[00:21] ha ha [00:21] Mom walks in [00:21] "What are you doing" [00:21] "Just punching the warrior" [00:21] "Almost finished" [00:22] yes [02:14] Do any of these Hulu download applications actually work. A bunch of behind the scenes stuff is always getting removed [03:09] I just spent some time on Tumblr. I want to kill all of humanity now [03:09] No one deserves to live. [03:09] Some of it was stupider and worse than 4chan [03:09] and I didn't think that was possible. [03:10] and I like how raw 4chan can be. Just in your face. [03:13] on tumblr, it really depends on the blog- some are definitely that bad- but others are just silly, sometimes funny, and occasionally insightful/interesting [03:13] i say we nuke the site from orbit. it's the only way to be sure. [03:18] It is a fundamental lesson I like to think I've been preaching that we don't get to judge the quality of the history [03:18] I was just shocked because the Tumblr I had been pointed to before had insightful but mostly funny stuff [03:19] Two sides to the community [03:19] now people are tweeting all the crap parts [03:20] Like the devops and programmer gifs [03:20] the reality show gifs [03:22] I found those funny. The never ending political rants and stuff of the like is not my thing. Of course we save all of it, the data can provide insight into why things happen. [03:24] So in summary. All the feels at once http://emoticoner.com/emoticons/piece-cake [03:24] SketchCow: i will archive the history entirely regardless of quality. I will judge it, though. ;) [03:25] silently, as it scrolls by [03:33] It is a fundamental lesson I like to think I've been preaching that we don't get to judge the quality of the history [03:33] "one man's trash is another man's treasure" [03:34] also omf_ I don't think Amazon is the best Butt producer anymore http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1960086844/miniature-wargaming-flying-assault-butts [03:39] I burst with joy. I can now have an army of flying butts [03:39] BUTTS EVERYWHERE [03:39] I might even sign up for kickstarter for that [04:10] I just realized I do not check to see if downloads are done. I check to see if I have any waiting to run jobs on IA instead [04:10] uploads I mean [04:13] http://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Aatarilynxmanuals&sort=-publicdate [04:19] wish I could download the Future Pinball collection from PleasureDome but I'd get my account banned [04:20] actually that reminds me, did you resume PicPx SketchCow? [04:32] Yeah, I'm unpacking it now. [04:33] Nice. [04:56] http://archive.org/details/ballyastrocademanuals [09:57] http://www.amazingsuperpowers.com/2013/02/cat-videos/ [10:02] no. no cat videos for me today [10:04] * Smiley managed some real sleeping [10:04] So hi guys, whats occuring now? [10:05] Internets [10:05] saved it all? [10:06] Posterious is still ticking along it seems so that's good. [10:06] 130,000 items left [10:06] interesting [10:06] also underscor is cheating again, the bastard [10:07] lol [10:07] cheating? [10:07] why is there someone on the username list with the name "aidsblood" [10:08] why not? [10:08] just seems a bit weird. can't come up with a name better than aidsblood? [10:08] is there a better name? [10:09] Couldn't you come up with a better name than BlueMax? :P [10:09] well my full name is BlueMaxima but EFNet's nick chopper generally cuts it down to BlueMaxim [10:09] and I didn't want to be known as a colored woman's magazine [10:10] No need to have a politically correct nick name, in an ArchiveTeam project IMO [10:13] well yeah, if we take your name, reverse it, reverse the s and r, and change the I to A, you'd be a right arse :P [10:14] yeah that was completely unrelated but this is -bs after all [11:46] mother fuck [11:47] the s3 stats... way more errors than normal [11:47] both the 3 hour and 36 hour [11:47] Hey Smiley [11:48] o/ [11:48] The channel topic [11:48] LOL [11:49] that was all SketchCow right after you left [11:49] Snitch [11:49] he won't do anything [11:49] :O [11:49] \o/ being the topic [11:50] I was thinking of grabbing the last 16 years of tv broadcast data [11:52] All the scheduling information [11:52] why the hell not? [11:52] grab ALL THE THINGS [11:53] I found one that has 1946 to 2006 [11:53] including SketchCow's beard! [11:56] Shit. I want to keep all my fingers [11:56] I would need a distraction [11:56] We could set a pile of books on fire. [11:57] I'd make it a diabolical Mouse Trap style game with a hard drive dangling over lava [11:58] I'd say "That is Geocities circa two days before shutdown, good luck" [12:00] sounds interesting, omf. (the tv schedules, that is) :) [12:00] It makes no sense there isn't just one huge fucking database people can access [12:00] I can get phone books no problem [12:01] and people went to court over that shit [12:01] I guess it's the stuff that no-one cares about that's lost [12:01] ... [12:01] go me and elementary logic. [12:01] lol [12:02] Not necessarily. Like when a government changes or the pope's bullshit. There was some cover up of the important stuff [12:02] History is written by the victor [12:03] I always thought it would be interesting to see when these shows aired in context [12:04] So was 'Family Matters' running against news shows? Or how about Family Ties [12:04] oh jesus [12:04] every time I hear the name family matters or family ties [12:05] I have to go watch a Retsupurae video [12:05] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyQ5NHNrPeY [12:05] aawwww yeah [12:07] thanks omf_ [12:30] http://www.reductress.com/agriculturalist-breeds-less-phallic-banana-popular-with-feminists/ [12:41] insight of the week: if you have log files in your items at IA and you dark the items, you better have saved those logs elsewhere too =) [13:04] i vaguely remember being able to set a maximum directory depth when mirroring with wget (NOT recursion level depth but actual directories), any idea what i have in mind? [13:22] -l, --level [13:24] my bad [13:24] I was reading something else [13:29] hmmm include, exclude, no-parent, maybe rejlist [13:29] for the filters i would need to know the structure beforehand [13:30] some regexp on a number of /?.*/ might work (the ? might be at the wrong place oops) [13:30] I am pretty sure httrack has options for this [13:33] yeah httrack has a link-depth feature [13:34] SketchCow's in the bloody Library of Congress? [13:34] that's bloody cool. [13:34] anyway, bloody gnight bloody wanks [13:40] pfft, aussie. [13:42] I love how there's all these serious talk(?) names, then there's yours, in ALL CAPS, with no definitive main topic. [13:47] delcious, upcoming [13:47] Nice one SketchCow :D [13:49] Man, S3 is screwed ¬_¬ [13:50] Item newswhore28.posterous.com: Step 3 of 7 - Downloaded 460 URLs some fun sites here [16:07] http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1enalw/neverwinters_economy_just_crashed_thousands_of/ [16:42] wow ouch [16:42] well thats the game dead then. [16:52] also if you're not following https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=%23presoft&src=hash you're missing out [17:17] this is precious http://archive.org/stream/Katie_and_the_Computer_1979_Creative_Computing_Press#page/n0/mode/2up [17:21] hahah [17:21] http://25.media.tumblr.com/7a654946996b911b35e24c41be7a1a81/tumblr_mn15noWLxl1rwaia3o1_1280.png [17:21] tumblr under yahoo (prior to shutdown) [17:29] DFJustin: what's #presoft stand for? :P [17:33] pretty soft, a twitter hashtag campaign against discrimination of erectile dysfunction [17:37] this https://docs.google.com/a/textfiles.com/document/d/1TX4DfLZEkUMKxTxB-VYfikBqskZ7SduPB6iEoDuMvyA/edit?pli=1 [17:40] o [17:40] is there a livestream or recordings? [17:41] not likely [17:41] iirc [17:42] based on my attempts to find recordings or streams of other LoC archiving talks [17:42] so basically, Library of Congress archiving talks are not... archived? [17:42] * joepie91 senses a tingle of irony [17:42] indeed [17:43] I'm actually unsure whether to file said tingle under irony or hypocrisy [17:44] "Has anyone ever tried to copyright a virus?" Well, I think I have seen copyright notices in some virus source before, but I don't think they were actually registered [17:45] jason usually insists on recording his own talks but the others may not be [17:46] https://twitter.com/benfinoradin/status/336525408918986753/photo/1 [17:46] who archives the archivists [17:46] Looks like a modified duplicator autoloader [17:46] blah, who was doing the Linux ISOs again? [17:47] which is what my 3.5" floppy rip station is starting from [17:47] MoFuggin Digital Ripstation [17:47] joepie91: omf_ is [17:48] alright, thanks [17:48] omf_: I just remembered that I should still have original (!) SuSE 9.1 disks laying around [17:48] as in, retail box [17:48] worth uploading? [17:48] I've got a 3.5" floppy autoloader from my employer's old disk duplicator setup, as they were getting rid of it. (I also have the computer that ran it as well) [17:48] (the home/personal edition) [17:48] I've got some old linux CDs, sans packaging, out in storage [17:49] like some old Walnut Creek slack cds [17:49] * joepie91 considers self-building a rip station [17:49] shouldn't be too hard [17:50] could probably just throw a few parts from DX with an arduino at it or something [17:51] and an old P4 box or w/e [17:51] I need to put together a rig for it that holds my digital camera over the ejection stack. I also would like to make use of a DF instead of a KF, but currently I only have the latter [17:52] digital camera? to auto-grab disc label images? [17:52] yes [17:52] and, "DF" = ? [17:52] DiscFerret, KryoFlux [17:52] also, perhaps modifying a document feed scanner would yield better results [17:52] for disc label scanning [17:53] as in, it being a proper 'flat scan' [17:53] you could have it drop a finished disc on a tray that is then fed through the document-feed scanner [17:53] coming out onto a stack on the other end [17:54] CDs are a pain. [17:55] indeed [17:55] the old way of doing duplication, before one of those robots that lifts a CD off a stack, was to have a mechanism like my floppy autoloader and have the CDs in caddies [17:56] Coderjoe: old slack cds sound useful, slackware 3.2 is the oldest readily available version, https://archive.org/details/cdrom-ldr-0694 has 2.0 in some form [17:56] and I might even have some old slack floppies somewhere :-\ [17:58] people have been installing old OSes in mess lately for fun http://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=86865#Post86865 [18:21] Coderjoe: as I recall, Brain set the volume label of infected diskettes to "(c)Brain'86" or something similar. not sure that counts as a legitimate copyright notices in places that require them though ;) [18:25] I will likely record myself for a record. [18:25] But yeah, they're just doing audio. [18:30] any idea where alard is? there are about 80k posterous users that won't get archived with the current scripts [18:31] alard probably has a life, you know. [18:32] he's not allowed :O [18:33] He's getting shit done, relax [18:33] Do we have a list of non-posterous-branded URLs? [18:50] "It is very easy to comply with this licence: Do not sell, modify or [18:50] abuse the software and don't steal code from source provided." [18:50] wow. [18:51] a _license_ claiming copying is stealing [18:51] guess I know what to stay away from [19:04] backup this: http://www.flickr.com/groups/nutella-day/pool/ [19:04] its images of nutella day [19:08] delicious. [19:08] Has someone done that yet? [19:08] * Smiley looks at timestamp and realises silly question. [19:08] Right, trying to see if I can find a linux based flickr downloader tool [19:11] Smiley: Done what? [19:13] downloaded all the flickr images for nutella-day [19:14] Hey, uh, so do you guys upload stuff to archive.org, yeah? [19:14] yes [19:15] Paradox29: Yeah [19:15] Alright, so a guy named chris85 from Myspleen sent me here. I gots some attack of the shows. [19:15] ooh [19:15] godane: ^ [19:16] TrollHD uploaded caps of November & December 2012, so I'm encoding them with the EXACT same settings eclipse used... [19:16] ...plus there's some weird ass 100GB files on usenet uploaded by TrollHD, which I believe to have more. I'm not 100 percent on that. [19:25] no need to re-encode for archive.org, you can upload in any format or file size [19:26] yes, the fewer transcodes the better [19:29] with every transcode, quality is lost [19:29] Smiley: considered looking at freerapid or jdownloader? [19:29] I'd bet at least one of them can mass-download [19:30] yup, freerapid lists Flickr as a working plugin [19:30] http://wordrider.net/freerapid/plugins.html [19:31] not heard of either of em [19:32] haven't heard of jdownloader? :o [19:32] no :D [19:32] freerapid I can understand, but jdownloader is reasonably famous [19:32] they're batch downloaders for things like filehosts [19:32] etc [19:32] throw in links, it waits for the timers, plans in downloads, breaks captchas where possible, etc [19:32] Nice. [19:32] they also typically do video sites and so on [19:33] ah I never really use filehosts... [19:33] sometimes there's no other choice :P [19:33] I'm oldskool, xdcc :P [19:33] problem is that the two most complete and up to date ones are both written in Java [19:33] so they're kind of bulky [19:33] but they work [19:33] and freerapid is slightly less resource-hungry than jdownloader, in my experience [19:33] Smiley: I don't get warez and such off filehosts, but often when I'm looking for some random driver or manual or w/e, I can only find it on a filehost [19:34] and often there's a lot of broken links [19:34] lol freerapid dl link ironically on a filehost [19:34] :p [19:34] so it's a huge timesaver to just be able to throw a pile of links into a download tool, and it deduplicates everything, combines multi-part downloads into folders, and removes broken links [19:34] DFJustin: haha, yes [19:35] anyway, both jdownloader and freerapid are generally great, but jdownloader is a bit heavier so I prefer freerapid, usually [19:35] also the interface of freerapid is slightly more simplistic [19:36] it's pretty much the Abiword to the LibreOffice Writer [19:40] Neat stuff http://techchannel.att.com/showpage.cfm?ATT-Archives [19:41] i'm doding a 2nd grab of cscope.us pdfs in google [19:43] I'm not re-encoding them. TrollHD releases are untouched 1080i streams from the channel. [19:43] I'm encoding them once, using the channel stream as the source + deinterlacing it. [19:45] 1080i streams are already encoded [19:45] hey Paradox29 [19:45] They are, but they're interlaced. [19:46] godane: I guess you'd be the guy to ask, right? [19:46] yes [19:47] i'm also the guy archiving g4tv website videos [19:47] https://archive.org/details/g4video-web [19:47] 43k+ videos so far [19:47] Are you chris85 or someone else? [19:47] i'm chris85 [19:48] Ah, right, cool. [19:49] i'm also saving the missing video keys from g4tv.com [19:50] bad news is g4tv stuff is gone from youtube now [19:51] So, I should have from October 26th to whenever Eclipse picked it up again using the same setting he used (under the name "Atomsk"). [19:54] Are you interested in pre-July 2010, cos I could probably pull that from Usenet as well. [19:55] the pre-july 2010 episode on usenet have top and bottom removed [19:55] Ah. That's cos they're DSRips. [19:56] From the SD channel, instead of the HD feed. [19:57] joepie91: where did you see flickr support, as I just installed it and it's not listed in the plugins as far as I can see... [19:57] Smiley: see the plugin list URL that I gave above [19:57] it lists it there [19:57] under flickr.com [19:57] herp [19:58] and now it just crashed altogether D: [19:58] here, have some complementary derp :P [19:58] oh [19:58] that's not nice :( [19:58] odd, it hasn't done that for me [19:58] I've gotten a few errors at times, but it never actually crashed [19:58] just said it did [19:59] "following urls not supported" D: [19:59] :( [19:59] hmmm [19:59] Currently I'm not very impressed. [20:03] Ah I bet I know why [20:03] https [20:03] grrr java is SO slow D: [20:05] java startup or something else? [20:06] now it just says even flickr.com isn't supported o_O [20:06] Do I need a list of all the urls of all the images? [20:06] if so, pfffft it sucks [20:11] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/cscope.us-google-pdfs-grab-20130520 [20:11] its bigger then my last grab [20:11] by about 8mb [20:23] joepie91: jdownloader workign better, doesn't look like it's grabbing the high quality images tho d: [20:24] Smiley: have a look at the plugin settings [20:24] yup it's enabled and setup [20:24] I can't find a setting page for the actual plugin tho [20:24] I mean to change the resolution [20:24] well [20:24] it should be _somewhere_ [20:24] :P [20:25] Ah there we go [20:25] it's starting to parse the links proeprny now [20:25] there is a button for settings joepie91 but it's inactive [20:28] 49Mb.... :/ [20:44] Java isn't all that slow. But there's a ton of shitty programs written in Java. [20:47] ersi: invariably, the GUI is terribly slow in terms of responsiveness, and it uses ridiculous amounts of resources [20:47] I have not seen a java application that does not have these issues [20:47] and I've used quite a few :P [20:51] Finally [20:51] have to go to the page in flickr to load each image as large [20:52] so thats the best I'm gonna do without some better tools. [20:52] 290+Mb [21:00] yeah, java is a memory whore [21:03] no no, the photos :P [21:03] now it's actually downloading them :D [21:09] Smiley: in what kind of timeframe do these photos have to be downloaded [21:09] and do you expect to need a similar downloading tool at a later point in time? [21:09] because I could have a look at writing one in approx a week [21:11] joepie91: I've seen several who's responsive and doesn't use all that much resources. Can't come up with an example right now though. [21:11] joepie91: But it's often wrong to fault the language for third-party applications [21:12] There's plenty of wrong with most languages. Java is no different beast. But over-simplifying and saying "it's" slow is a bit silly. [21:12] ersi: when I see literally every single application exhibiting the same issues, and these issues making sense in the context of how $language works internally... [21:12] then sorry, but I'm going to assume that it's related to the language (or rather, the JVM in this case) in some way, shape or form [21:12] :P [21:12] Java has too much boilerplate [21:13] unless it's shown otherwise [21:13] and it is a newer language [21:13] I'm just saying that's a stupid assumption and/or statement. But you're of course free to continue saying it's slow for the sake of it being slow. [21:14] it's the most sane assumption I can make right now [21:14] it's significantly less likely that every single java application has the same flaws causing the above [21:14] JIT can help a lot depending on the java application [21:14] than it is likely for the JVM to be at fault [21:15] All applications have flaws. [21:15] also, note how I'm not claiming it's "slow" [21:15] that was someone elses claim [21:15] because I am aware that, assuming raw speed, Java can be fast [21:15] I'm simply pointing out the UI and resource consumption issues [21:15] Sure, but that's what I'm talking about. I did however note, that I've had the reverse experiance (as well as the same experiance) as you. [21:17] the cli java apps I wrote for school were the same speed as the C ones [21:17] I think maybe a hairsbreadth slower, but probably due to having to pick the jvm up off disk [21:44] The s3 error rate has gone down over the last hour. The IA engineers are fixing whatever it is [21:45] Wuh-oh. Flickr expanding storage to 1TB/user [21:46] I wonder how they're gonna get money now [21:47] mo' space, mo [21:47] mo' problems [21:47] damnit enter key [21:48] http://www.flickr.com/account/upgrade [21:48] huh. [21:48] looks like removing ads or more space [21:48] though $500/year for an additional TB seems pretty steep [21:48] so mayer's keeping company culture of destroying sites by acquiring them, and also trying to refresh their major properties [21:49] from a business perspective, she'll probably do well. doesn't make yahoo any less of a destroyer of culture [21:50] "We are thrilled to offer every Flickr member 1 Terabyte of space going forward. We are ad supported business so you will see ads on Flickr." [21:50] http://www.marco.org/2013/05/20/one-person-product [21:51] I wonder how they're gonna get money now [21:51] Wuh-oh. Flickr expanding storage to 1TB/user [21:51] overselling! [21:51] overselling free? Yeah, that'll work [21:51] it does, actually [21:51] Oh, you mean plaster it with ads? [21:51] because by overselling free, you decrease the amount of upsells that you need to turn it profitable [21:51] no [21:51] see above [21:51] ads are a separate topic altogether [21:52] (and I absolutely hate ads, but that aside) [21:52] What? That doesn't make sense [21:53] In terms of working together, Tumblr can deploy Yahoo!’s personalization technology and search infrastructure to help its users discover creators, bloggers, and content they’ll love. In turn, Tumblr brings 50 billion blog posts (and 75 million more arriving each day) to Yahoo!’s media network and search experiences. The two companies will also work together to create advertising opportunities that are seamless and en [21:53] hance user experience. [21:53] there's your key paragraph [21:53] So, they bought users to their search infra? Or what? [21:53] pretty much [21:54] and a way to push their version of facebook connect or something [21:54] Well, I won't bash them.. They seem to be making money, even though they kill a lot of things that they touch [21:54] But it still doesn't.. explain the overselling free @ Flickr [21:54] what I'm reading in the quote from Aranje is "we want to integrate tumblr search into our main search so that it looks shinier and perhaps we can regain some users" [21:55] I mean, they got to have had a few users before? Some of them must've got the Pro service? [21:55] joepie91:) that could actually make yahoo relevant again. tumblr's pretty legit in that arena [21:55] I mean, I understand what you said, for Tumblr. Not Flickr. [21:55] Aranje: if they manage to properly metadata-tag piles and piles of images, then... maybe [21:56] ersi: what I mean with overselling free, is that they are not expecting free users to actually use 1TB of space [21:56] joepie91:) tumblr succeeded by "letting" (making) the users do it, so maybe they can use tumblr's dataset as a seed? [21:56] they "promise" everyone 1TB, but nearly noone will use that [21:56] ersi, I think it is so people start shoving images on there just like on instagram, twitshit and the like [21:56] in the meantime, it's a nice shiny carrot to attract more users, even those that care more about having a lot of space than about actually using it [21:56] which means there's more chance to upsell [21:57] not in terms of space, but in terms of features [21:57] I am unsure if the Pro plans right now offer extra features, but I strongly doubt that space is something they'll try to earn their money off [21:57] hahahaha you have tons of space BUT CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT until you buy pro! [21:57] Sure, the majority won't use it - but in terms of that scale. You'll have power users take a lot of space. [21:57] I never upgraded to Pro but I will use flickr more now that I have more space [21:57] (which is probably also why an extra TB costs $500 - IF you actually use all your space, they want you to pay for that relatively insane usage) [21:58] I would just sign up for another Free account. Heh. [21:58] well yes, you would :P [21:58] most non-very-internet-savvy people probably wouldn't [21:58] it appears they've put the kibosh on pro entirely [21:58] And how many non-very-internet-savvy people would use 1 TB? [21:58] I am scaling down my accounts [21:58] if you pay now it's to remove ads [21:58] The ones who upload RAW photos? [21:58] also my pro account that reverted to free that had > 200 pictures now has all of them visible, last week only the last 200 i uploaded were [21:58] ersi: you'd be surprised [21:58] I used to have over 100+ logins from all the various sites combined [21:58] joepie91: No, I wouldn't [21:59] I upload RAW photos ;) [21:59] does flickr even accept raws? [21:59] wakka wakka [21:59] what else are my options? Bitbucket [21:59] pft: I think so [21:59] I mean photobucket [21:59] adbucket [21:59] fuck all these sites with alike names [22:00] wow, didn't realize flickr allowed raw uploads [22:01] hahahaha [22:01] tc is running no-content stories, how chic [22:01] wordpress gets 72k tumblr imports in an hour and it's news [22:02] tc reports tumblr having 52b blogs? is that posts or actual blogs [22:03] cause that's a lot of fucking blogs [22:03] that's a lot of "reblogged" porn [22:03] ohhhhh it IS posts [22:03] yeah [22:03] 75m/day, they say [22:04] I guess I have to appreciate the care with which tumblr saves every single suicide girl photo shoot [22:06] two finals down... two to go. sounds like as good a time as any to rewrite the css for my blog to be mobile->blimpscreen scalable [22:21] so why is it that only some of my videos ever have video gifs in search? [22:21] someone in here mentioned liking (or at least watching) Warehouse 13- there's new episodes starting tonight [22:22] godane: apparently you only get that if the video filename matches the item name [22:22] which is dumb mind you [22:24] oh [22:24] explains why my click videos have it working [22:26] bbc click: https://archive.org/search.php?query=bbc%20click%20AND%20subject%3A%22tech%20show%22&sort=-publicdate [22:26] another collection [22:26] http://aphyr.com/data/posts/286/-108.jpg [22:27] even though i think you have mpeg2 rips of it cause there is a bbc click tv program item [22:28] there are a lot of dumb quirks like that on ia because they apparently have hardly any programmers [22:29] another reason to start think of making a mobile archive.org setup or something [22:30] linux distro that can act like server for local lan version of IA [22:30] I bet they could get contributions rolling, but that'd require mentoring/"managing" the community [22:31] could be used for programers to fix things [22:31] that can then be add to back end at later date [22:36] I'm vibrating right now. Google's VP9 video thing is gonna be matroska{ vp9+opus} [22:36] so. fucking. hot. [22:54] ersi, they need documentation first. Most of the stuff I came up with for my programs has zero online documentation. I found it by trying things out and asking people [22:54] I need to find a decent, inexpensive, looks-like-a-floppy-drive flash reader. that is, it has the old 34-pin floppy interface, but you put in a flash card of some sort and load from it. [22:54] damn industrial-level machines that still take floppies [22:55] Coderjoe, I saw something like that the other day [22:55] I think it was an Arduino that took usb and made it into 34 pin [22:55] They were using it to hook old 5.25 drives to new computers [22:56] no [22:56] I want to replace the floppy drive with something that uses SD cards or something [22:56] that is what I am saying [22:56] in a system with no USB ports or the like [22:56] you use this to get a usb plug and use a usb flash reader plugged in [22:57] but it is the opposite way around from what I am looking for [22:57] If it goes one way, it goes the other as well. It is just an adapter [22:58] not quite [23:03] I saw some project ages ago to do what I am looking for [23:06] Coderjoe: pretty sure DealExtreme sells these things [23:06] not many people have a need for this [23:07] have you ever seen DX? so many things on there that not many people have a need for :P [23:07] some things of which I wonder whether _anyone_ has a need for it... [23:09] Anyone have experience with a foldable keyboard [23:15] omf_: You mean IA needs documentation? [23:16] Oh, with the uploads and all? [23:17] They need a spec so programmers have something to work against [23:18] There used to be 4 mashup apis that used the Internet Archive. Now based on research I did there are no public ones [23:18] Sure, that's included in my whole "contribution" talk thing [23:18] But yes, that's certainly something that's needed [23:19] I have a theory about it. It is not a sexy enough problem. Search is sexy, apis and clis are not so much [23:19] photo sharing app = sexy, librarians = boring [23:19] wow at flichr announce. 1tb space.. [23:20] almost worth getting an account to store "pictures" with that amt of space [23:20] I am going to create an account and shove all the posterous screenshots into it [23:20] fuck YEAH [23:20] lets see if that is 1tb [23:20] where picture = jpeg header + my real data ;) [23:21] and then I can tumblr about it [23:21] oh wow, that's the free account too [23:21] yes [23:21] omf_: with foldable keyboard, you mean those rollable washable silicon thingies? [23:21] yes [23:21] I always wanted to try them [23:21] Sure, that's a theory. Or maybe it's because it's such a daunting thing to get started in a project that has little documentation and a monster codebase [23:21] * joepie91 doesn't like them [23:21] like, they work [23:21] That's why it needs encouragement, like easing, mentoring and "managing" :p [23:21] but the keys feel really squishy [23:22] as expecte [23:22] expected * [23:22] ersi, It is [23:22] if you have a high quality one, it'll be 'okay' to type on, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it for heavy typing [23:22] omf_: How in hell can you just answer "It is"? [23:22] oh [23:22] to daunting thing? [23:22] Considering I am building cli apps for IA with no documentation, I understand the problem. I already got stuff on my github [23:23] Managing this linux collection through the website is pain [23:23] I use a modified ias3upload for uploads and ia-dirdiff to run checks [23:30] The IA has two different json query variables but one is deprecated and works on certain admin pages while the other works uniformly across the site [23:30] except that search results are returned as JSONP while everything else is JSON [23:31] I have one of those rollable keyboards [23:31] it's cool to bust out but it's not very usable [23:32] Is it better than a laptop keyboard in a pinch? [23:32] no [23:32] then I am not getting one [23:32] you can type things on it (slowly) if you have a good flat surface but no action gaming [23:32] if it's on your lap or something forget it [23:33] I would like to have a bigger keyboard when I hate to take my laptop to work things [23:33] and not have to carry an actual keyboard [23:33] I think there are ones that are rigid but fold up [23:34] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/G4.Comic.Con.10.Live [23:36] I got it to use with my tablet and you could make an argument for it there but a laptop keyboard is way better [23:38] Some of these folding ones look good [23:54] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/confessions.of.a.booth.babe.dsr.xvid-eclipse [23:54] i think that will get in the top ten at some point
