[02:37] <dashcloud> so, I'm planning to add a small section on software methods for transferring 3.5'' floppies to the Rescuing Floppy Disks page- anyone else already working on something similar?
[03:15] <bbot_> go for it
[16:22] <SketchCow> Hey gang!
[16:22] <SketchCow> Today, I give the mind-blowing archive team presentation to DEFCON.
[16:22] <SketchCow> I've rented a full tuxedo, with top hat and tails
[16:22] <SketchCow> I'll be performing in the Penn and Teller theater in the beautiful Rio Hotel/Casino
[16:24] <jch> I just drank 478 mL ogf Red Bull.
[16:24] <B2K24> coding time then?
[16:29] <SketchCow> DO IT
[16:33] <Ymgve> SketchCow: too bad you're not going to perform _for_ Penn and Teller
[16:34] <Ymgve> tho they're probably more interested in stuff being kept hidden
[16:38] <SketchCow> Other than Chronomex, who I've been hanging with at DEFCON, I guess no other archive team members?
[16:43] <jch> I am en route to CCC
[16:43] <jch> I was at defcon 17
[16:47] <SketchCow> That excuse is excellent
[16:50] <jch> defcon is crowded nowadays, isn't it?
[16:50] <SketchCow> Well, this new hotel is ginormous
[16:50] <SketchCow> The Rio
[16:51] <jch> ok, so no clusterfuck?
[16:51] <jch> btw, I'm in this bus
[16:51] <jch> http://twitpic.com/61qkp0
[16:52] <jch> It belongs to the pirate party, and it is *rigged*
[16:52] <SketchCow> That pirate party
[16:52] <SketchCow> 48 slides!
[16:53] <jch> think what you will about piracy etc, but they do a good job at injecting sanity in swedish politics
[16:53] <SketchCow> Well, I don't have any issue with the pirate party, I love third parties
[16:53] <SketchCow> And fourth parties, etc.
[16:53] <jch> telecomix, datalove.me, etc.
[16:53] <SketchCow> America only has 1.5
[19:16] <Soojin> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFHZZTQdVK4 women at defcon? yowza:)
[20:05] <underscor> :o
[20:05] <underscor> I didn't know that was allowed!
[20:05] * underscor ducks
[20:24] <Coderjoe> watching that video without sound is amusing, trying to understand what her gestures mean
[21:01] <Aranje> I'm actually excited by that.
[21:01] <Aranje> It means that, contrary to the stereotypes, there are women out there who actually want to be in tech and hacking
[21:02] <Aranje> That can only mean good things
[21:02] <underscor> Downloading from http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20100130/ at 54MB/s
[21:02] <underscor> hahaha
[21:02] <underscor> That's amazing
[21:03] <Aranje> Are you trying to get historical copies of wikipedia?
[21:04] <underscor> Yeah
[21:39] <Frigolit> underscor: why not latest? :P
[21:40] <Aranje> for diffs through the ages, probably
[21:40] <Frigolit> there's a file containing all revision data in latest
[21:40] <Frigolit> ~300GB bz2, ~70GB 7zip, 5TB uncompressed
[21:42] <ZPedro> Hey guys, just a quick note to let you know I am not dead; I just had some stuff happen to me including a move; combine that with holidays and my main machine has not been online for very long recently. I will resume upload of my part of Y!V in two weeks when I'm back from holidays. Sorry about the long absence.
[22:32] <underscor> Frigolit: No idea, emijrp wanted it
[22:32] <underscor> I already have the latest
[22:32] <underscor> ZPedro: That's fine, you'll need to talk to SketchCow to get a new rsync location though]
[22:33] <Frigolit> underscor: heh, k
[22:35] <ZPedro> underscor: understood
