04:14 🔗 chronomex hrm
04:14 🔗 chronomex I just fired up the disk array I did geocities archiving on
04:14 🔗 chronomex there's a whole bunch of geocities directories in lost+found
04:14 🔗 chronomex :|
04:15 🔗 balrog recover it
04:15 🔗 chronomex yes, but where
04:15 🔗 chronomex I'll put a tarball of it up when I've finished copying it over to the new array
04:15 🔗 chronomex not a small amount of stuff, about 11k directories
04:17 🔗 chronomex as with all fsck-recovered data, this comes with no guarantees
04:19 🔗 godane found palm press conferce from ces 2009
04:20 🔗 godane its 421mb
04:20 🔗 godane :-D
05:29 🔗 SketchCow Morning/
05:29 🔗 SketchCow I have this bluetooth keyboard that is really suboptimal.
05:30 🔗 SketchCow I think I'll rebuy the Apple one I had.
05:30 🔗 SketchCow godane: Please e-mail jscott@archive.org with the groups you need direct upload access to.
05:30 🔗 SketchCow Just a small list, and I'll add them.
05:35 🔗 SketchCow But in the meantime, you can upload to g4video and g4video-web as the collections.
05:36 🔗 SketchCow And this goes to any of you maniacs, if you find you're going to upload a metric assload of content, we can see about making it so that you can upload directly into a collection set for you.
05:37 🔗 godane thanks
05:43 🔗 SketchCow No probably, sorry for delay. But you can proceed happily.
05:44 🔗 godane thanks
05:44 🔗 godane its going to take a very long time to upload this
05:44 🔗 SketchCow That's fine. It's great artifacts.
05:44 🔗 godane also i found press conf of ces 2009
05:45 🔗 SketchCow Saw you mentioned.
05:45 🔗 godane trying to get bigger videos first in case the site goes down
05:45 🔗 SketchCow If stuff is one-off, feel free to upload to opensource movies, I can deal and work with it.
05:45 🔗 SketchCow But if you're uploading hundreds of videos to a future collection, we should probably set it up for you.
06:58 🔗 S[h]O[r]T stickam is shutting down http://www.stickam.com/
08:52 🔗 godane why do we have 3 versions of mac addict #124 coverdisk?
08:54 🔗 godane tywebb13@tpg.com.au
08:55 🔗 godane thats the email address to the guy that uploaded 2 versions of it
08:56 🔗 godane plus side is its 2 different checksums
08:58 🔗 DFJustin one of them is actually 125 I think?
08:59 🔗 godane ok
08:59 🔗 godane i was not sure if he uploaded it with the wrong name then reuploaded with the right name
08:59 🔗 DFJustin I think turnkit provided the macaddict stuff and he's lurking in here so maybe he'll see and weigh in later
09:02 🔗 godane is fileplanet darked?
09:02 🔗 godane i don't see why
09:16 🔗 DFJustin there's a couple redundant collections, https://archive.org/details/archiveteam-fileplanet works
09:18 🔗 godane then what is in fileplanet?
09:25 🔗 DFJustin probably nothing
10:47 🔗 schbiridi godane: no idea what https://archive.org/details/fileplanet is but the second one DFJustin mentioned is https://archive.org/details/fireplanet
10:49 🔗 schbiridi i hope for the collection to end up at https://archive.org/details/fileplanet actually since that is intuitive and logical to me
10:55 🔗 godane http://archive.org/details/TechTV-Jake-2.0-Special
11:26 🔗 godane Check out the youngest professional gamer kick Kevin "Immy" Pereira's ass at Halo 2: https://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video10001
11:26 🔗 godane that looks interesting
17:48 🔗 turnkit godane, there are three versions of MacAddict cover disc #124 only because I provided the one's I had in a batch, and it was already up twice. I need to provide metadata still and cover scans. My original intent was to have all that info go up together but it's going to take me some more time to find the missing issues and scan so it was decided to upload what was there right away.
17:50 🔗 turnkit I can't edit the metadata so I have to pass it off when I get it all together. Note that one of the earlier #124's was likely ripped w/ toast and may include different headers.
18:02 🔗 turnkit What happens if one of us who lives near downtown LA calls and asks Stickcam if they can just come up and copy data directly off their network. Might they do it? (Excluding flights for chronomex which are not allowed) Stickam Worldwide, Inc. 444 S. Flower St, 30th Floor, Los Angeles, CA. 90071
18:05 🔗 ersi It's usually a waste of time to ask for permission or for someone else to do something
18:05 🔗 ersi Or they'll be more prepared to battle or shut down any action
18:06 🔗 turnkit maybe then as a last resort
18:07 🔗 turnkit makes sense though. their ship is sinking -- they don't want in thrown in the face while being distracted.
18:07 🔗 turnkit maybe
18:07 🔗 ersi That's just my fifty cents though
18:48 🔗 turnkit I only think that way b/c I used to live near LA and I would have little problem cold calling and asking if I could do it... even if I lack the technical skill. But I don't live there now. If something shuts down in Tyler, TX (yes, that copyright patent troll place) ask me and I'll persist at knocking at the co-lo door.
19:15 🔗 db48x S[h]O[r]T: http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Stickam
19:18 🔗 db48x I think asking them is the best next step
19:18 🔗 db48x it is the last resort, but it's really all we have left
19:19 🔗 db48x unless you want to hack in and get the username/password list and mirror the site that way
20:17 🔗 DFJustin turnkit: if tywebb13@ is you then you can edit the two you personally uploaded using the edit item link
21:57 🔗 turnkit DFJustin: uploaded the large set I had to Sketch and he uploaded it from there. (Tywebb must be the fellow who uploaded the other two versions, but not the one's I ripped.)
21:59 🔗 turnkit re: Stickam -- is anyone on here even in LA? This is a big presumption on my part: their offices are in LA but do they host from LA? Should I try to track someone down and call? I'm very very new to doing anything with Archive Team. I have no problem cold-calling and being "nice" trying to pry the bits from their hands but should I really be doing it? I won't be able to answer many questions bu
21:59 🔗 turnkit but I can try.
21:59 🔗 turnkit try.
21:59 🔗 turnkit http://mrwavetheory.blogspot.com/2006/11/myspace-blocking-myspace-founders-new.html
21:59 🔗 turnkit http://www.crunchbase.com/company/liveuniverse
22:00 🔗 turnkit http://www.crunchbase.com/company/stickam
22:01 🔗 SmileyG people still use myspac
22:01 🔗 SmileyG ?
22:02 🔗 turnkit Justin Timberlake does. This is a longshot. Should this discussion >> -bs?
22:05 🔗 turnkit Stickam's original owner sounds nutty - http://techcrunch.com/2009/03/01/meevee-a-ghost-town-all-employees-inactive-ceo-greenspan-still-nuts/ - trying to figure out when it passed to current, new, now dead, folks.
22:07 🔗 godane you guys are going to be getting the piratebay archive
22:07 🔗 turnkit Currently the home page does load "a random" video...
22:09 🔗 turnkit and there is an active (?) "contact us" form... http://www.stickam.com/contact.do
22:09 🔗 turnkit at least accessible
22:10 🔗 godane also we can do are own piratebay backup: https://github.com/andronikov/tpb2csv
22:28 🔗 turnkit Didn't someone post that https://www.stickam.com/... was still pulling up specific content?
22:30 🔗 turnkit "Random" videos with user name ID's can be brought up by just refreshing the home page... some very small sample of content could be archived still that way, no?
22:31 🔗 turnkit http://player.stickam.com/flash/stickam/StickamMemorialPlayer.swf
22:44 🔗 turnkit If someone has an account already on stickam please login and then try https://player.stickam.com/flash/stickam/stickam_player.swf?userSiteID=1015547 as an example -- I can't sign up... but a lot of the site still is accessible via https (as someone else discovered)
22:48 🔗 turnkit re: stickam - we could get an index of many user and then can still grab their home pages -- e.g. list of users from Google cache: e.g. just google site:stickam.com -- most links -- those without any extensions are user home pages... then via https:// their profiles, including pics,etc. still can be grabbed...
22:48 🔗 turnkit e.g. https://www.stickam.com/viewMedia.do?mId=193206901
22:52 🔗 turnkit yeah -- lots of profile pics still up but can't manually pull up vids... that's sort of the point isn't it... to store the video? http://static.stickam.com/media/image/converted/original/1824/6350/8/5f42200f-aff6-11e1-a078-3b458234fbfa.jpg
