[04:12] <SketchCow> I'm pulled your undefinited items from 900 to 140, godane. Enough for today.
[04:13] <godane> ok
[04:15] <S[h]O[r]T> dashcloud the aolforever guy never replied to my email :(
[04:16] <godane> SketchCow: just for you to know
[04:16] <godane> systm only lasted until 2009
[04:16] <godane> not 2013
[04:17] <SketchCow> yawn
[04:17] <SketchCow> ok
[04:18] <SketchCow> Remind me not to "help"
[04:18] <SketchCow> Fixed.
[04:19] <SketchCow> Some day when I'm really really really bored, I should find out the full story of TWiT Network and how that went relatively south.
[04:28] <godane> sorry
[04:28] <godane> just thought you should know
[04:38] <omf_> SketchCow, I could not find this on IA. I can snag it if you don
[04:38] <omf_> do not already have it http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8176696/Amiga_Demobase_V3
[05:05] <SketchCow> I can snag it.
[05:24] <Ravenloft> 01:19:35 <@SketchCow> Some day when I'm really really really bored, I should find out the full story of TWiT Network and how that went relatively south.
[05:24] <Ravenloft> you mean TechTV?
[05:24] <Ravenloft> http://twit.tv/the-twit-story
[05:24] <lemonkey> twit was (is?) leo laporte's thing
[05:24] <lemonkey> mostly a podcast network
[05:24] <lemonkey> "this week in tech"
[05:25] <lemonkey> altho I think jason calacanis borrowed the acronym so that it means something else
[05:28] <Ravenloft> lemonkey yes, its the name of a show and the name of the network itself
[05:29] <Ravenloft> they use the term netcast
[05:32] <Ravenloft> I watch the twit live sometimes, on sunday nights
[05:34] <SketchCow> Too much information I don't care about
[05:34] <SketchCow> They rotate shows a bit too much for my taste.
[05:34] <SketchCow> I'm glad godane is saving them definitively, though.
[05:34] <Ravenloft> lemonkey Founder of the TWiT.tv network, and netcasts This Week in Tech, This Week in Google, This Week in Computer Hardware, This Week in Enterprise Tech and This Week in Law, Leo Laporte, expressed disdain for Calacanis' use of the term "This Week in". Prior to starting ThisWeekIn.com, Calacanis had been a guest on Laporte's show This Week in Tech 29 times, and Laporte reported feeling
[05:34] <Ravenloft> betrayed,[57] suggesting that the use of the same name was intended to confuse advertisers and viewers.
[05:35] <lemonkey> nod
[05:35] <lemonkey> I remember that dust up
[05:37] <Ravenloft> godane will suceed with everything from twit.tv, hope the same happens with techtv (and zdtv)
[05:39] <godane> one of the twit shows is net at night
[05:40] <godane> it was called in the net before
[05:40] <godane> it has tons of interviews with people that your archiving now
[05:41] <Ravenloft> SketchCow TL;DR twit.tv is alive and doing well
[05:42] <godane> its why there is 500+ episodes of tech news today
[05:47] <Ravenloft> taking this conversation to #archiveteam-bs
[11:05] <dashcloud> S[h]O[r]T: thanks so much for trying!
[11:28] <Smiley> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/26/yahoo_starts_199_watch_list_to_recycle_old_usernames/ - dear god yahoo, wtf?
[11:37] <norbert79> So basically if you pay up, then you can get a different username
[11:37] <norbert79> lovely
[11:38] <norbert79> Yahoo started to become better but no, they really wish to screw up
[11:41] <Smiley> no no norbert79
[11:41] <Smiley> if you pay up, you MIGHT get a different username
[11:50] <norbert79> Hah, lol
[11:50] <norbert79> What a deal...!
[17:55] <Nemo_bis> SketchCow: how do I run book_op tasks on items?
[17:55] <SketchCow> Do you have a manager link on the left?
[17:55] <Nemo_bis> (as an admin, on items in "my" collection)
[17:55] <SketchCow> If you don't, I can do it.
[17:56] <Nemo_bis> on the left of the item?
[17:56] <Nemo_bis> I have "Item manager" linking https://archive.org/manage/*
[17:57] <Nemo_bis> And I tried https://archive.org/metamgr.php but I don't see everything the docs talk about
[17:57] <SketchCow> Item manager.
[17:57] <SketchCow> Click on it, see what it does for you.
[17:58] <Nemo_bis> As for admin actions, I can re-derive, make (un)dark, flush cache
[17:58] <Nemo_bis> Is it re-derive with some magic in "arguments"?
[17:59] <SketchCow> What are you trying to do?
[17:59] <Nemo_bis> Force the creation of torrent
[17:59] <SketchCow> I might need to do that. Give me the item.
[18:00] <Nemo_bis> All wikimediacommons* items, actually
[18:00] <Nemo_bis> btw when I'm done they should reach some 30 TB
[19:19] <DFJustin> torrent is admin-only
[19:34] <underscor> yeah, bookops are slash-admin only
[20:19] <Nemo_bis> underscor: do you also happen to know how to get access to the wiki? I am registered but can't see anything
[20:20] <underscor> I don't think there are (m)any public pages on the wiki
[20:20] <Nemo_bis> when I login I might even be seeing *less*, or https://wiki.archive.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IAS3BulkUploader mysteriously became private at some point
[20:21] <underscor> I think it's due to a twiki upgrade
[20:21] <underscor> poking around internal channels
[21:17] <Nemo_bis> underscor: they used not to be
[21:17] <underscor> "It was unintentional that pages were previously viewable without staff twiki account &  has now been fixed."
[21:17] <Nemo_bis> only some were
[21:18] <underscor> right
[21:18] <underscor> It was an oversight
[21:18] <underscor> (apparently)
[21:19] <Nemo_bis> still, how does one get access? :)
[21:25] <underscor> Nemo_bis: Staff.
[21:25] <underscor> They're internal pages
[21:26] <underscor> (as I'm told)
[21:27] <Nemo_bis> oic
[21:32] <Nemo_bis> btw, is it normal to have only 200 KB/s of download speed from Finland?
[21:32] <underscor> Probably
[21:32] <Nemo_bis> (which raises to only 1200 if using a 70* server)
[21:33] <underscor> If you om me your IP, I can show you the route it's taking
[21:33] <underscor> pm*
[21:33] <Nemo_bis> I mean, it's faster even in Italy ;)
