[00:14] okay gang, I have 11 gigabytes of formerly open-source symbian that's been chilling on my disk since december 2010 [00:16] what shall I do with it [00:25] We all know [00:26] I shove it into the archive [00:28] well, lucky you, it looks like I've already preened it and it's on a high-bandwidth pipe [00:28] * chronomex makes item [00:40] Gotta fill this shit up [00:41] SketchCow: does IA support subdirectories in items? [00:41] It does, but it doesn't do good deriving reliably. [00:41] okay [00:41] I'll stick with flat names then [00:41] I've been shoving hundreds of Synth manuals up [00:42] Helper script, of course. [00:42] But I have to oversee each injection [00:43] nothing you can't do with beer in hand [00:44] or Red Bull, yeah [00:44] oh right, red bull [00:44] I had a coworker ask if I was a teetotaler the other day [00:45] because I'm not a binge drinker like every other hacker [00:45] 112 left to do [00:55] SketchCow: can you please move http://archive.org/details/SymbianOpenSource into the 'software' collection? [00:56] Im watching Crhis Poole panel on ROLFCon and SketchCow just pass in front of the camera [01:00] Yeah [01:00] hmm, someone already pointed that out in the comments [01:00] its not just me [01:00] amazing [01:00] you are famous [01:00] http://archive.org/details/SymbianOpenSource [01:00] Now in new collection. [01:01] I'm famous, in a specific way. [01:01] rad, thanks. [01:01] yeah, with people that watch panels about internet culture [01:02] Among other things, yes. [01:02] of course [01:02] with people that care with computer culture [01:02] preservation [01:02] the list goes on [01:03] with noone [01:05] yes [01:05] the most important kind of fame [01:05] if I know you, thats a good thing [01:06] Wozniak recognizes me by sight now, as does Ze Frank [01:06] I don't need much else [01:06] Wozniak alone would make a life of work worth it [01:07] silly deriver, just because it's xml doesn't necessarily mean that it's metadata [01:16] Someone actually grabbed tons of open source repositories, including that one. [01:16] but the more the merrier and I doubt he went to the support materials like you did. [01:17] SketchCow: Are you famous among archivers, now? I know you got a mention in some Library of Congress e-mail. [01:18] Paradoks: Depends [01:18] Digital archivists, yeah; everyone else, not really [01:43] Depends. [01:43] You're talking about a relatively boring, staid field so someone being a fucker who also uses terms like Provenance and Dark Archives is going to get some amusement. [01:44] 21st century librarians are still librarians [01:45] God knows the field needs more fuckers, now than ever [01:46] God knows the field needs more fuckers, now than ever < I thought this was every profession [01:46] Thankfully, the idea of fuckery is gaining support - a lot of people are increasingly unhappy with non-fuckery [01:49] I'll stop here before I end in a rant about library politics :( [01:49] okay [01:51] But no, SketchCow is not well-known amongst archivists, since they tend to keep their sights local [01:52] He deserves attention though, for everything he's done. [01:59] fwiw, the LoC's digital archives newsletter had a short interview with him recently. [02:01] But yeah, like shaqfu said, a lot of traditional archivists have an irritating tendency to be elitist about the term "archives". [02:06] those archivists [02:06] what they archive [02:07] because anything from the last 2 decades must be digital [02:07] noone: Everything from the dawn of time to now that's on paper [02:08] but that is already archive, in some way [02:08] you dont find 1800s newspapers outside some kind of archive already [02:08] they must be archiving newer things [02:09] that are digital only [02:09] Yes, poorly [02:09] We are, or at least most larger archives are, but tbh most of us are kind of shit at it. [02:09] And there's still an awful lot coming out still on good ol' fashioned paper [02:09] ^ Very much this [02:09] Which is why many smaller archives have gotten on this far by pretending digital doesn't exist. There's plenty for them to archive on paper at the moment. [02:10] (Especially since there's typically a time gap between when something is created and when it makes its way to an archives.) [02:10] The tidl wave hasn't hit...yet [02:10] We can see it from a moderately-sized hilltop, mind. [02:10] There's about a 30 year gap between creation and archiving, so email is just hitting now [02:11] And people are losing their heads over it [02:11] Keep in mind, email tends to be well-described via plaintext headers, compared to most records [02:12] If you can't deal with email, God help you... [02:12] cf. Sarah's Inbox, which took tens of thousands of pages of PRINTED OUT emails, and reconstructed a workable facsimile from OCR. [02:13] That's a distressingly common solution - print it all out and deal with it then! [02:14] It would be funny if it weren't so worrying. [02:17] sad but true [02:19] Don't worry, my star is rising. [02:19] Let's see how much of it I can use to get things done. [02:19] Proust has come to me and the Internet Archive to ask how they can store things wiht us. [02:19] "Today's agenda: Change world" [02:19] That's a good sign. [02:19] Today's agenda is actually "get interviews ready all this week" [02:23] Actually, today's agenda was previously "set up brother's new TV" [02:23] I got my bro a nice new TV, his tube 19" died [02:23] He went out, and when he was back, I'd re-done the living room with a 42" [02:23] Flatscreen [02:23] It came out of the box internet ready, it's streaming him every episode of every show he's ever liked. [02:23] No issues here [02:23] nice [02:27] you help out a brother [02:27] literally [02:28] http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/167392/sad_but_true_we_cant_prove_when_.php [04:18] Yeah, Frank. [04:34] Psst, you guys can keep a secret, right [04:34] Looks like archive.org might double outgoing bandwidth this summer. [04:34] Shhh. [05:06] o_o_o [05:06] * chronomex shhh's [05:10] I'd love if they doubled s3's capacity, looks like anyhub it's killing it http://s3.us.archive.org:8088/mrtg/networkv2.html [05:12] * BlueMax sews his mouth shut [05:39] There are, in total, 18 anyhub packs. [05:39] We're at 9. [06:04] SketchCow, is Splinder completed? [06:05] You mentioned 20 items and I see 12 perhaps [07:02] You answered your own question [07:09] mind. blown. [08:15] Anyway, so. [08:16] Splinder was still packing when I started the upload. Anyhub had finished. [08:16] So it got a ways along, and then stopped. [08:16] I'm doing one last sanity check, then I am going to continue the splinder upload [08:16] AND remove the unpacked splinder instance. [08:16] Disk space ahoy [08:20] Whee, deleting 460gb of Anyhub [08:34] root@teamarchive-1:/2/SPLINDER/OUTSPLINDER# tar vtf 00000026.tar | wc -l [08:34] Things a busy machine does not like. [08:34] (Final sanity check is to see that it all tails off properly, then go back and remove original.) [08:44] Splinder upload has resumed. [11:45] may have to look into getting a bluyray burner or hard drive today [13:04] uploading episode 144 of crankygeeks [13:06] godane: per gb i think bluray might be cheaper but longetivity is untested afaik [13:06] also speed [14:10] well i finished 125000 129999 [14:10] 76GB tar [14:11] where/how to upload? [15:23] uploading episode 151 of crankygeeks [15:26] S[h]O[r]T: awesome! [15:27] 79G is kinda huge though. would you be willing to tar it in smaller chunks instead? 125000-125999 126000.tar, 126999.tar and so on? that would be nicer for archive.org [15:31] afterwards, either send me http links so i can grab them or upload directly to archive.org (best through http://archive.org/help/abouts3.txt ), see http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Fileplanet for a template. [15:32] everyone interested in downloading gaming files from fileplanet, join [15:32] join #fireplanet [15:40] schbirid - 115000 11999: 3817 files for 71G [15:40] http://www.pics-hosting.com/files/pq2rhujhnq8fjui7n4sn.png :) [15:41] phew, also so big [16:18] Anyhub is uploaded up to the last part, which is uploading. [16:18] Splinder is uploaded to 19 [16:20] in the worst case fileplanet will be 7TB [16:20] i say it will be <4 [16:29] Ooops, one of the Splinder sets was broken. [16:29] Just learned a little lesson. [16:30] SketchCow: I got up to 154 episode of crankygeeks uploaded [16:30] Great. [16:30] its almost there [16:30] its a good thing i got them when i did [16:31] from episode 70 and up i used ipod format [16:31] i think [16:32] i also got episode 147 uploaded [16:32] its missing from crankygeeks.com but was on mevio [16:33] with big summary in rss feed still [16:35] looks like dl.tv is down [16:57] episode 156 of crankygeeks is uploaded [16:57] will be back later to see if can finish it [20:53] uh, http://www.publicbt.com/ back up [20:54] their bz2 shrunk by 5 MB http://archive.org/details/publicbt.com [21:15] Has anybody seen underscor recently? [21:19] 6 days without him here [21:20] * Aranje nods [21:21] I've got people in other places that are starting to get concerned about his absence :/ [21:26] burning my first bluray disc :-D [21:50] Don't be. [21:50] I've been talking to underscor constantly. [21:50] He's quite fine. [21:51] man's got a life? [21:51] Righto [21:51] Just finishing school, you know. [21:52] o_o [21:52] not allowed [21:56] Just saw fileplanet is being shut down - are you guys getting a copy of it before it goes away? [21:58] Yes [21:59] Great - That makes me happy because they have a lot of material not found anywhere else right now [22:00] Well holy crap [22:00] One of the guys just got a 10x speedup of the emulation in jsmess. [22:00] O_O [22:00] that's pretty big [22:09] http://jsmess.textfiles.com/v0.5/ [22:09] It just goes faster now. [22:16] very close to playable [22:17] i'm curious what resulted in this speedup [22:17] He found a draw routine was eating 50% of the CPU slice [22:17] He fixed that. [22:18] Did processing analysis, etc. [22:18] Thinks he can get it to realtime shortly. [22:18] so it was a problem with the mess draw routine rather than emscripten. cool [22:20] Yes [22:20] Well, sort of. [22:20] It was technically emscripten's creation of the draw routine based on what MESS was doing. [22:20] ah [22:26] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QodGtTU69uQ [22:26] lol [22:37] ....and he just got the CPU loop from 40ms a loop to 3. [22:39] sweet [23:53] congrats SketchCow on a very successful year at the Internet Archive- here's to many, many more! [23:54] That's my plan! [23:57] I was planning to upload some new shareware CDs, only to find out none of them are actually shareware CDs- just a pile of generic games
