53 CD-ROMs about to dead drop. |

I have a program called bchunk that converts a .bin/.cue to an .iso |
12:32
🔗
|
SketchCow |
About to run it on all these poor things. |
12:39
🔗
|
SketchCow |
And after that, assuming it works, I'd like us to go through the cdrom collection and find all bin/cue and I can write something that grabs the bin/cue, makes an iso, and uploads the iso. |
12:55
🔗
|
norbert79 |
SketchCow: Are you sure converting them to ISO insteads of MDF is a good choice? ISO is for one tracked images only, what if they have more tracks? |
12:57
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Then it makes more. |
12:58
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Regardless, the reason to convert them to .iso (AS WELL, I include the original .bin/cue) is that the archive.org viewer works with iso. |
12:58
🔗
|
SketchCow |
I have both the original AND the convert. |

underscor: any chance of using lsar/unar instead of 7z? there are currently a lot of archives that confuse it for one reason or another |

and they understand .bin without needing all this tomfoolery |
15:48

SketchCow |
I asked about this. There was a Reason. |
15:48

|
SketchCow |
It was mostly related to not shaking up the poor cluster of machines to do this new thing. |
15:48

SketchCow |
Until, I guess, a more powerful set happens AND has an opportunity to update. |
16:02

Yeah, basically what SketchCow said. Adding things to the workers won't happen until we roll out a new set |

Bascially Steve Jobs made Murdoch fall in love with the iPad, convinced it it'd save the business model of newspapers. It didn't. |
21:38

|

But Murdoch hired some of the smartest writers and locked their content up so almost nobody was able to read it |
21:38

yup |

|

It'd be a shitty process; probably involve people with iPads subscribing or using the week free trial, grabbing as much of the backlog as possible, and sharing as many article links per issue as they could to an email address (or set of email accounts) that we could use to get the links to the stories and scrape them |
