04:07 🔗 Wyatt|Wor Man, the more links I click here, the more I feel I need to sit down and study IA's infra. It looks fascinating.
04:11 🔗 chronomex pity they don't talk about it publicly
04:16 🔗 Wyatt|Wor Ahh...so there's no IA primer or anything written about it?
04:16 🔗 chronomex nope
04:16 🔗 Wyatt|Wor Sadness.
04:16 🔗 chronomex there are however in here some people who can fill you in
04:16 🔗 Wyatt|Wor ...Are they hiring sysadmins? ;D
04:17 🔗 chronomex is there a hiring page on the site? I'd check there.
04:18 🔗 Wyatt|Wor Heh, I was (kind of) joking. I do want to stay put for a little longer.
04:26 🔗 underscor There's a jobs page that perpetually says they're hiring
04:26 🔗 underscor but atm, I don't think so
04:26 🔗 chronomex worth asking
04:26 🔗 underscor Wyatt|Wor: There's not a "primer" per se, but if you have questions, both Jason and I can answer them
04:27 🔗 underscor (as long as it's not something secret)
04:27 🔗 underscor ha
04:27 🔗 dnova the secrets
04:27 🔗 dnova tell me them
04:27 🔗 underscor lol
04:29 🔗 chronomex 081-851-101: B Caulking Compound (AT-8832) -- Description
04:29 🔗 chronomex good to know we have instructions for caulking
04:29 🔗 Wyatt|Wor Well, I suppose the first question I have is "What parts are secret?"
04:29 🔗 dnova that information is secret
04:29 🔗 underscor root passwords
04:29 🔗 underscor bahahah
04:30 🔗 underscor uh, I don't know.
04:30 🔗 underscor Anything *I* know isn't secret
04:30 🔗 underscor so
04:30 🔗 chronomex Wyatt|Wor: reminds me of the time I went to Hoover Dam. "Ask me anything, we have no secrets here." "How many people does it take to run the plant?" "Well, that's a secret."
04:30 🔗 underscor I don't really know what's secret
04:35 🔗 dnova that's what you want us to think
04:51 🔗 dcmorton is SktechCow in? I've got some MobileMe data i was wanting to upload and i don't have an rsync slot
05:16 🔗 underscor dcmorton: /query him too
05:16 🔗 underscor He's (possibly?) packing for a trip or something
05:24 🔗 dcmorton thanks underscor.. doing now
06:26 🔗 chronomex SketchCow: Merry Christmas! http://www.archive.org/stream/bellsystem_BSP_000-000-002#page/n0/mode/2up
06:31 🔗 chronomex something, either in the book or in my scanner, is crooked
08:11 🔗 Coderjoe huh
08:11 🔗 Coderjoe the reader didn't open for me
08:12 🔗 * chronomex commits tabicide
08:12 🔗 chronomex it's still deriving, it seems to be up and down in that respect
08:15 🔗 chronomex derive *just* finished, it should stream nicely now
08:16 🔗 chronomex hrm. why is it dark.
08:17 🔗 chronomex maybe it's because the collection is dark?
08:18 🔗 chronomex underscor: give me a hand sometime?
08:18 🔗 chronomex it's not dark, just restricted...
08:18 🔗 Coderjoe the ia reader gets really unhappy
08:19 🔗 chronomex the ia reader is understandably unhappy, it can't get any of its images
08:19 🔗 Coderjoe hung ff until it said the script was taking a long time and asked if i wanted to stop it
08:20 🔗 Coderjoe i can see the item details page and links to the formats
08:20 🔗 chronomex yeah
08:21 🔗 Coderjoe and i can see the directory of files on ia600805
08:22 🔗 chronomex correct, that's the state that all my items are currently in.
08:22 🔗 chronomex I don't know whether that's inherent to the collection or to the items themselves
08:27 🔗 Wyatt|Wor Oh, looks like the last 32GB of my Splinder finished rsyncing. I _believe_ that is everything, then.
08:49 🔗 Wyatt|Wor And what, we have a month left to make sure it's all there?
08:49 🔗 Wyatt|Wor Sweetness, to be sure.
09:45 🔗 Nemo_bis Yes, a month. And it's not so much.
09:45 🔗 Wyatt|Wor Better than what we've had in the past.
09:45 🔗 Nemo_bis If Sketch.Cow has to check everything and download all missing users (tens of thousands, probably), considering that the biggest ones can take weeks...
09:46 🔗 Nemo_bis Perhaps someone should start downloading the biggest users we know that failed. I don't remember who took care of mine.
09:46 🔗 Wyatt|Wor We can, to some extent, throw a bunch of those back in the tracker, no?
09:52 🔗 Nemo_bis Yes, I think we should.
09:56 🔗 Nemo_bis chronomex, if I try to download the DjVu, I can only a 3.9 KB file
09:57 🔗 chronomex Nemo_bis: yeah. it seems to have made the thing private.
09:57 🔗 Nemo_bis chronomex, is this the effect of Rights-tag: proprietary
09:57 🔗 chronomex no, that is my thing completely
09:58 🔗 Nemo_bis where is this metadata documented btw?
09:58 🔗 Nemo_bis ah
09:58 🔗 chronomex most of this metadata is mine own
09:59 🔗 Nemo_bis "The item is not available due to issues with the item's content."
16:47 🔗 underscor chronomex: The collection is access-restricted, so by default, items created within it are "dark"
16:47 🔗 underscor I assume you want this specific one lightened?
18:09 🔗 Coderjoe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJIuYgIvKsc
18:51 🔗 _spike_ hello archive team
18:51 🔗 _spike_ just read an article about you
18:51 🔗 underscor MIT Tech Review?
18:52 🔗 _spike_ yup, emailed to me by a friend who knew my interest in the ghosts of the internets
18:53 🔗 underscor Awesome, welcome!
18:53 🔗 _spike_ i'm joining you via a server i've had an account on since 1993 or so...always wondered when it would just up and disappear.
18:54 🔗 underscor hehe
18:57 🔗 _spike_ actually, the administrator lost all data on the server back in '95 or so. it was my first hard lesson in not trusting my irreplaceable data to someone else.
18:58 🔗 _spike_ anyway -- it's a cool thing you're doing. hope you get and keep the proper support.
18:59 🔗 underscor thanks
19:00 🔗 _spike_ i have a TI 99/4a that is getting packaged and shipped to a young collector of old computers today. i've been hauling it around for years and find that i would rather it be admired than stuck in a storage unit.
19:00 🔗 _spike_ where it's certainly doing me no good :-)
19:01 🔗 _spike_ i also want to check out this bbs documentary mentioned in the article. i grew up on BBSs. still stay in touch with all my favorite sysops from back in those days :-)
19:01 🔗 _spike_ does anyone know where i can find it?
19:02 🔗 Coderjoe http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/
19:02 🔗 _spike_ i was pretty much the only girl on the texas BBS scene in the mid '90s. it was interesting.
19:02 🔗 _spike_ awesome, thanks joe.
19:07 🔗 ersi neat
19:09 🔗 _spike_ thanks for the info. good luck, guys!
19:09 🔗 underscor A girl? in #archiveteam?
19:09 🔗 ersi unpossible
19:09 🔗 underscor THE END IS NIGH
19:09 🔗 ersi everyone knows there's no women on the intertubes
19:12 🔗 underscor lololol
19:12 🔗 underscor OFFTOPIC SIREN
19:12 🔗 underscor :D
19:15 🔗 * Coderjoe gets the shotgun out and chases down that siren
19:25 🔗 chronomex woop woop woop off-topic siren
21:16 🔗 SketchCow Back
21:21 🔗 SketchCow Please don't greet women with gape-mouthed incredulity.
21:22 🔗 vertevero ?
21:42 🔗 chronomex ^
22:04 🔗 underscor SketchCow: I waited til she left!
22:14 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, good thinking
22:14 🔗 SketchCow What about other girls in the channel
22:14 🔗 SketchCow What about her reading the logs
22:14 🔗 SketchCow It's just not the way to go.
22:15 🔗 chronomex yeah, underscor, grow the fuck up
22:17 🔗 underscor sorry guys.
22:18 🔗 chronomex so, SketchCow, I don't know how to make the item publicly viewable. I undarked it but it's still not public apparently.
22:18 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, something's not well with that cow.
22:19 🔗 underscor Can you have access-restricted true and have undark items?
22:19 🔗 chronomex I think it's the collection that's forcing things to be dark.
22:19 🔗 underscor I don't think you can
22:19 🔗 chronomex alas
22:19 🔗 underscor You have to have the collection not access-restricted, and then dark or noindex the items you want public
22:19 🔗 underscor don't want public*
22:20 🔗 chronomex noindex items are downloadable but not search-engined, correct?
22:20 🔗 underscor yes
22:20 🔗 underscor so you need a direct link to them
22:20 🔗 chronomex I think that's the way to go. I'll discuss that with the guys in charge.
22:21 🔗 underscor Cool :)
22:56 🔗 PatC Anyone know how long it takes to transfer a domain?
22:57 🔗 soultcer Not really related to archiveteam, but less than a week
22:57 🔗 PatC ok, sorry for the randomness :p
23:01 🔗 chronomex PatC: one to ten days, usually 5
23:02 🔗 PatC chronomex, sounds good
23:04 🔗 SketchCow I trying to slam through the remaining pieces of arcade manuals.
23:47 🔗 SketchCow This guy gave me 150 descriptions.
23:47 🔗 SketchCow man.
23:51 🔗 Jofo Anyone here self-teach themselves python recently to the point of being productive with it? I started learning recently, just not a lot of good, concise resources out there
23:52 🔗 Jofo figure there's a few self-taught python people in here :)
23:56 🔗 underscor Jofo: LPTHW was my main tool
23:57 🔗 Jofo can't say I've come across this yet
23:57 🔗 Jofo ty, I'll take a look at it
23:57 🔗 Jofo I did 2 problems on euler project and got to the third and was quickly over my head haha
23:58 🔗 underscor http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/
23:59 🔗 Jofo yeah, googled it already! looks pretty damn close to what I want
23:59 🔗 Jofo that is, python programming without a ton of the compsci background. compsci is good, but I'm not really looking to program intricate things
