21:39 🔗 alard Hi. Anyone wants to help by testing this: https://github.com/alard/warc-proxy ?
21:39 🔗 alard It's a first attempt to make WARC files more usable.
21:42 🔗 alard Any suggestions, ideas are welcome, of course.
21:43 🔗 ersi ooh, awesome effort mate
21:47 🔗 ersi alard: Works awesomely for me
21:47 🔗 ersi I'm able to browse around that warc just fine
21:48 🔗 ersi and I'm running python 2.6.5 on Ubuntu 10.04 :]
21:50 🔗 chronomex alard: sweet.
21:51 🔗 chronomex if you're up to speed with warc (I'm not ...), an idea I've been kicking around is a proxy that dumps everything to .warc
21:51 🔗 DrainLbry that's a damned cool idea
21:51 🔗 DrainLbry "what WAS that website?"
21:51 🔗 chronomex you could combine the two, such that you cruise a .warc file and missing resources get loaded live and dumped into another warc
21:51 🔗 chronomex yeah, why not save everything!
21:54 🔗 LordNlptp i wish google left their 15th anniversary search thing up
21:54 🔗 LordNlptp that was really handy

21:59 🔗 nitro2k01 Buth 15th anniversary?
21:59 🔗 nitro2k01 *But
21:59 🔗 LordNlptp er maybe 10th anniversary, i forget
21:59 🔗 LordNlptp it was a few years ago
21:59 🔗 LordNlptp and was really useful
22:00 🔗 nitro2k01 10th, that's more like it
22:00 🔗 LordNlptp it searched an 7 or 8 year old copy of the google db and showed sites linked to archive.org nearest the index date
22:00 🔗 LordNlptp was really REALLY handy
22:00 🔗 DrainLbry was it this thing? http://www.google.com/search2001.html
22:00 🔗 chronomex yep
22:00 🔗 LordNlptp yes that thing
