00:53 πŸ”— SketchCow I realize having people upload stuff by FTP, they should really upload a "DONE" file so I know I can touch it.
01:00 πŸ”— raylee even better, upload final filesize and hashes
01:04 πŸ”— joepie91 hmm
01:04 πŸ”— joepie91 SketchCow: what's the rationale behind upload by FTP? upload resuming?
01:08 πŸ”— SketchCow Raionale?
01:08 πŸ”— SketchCow That's quite a word to use.
01:08 πŸ”— SketchCow I find people are sometimes sitting on top of a large amount of data, but they don't know how to use the scripts, or the stupid little tricks in the system to make sure it all renders properly.
01:08 πŸ”— SketchCow And so sometimes, I just say "FTP this pile here, and I'll deal with it."
01:10 πŸ”— SketchCow I'm the world's friend.
01:14 πŸ”— joepie91 I see
02:53 πŸ”— Aszurom Hello archiveteam
02:57 πŸ”— Aszurom So, I know archiveteam and achive.org aren't related... but is there some crossover?
03:00 πŸ”— danneh_ Aszurom: We send most of our stuff to archive.org once we've got it, but we're not a part of them
03:00 πŸ”— Aszurom I'm trying to figure out how they accept things
03:00 πŸ”— Aszurom I was talking to the former editor of Computer Games magazine, and I have the entire 200+ issue run available to me
03:01 πŸ”— Aszurom I don't think I could scan 150 pages x 200 issues myself in a timely manner
03:01 πŸ”— Aszurom but archive.org is proving very difficult to figure out how to send anything to
03:01 πŸ”— Aszurom or I suck at reading
03:02 πŸ”— danneh_ Fair enough. I'm honestly not too sure, from what I've seen people usually get directed to info@archive.org
03:02 πŸ”— danneh_ I'll ping SketchCow and see if he can point you anywhere more useful!
03:03 πŸ”— Aszurom thanks
03:03 πŸ”— Aszurom I've been trying to get @textfiles to respond but it's not getting me anywhere
03:05 πŸ”— danneh_ Ah yeah, you might need to stick around a while to get a response in here but someone should be able to help you out
03:06 πŸ”— Aszurom I'll stay in channel, but zzzz soon. 5am comes early.
03:06 πŸ”— Aszurom at least it's a govt holiday so I can slack hard tomorrow
05:12 πŸ”— DFJustin e-mail jason@textfiles.com
06:26 πŸ”— joepie91 Aszurom: anybody can submit things to archive.org
06:26 πŸ”— joepie91 just register an account, and hit the 'upload' button in the top right corner after you've logged in
06:26 πŸ”— joepie91 if you do not have a digital copy, then you can arrange stuff with jason
06:27 πŸ”— joepie91 but with sufficient automation, scanning doesn't take all that long :)
06:27 πŸ”— joepie91 if you have copies that do not have to be left intact, then you could even just cut it into separate pages and feed it through a form feed scanner
13:09 πŸ”— Nemo_bis Ouch https://archive.org/details/YourComputer_198202
14:41 πŸ”— Muad-Dib would it be possible for us to grab the old Halo 2 and 3 gameplay statistics from https://halo.bungie.net/ ?
14:42 πŸ”— Muad-Dib they´re a couple of million games, some of them got information purged, others still have it
14:43 πŸ”— Muad-Dib and the stuff hasnt been updated since another developer officially took over halo in 2012
14:44 πŸ”— Muad-Dib this is stuff going back to 2004
18:10 πŸ”— AlsoVonGu huh, there's no TOSEC for NeXT
18:33 πŸ”— DFJustin there's a MESS software list but it's pretty sparse https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/hash/next.xml
18:37 πŸ”— balrog AlsoVonGu: do you have anything for NeXT?
18:37 πŸ”— balrog it's hard to find anything :/
18:37 πŸ”— balrog *especially* original software
19:27 πŸ”— yipdw at long last, the final twitch stragglers are making it up to IA
19:28 πŸ”— yipdw I need to figure out a group-by-date-strategy for twitpic cloudfront WARCs next, that'll be fun
19:29 πŸ”— yipdw by fun I mean http://www.latein-lk.de/Bilder/XTra/Medien/Event_horizon.jpg
20:13 πŸ”— arkiver Muad-Dib: of course that is possible to grab. it just might not show up as nicely as on the real website in the wayback machine
20:14 πŸ”— arkiver Please give me some example urls of what exactly needs to be saved
20:14 πŸ”— arkiver Is the website going down?
20:30 πŸ”— Muad-Dib arkiver, I am not sure when it´ll be going down, but given that it´s a lot of data and it has been stale for two years AND the company hosting it doesnt have anything to do with halo anymore
20:30 πŸ”— Muad-Dib I think its better to be safe than sorry
20:34 πŸ”— Muad-Dib I´m typing up a Piratepad with additional info and stuff to grab now
20:34 πŸ”— Muad-Dib https://piratenpad.de/p/halo-stats-bungie-archiveteam
20:34 πŸ”— Muad-Dib arkiver ^
20:47 πŸ”— Muad-Dib Hey SketchCow, I know you used to play Halo, you might want to take a look at this
20:47 πŸ”— arkiver Muad-Dib: so no new stuff is being added to halo.bungie.net ?
20:48 πŸ”— Muad-Dib no new stuff is being added
20:48 πŸ”— Muad-Dib its being kept there for ¨posterity¨, but its a lot of data
20:48 πŸ”— Muad-Dib i´m not sure whether Bungie is willing to keep hosting it for long
20:48 πŸ”— arkiver Ok, I'll probably make a project
20:49 πŸ”— arkiver Muad-Dib: will be an awesome project ":)
20:49 πŸ”— arkiver Good thing is those numbers are incremental https://halo.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=123990987
20:49 πŸ”— Muad-Dib maybe we should split the project up per game
20:49 πŸ”— arkiver Muad-Dib: give me all the urls of the different games
20:49 πŸ”— Muad-Dib so we do Halo 2 first, and Halo 3 and ODST second and third
20:50 πŸ”— arkiver halo 1?
20:50 πŸ”— Muad-Dib taking a look at that
20:50 πŸ”— Muad-Dib halo 1 had no online multiplayer
20:50 πŸ”— arkiver Does it have any data?
20:51 πŸ”— Muad-Dib not of played matches, no
20:51 πŸ”— Muad-Dib just some pages describing the game itself
20:51 πŸ”— arkiver Ok, I'll be taking a good look at url structure and everything this evening
20:51 πŸ”— arkiver will eat now
20:51 πŸ”— Muad-Dib nice man :)
20:52 πŸ”— Muad-Dib bon appetit
20:52 πŸ”— arkiver thanks!
20:52 πŸ”— arkiver dankje ;)
20:54 πŸ”— joepie91 the amount of Dutch people in here is steadily increasing

20:55 πŸ”— Muad-Dib kanker :P
