00:04 🔗 dashcloud chfoo: have you thought about AOL any more?
00:06 🔗 chfoo dashcloud: i captured some aol 5 traffic in virtual box and now i'm seeing if i can disassemble some of the program files
00:07 🔗 dashcloud chfoo: if you're good with languages, you can practically disassemble everything interactively- using the Star tool you can debug and step through the forms that make up all the AOL screens.
00:14 🔗 RedType http://mattmazur.com/2012/01/28/remembering-aols-fdo91-programming-language/
00:19 🔗 SketchCow https://archive.org/details/MVI5401 (Footage of next-generation IA Scanner)
00:24 🔗 dashcloud so, are you planning to swap out your full-size model for that model?
00:35 🔗 SketchCow Ultimately, yes.
00:35 🔗 SketchCow Disadvantage: Large-format books no
00:35 🔗 SketchCow Advantage: I can drive to Casa De Neckbeard and just scan the fuck out in the living room
00:35 🔗 SketchCow Or visit somewhere and drop it off while someone works on it.
00:43 🔗 dashcloud that is awesome
00:44 🔗 SketchCow It splits in two
00:44 🔗 SketchCow So easy to transport
02:24 🔗 operhiem1 The Penny Arcade Report's servers shut down Thursday - is it a worthy candidate for archival? http://www.penny-arcade.com/news/post/2014/08/27/shutting-off-the-par-server-on-thursday
02:31 🔗 SketchCow We grabbed all that bullshit when they first shut it down
02:31 🔗 SketchCow Then they brought it back, as far as I can tell, on a whim, and now they're shutting it down again
02:31 🔗 SketchCow Those antisocial fucks can piss in a bucket
02:53 🔗 operhiem1 Ah, I didn't realize it had already been grabbed.
02:55 🔗 operhiem1 I see no listing on the wiki - any idea where I could find it?
03:50 🔗 aaaaaaaaa its old enough, its probably already in the wayback machine on archive.org
15:12 🔗 webjedi WHAT FORSOOTH, PRITHEE TELL ME THE SECRET WORD
15:12 🔗 arkiver yahoosucks
15:12 🔗 webjedi danke!
22:32 🔗 raylee sigh
22:32 🔗 raylee this is awkward
22:32 🔗 raylee working on a script, to dump lists of aol file areas
22:33 🔗 raylee well, i can dump the file lists all right
22:34 🔗 raylee all but the first entry, which has been replaced in memory (waol's listboxes are awkward, calling the win32 api function to get the text of a listbox entry gives you a pointer to a structure... at a certain offset into that structure is a pointer to another structure, at a certain offset into *that* structure is a pointer to a string)
22:35 🔗 raylee i tried in aol 4 to 8
22:35 🔗 raylee with the same results
22:35 🔗 raylee sigh
23:19 🔗 dashcloud raylee: there's extremely comprehensive lists of aol's file areas- so large that the problem is actually checking them
23:20 🔗 raylee lol
23:21 🔗 raylee lol
23:21 🔗 raylee well, there had to be, right?
23:32 🔗 dashcloud there's nothing wrong with trying- if you had succeeded, that would've been great
23:41 🔗 dashcloud I'll dig up my copy of the list if you're interested later
23:56 🔗 raylee sure.
