06:17 🔗 SketchCow Thank you
06:17 🔗 SketchCow I have wasted weeks just MOVING AROUND data
06:17 🔗 SketchCow Much less the time spent trying to massage it into something possible to put on archive.org
06:19 🔗 chronomex OKAY
06:19 🔗 chronomex GOOD IDEA
06:20 🔗 SketchCow Hold me to that shit or at least remind me
06:23 🔗 chronomex okay
06:28 🔗 SketchCow I wish the Profiles was complete.
06:28 🔗 SketchCow I am worried someone will see my collection on archive.org and then think it's complete

06:35 🔗 ersi "Carol Bartz is out as Yahoo's CEO"
07:07 🔗 SketchCow Fired by phone!
07:19 🔗 SketchCow http://twitter.com/#!/archiveteam/status/111337658378223616

07:21 🔗 ersi (I dunno, I'm not a tweeter)
07:39 🔗 SketchCow http://twitter.com/#!/textfiles/status/111342180550983680
07:59 🔗 chronomex a quarter million pages, hot damn
08:04 🔗 * chronomex restarts geocities torrent seed
08:04 🔗 chronomex hahaha, the comments on tpb are funny
08:04 🔗 chronomex http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6353395/Geocities_-_The_PATCHED_Torrent
08:05 🔗 chronomex Seeeeeeeeeed you guys are so selfish, come on. Its only 641gb
08:07 🔗 Cameron_D I started downloading it the other day, but then I had a power outage and my NAS' bit torrent keeps crashing while trying to verify the progress
08:07 🔗 chronomex that's lame
08:07 🔗 chronomex my seed was offline for a while for no good reason
08:08 🔗 chronomex but I've got permission to use that box to seed it just about forever
08:26 🔗 godane just watch strange days
08:27 🔗 godane i think minidisc-like device would have to be in TBs though
10:07 🔗 kin37ik yahoo has just come up for sale, CEO just got fired lol
10:13 🔗 chronomex who's going to buy yahoo?
10:13 🔗 josephwdy Your mom.
10:13 🔗 chronomex I don't know of anyone who likes deleting things better
10:14 🔗 kin37ik lol i hate yahoo just as much as the next person but i doubt anyone will buy it
10:14 🔗 chronomex I think archiveteam should put in a bid, if only to prevent them from deleting other things
10:14 🔗 josephwdy They still have a few good products and talent
10:14 🔗 Cameron_D They will want the pleasure of pressing the delete key themselves, as if that will sell.
10:14 🔗 Cameron_D s/that/they
10:15 🔗 kin37ik they basically just called the CEO up on the phone, uhh, whats her face, Carol Bartz and said "hows it going?" by the way, your fired"
10:39 🔗 ersi http://codepo8.github.com/CSS3-Rainbow-Dividers/
10:40 🔗 ersi josephwdy: LOL
10:46 🔗 SpaceCore ersi: subtly reminds me of geocities for some reason
10:46 🔗 SpaceCore except a lot smoother
11:01 🔗 inv anyone got experience with ripping myspace profiles?
11:01 🔗 inv I'm closing my old account (which has been inactive since 2008)
11:01 🔗 godane myspace will need to be downloaded
11:02 🔗 Cameron_D use it as a test
11:02 🔗 inv right now I've opened all of my friends and I'm copying all the urls manually
11:02 🔗 inv which works
11:02 🔗 inv :)
11:02 🔗 Cameron_D are they just numeric IDs for the URLs?
11:02 🔗 godane only so there is mirror of myspace before it gets delete
11:03 🔗 SpaceCore Cameron_D: you can input an alias I think
11:03 🔗 inv I think there're hashes
11:03 🔗 chronomex there are numeric ids
11:04 🔗 SpaceCore hang on a second, I'll have a look AFTER I fix a certain preview Cameron_D decided to rainbowify ._.
11:04 🔗 chronomex e.g. http://myspace.com/11119444
11:05 🔗 Cameron_D oh well that makes it a fair bit easier
11:05 🔗 chronomex indeedio
11:05 🔗 chronomex all profiles are accessible by numeric ids; the named profiles have multiple canonical urls
11:05 🔗 SpaceCore now to, as usual, do the first million
11:05 🔗 chronomex I think the named ones redirect from numbers to names
11:06 🔗 Cameron_D oh and they have an API, may make it easier to access friends and such
11:07 🔗 SpaceCore Cameron_D: not if it's allow access based
11:09 🔗 SpaceCore Oh, and if we do find a way, start at 2
11:22 🔗 chronomex heh
11:28 🔗 kin37ik time to poke some url's me thinks
11:28 🔗 SpaceCore yep
11:29 🔗 kin37ik anyone poked fortunecity yet?
11:41 🔗 kin37ik this is going to be an interesting result
12:23 🔗 kin37ik well, that should be enough url poking tonight, might as well smash out more gb's on the geocities torrent
12:25 🔗 SketchCow Use the archive.org item.
12:27 🔗 SketchCow 67 issues of Australian National OS9 Newsletter coming up
12:29 🔗 kin37ik ok?
12:30 🔗 SketchCow http://www.archive.org/details/2009-archiveteam-geocities-part1
12:31 🔗 kin37ik is that the patched one?
12:32 🔗 Cameron_D im gonig to stick with the torrent just so I can seed it
12:33 🔗 kin37ik im already sitting on the torrent about 300gb's in, ill have to grab the patched ones after
12:35 🔗 SpaceCore Cameron_D: dreamhost server?
12:35 🔗 Cameron_D no, my home server, DH don't allow torrents
12:36 🔗 SpaceCore well, my connection is screwed.
12:36 🔗 Cameron_D its been downloading for several days already
12:36 🔗 SpaceCore oh
12:36 🔗 SpaceCore that explains the slowness
12:37 🔗 Cameron_D its not at a rate that should slow stuff down
12:39 🔗 SpaceCore I'm getting 15kbps max
12:39 🔗 kin37ik ouch
12:40 🔗 SpaceCore It's what I get for using a SSH tunnel over satellite
12:42 🔗 kin37ik heh, id rather stick to wired
12:42 🔗 SpaceCore I get 30kbps whenever Cameron_D isn't torrenting, but meh
12:42 🔗 SpaceCore If all else fails, the zncserver has sslh running
12:42 🔗 ersi SketchCow: http://census.ire.org/ Here's some census data to ingest
12:43 🔗 kin37ik i wouldnt be able to live off 30kbps, id get way too impatient lol
12:44 🔗 SpaceCore If I use Internet Explorer, which is configured to go through the crap Squid Proxy here, I get about 150kbps
12:44 🔗 * SpaceCore is australian, and thus, doesn't know any faster internet
12:44 🔗 kin37ik im aussie too as well lol, max speed i can get is about 800kbps at the moment
12:45 🔗 SketchCow ersi: Huh
12:46 🔗 kin37ik sweet, 3TB drives dropped in price
12:47 🔗 ersi SketchCow: Ha?
12:51 🔗 emijrp The move from 2 TB to 3TB is being slow.
12:52 🔗 kin37ik a bit, but surely making it's way.
12:52 🔗 SpaceCore kin37ik: ;_; I want speeds like that
12:53 🔗 kin37ik SpaceCore: it's grand to have in some cases, and other cases it just sucks S:
12:53 🔗 SpaceCore How could that suck?
12:54 🔗 kin37ik well, for example if im trying to download a torrent with data i want, the seeders might have terrible upload speed so
12:54 🔗 kin37ik i dont get full speed
12:55 🔗 SpaceCore Ah
12:56 🔗 kin37ik yeah, happends a little bit on the geo torrent, but not too often
13:00 🔗 emijrp STOP ARCHIVING http://images.encyclopediadramatica.ch/0/0e/Pope_stop_posting.jpg
13:00 🔗 ersi emijrp: ...
13:01 🔗 SpaceCore emijrp: where's the fun and history in that?
13:03 🔗 Cameron_D I perfer this option http://i.imgur.com/wdTAH.jpg
13:03 🔗 * ersi nods
13:03 🔗 ersi Now, let's stop sharing pictures
13:04 🔗 emijrp Can I share ASCII pics? Pl0x.
13:04 🔗 kin37ik that sounds like a bad idea.
13:05 🔗 ersi Don't make me come over there and slap you
13:05 🔗 kin37ik just slap them anyway lol
13:08 🔗 emijrp SketchCow: thanks for talk about wikiteam at DEFCON, it was only a few seconds, but, man, DEFCON
13:27 🔗 SketchCow I contend wikiteam is one of the single most important outcomes of archiveteam.
13:28 🔗 SpaceCore emijrp: <SketchyCow> I contend wikiteam is one of the single most important outcomes of archiveteam.
13:28 🔗 SpaceCore that was said 1 second before you rejoined
13:28 🔗 josephwdy hey
13:30 🔗 emijrp thanks SpaceCore
13:33 🔗 godane do you need the full 641gb of geocities to uncompress it
13:34 🔗 kin37ik no
13:34 🔗 godane oh
13:34 🔗 kin37ik you can grab some parts and just unzip/unrar, though
13:34 🔗 godane i thought cause it had .7z.001 .7z.002 etc
13:34 🔗 kin37ik youd want to do it on a linux/unix box, because windows isnt case sensitive so will overwrite files
13:35 🔗 kin37ik some parts will be one archive altogether, some parts wont be
13:35 🔗 godane i'm on slitaz so not a problem
13:35 🔗 godane ok
13:40 🔗 kin37ik hmm
13:40 🔗 SketchCow OK, that's weird
13:40 🔗 SketchCow the UK PC Plus magazine just promoed my magazine uploads to archive.org
13:42 🔗 ersi Neat
13:46 🔗 SpaceCore Nice
13:47 🔗 kin37ik hmm, this is odd
13:50 🔗 kin37ik doesnt anyone have a directory structure of fortune city?
13:50 🔗 kin37ik does*
13:58 🔗 SketchCow Finished uploading all of SoftSide
13:59 🔗 Schbirid now everyone can have a part of your soft side
14:00 🔗 SketchCow
14:00 🔗 SketchCow Dear Jason,
14:00 🔗 SketchCow My name is Maria Norrman and I am getting in touch from Al Jazeera English television. We are looking into the sacking of the Yahoo CEO and the competition between Yahoo and google etc. Is this something you could talk about? Would you be available around 5pm this evening for a live studio interview on this topic?
14:01 🔗 db48x heh
14:01 🔗 kin37ik lolwat
14:01 🔗 lowtekk haha
14:02 🔗 ersi Go for it, shame her on TV :-)
14:02 🔗 ersi hehe, nice surname.. "Maria Norwegian"
14:03 🔗 lowtekk it seems that Al Jazeera is less likely to portray you as some monster, over some of their ilk
14:05 🔗 kin37ik yahoo had it comming, just saying.
14:07 🔗 SketchCow I've been interviewed by Al Jazeera before.
14:07 🔗 SketchCow S'no big deal
14:07 🔗 lowtekk yahoo is a general headscratcher these days, it seems
14:07 🔗 kin37ik headscratcher? well beyond a headscratcher i'd say
14:08 🔗 SketchCow It's the board, they're desperate
14:08 🔗 lowtekk did they treat you and the interview fairly, out of curiousity?
14:08 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, I did fine.
14:08 🔗 SketchCow It was short, I assume this was short.
14:09 🔗 SketchCow Just sanity checking with girl, then will probably say yes.
14:09 🔗 SketchCow But I am ONLY interested insofar as the historical loss
14:09 🔗 SketchCow I.e. I don't CARE about the financial issues.
14:10 🔗 SketchCow Beyond incredulity they never spin anything off
14:12 🔗 lowtekk it's broadcast over the air here, which is nice since I'm too cheap to pay for cable
14:12 🔗 kin37ik the web is totally alight now with everyone catching on that the CEO got fired
14:13 🔗 kin37ik quite a few news articles are picking a bit of a bone with yahoo as well
14:13 🔗 josephwdy I am pretty they have a freee live steeam on their site
14:14 🔗 josephwdy http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/ yup
14:14 🔗 lowtekk josephwdy: they do,
14:14 🔗 josephwdy lowtekk: I win :D
14:14 🔗 lowtekk but there's something to be said for getting out the bunny ears and pulling it in, saves me from firing up the HTPC
14:14 🔗 lowtekk josephwdy: heh, no comment :)
14:15 🔗 SketchCow I just said yes but stressed I'm a historian, not a pundit/financial guy
14:16 🔗 SketchCow I think history will make it quite clear that Yahoo's final fatal mistake was not accepting the Microsoft buyout offer.
14:16 🔗 kin37ik thats being pointed out on online news
14:16 🔗 SketchCow Everything after that is just window dressing.
14:17 🔗 SketchCow The hubris is amazing, on Yang's part.
14:17 🔗 SketchCow Good morning (here) Maria. I've been interviewed by you folks before,
14:17 🔗 SketchCow and found you fair and intelligent, so I'd be up for an interview. I
14:17 🔗 SketchCow gigabytes of user content as they desperately slimmed down, failing to
14:17 🔗 SketchCow must say, however, that 100% of my Yahoo! experience is as a data
14:17 🔗 SketchCow preservation activist who has seen the company destroy untold
14:17 🔗 SketchCow spin anything off. I don't know if you're looking for that perspective
14:17 🔗 SketchCow or another aspect of statements I've made about Yahoo! over the years.
14:17 🔗 SketchCow ---
14:17 🔗 SketchCow So that's my response.
14:17 🔗 SketchCow I figure I might as well give a media class too.
14:17 🔗 SketchCow Here
14:18 🔗 SketchCow I also sent e-mail to my best buddy, who lives up here - if this flies, he can come with me down to NYC for the interview, come back.
14:18 🔗 SketchCow There's no Al Jazeera studio in NYC, realize. They'll have a freelancer show up at a studio and they'll put me in the studio.
14:19 🔗 SpaceCore Seems intelligent, and points out "I only care about the history"
14:19 🔗 kin37ik sounds good
14:19 🔗 SketchCow Last time, I was at... I think it was CNN
14:20 🔗 SketchCow Or maybe CBS
14:20 🔗 SketchCow They put me in the newsroom, set up a chair overlooking tons of desks and monitors
14:20 🔗 ersi I think I remember it being CBS, if it was about teh cat
14:21 🔗 SketchCow This was about Wikipedia's 10th anniversary
14:24 🔗 ersi Oh, heh
14:24 🔗 SketchCow January
14:24 🔗 SketchCow Moot of 4chan was off camera, which made it funnier
14:24 🔗 SketchCow We'd been hanging out, we dipped in for this thing
14:25 🔗 SketchCow Bear in mind that last time, the time from walk in, go up elevator, prep interview, DO interview, unprep, use the can, out on street was 20 minutes.
14:25 🔗 SpaceCore heh
14:25 🔗 lowtekk moots a rather chill fellow, we hung out in baltimore a while back
14:28 🔗 josephwdy Because I was bored, I made an archiveteam subreddit .
14:28 🔗 josephwdy http://www.reddit.com/r/Archiveteam
14:28 🔗 ersi zomg, then we can start AT 2.0
14:29 🔗 emijrp AT BBS.
14:33 🔗 SpaceCore Quassel has successfully tricked me into thinking I just parted 72 channels.
14:42 🔗 SketchCow Oops, they specifically want financial angle.
14:42 🔗 ersi Too bad for them
14:43 🔗 SketchCow Sometimes, the best choice in being a presswhore is to say no.
15:01 🔗 SketchCow Uploading TV Gamer magazine
15:02 🔗 SketchCow Today's the day I get the video digitizer back up to full
15:22 🔗 SketchCow ha ha
15:24 🔗 SketchCow Some old co-worker friends me on facebook
15:25 🔗 SketchCow I go "huh, who was that"

21:56 🔗 db48x yea
21:56 🔗 db48x I don't think anybody at archive.org thinks it's an _ideal_ solution
21:57 🔗 db48x but often all they have is scanned images of pages, so it works in the general case
21:57 🔗 db48x it'll be interesting to see how hard it would be to use that new javascript-based pdf renderer instead
21:59 🔗 SketchCow I love jwz
21:59 🔗 SketchCow NOTHING makes him happy
21:59 🔗 SketchCow NOTHING
21:59 🔗 SketchCow I just posted on his entry

22:21 🔗 alard Hey guys: does anyone know where I can find a list of Google Desktop version numbers?
22:21 🔗 db48x alard: odd question
22:22 🔗 alard Why? I'm archiving desktop.google.com, on SketchCow's request, and I'm currently downloading the most recent version.
22:22 🔗 alard But it would be fun to get the previous versions as well.
22:22 🔗 SketchCow Thanks for doing it, alard
22:22 🔗 alard Ah, wikipedia seems to have a list.
22:23 🔗 db48x ah, you suspect that you can download the older versions by munging the url even though they don't link to them directly
22:27 🔗 alard Apparently it works for version 5.2 to 5.8.
22:28 🔗 chronomex I like the archive.org reader, mostly because pdf reading tools almost universally suck
22:31 🔗 chronomex the best one I've found for Linux is FoxitReader, but it still isn't 100% keyboard accessible
