[00:18] OK, time to shove a BUNCH of stuff into archive.org [00:26] :o [00:32] While trying to finally watch a few things [00:32] I'm trying Speed Racer [00:32] Kind of tough [00:32] Probably giving up for now [00:33] Oh yeah, wiki [00:33] bam, 20k [00:33] Let me go set that up [00:33] (not looking forward to order fulfillment either!0 [00:34] All right, that's another thing to have me stop thinking about [01:05] Here we go, CD-ROMs jamming up by the handfuls [01:15] God, some of these are stored so bad [01:49] SketchCow, don't stress yourself out too bad man [04:08] Hilarious is uploading gigs of cd-roms and not making a dent [04:13] man [04:13] spitting through backups from years ago, extreme nostalgia [04:30] http://archive.org/details/cdrom-secret-service-48a [04:30] Uploading tons of these. [04:31] I've still got some more sega saturn demo discs to go through [04:32] SketchCow: google thinks "secret service magazine" was a 1913 publication [04:32] which iirc is before cds came out [04:32] I mean, um, unless you have other info [04:32] http://www.famhist.us/2011/07/28/secret-service-magazine-15-may-1903/ [04:33] It's the name of it, it's a polish computer magazine or something. [04:33] ah [04:33] Even comes with pretty scanned discs! [04:33] whee [04:43] Sadly, I have to do these somewhat manually. [04:43] But they're coming out nice, and it's relaxing. [04:43] I'm heading down to DC on Sunday, if anyone's there [04:45] anyone know where I can get old wrestling archives? [04:46] anyone know where I can get old wrestling archives? [04:47] http://pwa.wrestlingx.net/ [04:49] i need a couple specific episodes off wwf superstars 1992 [04:51] We're not going to be much help here, I'm sorry. [04:51] I'd hit up wrestling forums to see if there's ways to get access. [04:56] Forgive my off-topic, but happy archivers are good archivers. The Humble Bundle is a really good bargain that has unlocked several major games for a good price. http://t.co/GDCbwIvc [05:15] +1000 [05:15] LIMBO and Super Meat Boy are easily worth $100 :) [05:21] It's worth it for the soundtracks, as is the Game Music Bundle [05:21] Hooray for lossless [05:40] 7. The defenses of insanity, public authority and alibi have not been raised [05:40] in this case. [05:43] Hm? [05:48] Does anyone think that a small video series based around digging through Geocities for "archival-worthy" stories is a good idea? [05:49] Sort of a highlight reel of Geocities? Absolutely [05:50] that would be very cool [05:50] shaqfu I was thinking more along the lines of someone "browsing" at random through the Geocities archive [05:50] Attempting to find "good stories" [05:50] I'm not sure how to describe it [05:51] BlueMaxim: Like, StumbleUpon for Geocities, and filming your adventures? [05:51] shaqfu: something like that, yes, except without the "random" element, just picking out random subdirs and seeing what I find [05:52] Something like a video diary [05:52] Gotcha. I think focusing more on interesting things, vs. filming random stuff, would be better [05:53] Although, if you feel you can make a random walk interesting via supplying context, go for it [05:53] I can agree with that, but finding a random heartwarming story out of nowhere would be a bit more heartwarming [05:53] find interesting things in Geocities and try to hunt down the original authors [05:53] I'm just afraid that you'll end up with a lot of footage of chaff [05:53] shaqfu creative editing would solve that [05:54] a Where Are They Now or links-to-the-past sort of deal [05:54] yipdw if that was even possible that would be awesome :P [05:54] or the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are [05:54] Why wouldn't it be possible? [05:54] produce a pilot, get a Kickstarter project for more [05:54] money that is [05:54] Find an interesting page, see what you can dig up, contact anyone involved [05:55] Well here's the thing, I'm in Australia, it would be expensive just to CALL someone over there [05:55] email works as a start [05:55] Email, Internet calling, etc [05:55] Hmm, good point [05:55] skype is pretty cheap [05:56] Focus on .au folk and do it cheaply ;) [05:56] I mean, if the only way they'll talk is over phone (and who does that, I don't know) then you can establish a reason to do so beforehand [05:56] Fair enough [05:56] You'd have to find their number to start, which would involve lots of searching [05:57] I think that sort of cyberspace-to-meatspace (forgive the terms) work puts all this archival stuff into a more comprehensible, concrete context [05:57] also it is very cool [05:58] also SketchCow does it a lot [05:58] As evidenced by the Defcon 19 video [05:58] yes [05:58] and others [05:58] That "construction worker gif" story is something I'd aim to recreate but with other stories [05:58] If you know what I'm getting at [05:58] yeah [05:58] no, I think it's a good idea [05:58] It's absolutely worth pursuing [05:59] there's still a lot of people who don't get it [05:59] Bringing out the human side, so to speak, is always worthwhile [05:59] hell, I admittedly still have trouble explaining why we downloaded 465 GB of fanfiction [05:59] "Geocities? who cares? good riddance!" [06:00] Imagine if I made a movie out of this, a full length movie about hunting down random people and telling their stories through the medium of archived Data [06:00] yipdw: fanfiction.net? [06:00] should probably download the forum data someday [06:00] ARCHIVETEAM 2013 [06:00] shaqfu: yeah [06:00] we got that [06:00] well, a snapshot [06:00] Wow, is fanfiction.net really 600GB? [06:00] I'm sure there's more now [06:00] ...500GB [06:00] BlueMaxim: well, there's a lot of HTML and avatar images in it [06:00] but yes [06:00] yipdw: I think it depends on interests. Whenever I mention FilePlanet to gamer friends they tend to get excited [06:00] Oh, so if one was to cut the fat it would probably be a lot smaller [06:00] it's pretty massive [06:00] well [06:00] it's not fat [06:01] Well I was comparing it to fat on a piece of meat [06:01] Probably a bad example [06:01] you can load any of the fanfiction WARCs into e.g. wayback and see it as it appeared when it was fetched [06:01] and you need all of it for that to occur [06:01] "SHIT SHIT SHIT! I didn't want anyone to know I wrote furry self-insertion star trek star wars incest bondage fanfiction! DELETE IT!" [06:01] lololol [06:01] forgot slash [06:02] shaqfu: probably, but I'm still having trouble explaining fanfiction.net [06:02] I mean, fanfiction *authors* do not want it archived [06:02] (partially due to what Coderjoe said) [06:02] Because of reasons Coderjoe outlined? :P [06:02] Hah [06:02] people involved in the study of fanworks *do* want it archived but [06:02] yeah [06:03] Coderjoe: hot [06:03] anyway, yeah [06:03] a video series like that would be pretty cool [06:04] If I do go ahead with it I would require a lot of help from all of you [06:05] I mean, the most advanced video I've ever edited is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD2TyIHTiLU [06:05] 'course; can't go wrong with good AT press :) [06:06] It'd be worth talking with SketchCow about finding people, getting interviews, making a good story, etc [06:06] I agree [06:06] Is that your voice? [06:07] I see no, it's someone else. [06:07] No, it's not. [06:07] Sorry to disappoint. [06:07] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGq4kVcVz9U < this is my voice. [06:09] I understand that my voice may not be the best for the video. [06:11] It may be worthwhile to do it text/images, so you can focus more on getting stuff together and less on editing [06:12] I'm not 100% sure how much I like not having audio commentary [06:13] Having a human voice in the background sort of gives a person to relate to [06:14] Blech; can't tarview the Geocities .7zs, and don't have space to grab it [06:17] http://www.reocities.com/TimesSquare/2738/ [06:17] That might make a good story [06:19] Still married as of 9/2011 - good for them [06:19] That is perfect [06:21] Looks like they had a UO wedding, too [06:22] burp [06:22] SketchCow, do you think it's a good idea? [06:56] invest in a tripod, you should be fine [06:56] or, get a friend [07:01] http://www.indiana.edu/~video/stream/launchflash.html?format=MP4&folder=vic&filename=C4L2011_session_3b_20110209.mp4 [07:01] On topic, archiving stuff. [07:01] Apparently at 66:00, Mark M. talks about archiving bits [07:02] Warning: Shitty player [07:02] Also: Bought a clicker [07:02] OH MY GOD BEST THING EVER [07:02] It's going to push my presentations into the stratosphere [07:03] k-rad [07:03] http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/presenter/professional-presenter-r800 [07:03] I love this thing [07:03] The ironic point is I didn't want the laser [07:04] But from up to 100 feet away, I can make slides change [07:04] This means I can walk through the entire stage and destroy lives [07:04] Anyway, seriously, people, look at 65:00 onward [07:14] dem sideburns [07:16] does anyone have any idea what i might be doing wrong as archiveteam-warrior virtual machine doesn't obey speed limits set in startup menu (i've set 400KB/s and it's sitting at 900 KB/s atm) [07:17] primus_: that only applies to upload iirc [07:17] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826139017 I have one of these, it's like a wiimote for your pc [07:17] I love it [07:17] ah, ok, thank you for the answer [07:18] (actually I have one series older) [07:18] http://images.highspeedbackbone.net/skuimages/large/Gyration-GyrotransportPro-G.jpg [15:04] Ops, please.

[16:34] Huh, same spambot just hit a couple of channels over at esper as well [16:34] At least they had the good sense to name the bot well [17:28] Anything else needing my attention before I head to NYC? [17:36] great news, your VB6 apps will still work on Windows 8 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/ms788708.aspx [17:40] Yeah, thanks for the relevant information. [18:23] DrainLbry: OH THANK GOD [19:25] you laugh but we're still shipping vb6 apps :( [23:31] http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/09/psa-some-meebo-services-shutting-down-starting-next-week/ [23:35] add meebo to the walking dead [23:37] Google makes me sigh with all the buying web services to shutter them. [23:38] ya really [23:39] The Meebo Bar was kind of annoying... But The Meebo Messenger was neat. [23:39] brought all kinds of weirdos into irc, too [23:40] How do you mean? [23:40] meebo made it easy to do an irc driveby [23:40] oh [23:40] we should start a targeted campaign for google to talent-hire all the browser toolbar people [23:41] haha, I see what you did there [23:42] Yeah!... then google toolbar would be awesome (that's the ticket!) [23:43] er, no, I meant website bars, like wibiya [23:44] oh good fucking lord, that shit [23:49] I thought you meant browser toolbars, and that they'd buy all of them up, so they'd disappear [23:49] well, you have the second half right [23:50] I want that too [23:51] was the Google Wave waves and such backed up [23:51] were* [23:51] Alright, back on topic: Is there anything to grab @ meebo? [23:51] I've never heard of meebo before
