiley You've got a bike? Lock it up in our secured car park!
14:21 🔗 Smiley 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 🔗 Smiley the two trains you get to work each day are likely late too
14:22 🔗 Smiley 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 🔗 Smiley 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 🔗 Smiley yet me and my two trains did.
14:24 🔗 mistym Hey undersco2/underscor, did you get a chance to finish those tenfourfox downloads?
14:43 🔗 godane uploaded: https://archive.org/details/happypenguin_xml_dump_2013
14:53 🔗 omf_ 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 🔗 omf_ Companies notice when you show up and not your coworkers
14:54 🔗 Smiley omf_: I walk. Anywhere. Anytime.
14:54 🔗 Smiley omf_: yeah except it hasn't resulted in anything yet :<
14:54 🔗 omf_ They notice though
14:55 🔗 Smiley yah well :<
14:55 🔗 Smiley 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 🔗 Smiley I have worked out my entire workstream so theres no issues with me working from home
14:55 🔗 omf_ Yeah I am looking for a remote gig right now
14:58 🔗 Smiley Oh god how I'd love to have a job when I *did* work from home
14:58 🔗 Smiley Adminning lots of servers or something. I have the right setup etc. for it.
14:58 🔗 omf_ I would also accept something I could cycle to safely each day
15:00 🔗 Smiley :)
15:01 🔗 godane The First 15: Dead Rising 2: https://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video48901
15:01 🔗 Smiley 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 🔗 omf_ Yeah I am mainly focusing on companies that already have success with remote workers.
15:04 🔗 Smiley nod
15:05 🔗 Smiley So....... i need to look at interview techniques for changing job.... fields
15:10 🔗 Smiley It's funny really
15:10 🔗 Smiley my main thing in my current job is if an alarm goes off
15:10 🔗 Smiley where a alarm MAY come in via the automated systems, but most likely is via someone going "ARRRRRRGH IT DOESN'T WORK!"
15:10 🔗 Smiley tthat won't happen in this new job
15:11 🔗 Smiley monitoring industrial alarms for res's, pump houses, pressure valves, etc
15:12 🔗 Smiley 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 🔗 Smiley or is a terroists ;)
15:20 🔗 nico_32 Smiley: fun job
15:21 🔗 DrDeke res's?
15:27 🔗 Smiley reservoir - couldn't be bothere to figure out how to spell it ;)
15:34 🔗 godane SketchCow: did you see my scan?
15:35 🔗 Smiley hmmm
15:36 🔗 Smiley on serious note omf_ can you think of anything I need to get from work before I leave?
15:36 🔗 Smiley 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 🔗 godane Kevin & Alison's Dildo Defense Lesson: https://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video48934
15:37 🔗 SketchCow What scan?
15:37 🔗 godane http://archive.org/details/pse2-kbtoys
15:40 🔗 omf_ Smiley, Get any goodies from the bash history of any account you used
15:40 🔗 omf_ some of the config files that required a lot of work in /etc I would copy for later use
15:41 🔗 omf_ check your crontab
15:41 🔗 omf_ backup your email way ahead of time
15:42 🔗 omf_ If they had any good manuals or books, fire up the copy machine
15:42 🔗 Smiley email is the only one for me to do then
15:42 🔗 Smiley :D
15:42 🔗 omf_ actually use a camera slightly better than a point and shoot would be faster
15:42 🔗 Smiley I have laptop at home, I'll fire it up to get upto date then export from firefox or whatever.
15:42 🔗 Smiley No good books I can't get "other" ways
15:43 🔗 Smiley I have a few more bits of equipment to request from my collegue
15:43 🔗 omf_ Make sure to check network shares, external drives and backups
15:43 🔗 Smiley he's in charge of what I can and can't have.
16:52 🔗 underscor mistym: yupyup
16:52 🔗 underscor Need to stick them on a.o though
16:53 🔗 mistym underscor: Nice! Thanks!
18:19 🔗 SketchCow godane: This is with the scanner?
18:22 🔗 omf_ SketchCow, That was godane's test magazine after getting the drivers working
18:22 🔗 Smiley Oooo
18:23 🔗 Smiley ok thats a pretty sweet scan
18:25 🔗 Smiley -rw-r--r-- 1 tim.bowers users 26G Apr 8 17:49 tim_bin.tar.gz
18:25 🔗 Smiley my backup from work, lolol
18:27 🔗 omf_ I am viewing the pdf in acroreader at 100% and it seems small
18:28 🔗 SketchCow Excellent.
18:28 🔗 Smiley i zoomed in a lot in the online one and it looked fine
18:30 🔗 omf_ aah I get it
18:30 🔗 omf_ The pdf is generated and the hi-res original is the cbz
18:30 🔗 SketchCow Yes.
18:32 🔗 omf_ Yeah passing around a 16mb pdf is way more reasonable than a 383mb cbz
18:34 🔗 * Smiley does a happy clap
18:34 🔗 Smiley tbh I wasn't much use other than poking random peoples.
18:39 🔗 SketchCow Smiley: That counts.
18:39 🔗 SketchCow What matters now is godane can move on to scanning.
18:39 🔗 SketchCow Looking forward.
18:40 🔗 Smiley lol thanks
18:40 🔗 Smiley but more thanks to whoever got it working, I presume you omf_ ?
18:40 🔗 omf_ 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 🔗 swebb yo
18:41 🔗 Smiley \o/
18:41 🔗 Smiley swebb: so where _have_ you been?
18:42 🔗 swebb 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.

19:35 🔗 omf_ the whole thing is 500gb according to a 1999 CNN article
19:39 🔗 DFJustin 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 🔗 omf_ DFJustin, put it on http://paste.archivingyoursh.it/ if you still have it
19:42 🔗 omf_ They had to use Ultra-Wide SCSI to pool drives together

19:45 🔗 DFJustin don't remember, I had so much more free time then lol
19:46 🔗 Schbirid wow, what shitty paste thing is that. it requires javascript to even display
19:46 🔗 DFJustin http://paste.archivingyoursh.it/raw/durolidoci
19:47 🔗 Schbirid if someone is bored, ftp://gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyondergames/blueyondergames/ would be nice to archive
19:48 🔗 omf_ Schbirid, any mirrors you know of let me know
19:48 🔗 omf_ I have indexes so I know what files and sizes go where
19:48 🔗 Schbirid for idgames2 the berlin one is good

19:49 🔗 omf_ Schbirid, They don't have a mirror anywhere?
19:50 🔗 Schbirid who what?
19:50 🔗 omf_ gamers.org
19:50 🔗 Schbirid they are a mirror and what they have "uniquely" is not mirrored elsewhere afaik

19:53 🔗 omf_ I plan to
19:53 🔗 omf_ they used to have multiple other high speed mirrors
19:53 🔗 omf_ mirrors for making mirrors
19:54 🔗 Schbirid only of some of the directories and some of those are still alive
19:54 🔗 Schbirid eg ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pc/games/idgames2/
19:54 🔗 Schbirid ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pc/games/ rather
19:56 🔗 DFJustin hello ftp://ftp.bu.edu/mirrors/simtelnet/
19:56 🔗 omf_ and it has a mirror list too
19:56 🔗 omf_ possibly a way to find more sites

20:17 🔗 Schbirid http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/
20:20 🔗 DFJustin http://beautifulfreebooks.tumblr.com/
20:23 🔗 omf_ I am teeing up cdrom.com as my followup to when the ispygames is done
20:23 🔗 omf_ 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 🔗 Schbirid i will have its idgames2/planetquake directory up soonish
20:24 🔗 Schbirid a mirror of it i mean
22:07 🔗 dashcloud GLaDOS: can you tell me about archiveyoursh.it ? is it a regular pastebin-type site or something more/else?
22:15 🔗 dashcloud so, here is some interesting stuff that folks might enjoy here: http://paste.archivingyoursh.it/mujadedado.1c
22:16 🔗 dashcloud 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 🔗 omf_ Thanks dashcloud anything gaming related is my area of interest
22:23 🔗 dashcloud 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 🔗 omf_ sure
22:28 🔗 dashcloud Have you downloaded a copy of the CD yet?
22:29 🔗 dashcloud https://archive.org/details/cdrom-internetgamesdirectorycd
22:29 🔗 BlueMax Damn I actually wanna see this for myself :P
22:30 🔗 omf_ I am downloading the iso now
22:33 🔗 BlueMax just quickly I went through the 25 ftp sites list
22:33 🔗 BlueMax most of them are either dead or passworded, no real surprise there
22:33 🔗 dashcloud there's definitely duplicates in that list- probably my fault (the one on the paste site)
22:34 🔗 omf_ yeah but I can also use them as search terms to find mirrors of them
22:34 🔗 omf_ speaking of which does any search engine provide an api now days
22:50 🔗 dashcloud so, for anyone who's downloaded the CD: go to the folder HTML
22:50 🔗 omf_ I am there
22:50 🔗 dashcloud each chapter is a single .HTM file- 10.HTM is the chapter on FTP sites
23:15 🔗 GLaDOS dashcloud: It's actually a nodejs application
23:15 🔗 dashcloud thanks!
23:15 🔗 GLaDOS Luckily, mod_proxy on lighttpd doesn't screw with it (unlike etherpad)

irclogger-viewer
