[16:08] Just checking to see if things are logging properly in here. [18:17] LOG FOREVER [18:18] The nice fellow who is scanning the CD-ROMs for us that is uploading to the filesharing service was not happy I was disliking the method publically in #archiveteam. [18:19] :< [19:29] :O [19:29] wait [19:29] hes not visually scanning teh cdroms? that coudln't work...? [19:31] SmileyG: optically scanning CD-ROMs? [19:31] i think they call that a "CD drive" [19:32] you know what I meant :P [19:34] you could, i suppose, but you'd need an insanely high-resolution camera [19:40] yup [19:45] we need to go deeper [19:46] thatswhatshesaid.wav [20:54] OVER 9000! [20:54] i have access to... [20:54] a huge... HUGE pile of porn at work :/ [20:55] though it likely isn't public yet :/ [20:55] do you work at a porn shop? [20:55] chronomex: nah [20:55] 1.8G CDROM [20:55] 132G Games Machine (Italian) [20:55] 68G Linux Format Magazine [20:55] 70G Linux Magazine [20:55] ISP/Telco. [20:55] aha\ [20:55] used to work with alot of companies which did premium rate sms stuff. [20:55] figures [20:55] i.e. text sex, get charged Â£5, heres a nice desktop image [20:55] :D [20:56] and as I tied the store room, I checked what was on random discs (there is about 600-700 cdroms floating around in various folders etc. [20:57] ok, now I'm here [20:58] oh hi [20:58] I saw you already started ripping the shoonay website that I suggested [20:59] :) [20:59] did you also check the cover disk section of oldgames.sk and the cds at abandonware-magazines? [20:59] I did. [20:59] I'm moving through things as I go, Hallfiry [20:59] the oldgames sk isn't very much to download (some floppies and maybe 20 CDs) [21:00] http://www.abandonware-magazines.org/liste.php has about 550 CDs and some cassettes and floppies [21:01] http://archive.org/details/cdrom-americas-premiere-shareware-1993 [21:02] I'll try to visit a friend of mine as soon as possible. he has ~500 german magazine CDs [21:03] so I can hopefully contribute about 1100 CDs this year :D [21:03] I'm about to slam 170 into the site. [21:03] cd.textfiles or archive.org? [21:05] oh awesome, german magazines! [21:05] yep :) [21:06] or, well. not magazines, but magazine CDs [21:06] do you rip after the redump standard? [21:06] yeah :) [21:06] or do you want me to scan mags, too? [21:06] the what? [21:06] :D [21:06] http://redump.org/guide/cddumping/ [21:06] I make isos/bins if possible [21:06] if not, I copy files manually [21:07] of the 608 CDs that I indexed, 4 are ripped manually [21:07] the rest worked quite well as iso [21:08] when i ripped ~40 discs, the majority would give me different checksums if i ripped twice :( [21:08] oh [21:09] the Pc Games CDs of 1996 and 1997 tended to have 3 reading error at the end [21:09] all of them [21:10] you will kill me for that, but I will surely not rip all 600 CDs/DVDs twice [21:11] SketchCow wont care :) [21:14] what I find quite funny, is that cd.textfiles has like 637 CDs (according to the add log) and I'm contributing the same amount from just ~2 years of collecting [21:15] where about 400 CDs are from the recycling yard :D [21:17] well, people like you rock:) [21:17] yay :3 [21:18] but actually I'm the blizzard historian oO CDs are just a side effect... [21:19] i am quake historian, high five o/ [21:19] \o [21:20] trolling blizzard for wrong facts on their website and facebook timelines is so much fun :D [21:21] they shouldn't let chris metzen do history things. he uses google for his own company history... [21:23] I gtg [21:23] see ya [21:23] don't know if I'll ever come back. (I normally never use IRC) [22:08] So, is su retarded, an idiot, or a retarded idiot? [22:08] I'll take all debates [22:10] differently gifted! [22:11] but far less useful than many other trolls/generally nuts folks I'm around [22:12] maybe just a SAP [22:13] oh i'll be at a public event and other people who weren't there might know i was there [22:17] differently gifted! [22:17] He doesn't even make me laugh [22:17] :( [22:17] Trolls that make me laugh are cool [22:17] Trolls that fail aren't [22:32] wow- http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15398285.2012.674000 there's a journal called Journal of Consumer Health On the Internet [22:41] O.o [22:54] you follow @pinboard too, eh? [23:16] I do- fascinating guy! [23:16] also a great service [23:17] this may not necessarily be off-topic: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/05/faster-than-your-router-verizon-doubles-fios-speeds-to-300mbps/ [23:19] My buddy may get that... in the area he's moving to it's only 200$/mo [23:21] it's an amazing age we live in- and soon we'll have wireless routers that can keep up with those speeds! [23:26] I think if you set your laptop next to a wireless-N router it technically can [23:26] some of the vendor specific extensions push wifi-N to 300 or 330mbps [23:26] It's pretty impressive [23:27] even low end linksys hardware now `supports` gigabit ethernet speeds [23:28] I doubt it's capable of actually quite carrying that speed, but heh still cool [23:30] Here's your page: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/wireless/f/80211n-300-mbps.htm [23:32] and yet youtube will still buffer constantly [23:40] actually, if you check here: http://www.buffalotech.com/products/wireless/wireless-n-routers-access-points/airstation-highpower-n450-gigabit-wireless-router-wzr-hp-g450h/ you can see the future coming [23:40] 802.11ac - gigabit wireless or so [23:42] sign me up [23:44] hah, I'll finally be able to ftp things at linespeed over wifi [23:44] legit. [23:45] Someday I won't hate wireless. Right about the time I die they'll get it right. [23:45] nope, radio is always out to get you [23:46] Shit. [23:46] hahahaha
