01:51 🔗 Aranje Indeed, we haven't seen the last of you
01:52 🔗 SketchCow <fist-shaking at sky>
01:53 🔗 SketchCow I was trying to figure out how to talk about 1970s and 1980s text adventures and not show neckbeards
01:53 🔗 SketchCow I've decided either CGI, or flash cards
01:56 🔗 Aranje I'd opt for neckbeards
01:56 🔗 Aranje They're pretty knowledgeable on the subject
01:58 🔗 dashcloud obviously you were supposed to digitally remove the neckbeards
01:58 🔗 dashcloud without a neckbeard, they must obviously be a contemporary sort of person
02:02 🔗 SketchCow Also, my movies are terrible, and people should stop giving me thousands of dollars to make them
02:02 🔗 SketchCow stop it

16:08 🔗 closure http://www.berlios.de/ going down, may be worth trying to archive, although it's possible shooting an email to the right address could get a DVD with the site contents..

22:20 🔗 arrith aha. happy to be the first then :)
22:20 🔗 arrith sad that it's going down though
22:20 🔗 db48x222 indeed
22:21 🔗 arrith jason scott is getting mentioned in the discussions around the news post of it going down and that it looks like a pretty good job for the Archive Team
22:22 🔗 db48x2 heh
22:24 🔗 alard arrith: db48x222: closure mentioned it a little earlier, "I'll see what I can yank out"
22:25 🔗 closure yeah, so I have emailed them about getting it archived on archive.org, and we'll see..
22:25 🔗 arrith ah that's good
22:26 🔗 arrith but dang you guys are good at finding out about this stuff. i'll be the first to tell you all about something someday
22:26 🔗 closure pity esr never finished forgeplucker :p
22:27 🔗 db48x2 heh
22:27 🔗 db48x2 closure: we could finish it
22:32 🔗 db48x2 lol
22:33 🔗 db48x2
22:33 🔗 db48x2 Problem Statement
22:33 🔗 db48x2 At the beginning of October 2009, berlios.de, the hosting site on which my GPSD project lived, went abruptly flatline after months of deteriorating performance; I had good reason to fear that it had died a final death. Though Berlios came back up a few days later, the intervening process of trying to reconstruct my project data from git mirrors and the still-accessible Mailman administrative pages rubbed my nose in three serious design
22:33 🔗 db48x2 issues shared by many hosting sites and many of their software components.
22:34 🔗 arrith ouch. great example of what needs to be avoided.
22:35 🔗 arrith btw here's a webcite of the announcement: http://www.webcitation.org/625x502de
22:36 🔗 closure anyway, I will probably keep it civil for now, and if I don't hear back, at least all the code repos can be downloaded easily in a day later
22:36 🔗 db48x2 arrith: where are people commenting on the closure?
22:37 🔗 arrith "Berlios closing down (berlios.de) " http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3057455
22:37 🔗 arrith is the place i heard about it
22:38 🔗 arrith well code and bugs, forum posts, email posts, etc. there's also quite a bit of data on berlios.de that isn't related to projects directly
22:38 🔗 arrith such as all the "Portals" on the left: http://www.berlios.de/
22:40 🔗 arrith webcite of the frontpage announcement on berlios.de: http://www.webcitation.org/625xUbsJU
22:41 🔗 db48x2 should we "fork" forgeplucker in git or ask esr for commit access to his svn?
22:45 🔗 arrith i'd say fork with git since then you're not beholden to what esr is doing with his svn. might ask him for the "forgeplucker" name if he's not planning on working on the project himself also.
22:52 🔗 db48x2 * Forum and Document Manager state
22:52 🔗 db48x2 * Mantis bugs.
22:52 🔗 db48x2 * Tasks and task interdependencies.
22:52 🔗 db48x2 those are the things that ForgePlucker can't yet grab from Berlios
22:56 🔗 db48x2 we would also have to find or scrape a list of project names
22:56 🔗 db48x2 ForgePlucker only plucks a single project
23:05 🔗 arrith that's pretty good. at least not starting from nothing
23:05 🔗 db48x2 indeed
