00:50 🔗 underscor netspluts
00:56 🔗 Coderjoe i wonder if the idlerpg code is smart enough to recognize a netsplit and not penalize those on the other side
00:58 🔗 underscor afaik yes
01:15 🔗 Ymgve the question is, does the idlerpg bot have spies who make sure you've actually idled when you were on the other side of the netsplit
01:17 🔗 chronomex no
01:18 🔗 chronomex and that could be reasonably considered to be out of scope for idlerpg.
02:50 🔗 lemonkey North Bay serial killer suspect says that when he refers to raping women in his diary he just means "making out": bit.ly/An15cf
02:53 🔗 yipdw it's not until you don't have tab completion in a shell that you realize just how dependent you are on it
02:53 🔗 * yipdw is working on a NetBSD 3.0 system that's running with one hell of a minimal shell

03:01 🔗 Coderjoe they're remaking dark shadows?
03:04 🔗 lemonkey yep
03:04 🔗 lemonkey wtf? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YP9RnDp_tms#!
03:12 🔗 lemonkey woops wrong chan
03:14 🔗 bsmith093 archive-y topic question, is there any easy way to mass dump ms outlook email to a file so i can re import it? ive had to rebuild my family's damn windows box 5 times in 7 years and im always hunting for things for exporting stuff so the same programs can read it in 10 hrs when im done putting their crap back on
03:16 🔗 bsmith093 [referably something i can install to a machine with multiple accounts, and it goes " oh look i found all the email for all these accounts. would you like me to export them to useraccount.whatever?"
03:16 🔗 chronomex you can export as a .pst
03:18 🔗 yipdw wow, I've never seen a tar extract do this before
03:18 🔗 yipdw Fatal kernel mode data abort: 'Alignment Fault 3'
03:18 🔗 yipdw trapframe: 0xc2cf7914
03:19 🔗 yipdw I think it is likely that the hardware I am working on is broken
03:42 🔗 dashcloud I'm hopefully building this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Bargain-Price-Book-Scanner-From-A-Cardboard-Box/?ALLSTEPS over the weekend
05:44 🔗 Paradoks bsmith093: I can't give you a useful answer, but Outlook (Or Outlook Express, or Windows Mail) putting messages in a painful format is _the_ reason I've never seriously considered using it. I'm still using Eudora, but Thunderbird uses plaintext, I think. Which is much harder to mess up.
05:45 🔗 Paradoks Admittedly, this is a bit like saying that you should totally install Linux on all your parents' computers, but, eh. Good luck, regardless.
05:45 🔗 bsmith093 i know, right, i tired getting them to use it *becasue* its just " here, copy this folder" to back ip, instead of hunt through the whole drive looking for a hidden folder that may or may not have a wierdly named pst file
05:46 🔗 bsmith093 i dont actually *use* thunderbird, except to locally search email, but i set it up so id have a local non gmail based backup of the years of email i have saved
05:47 🔗 Paradoks And, of course, if you're going from Outlook Express to Outlook (or probably lots of other combinations), you're supposed to export the files in order to get anything useful. Rather than, oh, using the backup of the hard drive you thoughtfully made.
05:47 🔗 Paradoks Seems like a reasonable backup plan.
05:52 🔗 Coderjoe you can just copy the pst files
05:53 🔗 Coderjoe (as long as outlook isn't running)
06:05 🔗 bsmith093 is there any way of sorting mobilme by size, so the smaller profiles go first
06:06 🔗 bsmith093 i figure most pfrofiles are probably pretty manageable, and the big, masssivle huge one just clog up the process
06:06 🔗 bsmith093 *ones
08:27 🔗 yipdw bsmith093: there is no way to calculate a size in advance
08:27 🔗 yipdw you can guess, based on the length of the URL lists, and probably do some parsing of the JSON feeeds
08:27 🔗 yipdw maybe also run a bunch of HEAD requests to get back Content-Length
08:28 🔗 yipdw but I'm not really sure that's worth the trouble vs. just getting more people on board, to minimize the bottlenecks
08:29 🔗 yipdw also, getting smaller profiles to go out first would require that the tracker use some sort of sorted set implementation to store work items, but as you can see in https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/universal-tracker/blob/master/models/tracker/transactions.rb#L31, it doesn't
08:30 🔗 yipdw none of this is to say it *can't* be done, but making it work requires quite a bit of work on both ends
