[05:44] wow [05:44] hi ya [05:44] I feel the geocities love [07:38] <3 [07:40] <3 [11:30] So, the official Tribes: Ascend forums will be shut down within 24 hours (http://www.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/home/latest-news/view/hi-rez-studios-blog/2013/08/05/hi-rez-communication-focus). Is this worth archiving? [11:31] There will probably be somebody in a few years who needs information from these forums [11:53] ouch [11:54] besc: yes, [11:55] SmileyG, http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Wget is this all I need? [11:55] I already got a grab going [11:55] Oh, good! [11:56] omf_: Oh good boy :) [11:56] besc: yes it is, however if omf_ is on it, you can lean back and relax [11:56] feel free to do your own grab too however. [11:56] besc: theres a forum example, :) [11:57] I got a 5 thread httrack scooping everything up [11:58] There are 290,549 posts [11:58] in 13,991 topics [11:58] omf_: ... warc? [11:58] I wrote a httrack to warc converter [11:59] :O [11:59] does it work? :D [11:59] fuck wget [11:59] I have to ask, and share that thing! [11:59] From the tests it all looks good [11:59] I did a comparison against wgets of the same site [11:59] and looked at that shitty arc converter [12:00] 2,007,735 users on this forum [12:00] and yes SmileyG it is open source [12:00] ok I hadn't seen a link for it :P [12:01] It is part of a bundle I working on releasing [12:01] have all the tools in one simple to install package [12:02] I see more complaints about how to install the software than how to use it [12:04] This isn't the 90s anymore, software shouldn't be hard to install [12:05] or require above a minimal amount of brain activity. [12:05] We all have more important things to do [12:10] yes [12:10] but I want source :D [12:11] Patience is a virtue :D [12:11] beware the dead donkey [12:11] falling from the sky [12:11] when your living happily [12:12] then suddenly you die. [12:12] If you are going to open source it anway, why not do it now? See the Myth of the Genius Programmer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SARbwvhupQ [12:13] it should be on github or whatever. [12:14] Back. [12:15] OK, alive. [12:15] What did I miss? [12:15] yahoo killed some shit [12:15] rockmelt is going away [12:15] hmmmm some tribes forum going away, we are grabbing. [12:16] puush made some serious progress [12:16] NO NOT ROCKMELT [12:16] And still no sign of alard. [12:16] Some days, we're the only ones likely caring about some of these. [12:17] How can they just delete this? http://rockmelt.com/?tile=QpawMv9zlL5uoeRXr3lwWKVzPaw&user=lox&coupon=c5whr3b [12:19] I think there are one or two other sites going down [12:19] omf_: shitty arc converter? :o [12:25] catch is the other site closing [13:07] SketchCow: hey [13:08] Dr. kiki science hour videos is fully uploaded [13:08] i also got maxwell's house twit videos [13:09] all audio of that show has been uploaded by some else [13:51] http://www.dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres_are_switching_written_numbers_when_scanning? [13:52] When is a 6 not a 6? When it's an 8 of course! [19:05] Hey. [19:05] I read the article, the bug makes sense and isn't sinister, but it's a hilarious bug. [19:05] :D [19:18] I think we need to do a backup of a site because of management change and possible closing of old content. Jeff Bezos is buying the Washington Post [19:18] http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/washington-post-to-be-sold-to-jeff-bezos/2013/08/05/ca537c9e-fe0c-11e2-9711-3708310f6f4d_story.html [19:18] that is a really large paper in the US [19:24] i was thinking that too [19:41] only up to 1.16 gb on the forums even with 5 pages at a time [19:41] their site is slow [19:41] 21k pages grabbed [19:44] i found this: http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012/aug/16 [19:44] this is will make it easy to just grab the old articles [19:45] but i think the commits are redirect to www.washingtopost.com [19:45] and there never all of them [19:46] i will see about doing year like archives [19:48] looks like the archives only go back to 2008 [19:49] ia has been doing focused crawls of the post https://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Awashingtonpost.com&sort=-publicdate [19:49] I would imagine so [19:50] IA seems very on top of all the major news outlets
