[04:03] SketchCow: It'd be possible to listen to it all! [04:03] yeah if you play them all at the same time [04:04] derive derive derive [04:04] WORK HARDER ROBOTS [04:04] NO HOLIDAYS [04:05] It's not nice to talk about Chinese people like that. :( [04:05] hey what [04:05] don't drink and derive [04:06] i'm talkin bout http://www.us.archive.org/log_show.php?task_id=91939707 [04:07] Man, the more links I click here, the more I feel I need to sit down and study IA's infra. It looks fascinating. [04:11] pity they don't talk about it publicly [04:16] Ahh...so there's no IA primer or anything written about it? [04:16] nope [04:16] Sadness. [04:16] there are however in here some people who can fill you in [04:16] ...Are they hiring sysadmins? ;D [04:17] is there a hiring page on the site? I'd check there. [04:18] Heh, I was (kind of) joking. I do want to stay put for a little longer. [04:26] There's a jobs page that perpetually says they're hiring [04:26] but atm, I don't think so [04:26] worth asking [04:26] Wyatt|Wor: There's not a "primer" per se, but if you have questions, both Jason and I can answer them [04:27] (as long as it's not something secret) [04:27] ha [04:27] the secrets [04:27] tell me them [04:27] lol [04:29] 081-851-101: B Caulking Compound (AT-8832) -- Description [04:29] good to know we have instructions for caulking [04:29] Well, I suppose the first question I have is "What parts are secret?" [04:29] that information is secret [04:29] root passwords [04:29] bahahah [04:30] uh, I don't know. [04:30] Anything *I* know isn't secret [04:30] so [04:30] Wyatt|Wor: reminds me of the time I went to Hoover Dam. "Ask me anything, we have no secrets here." "How many people does it take to run the plant?" "Well, that's a secret." [04:30] I don't really know what's secret [04:35] that's what you want us to think [04:51] is SktechCow in? I've got some MobileMe data i was wanting to upload and i don't have an rsync slot [05:16] dcmorton: /query him too [05:16] He's (possibly?) packing for a trip or something [05:24] thanks underscor.. doing now [06:26] SketchCow: Merry Christmas! http://www.archive.org/stream/bellsystem_BSP_000-000-002#page/n0/mode/2up [06:31] something, either in the book or in my scanner, is crooked [08:11] huh [08:11] the reader didn't open for me [08:12] * chronomex commits tabicide [08:12] it's still deriving, it seems to be up and down in that respect [08:15] derive *just* finished, it should stream nicely now [08:16] hrm. why is it dark. [08:17] maybe it's because the collection is dark? [08:18] underscor: give me a hand sometime? [08:18] it's not dark, just restricted... [08:18] the ia reader gets really unhappy [08:19] the ia reader is understandably unhappy, it can't get any of its images [08:19] hung ff until it said the script was taking a long time and asked if i wanted to stop it [08:20] i can see the item details page and links to the formats [08:20] yeah [08:21] and i can see the directory of files on ia600805 [08:22] correct, that's the state that all my items are currently in. [08:22] I don't know whether that's inherent to the collection or to the items themselves [08:27] Oh, looks like the last 32GB of my Splinder finished rsyncing. I _believe_ that is everything, then. [08:49] And what, we have a month left to make sure it's all there? [08:49] Sweetness, to be sure. [09:45] Yes, a month. And it's not so much. [09:45] Better than what we've had in the past. [09:45] If Sketch.Cow has to check everything and download all missing users (tens of thousands, probably), considering that the biggest ones can take weeks... [09:46] Perhaps someone should start downloading the biggest users we know that failed. I don't remember who took care of mine. [09:46] We can, to some extent, throw a bunch of those back in the tracker, no? [09:52] Yes, I think we should. [09:56] chronomex, if I try to download the DjVu, I can only a 3.9 KB file [09:57] Nemo_bis: yeah. it seems to have made the thing private. [09:57] chronomex, is this the effect of Rights-tag: proprietary [09:57] no, that is my thing completely [09:58] where is this metadata documented btw? [09:58] ah [09:58] most of this metadata is mine own [09:59] "The item is not available due to issues with the item's content." [16:47] chronomex: The collection is access-restricted, so by default, items created within it are "dark" [16:47] I assume you want this specific one lightened? [18:09] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJIuYgIvKsc [18:51] <_spike_> hello archive team [18:51] <_spike_> just read an article about you [18:51] MIT Tech Review? [18:52] <_spike_> yup, emailed to me by a friend who knew my interest in the ghosts of the internets [18:53] Awesome, welcome! [18:53] <_spike_> i'm joining you via a server i've had an account on since 1993 or so...always wondered when it would just up and disappear. [18:54] hehe [18:57] <_spike_> actually, the administrator lost all data on the server back in '95 or so. it was my first hard lesson in not trusting my irreplaceable data to someone else. [18:58] <_spike_> anyway -- it's a cool thing you're doing. hope you get and keep the proper support. [18:59] thanks [19:00] <_spike_> i have a TI 99/4a that is getting packaged and shipped to a young collector of old computers today. i've been hauling it around for years and find that i would rather it be admired than stuck in a storage unit. [19:00] <_spike_> where it's certainly doing me no good :-) [19:01] <_spike_> i also want to check out this bbs documentary mentioned in the article. i grew up on BBSs. still stay in touch with all my favorite sysops from back in those days :-) [19:01] <_spike_> does anyone know where i can find it? [19:02] http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/ [19:02] <_spike_> i was pretty much the only girl on the texas BBS scene in the mid '90s. it was interesting. [19:02] <_spike_> awesome, thanks joe. [19:07] neat [19:09] <_spike_> thanks for the info. good luck, guys! [19:09] A girl? in #archiveteam? [19:09] unpossible [19:09] THE END IS NIGH [19:09] everyone knows there's no women on the intertubes [19:12] lololol [19:12] OFFTOPIC SIREN [19:12] :D [19:15] * Coderjoe gets the shotgun out and chases down that siren [19:25] woop woop woop off-topic siren [21:16] Back [21:21] Please don't greet women with gape-mouthed incredulity. [21:22] ? [21:42] ^ [22:04] SketchCow: I waited til she left! [22:14] Yeah, good thinking [22:14] What about other girls in the channel [22:14] What about her reading the logs [22:14] It's just not the way to go. [22:15] yeah, underscor, grow the fuck up [22:17] sorry guys. [22:18] so, SketchCow, I don't know how to make the item publicly viewable. I undarked it but it's still not public apparently. [22:18] Yeah, something's not well with that cow. [22:19] Can you have access-restricted true and have undark items? [22:19] I think it's the collection that's forcing things to be dark. [22:19] I don't think you can [22:19] alas [22:19] You have to have the collection not access-restricted, and then dark or noindex the items you want public [22:19] don't want public* [22:20] noindex items are downloadable but not search-engined, correct? [22:20] yes [22:20] so you need a direct link to them [22:20] I think that's the way to go. I'll discuss that with the guys in charge. [22:21] Cool :) [22:56] Anyone know how long it takes to transfer a domain? [22:57] Not really related to archiveteam, but less than a week [22:57] ok, sorry for the randomness :p [23:01] PatC: one to ten days, usually 5 [23:02] chronomex, sounds good [23:04] I trying to slam through the remaining pieces of arcade manuals. [23:47] This guy gave me 150 descriptions. [23:47] man. [23:51] Anyone here self-teach themselves python recently to the point of being productive with it? I started learning recently, just not a lot of good, concise resources out there [23:52] figure there's a few self-taught python people in here :) [23:56] Jofo: LPTHW was my main tool [23:57] can't say I've come across this yet [23:57] ty, I'll take a look at it [23:57] I did 2 problems on euler project and got to the third and was quickly over my head haha [23:58] http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ [23:59] yeah, googled it already! looks pretty damn close to what I want [23:59] that is, python programming without a ton of the compsci background. compsci is good, but I'm not really looking to program intricate things
