20:06 🔗 soultcer Good: Yahoo! is very good at deleting Yahoo answers spam.
20:06 🔗 soultcer Bad: Yahoo! is also very good at deleting other data.
20:56 🔗 arkhive winr4r: I'm back. Took a bunch of pictures of what I got... Should I took pictures of his stuff though. Pics are uploading now. Got some brand new sealed manuals of the Apple II
20:58 🔗 arkhive I only got one piece of hardware. An Apple 5.25" external floppy drive. But damn, this guys whole shed was filled up with vintage mac stuff.
20:59 🔗 arkhive But got hundreds of floppies. both 3.5" and 5.25" .. some CDs. a bunch of manuals and books.
20:59 🔗 arkhive a lot of old 5.25" games.
21:15 🔗 godane arkhive: cool
21:15 🔗 godane i downloading occuprint.org right now
21:16 🔗 godane it maybe over 300mb warc.gz
21:16 🔗 godane cause it has alot of png and pdf files
21:16 🔗 godane also waybackmachine has nothing on this site
21:17 🔗 godane i just hope it finish soon
21:17 🔗 godane i think a thunderstorm is coming
21:20 🔗 godane it sucks that engadget does redirects with dates
21:21 🔗 godane i can't just scan by year/month/day
21:24 🔗 godane i may have to do something crazy to backup engadget.com
21:25 🔗 arkhive winr4r: pictures of part of my mac mission. (also includes pics of osborne I stuff and both of my commodore disk drives.
21:25 🔗 arkhive photobucket.com/macintoshresq
21:25 🔗 godane like download all page/# urls and then scan for year and month dates i them
21:25 🔗 godane *in them
21:26 🔗 arkhive give it a try :)
21:26 🔗 godane i will later
21:26 🔗 godane i still have techcrunch
21:26 🔗 godane and occuprint.org
21:28 🔗 godane i will not be the greatest cause i will have to focus the wget-warc to only capture a list of urls
21:28 🔗 godane *it will not
21:30 🔗 godane can you just capture a list of urls into a warc.gz instead of the full site?
21:30 🔗 godane that way i can have a warc.gz of just 2012/04 captures
21:31 🔗 arkhive Not sure.
21:39 🔗 godane just thought i would ask
21:45 🔗 godane occuprint.org is past 480mb mark
21:45 🔗 godane i just hope it finish soon
21:46 🔗 godane power is fickering here
21:47 🔗 godane on another note i got doom 3 alpha that was released in e3 2002
21:48 🔗 winr4r arkhive: yay!
22:19 🔗 godane looks like engadget used the same web host for there pictures back in 2004
22:19 🔗 godane like hackaday did
22:19 🔗 godane weblogsinc.com
23:35 🔗 godane occuprint.org is done
23:51 🔗 godane it looks like my .tar.gz mirror dump will have to be changed
23:51 🔗 godane the warc.gz will be original
23:52 🔗 godane but adding --html-extension cause things to break in normal lighttpd setup
23:53 🔗 godane most cause you get urls like this: http://occuprint.org/Posters/AmericaIsBroke
23:54 🔗 godane but the AmericalsBroke part is html with no extension
23:56 🔗 godane i will write a script to put all html files in ${basename}/index.html
23:57 🔗 godane this way when you go to link above when emulating occuprint.org locally it will work
