[00:04] so diytryin collection is up to 19 epsiodes [00:05] i'm uploading tekzilla epsiode 501 right now [00:07] SketchCow: can i just lose access to some collections that are complete so i will be under 30 collections limit? [00:13] https://archive.org/details/generalmanual_000000402 [00:13] TOASTER [00:13] Godane, yes, if you want to tell me collections you don't need access to, I can do that [00:17] i don't need this one: https://archive.org/details/tekzilla-daily [00:17] that one ended back in 2013-09 [00:19] SketchCow: also i thought the generalmanual ids was for testing [00:22] I fly commando [00:23] ok [00:23] i only question cause i was trying to fight names like that [00:24] why i give them to you in the first place [00:24] the only other issue was dupes [00:24] Dupes removed [00:24] and i have that fixed on my end [00:24] Now, of course, some of these might have shitty versions and some might be better. [00:25] some of them do look like very bad scans in some cases [00:25] same are also like the 1 page ads for the item your buying [00:26] more like spec sheets then manuals in some cases [00:30] anywasy i only went after those manuals cause it may have gateway support pdfs that are gone from gateway website [00:43] Well, on principle, the more manuals the better. [00:44] Over time, I expect help with the devs for working with this material. [00:45] ok [00:45] i figured it was going to be more dumping then put metadata into it [00:46] I'm not allowed to just dump [00:46] I'm only allowed to help make mechanisms for metadata entry to be easier and easier. [00:46] ok [00:52] http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Homebrew-Computer-Club-1976-Newsletters-letter-Altair-8080-6502-IBM-Microsoft-/111335862299?clk_rvr_id=625996910230 [00:53] Wow, this asshole is really shaking the money tree [01:08] money in there somewhere goddamnit [02:27] http://vimeo.com/93042217 [06:01] first new video in that collection: https://archive.org/details/Microsoft_Research_Video_103900 [06:01] THANK YOU [13:32] Manual uploads continue. [13:32] At the #11000 or so range out of #18000 [14:02] thats good [17:43] i'm starting to upload Sessler's Somethng collection: https://archive.org/details/Sesslers_Something_1 [18:33] downloading hundreds of rpg fanzines... [18:33] adding even minimal metadata is going to be a *huge* task, but totally worth it [18:34] scans of print zines from the 80s to stuff released this month. [18:34] IA OCRs it all at least and that does get indexed by google eventually [18:37] true, but even adding titles is going to be a bear. There are dozens of titles that only had 1-6 issues. [18:38] heck even just sorting the stuff could be problematic... I really should have filed stuff as I was downloading :-( [18:38] * exmic nods [18:38] but again, totally worth it. There's awesome hand illustrated stuff from the 80s... so cool [18:38] I usually write little shellscripts that pop up an image viewer and ask me questions about it [18:39] ooo, that's a neat idea [18:40] for example, my receipt scans: https://gist.github.com/chronomex/11408492 [18:40] but you could create ia.py commands or whatever [18:41] oh nice. [18:42] since you mentioned it, where does ia.py live? [18:42] I've been using ias3upload, but I'm always open to streamlining my workflow [18:42] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/internetarchive [18:43] oh... yep, just found it on my own [18:44] oh neat. It can read from stdin, so you can curl something down and then pipe it straight in. [19:43] SadDM, where are you getting these zines if I may ask [20:05] All over the place. [20:06] I found a directory of rpg fanzines, so a bunch came from there [20:06] and then I found another directory, so I got a bunch more from there [20:06] dozens of different sites [20:07] the 2nd directory is a superset of the first. http://rendedpress.blogspot.ca/p/old-school-zines.html in case you're interested [20:53] hooooo [22:08] not gonna bet much on long-term reliability but might be handy for mailing data around: http://www.amazon.com/Value-Disc-Blu-Ray-Spindle-Taiwan/dp/B00DUHUPCS/ [22:15] Not bad at all. What about just mailing external hard drives? [23:25] i know you can get a 500gb external hard drive for about $50 at walmart [23:25] 1tb for about $70
