00:18 🔗 SketchCow OK, time to shove a BUNCH of stuff into archive.org
00:26 🔗 oli :o
00:32 🔗 SketchCow While trying to finally watch a few things
00:32 🔗 SketchCow I'm trying Speed Racer
00:32 🔗 SketchCow Kind of tough
00:32 🔗 SketchCow Probably giving up for now
00:33 🔗 SketchCow Oh yeah, wiki
00:33 🔗 closure bam, 20k
00:33 🔗 SketchCow Let me go set that up
00:33 🔗 closure (not looking forward to order fulfillment either!0
00:34 🔗 SketchCow All right, that's another thing to have me stop thinking about
01:05 🔗 SketchCow Here we go, CD-ROMs jamming up by the handfuls
01:15 🔗 SketchCow God, some of these are stored so bad
01:49 🔗 BlueMax SketchCow, don't stress yourself out too bad man
04:08 🔗 SketchCow Hilarious is uploading gigs of cd-roms and not making a dent
04:13 🔗 joepie91 man
04:13 🔗 joepie91 spitting through backups from years ago, extreme nostalgia
04:30 🔗 SketchCow http://archive.org/details/cdrom-secret-service-48a
04:30 🔗 SketchCow Uploading tons of these.
04:31 🔗 DFJustin I've still got some more sega saturn demo discs to go through
04:32 🔗 chronomex SketchCow: google thinks "secret service magazine" was a 1913 publication
04:32 🔗 chronomex which iirc is before cds came out
04:32 🔗 chronomex I mean, um, unless you have other info
04:32 🔗 chronomex http://www.famhist.us/2011/07/28/secret-service-magazine-15-may-1903/
04:33 🔗 SketchCow It's the name of it, it's a polish computer magazine or something.
04:33 🔗 chronomex ah
04:33 🔗 SketchCow Even comes with pretty scanned discs!
04:33 🔗 chronomex whee
04:43 🔗 SketchCow Sadly, I have to do these somewhat manually.
04:43 🔗 SketchCow But they're coming out nice, and it's relaxing.
04:43 🔗 SketchCow I'm heading down to DC on Sunday, if anyone's there
04:45 🔗 x_eNYCe_x anyone know where I can get old wrestling archives?
04:46 🔗 x_eNYCe_x anyone know where I can get old wrestling archives?
04:47 🔗 SketchCow http://pwa.wrestlingx.net/
04:49 🔗 x_eNYCe_x i need a couple specific episodes off wwf superstars 1992
04:51 🔗 SketchCow We're not going to be much help here, I'm sorry.
04:51 🔗 SketchCow I'd hit up wrestling forums to see if there's ways to get access.
04:56 🔗 SketchCow Forgive my off-topic, but happy archivers are good archivers. The Humble Bundle is a really good bargain that has unlocked several major games for a good price. http://t.co/GDCbwIvc
05:15 🔗 kennethre +1000
05:15 🔗 kennethre LIMBO and Super Meat Boy are easily worth $100 :)
05:21 🔗 shaqfu It's worth it for the soundtracks, as is the Game Music Bundle
05:21 🔗 shaqfu Hooray for lossless
05:40 🔗 SketchCow 7. The defenses of insanity, public authority and alibi have not been raised
05:40 🔗 SketchCow in this case.
05:43 🔗 shaqfu Hm?
05:48 🔗 BlueMaxim Does anyone think that a small video series based around digging through Geocities for "archival-worthy" stories is a good idea?
05:49 🔗 shaqfu Sort of a highlight reel of Geocities? Absolutely
05:50 🔗 undersco2 that would be very cool
05:50 🔗 BlueMaxim shaqfu I was thinking more along the lines of someone "browsing" at random through the Geocities archive
05:50 🔗 BlueMaxim Attempting to find "good stories"
05:50 🔗 BlueMaxim I'm not sure how to describe it
05:51 🔗 shaqfu BlueMaxim: Like, StumbleUpon for Geocities, and filming your adventures?
05:51 🔗 BlueMaxim shaqfu: something like that, yes, except without the "random" element, just picking out random subdirs and seeing what I find
05:52 🔗 BlueMaxim Something like a video diary
05:52 🔗 shaqfu Gotcha. I think focusing more on interesting things, vs. filming random stuff, would be better
05:53 🔗 shaqfu Although, if you feel you can make a random walk interesting via supplying context, go for it
05:53 🔗 BlueMaxim I can agree with that, but finding a random heartwarming story out of nowhere would be a bit more heartwarming
05:53 🔗 yipdw find interesting things in Geocities and try to hunt down the original authors
05:53 🔗 shaqfu I'm just afraid that you'll end up with a lot of footage of chaff
05:53 🔗 BlueMaxim shaqfu creative editing would solve that
05:54 🔗 yipdw a Where Are They Now or links-to-the-past sort of deal
05:54 🔗 BlueMaxim yipdw if that was even possible that would be awesome :P
05:54 🔗 yipdw or the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are
05:54 🔗 shaqfu Why wouldn't it be possible?
05:54 🔗 yipdw produce a pilot, get a Kickstarter project for more
05:54 🔗 yipdw money that is
05:54 🔗 shaqfu Find an interesting page, see what you can dig up, contact anyone involved
05:55 🔗 BlueMaxim Well here's the thing, I'm in Australia, it would be expensive just to CALL someone over there
05:55 🔗 yipdw email works as a start
05:55 🔗 shaqfu Email, Internet calling, etc
05:55 🔗 BlueMaxim Hmm, good point
05:55 🔗 yipdw skype is pretty cheap
05:56 🔗 shaqfu Focus on .au folk and do it cheaply ;)
05:56 🔗 yipdw I mean, if the only way they'll talk is over phone (and who does that, I don't know) then you can establish a reason to do so beforehand
05:56 🔗 BlueMaxim Fair enough
05:56 🔗 shaqfu You'd have to find their number to start, which would involve lots of searching
05:57 🔗 yipdw I think that sort of cyberspace-to-meatspace (forgive the terms) work puts all this archival stuff into a more comprehensible, concrete context
05:57 🔗 yipdw also it is very cool
05:58 🔗 yipdw also SketchCow does it a lot
05:58 🔗 BlueMaxim As evidenced by the Defcon 19 video
05:58 🔗 yipdw yes
05:58 🔗 yipdw and others
05:58 🔗 BlueMaxim That "construction worker gif" story is something I'd aim to recreate but with other stories
05:58 🔗 BlueMaxim If you know what I'm getting at
05:58 🔗 yipdw yeah
05:58 🔗 yipdw no, I think it's a good idea
05:58 🔗 shaqfu It's absolutely worth pursuing
05:59 🔗 yipdw there's still a lot of people who don't get it
05:59 🔗 shaqfu Bringing out the human side, so to speak, is always worthwhile
05:59 🔗 yipdw hell, I admittedly still have trouble explaining why we downloaded 465 GB of fanfiction
05:59 🔗 Coderjoe "Geocities? who cares? good riddance!"
06:00 🔗 BlueMaxim Imagine if I made a movie out of this, a full length movie about hunting down random people and telling their stories through the medium of archived Data
06:00 🔗 shaqfu yipdw: fanfiction.net?
06:00 🔗 yipdw should probably download the forum data someday
06:00 🔗 BlueMaxim ARCHIVETEAM 2013
06:00 🔗 yipdw shaqfu: yeah
06:00 🔗 yipdw we got that
06:00 🔗 yipdw well, a snapshot
06:00 🔗 BlueMaxim Wow, is fanfiction.net really 600GB?
06:00 🔗 yipdw I'm sure there's more now
06:00 🔗 BlueMaxim ...500GB
06:00 🔗 yipdw BlueMaxim: well, there's a lot of HTML and avatar images in it
06:00 🔗 yipdw but yes
06:00 🔗 shaqfu yipdw: I think it depends on interests. Whenever I mention FilePlanet to gamer friends they tend to get excited
06:00 🔗 BlueMaxim Oh, so if one was to cut the fat it would probably be a lot smaller
06:00 🔗 yipdw it's pretty massive
06:00 🔗 yipdw well
06:00 🔗 yipdw it's not fat
06:01 🔗 BlueMaxim Well I was comparing it to fat on a piece of meat
06:01 🔗 BlueMaxim Probably a bad example
06:01 🔗 yipdw you can load any of the fanfiction WARCs into e.g. wayback and see it as it appeared when it was fetched
06:01 🔗 yipdw and you need all of it for that to occur
06:01 🔗 Coderjoe "SHIT SHIT SHIT! I didn't want anyone to know I wrote furry self-insertion star trek star wars incest bondage fanfiction! DELETE IT!"
06:01 🔗 BlueMaxim lololol
06:01 🔗 Coderjoe forgot slash
06:02 🔗 yipdw shaqfu: probably, but I'm still having trouble explaining fanfiction.net
06:02 🔗 yipdw I mean, fanfiction *authors* do not want it archived
06:02 🔗 yipdw (partially due to what Coderjoe said)
06:02 🔗 shaqfu Because of reasons Coderjoe outlined? :P
06:02 🔗 shaqfu Hah
06:02 🔗 yipdw people involved in the study of fanworks *do* want it archived but
06:02 🔗 yipdw yeah
06:03 🔗 undersco2 Coderjoe: hot
06:03 🔗 yipdw anyway, yeah
06:03 🔗 yipdw a video series like that would be pretty cool
06:04 🔗 BlueMaxim If I do go ahead with it I would require a lot of help from all of you
06:05 🔗 BlueMaxim I mean, the most advanced video I've ever edited is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD2TyIHTiLU
06:05 🔗 shaqfu 'course; can't go wrong with good AT press :)
06:06 🔗 shaqfu It'd be worth talking with SketchCow about finding people, getting interviews, making a good story, etc
06:06 🔗 BlueMaxim I agree
06:06 🔗 SketchCow Is that your voice?
06:07 🔗 SketchCow I see no, it's someone else.
06:07 🔗 BlueMaxim No, it's not.
06:07 🔗 BlueMaxim Sorry to disappoint.
06:07 🔗 BlueMaxim http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGq4kVcVz9U < this is my voice.
06:09 🔗 BlueMaxim I understand that my voice may not be the best for the video.
06:11 🔗 shaqfu It may be worthwhile to do it text/images, so you can focus more on getting stuff together and less on editing
06:12 🔗 BlueMax I'm not 100% sure how much I like not having audio commentary
06:13 🔗 BlueMax Having a human voice in the background sort of gives a person to relate to
06:14 🔗 shaqfu Blech; can't tarview the Geocities .7zs, and don't have space to grab it
06:17 🔗 shaqfu http://www.reocities.com/TimesSquare/2738/
06:17 🔗 shaqfu That might make a good story
06:19 🔗 shaqfu Still married as of 9/2011 - good for them
06:19 🔗 BlueMax That is perfect
06:21 🔗 shaqfu Looks like they had a UO wedding, too
06:22 🔗 SketchCow burp
06:22 🔗 BlueMax SketchCow, do you think it's a good idea?
06:56 🔗 chronomex invest in a tripod, you should be fine
06:56 🔗 chronomex or, get a friend
07:01 🔗 SketchCow http://www.indiana.edu/~video/stream/launchflash.html?format=MP4&folder=vic&filename=C4L2011_session_3b_20110209.mp4
07:01 🔗 SketchCow On topic, archiving stuff.
07:01 🔗 SketchCow Apparently at 66:00, Mark M. talks about archiving bits
07:02 🔗 SketchCow Warning: Shitty player
07:02 🔗 SketchCow Also: Bought a clicker
07:02 🔗 SketchCow OH MY GOD BEST THING EVER
07:02 🔗 SketchCow It's going to push my presentations into the stratosphere
07:03 🔗 chronomex k-rad
07:03 🔗 SketchCow http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/presenter/professional-presenter-r800
07:03 🔗 SketchCow I love this thing
07:03 🔗 SketchCow The ironic point is I didn't want the laser
07:04 🔗 SketchCow But from up to 100 feet away, I can make slides change
07:04 🔗 SketchCow This means I can walk through the entire stage and destroy lives
07:04 🔗 SketchCow Anyway, seriously, people, look at 65:00 onward
07:14 🔗 DFJustin dem sideburns
07:16 🔗 primus_ does anyone have any idea what i might be doing wrong as archiveteam-warrior virtual machine doesn't obey speed limits set in startup menu (i've set 400KB/s and it's sitting at 900 KB/s atm)
07:17 🔗 undersco2 primus_: that only applies to upload iirc
07:17 🔗 undersco2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826139017 I have one of these, it's like a wiimote for your pc
07:17 🔗 undersco2 I love it
07:17 🔗 primus_ ah, ok, thank you for the answer
07:18 🔗 undersco2 (actually I have one series older)
07:18 🔗 undersco2 http://images.highspeedbackbone.net/skuimages/large/Gyration-GyrotransportPro-G.jpg

16:34 🔗 GLaDOS Huh, same spambot just hit a couple of channels over at esper as well
16:34 🔗 Aranje At least they had the good sense to name the bot well
17:28 🔗 SketchCow Anything else needing my attention before I head to NYC?
17:36 🔗 DrainLbry great news, your VB6 apps will still work on Windows 8 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/ms788708.aspx
17:40 🔗 ersi_ Yeah, thanks for the relevant information.
18:23 🔗 chronomex DrainLbry: OH THANK GOD
19:25 🔗 DFJustin you laugh but we're still shipping vb6 apps :(
23:31 🔗 arkhive http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/09/psa-some-meebo-services-shutting-down-starting-next-week/
23:35 🔗 chronomex add meebo to the walking dead
23:37 🔗 mistym Google makes me sigh with all the buying web services to shutter them.
23:38 🔗 arkhive ya really
23:39 🔗 arkhive The Meebo Bar was kind of annoying... But The Meebo Messenger was neat.
23:39 🔗 chronomex brought all kinds of weirdos into irc, too
23:40 🔗 arkhive How do you mean?
23:40 🔗 chronomex meebo made it easy to do an irc driveby
23:40 🔗 arkhive oh
23:40 🔗 chronomex we should start a targeted campaign for google to talent-hire all the browser toolbar people
23:41 🔗 ersi haha, I see what you did there
23:42 🔗 Aranje Yeah!... then google toolbar would be awesome (that's the ticket!)
23:43 🔗 chronomex er, no, I meant website bars, like wibiya
23:44 🔗 Aranje oh good fucking lord, that shit
23:49 🔗 ersi I thought you meant browser toolbars, and that they'd buy all of them up, so they'd disappear
23:49 🔗 chronomex well, you have the second half right
23:50 🔗 Aranje I want that too
23:51 🔗 arkhive was the Google Wave waves and such backed up
23:51 🔗 arkhive were*
23:51 🔗 ersi Alright, back on topic: Is there anything to grab @ meebo?
23:51 🔗 ersi I've never heard of meebo before
