06:15 🔗 godane SketchCow: you may want to mirror this: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/
06:15 🔗 godane there is lots of stuff there
08:32 🔗 underscor Quiet channel lately
08:59 🔗 SketchCow What!
08:59 🔗 SketchCow It was rocking all weekend, buddy.
18:58 🔗 chronomex we had a party while your parents were out
18:59 🔗 SketchCow balrog says not to open the laundry basket, just dump the whole thing in the washing machine
19:00 🔗 underscor Hahahahaha
19:00 🔗 underscor Jason never fails to brighten my day
19:41 🔗 kennethre need any help with webshots?
19:41 🔗 kennethre i really need to make just a generic heroku-warrior
19:41 🔗 SketchCow I want you to learn Javascript. Is that so hard?
19:41 🔗 kennethre SketchCow: JS goes against everything I believe in :)
19:41 🔗 kennethre emulation has always been a big part of my life though, so i would consider
19:42 🔗 kennethre i fully appreciate the importance of the project
19:47 🔗 nintendud kennethre: while that may be true (for both of us), it's here to stay :|
19:47 🔗 * kennethre is sadly playing the new pokemon game right now
19:48 🔗 * nintendud almost purchased that, but wouldn't have time to play
19:48 🔗 kennethre same, but i fly a lot
19:48 🔗 kennethre so i'll play it on planes
19:48 🔗 nintendud Nice. Maybe I'll purchase it before I fly in a few weeks.
19:50 🔗 kennethre i haven't really played since the red and blue remakes
19:50 🔗 nintendud ahhh. I have HeartGold. Still haven't beaten vit.
19:50 🔗 kennethre it's surprisingly good so far
19:50 🔗 nintendud it*
19:50 🔗 kennethre they polished the whole experience quite a bit
19:50 🔗 kennethre very streamlined
19:51 🔗 nintendud Yeah, I bet.
19:51 🔗 nintendud How many games do you need to collect 'em all, I wonder?
19:51 🔗 kennethre dozens and dozens
20:11 🔗 joepie91 kennethre: I missed most of the conversation due to my connection sucking balls, what was it about? it seems interesting
20:14 🔗 SmileyG lol pokemon
20:15 🔗 SmileyG i don't get it really, all the games seem to be the same thing over again?
20:15 🔗 joepie91 well - looks like I'm not going to get any work done tonight...
20:15 🔗 joepie91 screw this ISP
20:16 🔗 joepie91 SmileyG: I missed bits and pieces so I may have an incorrect idea of the conversation, but I saw something about purchasing something, and something about javascript - how's that related to pokemon? ._.
20:16 🔗 DFJustin well there's always a new generation of 10-year-olds
20:16 🔗 SmileyG DFJustin: then it makes sense
20:17 🔗 SmileyG but i mean the people who continue to buy it...
20:17 🔗 SmileyG joepie91: :(
20:35 🔗 SketchCow Ha ha, once again we're going to flood FOS
20:35 🔗 SketchCow This time with Webshots.
20:35 🔗 SketchCow The data is FLYING in.
20:35 🔗 SmileyG :D
20:36 🔗 SmileyG nooooooooo i dropped another place :(
20:41 🔗 nintendud at this rate, I'm going to drop off the leaderboard
20:41 🔗 nintendud excellent
20:51 🔗 bsmith095 if anyone's running this on ec2, a micro instance is fine, hook a fairly large ebs storage to that 50 -100gb, and watch the outgoing bandwidth. also, charging for disk I/O is STUPID, they charge for usage hours, and storage, and bandwidth, already why charge for io?
20:53 🔗 alard To give you an incentive to optimise your io?
20:55 🔗 nintendud I've never used EC2 before. I notice for micro instances, they charge hourly. Does that include all bandwidth, or is there a surcharge for going over some amount?
20:55 🔗 godane i have check in up to episode 120 of no bs podcast
20:56 🔗 bsmith095 free tier rocks, "aws free"
20:56 🔗 nintendud 15GB is nothing though
20:58 🔗 nintendud oh, I see
20:58 🔗 nintendud they have the data transfer prices lower
20:58 🔗 nintendud on the page
20:59 🔗 oli better off getting a low end vps
20:59 🔗 oli from some offer on lowendbox.com
20:59 🔗 oli tons of providers there where yu can push a lot of data in and out for very low price
20:59 🔗 nintendud yeah, that's expensive. Unless I'm mathing wrong, they charge $120 for 1TB of bandwidth out?
21:00 🔗 nintendud anyway, I was just looking.
21:01 🔗 oli i havent done the sums, but they are expensive :p
22:25 🔗 dashcloud so for sending boxes of manuals and software to scan/host at the Internet Archive, what's the address to use? do I need to address to it to anyone?
22:30 🔗 underscor dashcloud: If it's specifically for SketchCow, I'd defer to him, but the general donation address is
22:31 🔗 underscor June Goldsmith
22:31 🔗 underscor Media Donations
22:31 🔗 underscor Internet Archive
22:31 🔗 underscor 300 Funston Ave
22:31 🔗 underscor San Francisco, CA 94118
22:34 🔗 dashcloud here's the list- http://pastebin.com/pKD29tbF I would think most of them could be hosted there
22:36 🔗 underscor oh yeah, we're definitely interested
22:36 🔗 underscor I would ping SketchCow to see if he has some special thing for manual donations
22:36 🔗 underscor but if not, the above address is cool
23:46 🔗 SketchCow What
23:49 🔗 SketchCow If you send things to the archive it will be months or years before it's scanned.
23:50 🔗 dashcloud okay- I am glad to know that
23:51 🔗 dashcloud so just mail to you and you'll take it from there?
23:52 🔗 SketchCow Well, you're more likely to see it scanned.
23:52 🔗 SketchCow There's some prelim discussion of an Internet Archive scanner coming to my house.
23:52 🔗 dashcloud whoa!
23:52 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, then fuck you clowns, I will blacken the internet's sky with PDFs
23:53 🔗 dashcloud so would you have a quota to fulfill per week or something to keep it near you?
23:53 🔗 SketchCow Yes
23:53 🔗 SketchCow And operation.
23:53 🔗 SketchCow No, I'd need to take it for a summer and put people in my house.
23:54 🔗 dashcloud I'm working on grabbing lots of service manuals from the major laptop companies currently- Dell, HP/Compaq for the moment
