[00:13] Remember: You cannot trust them. [05:29] Aw man, Brewster's tearing up on stage [05:30] This is being recorded, yes? [05:37] I sure hope so. [05:38] I assume so [05:50] 2 things, whats being recorded and where ?, and , I hate to beat a dead horse, but is anyone still working on ffnet grab, warrior -izing that would be helpful [05:57] Virgil! [06:09] Ted Nelson! [08:31] alard: sorry, I was afk. My research is in network science. I wish to crawl an online social network to extract the social graph and measure its topological features (degree distribution, etc.) [09:09] xk_id: Ah, interesting. [09:14] thanks [09:26] xk_id: could also do it for pseudo-social networs like Wikipedia's userbase? :) [09:27] *networks [09:31] yes. [09:31] How are the wikipedia users linked? [09:54] your not going to believe this [09:56] someone uploaded 'TechTV Music Wars' to MySpleen [10:15] i also found a mcdonalds vhs training tape from 1972 [10:18] xk_id: I think the most likely way to link them is checking their respective user talk edits [10:21] xk_id: for instance, https://toolserver.org/~tparis/pcount/index.php?name=Nemo+bis&lang=meta&wiki=wikimedia will immediately disclose that I like users Sj and Pathoschild (see "user talk" top edits) :) [10:22] You could also check userpages cross-links but those are more rare. Anyway, all this is available in dumps for Wikimedia wikis. (And perhaps also Wikia soon? :/ ) [11:11] Did we ever finish backing up the halflife collection from planetphillip.com ? [11:12] I think schbiridi was working on it last July [11:12] the site owner took it offline, then put it back up [11:42] Nemo_bis: aha, yes. I was thinking it might be something like that. indeed, it's a good way to infer connections between users [11:44] Nemo_bis: by the way, there's a "conversation" in network science going on atm, which focuses on contrasting the friendship graphs as given by the friends lists, and the interaction graphs of the actual interactions between users [11:44] Nemo_bis: some studies showed they tend to differ a great deal :) [11:44] s/and the interaction/with the interaction [11:45] but yeah, that's just tangential [11:48] omf__: nope, i ran into trouble and stopped. can't remember [15:02] how much did you get? [15:03] I am looking at doing a backup [15:03] now that steam is in full swing on linux there is a ton of content I need to find again for older games [15:35] omf__: i do not remember and i did not keep the files, sorry. [15:36] i'd estimate ~50GB but that is a guess really. maybe 100 or more [15:48] schbiridi: what is 50gb? [15:53] planetphillip maybe [16:22] Did you premap the site or just download files as you went? [16:44] cant remember but i remember that you better premap [17:03] "More generally, Google said it best that “running a web crawler generates a fair amount of phone calls.”" [17:09] gives a good impression of the scale of Google crawls: "To download a billion pages in one year, a crawler must sustain a rate of 32 pages/second. However, search engines must also recrawl pages to obtain the most recent version, which amplifies the need for speed." [17:22] this looks alright, but... tickets cost £27.50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNGm3ZL43gs [17:25] I am so sorry [17:25] wrong channel [17:25] :P [17:53] I should have something partial later today. I will need to add warc data though. [18:34] godane1: holy crap, you found it!?! link, please? [19:28] bsmith094: i will link it when i get it uploaded [19:29] ftp is being very slow [19:41] german gaming streaming site http://www.own3d.tv/ is out of money and will be closing shortly [19:42] :( [19:42] http://www.cadred.org/News/Article/191800/
