[00:03] up until recently, i had a bottle of faygo in my cabinet [00:06] ex roommates [01:40] http://www.archive.org/details/PennyArcadeExpo2007Footage [02:00] So I'm mirroring a couple websites of radio stations in Chicago which are going away Thursday, anything more I can do other than save them myself for posterity? [04:17] Record the full broadcast days? [05:26] ndurner: hmm I wonder if it would be better if the "get" apis returned the record keys for each item, and the update apis took that key instead. I think it would find the record faster [05:41] Coderjoe: thanks, will answer later [06:19] Work WORK work [06:38] SketchCow: fun work or boring work? [06:44] ok so [06:44] how big could encyclopedia dramatica really be? [06:46] anyone tried a personal wget project on that one? [06:57] Uh, we already did this Qwerty0 [07:01] http://www.archive.org/details/2010-01-encyclopedia-dramatica [07:02] whaa? [07:03] huh, i guess i was pretty confused on the status of backups when the original ED went under [07:04] oh wow, looks like that's got images and everything! how did i not hear about this? [07:06] I don't know. This was all covered in this channel. [07:06] Beats us [07:06] I've been seeding that for.. months? [07:07] i think it's that i've been getting my info from our wiki [07:08] well i guess i'll throw the archive.org link up on the wiki, then [07:15] best keep yourself informed [07:29] i am not accustomed to these non-wiki ways of learning! [08:06] Coderjoe: do you propose to hand out database IDs to client scripts? [08:07] If so, how would you return the actual group/directory name? [08:08] (network usage by itself is not an issue) [14:10] eek, yes i should backup my floppies [14:12] precious apple ][ piracy :) [14:12] i did make backups years ago [14:12] on other floppies [14:12] oh god i want to play some apple ][ now [14:13] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2ONtrAqU2s !! [14:14] woah, that game had colours, i only have a green screen [14:17] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI7pgU8pahk :) [14:17] i was a master at this one [14:17] or a clone, not sure [14:17] iirc most of the games were clones my dad's students programmed [14:36] guess I will have to get in touch, still have a drawer of apple floppies and others.... [14:38] the c64 originals I had dumped by the http://c64preservation.com/ guys (who are awesome) a while back [14:46] Excellent. [14:46] Yes, they're one the groups I have in that back pocket. [14:51] your head looks so shopped on http://www.flickr.com/photos/textfiles/5659199357 [15:21] SketchCow: might want to s/unreasonable/unreadable/ on the floppy post [15:22] anyway, this reminds me that I found a Kaypro II on the porch of the cabin I'm renting, and boxes of old 5" floppies circa 1982.. haven't gotten it going yet [15:37] Hate everyone! [15:40] may look up this gene buckle guy who offered to do CP/M unless you have a better lead [15:40] Gene and I are very old friends. [15:40] He's part of my mentioned network. [15:41] cool [15:41] depending on how rotted these disks are.. I'm gonna hook the kaypro up to the new inverter, perhaps I can actually run it now and see [15:44] I just read Jason's post on Floppy Disk's I think I have thirty or so 3.5" floppies that might be worth archiving, can someone point me to any page on how I can go about it and get it over to the Archive team? [15:45] fwiw, I have gear to do Atari 130xe and other Atari DOS disks [15:46] forget what the thing's called, it lets the atari use a PC's serial port as a second floppy drive [15:46] quite handy [15:46] kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/saved_my_atari_programs/ [15:47] All the stuff I have is for PC, but I have the Netscape Navigator 2.0 floppies (6 of them) and Wing Commander 2 (7) with the speech pack (3), then a bunch of other driver/install disks. [15:48] first off, write protect the disks [15:49] if they're regular dos/windows disks and you have some vague idea what you're doing you can probably do it yourself with ddrescue http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Ddrescue [15:50] ALright [15:50] Alright even [15:51] wc2 disk images are on underground-gamer.com [15:51] (i love that site) [15:52] ddrescue has a mode to keep retrying bad sectors which is very nice for aging floppies [15:53] someone with a fancy floppy controller like catweasel can probably get better results though [15:56] I've dumped various dos games but don't know an obvious place to curate them [15:57] heh, a Kaypro takes more than 750 watts to run. And has a hard drive.. that must have been very upmarket in 1982 [15:57] I also have 17 Kaypro manuals [16:03] DFJustin: underground-gamer.com ;) [16:03] i thinktheir wiki is open to the public? http://www.underground-gamer.com/wiki/index.php/Complete_PC_MS-DOS_Collection [16:04] oh "This project errs on the side of playability over accuracy. " [16:05] last I checked that project was sort of dead, guess it revived [16:06] http://www.underground-gamer.com/wiki/index.php/Redump.org_IBM_PC_Compatible would be more appropiate i think [16:06] no wait that are CDs only [16:06] * Spirit_ shuts up [16:07] I'm normally an accuracy stickler but for dos games it's less crucial imo [16:08] so many games were distributed only as zip archives on FTPs etc [16:09] Ah bugger, D3 of WCII is erroring out at 95% [16:27] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2754753 nice [16:31] http://www.softpres.org/ [16:34] Google Chrome could not load the webpage because news.ycombinator.com took too long to respond. The website may be down, or you may be experiencing issues with your Internet connection. [16:35] you broke it [16:41] Hackers news hacked. [17:05] HAHAHAHAHAHA LOOK WHAT I DID (pic) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Scott_Sadofsky#Presentations [17:07] heh [17:10] ndurner_o: (continuing thought from before you left) that is, the record key and the url fragment. (the key being the output of KeyFactory.keyToString, converted back with KeyFactory.stringToKey) [17:11] ndurner_o: perhaps something like dbkey:datafragment, and then cut, or "dbkey fragment" and use bash array handling [17:13] ./mode #archiveteam +b RMF!*@87.196.44.127 ... temporarily at least? [17:15] whats that for? [17:15] or not. [17:15] i have joins and parts ignored here, is someone flooding? [17:16] try it, in channels like this one the difference is night and day [17:16] yeah, RMF was "excess flood" quitting right after joining [17:16] aha, someone's in more channels than he can handle [17:16] no thanks. normally I don't care, and I like to know if someone I was talking to left [17:17] aye. i did it ages ago because it used to be a bunch of idlers in here with shitty tubes. [17:19] whee.. interleaving phone calls with IRC... [17:20] it normally isn't an issue [17:21] he could have also just been in one really big channel (along with one or more smaller) and was filling his sendq with names replies [17:22] exactly [18:32] Man, http://www.flickr.com/photos/textfiles/5085308621/in/photostream [20:06] adding images from Jason flickr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Lamp [20:07] wikipedia sucker admins dont want to move the title to GET LAMP due to policies about titles [20:07] wut wut wut [20:07] tell them the title is > GET LAMP [20:08] i did it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Uncontroversial_requests [20:08] He said: Oppose: MOS:TM. âCWenger (^ â¢ @) 18:04, 12 July 2011 (UTC) [20:08] Actually, that makes sense. In a journalistic style, it would be rendered in title case: Get Lamp. [20:09] Or, since you pasted while I was typing, what that other guy said. [20:10] Fork of English Wikipedia for this. NAO. [20:13] There are currently 7000+ languages on Earth. By 2050, 90% of them will be extinct. What are we going to do about that? [20:14] Learn from IA http://blog.archive.org/2011/01/30/digitizing-all-balinese-literature/ [20:16] Yeah, I heard of that when I was out there.
