21:17 🔗 Coderjoe interesting...
21:17 🔗 Coderjoe ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/control/
21:19 🔗 SketchCow What is that?
21:19 🔗 Coderjoe archive of usenet control messages from 1991 onward
21:20 🔗 Coderjoe (minus a month around august 1992)
21:20 🔗 SketchCow You know what, we should just mirror that fucker.
21:20 🔗 SketchCow I'm going to grab it.
21:21 🔗 Coderjoe info about it: ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/control/README
21:21 🔗 SketchCow I'm grabbing all of ftp.isc.org.
21:22 🔗 SketchCow It won't be that much.
21:58 🔗 VonGuard hey sketchcow
21:58 🔗 SketchCow Hey
21:58 🔗 VonGuard heya
21:59 🔗 VonGuard so, when do you want block party to go off?
21:59 🔗 VonGuard got a date in december?
22:01 🔗 SketchCow I am positive it's not happening this year.
22:01 🔗 SketchCow HOWEVER
22:01 🔗 SketchCow I would like to talk about a different event with you.
22:01 🔗 VonGuard oh!
22:01 🔗 VonGuard well you said you'd wanted to schedule it in december at the made
22:01 🔗 VonGuard but another event works
22:01 🔗 SketchCow Yes, I wanted, but the main organizer's been a little distracted.
22:02 🔗 SketchCow Not responding, etc.
22:02 🔗 SketchCow I'm going to e-mail you in with them, it's a vintage computer group.
22:02 🔗 SketchCow Perfect for you.
22:02 🔗 VonGuard ok great
22:02 🔗 VonGuard we can get Sallem in on it
22:02 🔗 VonGuard if he has time
22:02 🔗 VonGuard we have a slot open in december for you
22:02 🔗 VonGuard solidify the date and we'll block a weekend for yer event
22:02 🔗 SketchCow This is the group who went to Sellam's things until Sellam disappeared and stopped doing them.
22:02 🔗 VonGuard lol
22:02 🔗 SketchCow So good luck bringing him in. :)
22:03 🔗 VonGuard he'll be fine with it
22:03 🔗 VonGuard sallems complaint was that he ran everything and no one helped
22:03 🔗 VonGuard so if we run everything he cant complain
22:03 🔗 VonGuard anyway, we have space for an expo area of about 1500 sq ft, and a meeting room for talks
22:03 🔗 SketchCow OK, good.
22:03 🔗 SketchCow That should be fine.
22:03 🔗 VonGuard not a ton of room, but the rest of the building is empty on weekends, and people can hide in stairwells and hallways to code
22:05 🔗 VonGuard sketchcow: #noisebridge is spreading the rumor that if they say your name 3 times, you'll appear
22:09 🔗 SketchCow Always good
22:09 🔗 SketchCow Or maybe being made fun of
22:09 🔗 SketchCow Or they want me for hugs
22:09 🔗 VonGuard no
22:09 🔗 SketchCow I'm in SF end of October
22:09 🔗 VonGuard oh good
22:09 🔗 VonGuard you must visit the space
22:09 🔗 VonGuard hopefully eberything will be off the floor and we'll have furniture by then
22:09 🔗 SketchCow I'd like to!
22:09 🔗 VonGuard oh, BTW: are there any multispeed floppy drives available for usb?
22:09 🔗 VonGuard for writing old apple 2 disks
22:10 🔗 VonGuard or better, 3.5" floppy usb tjhat can write lisa-readable disks
22:10 🔗 balrog VonGuard: uhm, no.
22:10 🔗 VonGuard there needs to be one
22:10 🔗 VonGuard or at least a spec and software for building one
22:10 🔗 balrog you have to use a catweasel/kryoflux/discferret card
22:10 🔗 VonGuard hrmmm
22:10 🔗 balrog I should get my discferret this week
22:10 🔗 balrog will report on how usable it is
22:11 🔗 balrog by "card", I include USB devices
22:11 🔗 closure heh, I was just thinking about visiting noisebridge when I'm in SF next week
22:11 🔗 VonGuard so, discferret can't write?
22:12 🔗 VonGuard we have a functional lisa, and shit tons of software from an archive we found, but we can't do much with it. the Lisa can net boot, but it's ethernet version 1
22:12 🔗 VonGuard so 3.5" it is
22:12 🔗 VonGuard closure definitely visit noisebridge
22:12 🔗 VonGuard and hopefully the MADE will be open too
22:13 🔗 SketchCow kryoflux can write.
22:13 🔗 SketchCow Go look is up, I got the archive to get one, I have one
22:14 🔗 Coderjoe the kryoflux is supposed to have writing support now. I haven't looked into it yet, though
22:14 🔗 underscor Noisebridge is freaking kickass-awesome-amazing
22:15 🔗 underscor (I still owe SketchCow for taking me :)
22:16 🔗 VonGuard perfect! Kryoflux
22:17 🔗 SketchCow http://webstore.kryoflux.com/catalog/
22:18 🔗 VonGuard and the included software can be used to write an image to a disk?
22:18 🔗 VonGuard oh it does 5.25 also?
22:18 🔗 VonGuard nice
22:19 🔗 VonGuard this is exactly what i've been looking for thanks!
22:20 🔗 Coderjoe I've successfully read apple2 disks with it using ordinary PC drives
22:20 🔗 Coderjoe (not flippies, though)
22:20 🔗 VonGuard oh, awesome
22:20 🔗 VonGuard 3.5's right?
22:20 🔗 Coderjoe i've done 3.5 and 5.25
22:21 🔗 VonGuard if this works for lisa discs, we can run a Microsoft port of a Unix port on a lisa
22:21 🔗 Coderjoe xenix?
22:21 🔗 VonGuard yup
22:21 🔗 VonGuard there's an awesome hotline server: preterhuman.net
22:21 🔗 VonGuard they have more lisa software than i knew existed
22:22 🔗 balrog ha, preterhuman.net is backed up left and right
22:22 🔗 balrog oh, I have a xenix set
22:22 🔗 balrog of DC42 images ;)
22:23 🔗 VonGuard neato
22:23 🔗 VonGuard i was shocked to see anyone still running Hotline servers
22:23 🔗 Coderjoe i've not played with xenix386 since 96...
22:23 🔗 VonGuard made me want to run one
22:23 🔗 balrog VonGuard: did you see Wired?
22:23 🔗 VonGuard which one?
22:23 🔗 balrog http://zankasoftware.com/wired/
22:23 🔗 balrog the software
22:24 🔗 VonGuard ohohoho yeah
22:24 🔗 VonGuard never installed
22:24 🔗 VonGuard but i seen it
22:24 🔗 VonGuard are all the servers as moneuy-grubbing as old Hotline servers were?
22:24 🔗 VonGuard "click this link, the second word under her tit is the login"
22:24 🔗 balrog lol
22:24 🔗 balrog I use private servers, so idk
22:25 🔗 Coderjoe i haven't heard of hotline in a long time. wasn't aware anyone still ran it
22:25 🔗 balrog :p
22:25 🔗 VonGuard They do, indeed
22:25 🔗 Coderjoe bittorrent is all the rage these days
22:26 🔗 VonGuard i've been searching for cracks for old macintosh games so we can run them in the museum without fearing losing the CD's
22:26 🔗 VonGuard whattorrent?
22:26 🔗 balrog meh, preserve CD images
22:26 🔗 VonGuard lol
22:26 🔗 balrog redump.org
22:33 🔗 Coderjoe boo. they only do game-related discs
22:34 🔗 balrog Coderjoe: yeah :(
22:34 🔗 balrog I'll have to talk to some people.

22:48 🔗 balrog I also have irssi to prevent inadvertent pastes
22:48 🔗 balrog set to prevent*
22:48 🔗 underscor I like it, it just bites me in the ass sometimes
22:50 🔗 DFJustin kryoflux only writes the software preservation society's IPF format images currently although they are planning support for other formats
22:51 🔗 DFJustin so it won't be much use for lisa yet since they haven't done any IPF lisa releases
22:51 🔗 balrog DFJustin: Lisa is basically the same as Mac GCR
22:51 🔗 DFJustin they don't support mac sector images either :P
22:52 🔗 balrog bleh.
22:52 🔗 DFJustin only reading
22:52 🔗 dashcloud VonGuard: you're with the MADE right?
22:53 🔗 VonGuard yes indeed

22:58 🔗 VonGuard and an xbox dev kit set
22:58 🔗 VonGuard we could use a net yaroz
23:40 🔗 Coderjoe pretty sure you could write a lisa disk image if you had the original to make an image from, though
23:41 🔗 Coderjoe that is, write the image to a floppy
