[00:03] So yeah, major ass suck [00:05] my job kind of depends on lots of random stuff [00:05] yup sounds like butts for you [00:05] because the company is going thru budget cuts etc [00:06] and I'm currently on 6 month contract finishing 9th march [00:06] so they letting a laod of people go, including me [00:07] cept _everyone_ thinks this is stupid, as I'm awesome (quite honestly I am... :/ ) [00:08] totally not tooting your own horn :P [00:08] if you are in NYC area StackExchange is hiring [00:08] BlueMax: lol. [00:08] arkhive: I'm not even in teh right country [00:08] and I really like it where I am :/ [00:08] just depends on so much randm shit [00:08] such as a girl who handed her notice in then withdrew it not returning [00:09] oh. damn. what country you in? [00:09] UK [00:09] normally it wouldn't be an issue, they'd keep me on, I'd become rich etc. [00:09] cept because of the _current_ budget cuts happening to fall just as my contract ends, I get screwed [00:09] hopefully I get something else in another part of the company and return on like 3rd april once they realise they have no actual staff left. [00:10] (there is like 8 people on long term leave, but they seem to ignore that fact.) [00:10] I know a girl who quit one job to go to another. She was at the new job 3 and a half days. went for lunch and txted them saying lol im not coming back. She is looking to try get her first job back (not going to happen). [00:10] http://stackexchange.com/about/hiring [00:11] Dud1: this girl's father in law won the euromillions [00:11] gave her 1 milliion gbp [00:11] she's spent most of it [00:11] she handed her notice in after going awol for a month [00:11] then she's withdrew it and is now (appently) claiming sick pay. [00:11] london has some jobs (just tryin' to help) but they are sales and financ3e [00:12] people who know her out of work say she isn't going to come back - but I can't just believe that and not do anything about it in the mean time. [00:12] arkhive: heh, can't move. baby on way, etc. [00:12] wouldn't move if i could tbh, too settled here. [00:12] ah [00:13] a lot of people i went to high school with are having kids now. and that's 23 -24 ish years old. seems young. [00:13] i don't know though. lol [00:13] congrats on baby btw [00:13] I'll be 30 on end of Jan. [00:14] right now hopes are iether she decides she isn't coming back, and they let me know [00:14] or theres a job I've asked about for a team being formed currently [00:14] or i get into the next bunch of customer service guys and work on the phones for awhile (Ewwww!) [00:15] what do you do now? [00:15] if that isn't possible then it's working else where :/ [00:16] not where but like type. [00:16] note to self: do not ls on a directory that occupies 58 megabytes [00:16] arkhive: I work for Severn Trent Water monitoring alarms for the network [00:17] ah [00:18] best of luck man. i hope it all works out :) [00:28] me too :< [00:28] just so confused atm :/ [07:24] The head of the largest bank in the US said Thursday that bitcoin is a "terrible store of value," in part because international governments, bankers, and other officials are unsure whether they can trust the digital currency. [07:24] head of bank says competitor is awful [07:24] news at 11 [08:22] man it's good to see pirate music is still going as a thing [10:59] so i think something sane will have to be done with my upload of abc news videos [10:59] i think i will not be one video per a item [11:00] i say this cause i think cause there are so may segments and crap that i would be best to do one of videos = one item [11:01] but then again i may change my mind on that one [12:07] https://vpsboard.com/topic/3332-average-bandwidth-use/#entry49834 [12:07] this is kind of disappointing actually [12:07] I expected to have used more traffic [12:13] the 4TB drive is paying off i see. [12:34] midas: :) [12:34] ;-) [12:34] midas: /dev/sda2 1.8T 682G 1.1T 39% / [12:34] still grabbing ftp.microsoft.com joepie9? [12:34] yeah [12:34] nice [12:34] wonder how big it will get [12:35] pretty big, probably [12:35] and their FTP is slow as shit [12:35] lol [12:35] considering to maybe throw filezilla at it [12:36] €˜ftp.uni-muenster.de is pritty slow, only 200KB/s [12:36] gatekeeper.dec.com is _very_ slow [12:36] about 80KB/s [12:36] if not 0 [12:43] rest is pulling in at 140Mbit/s [12:51] right, using filezilla now [12:51] 8 threads \o/ [12:53] Filezille rocks although I prefer WinSCP despite it can do SCP too [12:53] filezilla [12:56] not a terrible fan of filezilla, but hey, it does threaded transfers [12:56] :) [12:56] Good enough for me :) [13:00] i'm riping maximum pc cds with ddrescue [13:00] i ran this to fix 6kb error block: ddrescue -d -r3 -b 2048 /dev/sr0 maximum-cd-2001-03.iso logfile [13:01] it had to be done twice so they would be no errors [13:05] 65G ftp.microsoft.com [13:05] so far [13:05] godane: did you eventually get 0kb error size? [13:07] yes [13:08] awesome :) [13:33] funny how 2001-09 and 2001-10 of maximum pc cds only have NEW has volume name [13:42] so november 2001 maximum pc cd is under 400mb [13:42] but has stuff like half-life sofware developers' kit version 2.2 [13:46] i'm starting the uploading [14:00] When we come in and look, we find a lot of these very poor mastering jobs with cover CDs. [14:38] I have some misc old cds at home, would I just copy the contents, compress them (with 7zip?) and upload them? [14:41] SketchCow: how much storage does Archive.org have anyway? [14:46] Dud1: are they damaged? [14:46] ("damaged" includes "all scratchy because of frequent use") [14:47] I don't think so. But I wouldn't have all the cds in a set (I might have cd 1 and 3, but not 2) [14:47] something is better than nothing :) [14:47] anyway, what OS are you on? [14:51] Windows 7 [14:59] Dud1: ah, hm [15:00] Dud1: well, you can use something like cdburnerxp to make an ISO [15:00] but if a disk is damaged you're pretty much screwed [15:00] I am not aware of a ddrescue equivalent for Windows [15:00] Dud1: and just upload them as ISOs, don't compress them :) [15:01] I have a mac on a vm and been meaning to install some linux distro on a vm as well. [15:05] Dud1: that'll only work if the VM has direct access to your disc drive [15:06] direct hardware access, not just "I can make the drive appear in the VM" [15:06] (iirc) [15:07] Right okay, I'll try grab what I can. What's the story in term of copyright etc? Copy them anyway? [15:12] copy all the things [15:18] Dud1: archiveteam does not care. [15:18] archive.org will hide them if needed [15:18] Okay nice to know thanks :) [15:39] awesome: https://twitter.com/KevinCapolino/status/426712999525490689 [15:39] (also, fwiw, if you have damaged CDs/DVDs and do not have the hardware or setup to recover them, you can ship them to me and I can work on them :P) [15:48] lol, it searches isohunt! [15:50] searched* [15:50] lol [15:51] midas: coming to think of it... [15:51] what I remember of the code behind this application, tells me that there is absolutely no valid reason for it to work without crashing [15:52] hah [15:52] "on error resume next" [15:52] fixed! [15:53] noooo [15:55] midas: no [15:55] bad [16:00] so i found abc news now: time tunnel segments [16:15] mac 128k teardown http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Macintosh+128K+Teardown/21422 [16:20] http://usvsth3m.com/post/74285062011/you-wont-believe-why-the-victoria-line-is-currently NSFServeradmins [16:21] luckily they managed to clean it up quickly enough in time to reopen the line in time for start of morning service today [16:21] through the application of some very hastily-purchased sugar [16:22] ugh, too many in-times there. whatever. it's POETS day, I've already mentally left the office [16:28] i currently use 64 kilobit/s internet .( [16:56] so 2001 maximum pc cds are uploaded now [19:15] hm, gmail is down.
