01:34 🔗 dashcloud holy crap- I just learned Ted Turner needed something interesting to say in a speech, so he decided to say he was donating a billion dollars (and did): http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/27/opinion/kristof-how-giving-became-cool.html
01:36 🔗 Famicoman thanks for the link dashcloud
01:37 🔗 Famicoman (for the giveawayoftheday)
01:37 🔗 dashcloud hopefully it doesn't suck horribly- I'd feel really bad if it did
01:38 🔗 Famicoman I'll give it a whirl a little later
01:38 🔗 dashcloud just remember to install & activate today
01:53 🔗 mistym 6 minutes left in the Barkley 2 kickstarter!
02:05 🔗 dashcloud damn- just missed that one
02:05 🔗 dashcloud here's a guide on how to replace the battery on your SNES cartridges: http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/pictures-how-to-replace-an-snes-cartridge-save-game-battery
02:06 🔗 balrog_ that won't work so well
02:06 🔗 dashcloud is there a better guide somewhere that doesn't involve soldering?
02:07 🔗 balrog_ without soldering it's gonna end up flaky
02:07 🔗 chronomex soldering is easy and fun!
02:07 🔗 balrog_ :P
02:08 🔗 chronomex if your hands are unsteady, one drink does wonders
02:08 🔗 chronomex three drinks and you grab the wrong end of the iron, not recommended
02:09 🔗 Famicoman true story
02:09 🔗 chronomex I recommend a $5 "learn to solder" kit
02:09 🔗 chronomex Famicoman: story of my first defcon, actually
02:09 🔗 Famicoman I could really see myself having a few drinks and grabbing the wrong end
02:10 🔗 chronomex it's not horrible, stung for an hour and had a blister for a week
02:10 🔗 chronomex you know. hot.
02:12 🔗 Famicoman yeah, I layed my hand down on one once, got me between the fingers
02:19 🔗 chronomex woops
02:23 🔗 Famicoman http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAKE-Magazine-EVERY-ISSUE-1-32-Wholesale-Lot-NO-RESERVE-/130824141084?_trksid=p2045573.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27%26meid%3D4487694473214601287%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D1011%26rk%3D3%26sd%3D190735466997%26
02:23 🔗 Famicoman damn
02:26 🔗 godane hey Famicoman
02:26 🔗 Famicoman sup
02:27 🔗 godane i found 2 cpu magazines from early 2004
02:27 🔗 godane there not on the computerpoweruser.com website from what i can tell
02:27 🔗 Famicoman Nice. I scanned and put this up not too long ago, http://archive.org/details/Blacklisted411-Volume2Issue4
02:48 🔗 godane looks like cclive doesn't support g4tv
02:48 🔗 godane :-(
04:04 🔗 godane http://www.ebay.com/itm/Assorted-Smart-Computing-Magazines-/330850165445?pt=US_Manuals_Resources&hash=item4d0834e2c5
04:05 🔗 godane based on the picture there some magazines from the learning series
04:24 🔗 godane will people for archiveteam give me money to archive magazines?
04:25 🔗 godane anyways i bid on this one
04:25 🔗 godane its only $12 including shipping
04:25 🔗 chronomex you might be able to get a grant
04:25 🔗 godane oh
04:26 🔗 Famicoman or start a kickstarter
04:26 🔗 Famicoman /telethon
04:26 🔗 godane i will need to start puting money into a scanner
04:27 🔗 godane i want a good magic wand scanner cause that way the magazines don't have to be debinded
04:34 🔗 Famicoman I'm wary of those wand scanners
04:34 🔗 Famicoman I haven't seen one that looks like it isn't cheap
04:35 🔗 Famicoman I want to get some sort of rig to mount my DSLR and take pictures at different intervals
05:06 🔗 dashcloud so, you probably want to go to diybookscanner.org, and check out a guide there
05:07 🔗 dashcloud there's a very simple one (involving a cardboard, glass, and a lamp) on instructables
05:07 🔗 Famicoman ah cool, I didn't know there was a simpler one
05:08 🔗 Famicoman also, that OCR software works reasonably
05:08 🔗 dashcloud glad to hear it
05:09 🔗 Famicoman the software itself has some engrish to it, which lowered my confidence, but the output is only slightly wonky
05:09 🔗 Famicoman mostly just formatting errors
05:52 🔗 godane Famicoman: I mirrored diybookscanner.org this past summer
05:59 🔗 godane so here is a list of magazines in the item i'm buying:
06:19 🔗 godane learning series: v6i11, v6i12, v7i10, v8i7, v8i9, v8i12
06:20 🔗 godane some from the reference series too
10:13 🔗 godane uploaded: http://archive.org/details/andriasang.com-images-20121226-mirror
14:16 🔗 ersi <div class="everyonelovesstackoverflow" id="adzerk1">
14:16 🔗 ersi nice classname
20:47 🔗 mistym Hey, anyone willing to give some feedback on a kickstarter? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/homebrew/2139776902?token=089341d8
20:47 🔗 mistym Not live yet. Need opinions on description, rewards.
21:07 🔗 SketchCow Why are you setting yourself up for 100,000 pounds of income for a 1000 pound reward
21:10 🔗 mistym We're not actually expecting that many backers. The $5k quid reward is somewhat of a laugh or a "maybe it'll happen".
21:11 🔗 mistym Personally I think we'll end up well over £1000, but that's what we actually need to do what we want to do. (Stretch rewards we'll probably need...)
21:14 🔗 mistym Do you think the rewards are too high-priced?
21:14 🔗 SketchCow Yes, I think they're insane
21:14 🔗 SketchCow I could use a few bucks, but if you give me a DIAMOND, I'll give you a HUG
21:14 🔗 mistym lol
21:14 🔗 mistym Heh, I didn't notice the £50 "name on a website" made it in.
21:15 🔗 SketchCow What is your real number.
21:15 🔗 mistym Stuff like the pint glass/t-shirt are priced around still having something left after we pay for the cost of the reward itself
21:15 🔗 mistym Crap, need to leave
21:15 🔗 mistym £1000 is the base of what we need for hardware.
21:16 🔗 * balrog_ wishes that the files that used to be at http://web.archive.org/web/20010503043520/http://www.ictpld.com/programverify/ still existed somewhere
21:16 🔗 SketchCow Right
21:16 🔗 SketchCow But that's the real number.
21:16 🔗 SketchCow What number do you WANT
21:58 🔗 ersi mistym: Are you buying a machine for virtualization?
23:39 🔗 godane resaving episode 2012-11-30 of wilkow show on the blaze
