05:27 🔗 * SketchCow rides around town with the girl you love
05:31 🔗 nitro2k03 HEY! How did you steal my JPGs' hearts?
05:34 🔗 Coderjoe mmm
05:35 🔗 Coderjoe I just read the text of Rick Prelinger's Orphan Works symposium talk... he was doing quite well, until the end..
05:35 🔗 Coderjoe "And finally, when we apply remedies, let's do it homeopathically, in ways that allow us to back off if the solution turns out to be worse than the problem."
05:36 🔗 SketchCow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GgQWKpsKsU
05:38 🔗 shaqfu Coderjoe: Link?
05:39 🔗 Coderjoe https://twitter.com/#!/footage/status/192407962130714624
05:39 🔗 shaqfu Thanks
05:47 🔗 shaqfu The idea of a registry of orphan works strikes me as particularly odd, given the scope of corpus and how works fall orphan *because* there's no claim to register
05:48 🔗 shaqfu And I can't envision any reasonable solution being worse than the current problem, which is "use nothing in case you get hit with six-figure claims"
06:28 🔗 underscor I just watched an interesting TED about how porn is ruining males
06:28 🔗 underscor s/porn/internet porn/
06:29 🔗 underscor and our whole generation is pretty fucked, as far as the generation after ours
06:29 🔗 underscor as far as us creating it*

06:36 🔗 underscor http://www.ted.com/talks/zimchallenge.html
06:36 🔗 underscor Boys are 30 percent more likely than girls to drop out of school. In Canada, five boys drop out for every three girls. Girls outperform boys now at every level, from elementary school to graduate school.
06:48 🔗 Zod__ underscor: not a fan of his "quitting porn cured my cancer" ancedotes
06:48 🔗 underscor heh
07:17 🔗 Coderjoe Zod__: perhaps he also used a homeopathic cancer remedy...
07:23 🔗 Coderjoe underscor: somewhat related: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-A8GvUehq4

14:58 🔗 SketchCow Rachel is co-producer of this documentary.

15:12 🔗 Ymgve "As it turns out, you take it out of its case and wash it in the sink with Joy dish soap. This process makes Jason Scott, software preservationist, cringe."
15:12 🔗 Ymgve haha, nice
15:13 🔗 Ymgve my favourite trick is to manually put pressure on the read head when dumping a disk
15:13 🔗 Ymgve has worked in a few cases
15:18 🔗 kennethre i wonder if freezing floppies works :P
15:22 🔗 SketchCow WHERE IS MY HUG
15:26 🔗 SketchCow Next, an awful lot of friendster.
15:27 🔗 balrog_ Ymgve: why not rubbing alcohol?
15:27 🔗 balrog_ SketchCow: also they didn't fix the Kryoflux reference O_O
15:28 🔗 balrog_ just pointing it out, that's all
15:28 🔗 Ymgve balrog_: rubbing alcohol don't work when there's physical dents in the disk
15:28 🔗 balrog_ Ymgve: then neither will soap and water
15:29 🔗 Ymgve balrog_: but forcing the drive head closer to the surface actually might work
15:30 🔗 Ymgve I don't know why Tony used dish soap
15:30 🔗 Ymgve rubbing alcohol is harsher against the magnetic media, maybe?
15:32 🔗 SketchCow As they say in the brain surgery business: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS
15:32 🔗 SketchCow With the reboot of fortress, I didn't turn on the thing that goes through the mobileme collection and splits it up for later TARring and puts it in the right directory.
15:33 🔗 SketchCow I WONDERED why the drive was at 70 percent.
15:33 🔗 SketchCow Wow, look at it go.
15:33 🔗 SketchCow I know you can't, I'm saying it anyway.
15:34 🔗 SketchCow Imagine you threw a ham-eating machine into a Lake Michigan-sized pile of ham
15:43 🔗 SketchCow OK, the mobileme is chugging along, the mobileme legacy stuff on batcave is going up, and I've begun backfilling friendster.
15:52 🔗 underscor SketchCow: Initial response was moderately favorable, which is *excellent* news
15:52 🔗 underscor :D
16:08 🔗 SketchCow later: underscor floating face down in bellagio fountain while "time to say goodbye" blasting

16:09 🔗 underscor I just got a usb3 interface for this computer
16:09 🔗 underscor fuck it's fast
16:10 🔗 underscor just as fast as eSATA for regular drives
16:10 🔗 underscor and with 100000 less hassle
16:10 🔗 underscor now to buy some of those empty enclosures from the archive
16:10 🔗 underscor SketchCow: are they still selling them? or only to people who want all 700
16:12 🔗 Nemo_bis underscor, how are they like?
16:12 🔗 underscor Nemo_bis: what do you mean?
16:13 🔗 Nemo_bis underscor, what interface, size, PSU etc.
16:13 🔗 underscor ah, they're usb2/3, 3.5", regular wall wart
16:14 🔗 underscor The brain part is easily removable from the box part
16:14 🔗 underscor so if you disconnect the interface "module", you have a perfect horizontal dock
16:17 🔗 underscor alard: what do we do for these?
16:18 🔗 underscor rsync: link_stat "/2/splinder-grab/data/it/^/^E/^EL/^ELISINA^" failed: No such file or directory (2)

16:33 🔗 underscor oh :(
16:33 🔗 Nemo_bis some downloaders uploaded them by hand by fixing the filenames rsync looked for
16:34 🔗 Nemo_bis or renaming the directories with \
16:34 🔗 Nemo_bis this is perhaps what you could do, rename those dirs
17:18 🔗 Angantyr http://www.parodius.com/ shutting down
17:20 🔗 mistym Geeze. That's the end of an era.
17:20 🔗 mistym Thanks for the heads up Angantyr

18:59 🔗 SketchCow Of the entries for the nights, I mean.
19:00 🔗 SketchCow Example: http://archive.org/details/DNALOUNGE-2011-04-16 is a mess.
19:14 🔗 SketchCow Finished.
19:18 🔗 SketchCow http://archive.org/details/DNALOUNGE-2011-04-16 is MUCH nicer now
19:33 🔗 shaqfu Is there an elegant way to point wget at http://*.parodius.com?
19:37 🔗 * SmileyG is interested in how on earth you'd manage that :S
19:38 🔗 SmileyG unless you have a list of subdomains somehow.
19:38 🔗 shaqfu I ended up dumping what was listed on the homepage into a file and grabbing those now
19:39 🔗 shaqfu Feels good to dust off my Solaris box again for something
19:39 🔗 SmileyG bit of bash would work with a list...
19:39 🔗 SmileyG for $x in at file; do wget $x; done :D
19:39 🔗 shaqfu SmileyG: That's built-in to wget
19:40 🔗 SmileyG :o
19:43 🔗 chronomex not only is it built in to wget, but it runs faster if you let wget do its thing
19:50 🔗 shaqfu Is there any reasonable way to check for sites not listed on the front page?
19:51 🔗 DFJustin https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=site%3Aparodius.com
19:51 🔗 DFJustin shit nesdev is on there I forgot about that
19:51 🔗 shaqfu Got it

19:53 🔗 balrog_ also you guys should contact parodius
19:59 🔗 underscor Nemo_bis: pong

20:03 🔗 Nemo_bis underscor, reping
20:03 🔗 underscor Nemo_bis: pong
20:03 🔗 Nemo_bis code.google.com/p/wikiteam/source/browse/trunk/uploader.py

20:11 🔗 Nemo_bis underscor, it's not complete
20:11 🔗 Nemo_bis just a stub
20:11 🔗 underscor oh, yeah, I see that. I thought you were saying there's something specifically he was having trouble with

20:22 🔗 underscor not as bad as http://www.sarahmcculloch.com/luminaryuprise/longest-word.php
20:33 🔗 Nemo_bis underscor, only because MediaWiki has a title length limit I guess
20:34 🔗 Nemo_bis and with proteins it's way too easy; is that protein quoted by Aristophanes too? :)
20:51 🔗 ersi SketchCow: nice pic in Wired, hehe
21:51 🔗 Pronoiac Hi, everybody.
21:51 🔗 Pronoiac I've hit a problem on the MobileMe backup.
21:54 🔗 Pronoiac I'm going to double-check my connection.
22:15 🔗 shaqfu Once I get Parodius' HTTP stuff down, what's the procedure for sending it in?
22:19 🔗 shaqfu rsync somewhere on fos.textfiles.com?
23:08 🔗 godane do you guys have atari 2600 manuals
23:10 🔗 Wyatt|Wor Scanned or hard copy?
23:28 🔗 Pronoiac Is there a good way to report problematic items?
23:34 🔗 Pronoiac Well, it looks like this is being archived, so I'll leave a note here:
23:35 🔗 Pronoiac I'm working on the MobileMe backup, and I found a problematic item, swampyhatto.
23:36 🔗 Pronoiac There's a recursive loop happening with multiple slashes - / -> // -> /// etc.
23:37 🔗 Pronoiac wget would normally avoid re-fetching with timestamping - -N
23:37 🔗 Pronoiac But wget-warc has that option disabled.
23:40 🔗 Pronoiac I think it's disabled to avoid seeking within warc files, but that's not relevant or useful here, with the files all sorted out for mirroring.
