00:07 🔗 SketchCow No, you didn't.
00:16 🔗 dashcloud Can I get a slot so I can upload it to you?
00:35 🔗 SketchCow On it.
00:37 🔗 dashcloud thanks
01:16 🔗 SketchCow Blasting some twitter up to the archive.
02:50 🔗 SketchCow Twitter Blasted. http://archive.org/details/twitterstream
03:22 🔗 DrainLbry SketchCow: yeah i'm pandering to you, but as a fellow fitbit user: http://www.fitbit.com/premium/export - $50 to free our data, eh? fuckers.
03:23 🔗 DrainLbry "Your data belongs to you!" ... for an extra one time charge!
03:23 🔗 SketchCow That is the funny.
03:29 🔗 DrainLbry Their ToS is oh so helpful too. "You hereby grant to Fitbit a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, blah blah alh blah information you submit (User-Generated Content)", but then later they explicitly disclaim ownership of the USer Generated Content. Methinks I will make this my personal mission from god to get my stats for free on a constant basis without paying $50
03:31 🔗 DrainLbry whew, there's an API and folks are working on it/have done it.
03:40 🔗 SketchCow There, I punched fitbit
03:43 🔗 DrainLbry well said
03:45 🔗 DrainLbry i haven't tried it, and there's nothing lovelier then moving your data from one closed silo to another, but this looks like the only complete free export via API someone's come up with: http://quantifiedself.com/2011/07/fitbit-google-spreadsheets-awesome/ , also found a mention of libfitbit, which is about accessing the data on the device directly https://github.com/qdot/libfitbit
03:46 🔗 DrainLbry backtrack, ok so google docs isn't a "closed silo" but you get my point

12:39 🔗 chronomex huh?
12:40 🔗 godane but a index of urls would be nice to do first
12:40 🔗 tuankiet Yes
12:40 🔗 chronomex hmmm, I wonder if any of the yahoo usernames we've gathered for other projects will be of use
12:40 🔗 chronomex can't hurt
12:42 🔗 tuankiet May not. This service is only in Vietnam so the database may not corret
12:44 🔗 chronomex is it different from normal yahoo usernames?

13:55 🔗 norbert79 Anyone: If your task would be saving a whole Mediawiki engine based website, how would you do it?
13:57 🔗 alard norbert79: https://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/wiki/NewTutorial ?
13:58 🔗 norbert79 Nice
13:58 🔗 norbert79 I am actually looking for a method making a wiki be displayed within gopher
13:58 🔗 norbert79 so basically replicating it for making it work within gopherd too
13:59 🔗 norbert79 hmm, this might work
15:09 🔗 SketchCow http://contemporary-home-computing.org/1tb/archives/3647
15:10 🔗 SketchCow http://www.merz-akademie.de/lectures/where-are-the-files

16:11 🔗 Deewiant alard: Lua runtime error: dailybooth.lua:8: attempt to index local 'f' (a nil value).
16:12 🔗 Deewiant (ID 613221: 'LucceMulrine')
16:16 🔗 SketchCow So, fundraising.
16:16 🔗 SketchCow I will be making an archive team Holiday Hard Drive video to push people to donate.
16:18 🔗 ersi SketchCow: I'd rub Jeff Atwood a second time for a pretty please
16:20 🔗 Deewiant alard: Happened another time now with a different user (ID 624462: 'carlit0x'), I guess it's due to getting rate limited? A somewhat worrying message even if it isn't fatal
16:22 🔗 ersi Deewiant: #dailybooth
16:29 🔗 balrog_ dailybooth.com is returning 504
16:33 🔗 ersi balrog_: #dailybooth
17:05 🔗 alard The f (a nil value) error usually indicates that there's no file to read (if there's a HTTP error, for instance). Not sure if it's a problem.

22:39 🔗 norbert79 SketchCow: Yes, it's a library, well done :))
22:39 🔗 norbert79 Though I wonder if any library considered storing the works digitally too
22:40 🔗 norbert79 like how archive.og does
22:43 🔗 norbert79 it would be nice having real digital librarieslike back in the WAIS systems and Lexis/Nexis
22:45 🔗 norbert79 I mean accessible to anyone
