01:08 🔗 SketchCow Hello Jason.
01:08 🔗 SketchCow While doing a vanity search I ran across your web site. I'm both intrigued and concerned that anyone would bother to archive the inane banter of 20 year old Fido Net messages. The Fido Net was generally bickering, any information that may have been slightly relevant then has certainly become less so with the passage of time.
01:08 🔗 SketchCow Most of us I think would rather forget the inane ramblings and snake baiting that was Fido Net.
01:08 🔗 SketchCow Thanks.
01:13 🔗 chronomex "Thanks for your inane bickering, 20 years late"

07:33 🔗 db48xOthe no accounting for taste, I suppose
07:34 🔗 db48xOthe or rather, I suppose you can track the network of effects on an individual's taste, but that still doesn't explain it

15:56 🔗 underscor God, I hate airport security
16:12 🔗 closure I'm not fond of Bosnian border security, but I'd prefer it to US airport security every day :P
16:15 🔗 underscor Hahaha
16:15 🔗 underscor Is it really better?
16:16 🔗 closure (they're not happy when your 3 cars accidentially block the entire border to the country so buses can't get in and the drivers are off getting insurance)
16:16 🔗 underscor lol
17:24 🔗 SketchCow Checking in the Friendster into archive.org! This should go well.
17:32 🔗 DFJustin I see a bunch of google video in the derive queue
17:50 🔗 SketchCow http://catalogd.us.archive.org/log_show.php?task_id=82538148
17:50 🔗 SketchCow Well, it's google data metadata.
18:01 🔗 SketchCow http://catalogd.us.archive.org/log_show.php?task_id=82538148
18:01 🔗 SketchCow Seems to be going along.
18:39 🔗 swebb http://archiveteamorg.appspot.com/getgrp - ERROR 444: Internal Server Error.
18:40 🔗 swebb http://archiveteamorg.appspot.com/getdir?n=1 - ERROR 509: Bandwidth Limit Exceeded.
18:41 🔗 swebb but sometimes it works.
18:56 🔗 ndurner The end is near. And that's good.
18:57 🔗 ndurner 444 = nothing to download *right now*; 509 = saving bandwidth, not actually exceeding it
19:44 🔗 SketchCow The friendster first million is uploaded and archive.org is suffering through analyzing it.
20:25 🔗 jch hello
20:25 🔗 jch have you guys ever needed to deal with conspiracy nuts?
20:26 🔗 jch and how do you do it
20:27 🔗 jch context: i have an aquaintance that is completely convinced that contrails after planes are actually poison, weather control and all sorts of nasty stuff
20:28 🔗 SketchCow Like an infection, you route around as much as possible.
20:29 🔗 SketchCow I have a friend who can't take any reasonable discussion about anything of weight on facebook and not turn it into an anti-obama rant, hatred of immigrants, and despair that the country does not seem to be like his ideal he visualizes as having existed 50 years previous.
20:29 🔗 SketchCow I stopped allowing his updates on my page, life got better for me.
20:30 🔗 jch heh
20:30 🔗 SketchCow http://www.archive.org/details/FRIENDSTER-000000000
20:31 🔗 jch 'snot public yet
20:31 🔗 SketchCow http://www.archive.org/details/FRIENDSTER-000000000&reCache=1 Try that
20:31 🔗 jch Damn, I want to teach these conspiracy people to not live in constant fear so bad
20:31 🔗 SketchCow It's kind of going to fluctuate back and forth until things are going on.
20:32 🔗 jch no dice
20:32 🔗 SketchCow It'll work itself out.
20:32 🔗 jch there we go
20:32 🔗 bsmith093 SketchCow: is that podcast collecting thing searchable?
20:32 🔗 SketchCow I still need to write the introduction, etc.
20:32 🔗 SketchCow I stopped collecting podcasts a long time ago.
20:32 🔗 jch yeah yeah
20:32 🔗 SketchCow I was doing it for about six months.
20:32 🔗 SketchCow But it's a nice grab.
20:32 🔗 bsmith093 whatever happened to it?
20:32 🔗 SketchCow They're on DVD-Rs in my collection.
20:32 🔗 SketchCow I will be uploading it, no worries.
20:33 🔗 bsmith093 because I would love a copy of geekfu action grip, by mur lafferty, i cant even find the links to it in the archive, or the wayback machine.
20:34 🔗 SketchCow I would, personally, not go crazy hoping I have it
20:35 🔗 bsmith093 yeah i know, but i emailed her and she doesnt seem to have a copy either
20:35 🔗 SketchCow I should ramp that thing up again.
20:35 🔗 SketchCow Maybe I will.
20:35 🔗 SketchCow It'd be nice to backfill some of the podcasts.
20:36 🔗 bsmith093 anyway, i just read your facebook posts, or rather your anti facebook posts, and have you noticed your archiving every site except facebook. i know you said you wouldnt even try, but still...
20:36 🔗 SketchCow ...but still I won't
20:36 🔗 bsmith093 agreed, still why friednster>
20:36 🔗 SketchCow Friendster was going down.
20:37 🔗 SketchCow And it was feasible to get a portion.
20:37 🔗 SketchCow Which we got. 10% or thereabouts.
20:37 🔗 bsmith093 so how big was it
20:37 🔗 SketchCow Very
20:37 🔗 bsmith093 giga tera peta?
20:37 🔗 SketchCow Tera
20:37 🔗 SketchCow Nothing's peta.
20:37 🔗 SketchCow Nothing we get.
20:37 🔗 bsmith093 video is
20:37 🔗 SketchCow Nothing we get.
20:38 🔗 SketchCow Like Youtube, forget it
20:38 🔗 SketchCow That thing will need to be nationalized
20:38 🔗 bsmith093 do they have mirrors
20:38 🔗 SketchCow Everything is on one USB disk in Santa Monica
20:40 🔗 bsmith093 I mean, yeah, they're part of Google now, but logistically, how does that work, do they just extend the backup index to the youtube stuff, or what? do they even publicize their backup strategy?
20:40 🔗 Wyatt Then considering the performance delta, what's Nicodou on? Floppies?
20:40 🔗 SketchCow Nicodu is running on a USB stick wrapped in a missing teenage girl's panties
20:40 🔗 SketchCow You know that
20:40 🔗 Wyatt Oh. Makes sense.
20:41 🔗 Wyatt They should probably upgrade to USB 2 soon.
20:46 🔗 SketchCow It's not as well known, but Yahoo Video was running on a FUSE filesystem connected to 45 GMAIL accounts
20:52 🔗 jch what
20:53 🔗 jch oh, that was in jest
20:54 🔗 SketchCow or was it
22:07 🔗 db48xOthe SketchCow: lol
