11:30 🔗 besc So, the official Tribes: Ascend forums will be shut down within 24 hours (http://www.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/home/latest-news/view/hi-rez-studios-blog/2013/08/05/hi-rez-communication-focus). Is this worth archiving?
11:31 🔗 besc There will probably be somebody in a few years who needs information from these forums
11:53 🔗 SmileyG ouch
11:54 🔗 SmileyG besc: yes,
11:55 🔗 besc SmileyG, http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Wget is this all I need?

11:55 🔗 besc Oh, good!
11:56 🔗 SmileyG omf_: Oh good boy :)
11:56 🔗 SmileyG besc: yes it is, however if omf_ is on it, you can lean back and relax

11:59 🔗 omf_ fuck wget
11:59 🔗 SmileyG I have to ask, and share that thing!
11:59 🔗 omf_ From the tests it all looks good
11:59 🔗 omf_ I did a comparison against wgets of the same site
11:59 🔗 omf_ and looked at that shitty arc converter
12:00 🔗 omf_ 2,007,735 users on this forum
12:00 🔗 omf_ and yes SmileyG it is open source
12:00 🔗 SmileyG ok I hadn't seen a link for it :P
12:01 🔗 omf_ It is part of a bundle I working on releasing
12:01 🔗 omf_ have all the tools in one simple to install package
12:02 🔗 omf_ I see more complaints about how to install the software than how to use it
12:04 🔗 omf_ This isn't the 90s anymore, software shouldn't be hard to install
12:05 🔗 omf_ or require above a minimal amount of brain activity.
12:05 🔗 omf_ We all have more important things to do
12:10 🔗 SmileyG yes
12:10 🔗 SmileyG but I want source :D
12:11 🔗 omf_ Patience is a virtue :D
12:11 🔗 SmileyG beware the dead donkey
12:11 🔗 SmileyG falling from the sky
12:11 🔗 SmileyG when your living happily
12:12 🔗 SmileyG then suddenly you die.
12:12 🔗 besc If you are going to open source it anway, why not do it now? See the Myth of the Genius Programmer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SARbwvhupQ
12:13 🔗 SmileyG it should be on github or whatever.
12:14 🔗 SketchCow Back.
12:15 🔗 SketchCow OK, alive.
12:15 🔗 SketchCow What did I miss?
12:15 🔗 omf_ yahoo killed some shit
12:15 🔗 omf_ rockmelt is going away
12:15 🔗 SmileyG hmmmm some tribes forum going away, we are grabbing.
12:16 🔗 omf_ puush made some serious progress
12:16 🔗 SketchCow NO NOT ROCKMELT
12:16 🔗 SmileyG And still no sign of alard.
12:16 🔗 SketchCow Some days, we're the only ones likely caring about some of these.
12:17 🔗 omf_ How can they just delete this? http://rockmelt.com/?tile=QpawMv9zlL5uoeRXr3lwWKVzPaw&user=lox&coupon=c5whr3b
12:19 🔗 omf_ I think there are one or two other sites going down
12:19 🔗 ersi omf_: shitty arc converter? :o
12:25 🔗 omf_ catch is the other site closing
13:07 🔗 godane SketchCow: hey
13:08 🔗 godane Dr. kiki science hour videos is fully uploaded
13:08 🔗 godane i also got maxwell's house twit videos
13:09 🔗 godane all audio of that show has been uploaded by some else
13:51 🔗 SmileyG http://www.dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres_are_switching_written_numbers_when_scanning?
13:52 🔗 SmileyG When is a 6 not a 6? When it's an 8 of course!
19:05 🔗 SketchCow Hey.
19:05 🔗 SketchCow I read the article, the bug makes sense and isn't sinister, but it's a hilarious bug.
19:05 🔗 omf_ :D
19:18 🔗 omf_ I think we need to do a backup of a site because of management change and possible closing of old content. Jeff Bezos is buying the Washington Post
19:18 🔗 omf_ http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/washington-post-to-be-sold-to-jeff-bezos/2013/08/05/ca537c9e-fe0c-11e2-9711-3708310f6f4d_story.html
19:18 🔗 omf_ that is a really large paper in the US
19:24 🔗 godane i was thinking that too
19:41 🔗 omf_ only up to 1.16 gb on the forums even with 5 pages at a time
19:41 🔗 omf_ their site is slow
19:41 🔗 omf_ 21k pages grabbed
19:44 🔗 godane i found this: http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012/aug/16
19:44 🔗 godane this is will make it easy to just grab the old articles
19:45 🔗 godane but i think the commits are redirect to www.washingtopost.com
19:45 🔗 godane and there never all of them
19:46 🔗 godane i will see about doing year like archives
19:48 🔗 godane looks like the archives only go back to 2008
19:49 🔗 DFJustin ia has been doing focused crawls of the post https://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Awashingtonpost.com&sort=-publicdate
19:49 🔗 omf_ I would imagine so
19:50 🔗 omf_ IA seems very on top of all the major news outlets
