01:01 🔗 godane The Last Lasterdisc Player: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1suUwTOptsU
01:02 🔗 godane from the Regular Show
01:17 🔗 arkhive godane: that's awesome.
01:36 🔗 Coderjoe haha
01:36 🔗 Coderjoe nit: "reel to reel"
01:53 🔗 omf_ so I just logged into my yahoo mail... it fucking sucks just as much as gmail
01:53 🔗 omf_ time to cancel it
01:54 🔗 omf_ I am so glad that chat and shit are stuck into my mail interface
01:59 🔗 omf_ also this 999+ shit instead of listing how many email there are is crap
01:59 🔗 omf_ Every free service is becoming more shitty
01:59 🔗 Coderjoe yeah, they broke that awhile ago
01:59 🔗 Coderjoe it used to actually say
01:59 🔗 Coderjoe but now, no, we can't spend the time to keep track of that shit
02:00 🔗 omf_ I used yahoo mail for 10 years
02:00 🔗 omf_ since then I have been bouncing around and it is all just junk
02:00 🔗 Coderjoe or how about "what the hell are you doing with over 1000 unread messages?!"
02:01 🔗 omf_ fuck chat, messages, notifications and anything not my fucking email. Fuck auto address books, calendar integration, and shitty search
02:01 🔗 omf_ I don't read email
02:02 🔗 omf_ If you are writing a technical email to someone, why not make it a blog post
02:02 🔗 omf_ why email when if the message is short enough you can text
02:02 🔗 omf_ once you remove mailing lists I get in contact with people on social email, email is just less important for me to get a hold of people
02:03 🔗 omf_ and I used to really like email, then we had HTML emails which still suck
02:03 🔗 omf_ I am just browsing these emails looking for any old billing accounts I would want to save
02:04 🔗 omf_ to continue my rant take bill paying. They email the bill and notices and promotions, the reality for me is I just log into their site and pay, all those emails were not needed yet now I have all them.
02:04 🔗 omf_ college loans are the best
02:06 🔗 omf_ sorry. scratch that. Fucking alumni associations are the best. Please give us MOAR MONIES!!!
02:08 🔗 dashcloud while we're complaining about things, I'll add a couple: reading comments on videos online, and deciding to check work email off-hours
02:09 🔗 omf_ oh fuck dashcloud you hit the ultra big one. NEVER fucking check work email off-hours, it always ends in a big fat middle finger two stories tall
02:09 🔗 omf_ I have been lucky that if something actually blows up I get a text message
02:10 🔗 dashcloud normally all I get is promos and marketing materials- this time it was actually something
02:10 🔗 omf_ jesus I still have an open sourceforge account, ugh
02:12 🔗 omf_ I would spill the blood of many innocent children to get a good fucking webmail client
02:13 🔗 dashcloud have you tried outlook.com ? you've tried all the other big players
02:14 🔗 omf_ gmail, yahoo, outlook, hushmail and some others I am forgetting
02:16 🔗 omf_ Think of all the effort put in to instragram and like and email is still broken. I am just going to stick with a desktop client again
02:17 🔗 dashcloud good luck there- you've traded one problem for another
02:17 🔗 dashcloud how will you get email into your client now? POP3 probably, IMAP4 if you're lucky
02:18 🔗 omf_ I will just setup my own email server, I have done it dozens of times for work
02:18 🔗 omf_ and open source projects
02:19 🔗 Coderjoe well, the stuff you complained about are seen as features to many people
02:20 🔗 omf_ oh I get that but I want just email and great search
02:20 🔗 Coderjoe in another channel, we have something named "rain's maxim" (after one of the people in the channel)
02:20 🔗 Coderjoe "It is true that all mail clients suck and that whichever one you try will be an exercise in frustration, and if you move to another mail client for frustration with the old, you will be equally angered by the new mail client."
02:21 🔗 omf_ for example why can't I tell the web client how many messages I want on load based on count or based on date or days ago? Google and the like limit how many messages you can view at a time
02:23 🔗 omf_ I have seen plenty of smart people use email correctly
02:24 🔗 omf_ it is just the bulk of everyone else. I would put money there are more proficient with email than a random sampling of internet users
02:25 🔗 omf_ I get things have changed and I embrace it. I do more writing to wikis, github projects and the like than to email so everyone gets it and it can be improved upon
02:26 🔗 omf_ I still do personal email to friends but that is about it
02:27 🔗 BlueMax Hi
02:54 🔗 omf_ 700 emails erased, 45 kept
02:56 🔗 omf_ only 2000 left to skim then download the other thousands that are saved and kill this account.
02:56 🔗 omf_ in short. FUCK YOU CLOUD
03:53 🔗 omf_ 400 more down, now to finish a different task
06:03 🔗 godane so i'm uploaded up to 77 episodes of HD Nation now
06:23 🔗 BlueMax I found a website that can show me every link on a page but it's gonna take a while to get all the results I need from that
06:25 🔗 BlueMax wait nope it's not gonna work the way I want. bugger.
08:04 🔗 winr4r BlueMax: dude use cygwin or something
08:04 🔗 winr4r wget + grep/sed
08:09 🔗 BlueMax lol winr4r I already have what I need, sorry
08:11 🔗 BlueMax http://bluemaxima.org/thegame/
08:12 🔗 BlueMax Try it out now, it should redirect you to a random textfile every time
08:12 🔗 BlueMax Note that the game is 5MB so it may take a few seconds to load
08:12 🔗 BlueMax (beeping SketchCow because he may have interest in this)
08:12 🔗 SketchCow What
08:13 🔗 winr4r BlueMax: for future reference (like when you get cygwin): lynx -dump http://somesite/ | grep '^ *[0-9]*\. http' | sed 's/^ *[0-9]*\. //'
08:13 🔗 winr4r you're welcome
08:14 🔗 BlueMax lol thanks winr4r
08:14 🔗 winr4r BlueMax: does not recognise DONG as swear word
08:14 🔗 BlueMax SketchCow I made a silly little game that goes to random textfiles at the end for no real reason
08:15 🔗 winr4r son, i am disappoint
08:15 🔗 BlueMax dong isn't a swear word...is it?
08:16 🔗 winr4r also BOLLOCKS, BLOODY, WANK
08:16 🔗 winr4r your swearing repertoire needs work
08:17 🔗 BlueMax :P
08:17 🔗 BlueMax bloody brits
08:20 🔗 BlueMax whoops
08:20 🔗 BlueMax just realised there's a bug in there
08:20 🔗 BlueMax better fix that right quick
08:21 🔗 BlueMax there problem solved
08:23 🔗 BlueMax I understand it's a piece of shit right now but what do you think :P
08:32 🔗 winr4r i don't know what to think!
08:33 🔗 BlueMax and that worries me.
08:36 🔗 winr4r because the opinion of one guy on an IRC channel actually makes you lose sleep?
08:36 🔗 winr4r probably shouldn't
08:40 🔗 arrith1 sometimes life is like that
08:41 🔗 arrith1 true streets, lives line
08:42 🔗 * winr4r tries to parse that sentence, tilts head
08:43 🔗 arrith1 it's a quote i'm trying to remember but failing atm
08:45 🔗 winr4r oh!
09:58 🔗 godane i just found the full IRS Rally Event that happened 2 weeks ago
10:06 🔗 GLaDOS Woo, cheap and shitty VPS providers.
10:06 🔗 GLaDOS Fuck this, I'm playing badminton.
10:13 🔗 arrith1 dd on my ubuntu 12.04 can't truncate files bigger than (2^44 - 2^12) bytes, said another way, 16 terabytes - 4 kilobytes. (base 2, TiB and KiB)
10:15 🔗 arrith1 there's probably another way to make a huge sparsefile, but i suppose one could cat the ~16 TiB ones together until the desired size is met, that takes up space though i think
10:15 🔗 arrith1 moreso than just the original dd method that is
12:05 🔗 omf_ ugh another night of zero sleep, insomnia is going to kill me one day
12:18 🔗 omf_ Another thing I love is when a fuckhead recruiter sends me an email with 25 different job positions and says which one are you qualified for after stating he read my resume
12:21 🔗 omf_ http://classiccmp.org/ is now down :(
12:37 🔗 godane its not down now
12:38 🔗 omf_ wow no www redirect if not used... are we back in 1995 again?
12:39 🔗 godane www.classiccmp.org works also
12:45 🔗 godane i plan on pushing foundation episodes up today
13:15 🔗 ersi damn it and fuuuck
13:16 🔗 ersi killed my work laptop with coffee
13:17 🔗 ivan` do you have an intern who can spend all day disassembling and assembling it? ;)
13:17 🔗 ersi we do have some lame IT Manager guy
13:20 🔗 ersi it's his problem now, but still super annoying
13:20 🔗 ersi fried the keyboard, so it's constantly pushing buttons.. can't plug in a new keyboard and just.. work around it :/
13:20 🔗 ersi two months old Dell XPS 13 (Sputnik Edition) :(
13:21 🔗 SmileyG 2 months old?
13:21 🔗 SmileyG ouch
13:21 🔗 SmileyG and be nice to IT guys (if they are any good).
13:21 🔗 ivan` I wish all laptops could pop out the keyboard as easily as the Powerbook G4s
13:21 🔗 ersi Well, he's.. like older than my dad and writes with his index fingers
13:21 🔗 ersi Also, Windows guy.. :)
13:21 🔗 SmileyG ersi: ouch, do they want to hire me remotely? xD
13:21 🔗 SmileyG RUN, RUN NOW
13:21 🔗 SmileyG RUN FAST
13:21 🔗 ersi Didn't say he was crappy, just.. lame
13:22 🔗 ersi The previous IT Manager was awesome, but he quit.. for you know, the sake of his mind
13:22 🔗 SmileyG I think most do.
13:22 🔗 * SmileyG will one day.
13:22 🔗 SmileyG But for now I can be lazy, and be awesome, and get paid for it so...
13:22 🔗 SmileyG I'm currently working out how fast we are likely to fall through the floor of our server room
13:42 🔗 winr4r ersi: get it apart quick!
13:42 🔗 winr4r although
13:42 🔗 winr4r i'm kind of 20 minutes too late for tha
13:42 🔗 winr4r +t
13:43 🔗 ersi Well, yeah.. easier said than done.. fucking torx or something
13:44 🔗 winr4r the bastards
13:44 🔗 ersi also, the keyboard is fused with the shell
13:45 🔗 BlueMax christ that coffee must have been hot
13:45 🔗 ersi not very
13:45 🔗 BlueMax joke, ersi :P
13:45 🔗 ersi not funny, like usual

13:50 🔗 winr4r (except me)
13:52 🔗 omf_ 600 more emails down. Less than 1,000 left and this yahoo! account gets closed
14:03 🔗 joepie91 omf_, what are you doing?
14:09 🔗 joepie91 SketchCow, I'm unsure what client you use and whether it notifies you of PMs in an obvious manner, but if you get here, I've left you a PM :P
14:29 🔗 omf_ joepie91, cleaning out my yahoo account before I close it
14:40 🔗 joepie91 aha
14:41 🔗 SketchCow Just saw.
14:43 🔗 ivan` hai guys 0 days left for greader
14:46 🔗 SmileyG If it was in warrior I'd be running it :/
14:47 🔗 winr4r isn't the feeds api going to be available post-closure?
14:48 🔗 ivan` the Feed API is supposed to stay up but it only gives you 100 items
14:48 🔗 ivan` Reader API gives you 300,000
14:48 🔗 omf_ I thought it was 1000 for the Feed API
14:48 🔗 ivan` maybe, not sure
14:48 🔗 omf_ not nearly as big as reader api
15:03 🔗 winr4r ah :\
15:04 🔗 SmileyG laters guys, home time :)))
15:09 🔗 ersi SmileyG: Well, problem isn't really people who download.. It's finding new feeds

17:28 🔗 omf_ derp
17:56 🔗 xmc berp

20:06 🔗 arkhive Have pretty much all video games been dumped?
20:06 🔗 arkhive besides the mega ld? or is there a list that haven't been dumped?
20:12 🔗 arkhive (all the main/popular systems, not like ones you hook the joystick directly to your tv via composite)
20:18 🔗 Smiley So yeah
20:18 🔗 Smiley I accidewntly (but fortunately) backed up my backups
20:18 🔗 Smiley it isn't a major loss if I didn't, but as I screwed up my raid, it makes life easier at least :D
21:22 🔗 DFJustin arkhive: a pretty high percentage have been dumped but there's always more
21:22 🔗 DFJustin e.g. http://mamedev.emulab.it/undumped/ for arcade games
21:24 🔗 DFJustin for console games http://forums.no-intro.org/viewforum.php?f=8
21:27 🔗 DFJustin for systems http://mess.org/dumping/wanted although it's probably out of date now
21:51 🔗 useretail hey guys, did you manage to mirror gamefaqs.com?
21:53 🔗 winr4r useretail: talk to Smiley
21:54 🔗 winr4r was that one of the IGN sites?
21:56 🔗 useretail not sure about that
21:57 🔗 useretail GameSpot / CBS Interactive Inc
21:57 🔗 winr4r oh
