15:18 🔗 sp0rus unless it's an inverse corelation
15:29 🔗 SketchCow Jimmy Maher and I work in the same space.
15:47 🔗 SketchCow Oh, fudge.
15:47 🔗 SketchCow Does anyone have friendster-group-24.tar.gz ?
15:48 🔗 SketchCow Hey Paradoks - was it you who uploaded friendster-group-24.tar.gz ?
15:50 🔗 SketchCow Wait, wait, stand down - my mistake, no such file existed.
15:52 🔗 SketchCow (I was pushing stuff through pipes, and something that didn't exist still generated messages.)

16:37 🔗 SketchCow http://www.archive.org/details/archiveteam-friendster-fan-profiles
16:44 🔗 SketchCow So, I guess the only real way to do these google group sets is a billion files in 36 items
16:44 🔗 SketchCow The only real reasonable one.
16:56 🔗 SketchCow Well, THIS is going to run all day
16:58 🔗 * winr4r waves at SketchCow
16:58 🔗 winr4r i'm still playing with this disk image from that magazine, it's fun

17:01 🔗 winr4r awesome
17:07 🔗 winr4r oh cool, cameo appearance by a notable author (alex shakar)
17:17 🔗 Coderjoe alright... I give up... where do I ship the drive with the remaining 750-ish GB of friendster data?
17:21 🔗 SketchCow Uploading not working?
17:22 🔗 Coderjoe just taking forever, and I don't look forward to uploading another 750GB at this rate
17:22 🔗 SketchCow What filesystem?
17:23 🔗 Coderjoe the drive I would be shipping is a USB drive with xfs
17:23 🔗 SketchCow OK
17:24 🔗 SketchCow Jason Scott, Archivist, 300 Funston Street, San Francisco, CA 94118
17:24 🔗 Coderjoe i don't really want to, but at some point I might have to look at getting a comcast business connection with 10mbit up
17:25 🔗 Coderjoe alright. in this case, is archivist a separate line?
17:26 🔗 SketchCow Yes
17:35 🔗 SketchCow -avril-lavigne-fanclub-files.zip
17:35 🔗 SketchCow -avril-lavigne-fanclub-pages.zip

17:43 🔗 SketchCow I do
17:43 🔗 yipdw I'd like to get one of those pens

17:45 🔗 Schbirid for gnome
17:45 🔗 Coderjoe I have one of those somewhere. not sun-branded, however
17:45 🔗 Schbirid :]
17:45 🔗 yipdw not really for GNOME, just as a discussion
18:36 🔗 chronomex so apparently, according to someone in another channel, flooding in thailand put 25% of world's hard drive mfg capacity out of commission
18:40 🔗 db48x I hope not
18:41 🔗 balrog http://www.infoworld.com/t/hard-drives/the-impending-hard-drive-shortage-and-possible-price-hikes-176453
18:43 🔗 chronomex good thing i stocked up a month ago
18:53 🔗 winr4r :/
18:53 🔗 lowtekk that's unfortunate
19:07 🔗 SketchCow Just e-mailed jwz of DNA Lounge to find out if he has years of audio and video from their webcasts.
19:13 🔗 SketchCow mv: overwrite `/3/googlegroups/groups-a/adult-sex-cams-pages.zip'? n
19:15 🔗 underscor hahaha
19:15 🔗 underscor http://shitthatsirisays.tumblr.com/post/11520649159
19:27 🔗 lemonkey SketchCow: I do know that they scrobble whatever they played to last.fm (last I checked anyway)
19:37 🔗 underscor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BseyCNMQBc
19:44 🔗 lemonkey do the apple stores carry older batteries?
19:44 🔗 lemonkey like for a 13" macbook
19:45 🔗 db48x you don't want an old battery
19:45 🔗 db48x they lose 2-5% of their capacity per year even when not in use
19:45 🔗 lemonkey er I meant batteries for the older macbooks :) like the 13" macbook plastic
19:45 🔗 db48x you want a newly-manufactured battery for an old device
19:45 🔗 db48x sorry though, I don't konw
19:45 🔗 db48x call one and ask :)
19:45 🔗 lemonkey yea on hold :p
19:46 🔗 db48x doh
19:46 🔗 lemonkey steve kicks it and customer service gets shot
19:47 🔗 winr4r can't you get chinese knock-offs from ebay?
19:47 🔗 winr4r i've actually had nothing but good luck with those, when it comes to camera batteries anyway
19:47 🔗 db48x very likely
19:47 🔗 db48x probably cheaper too
19:49 🔗 winr4r much
19:50 🔗 winr4r like a third to a quarter of the price for nikon batteries, i dare say the same will be true for apple laptops, even if you can still get genuine parts
20:53 🔗 alard underscor: Are you there?
20:54 🔗 underscor alard: For a moment
20:54 🔗 SketchCow I'm assembling google groups into the big canonical directory
20:54 🔗 SketchCow What a huge thing
20:55 🔗 alard Ah, well, it's not urgent. Just wanted to respond to your mobileme-listerine answer.
20:55 🔗 underscor SketchCow: Don't break ext4
20:55 🔗 SketchCow Take a chill pill
20:55 🔗 underscor :D
20:56 🔗 underscor Sorry, that was meant tongue-in-cheek
20:58 🔗 alard underscor: I have a growing list of 250,000 mobileme usernames. Downloading one account can take a while (up to one hour, in my tests). So something distributed would be handy.
20:58 🔗 alard And distributed downloading of something, well, that sounds like something you'd do. :)
21:01 🔗 underscor :D
21:01 🔗 underscor Definitely!
21:01 🔗 underscor I was looking at the scripts
21:01 🔗 underscor Basically, looks like it'll be very similar to what we did with gbid
21:01 🔗 underscor Just using differnt client scripts
21:01 🔗 underscor gvid*
21:02 🔗 alard Yes.
22:57 🔗 dashcloud imagine my surprise when I go to look at the box of Palm Pilot related software & accessories I got recently and find that there's actually a Palm Pilot included

23:05 🔗 SketchCow root@teamarchive-0:/3/googlegroups# find . -type f | wc -l
23:05 🔗 SketchCow And growing
23:06 🔗 SketchCow You freaks saved a ton of Google Groups
23:06 🔗 SketchCow If we didn't get them all, we got damn close.
23:15 🔗 * winr4r applauds
23:16 🔗 winr4r i'm neaaaarly finished with k-power btw
23:17 🔗 winr4r just the 5 supplements to go
23:19 🔗 dashcloud what's the latest with the berlios archives? did they agree to give you all the content? if not, when do you start taking the software repository scraps?
23:27 🔗 db48x dashcloud: we grabbed copies of the source-code repositories via rsync
23:27 🔗 dashcloud I've got some of those- are uploads being taken yet?
23:28 🔗 db48x I bet SketchCow might be able to find some disk space somewhere
23:31 🔗 human39 I want to create a index of thumbnails of images, of images in a directory. I prefer if the image names were under the thumbs. Anything available out there to do it quick? I'd like to print it too, so pdf of jpg should be the final result.
23:34 🔗 db48x http://lmgtfy.com/?q=image+gallery
23:35 🔗 human39 already did.
23:35 🔗 winr4r human39: imagemagick's montage
23:35 🔗 winr4r i believe, IM definitely has something to do that
23:37 🔗 human39 thats it!
23:37 🔗 human39 that should work, at least
23:37 🔗 human39 thanks!
23:38 🔗 winr4r :)
