04:36 🔗 SketchCow http://archive.org/details/archiveteam_weblognl_weblognl-20130306204907 the fun continues!
04:46 🔗 akkuhn random question: has anyone taken a liking to archiving 90s-era encyclopedias on cd-roms? was in a thrift store a month back and noticed for some bizarre reason they had like 5+ different discs. decided to hold off on the purchase until i looked if anything like that was online already. doesn't look like it is. may let my washington's do the talking tomorrow.
04:47 🔗 akkuhn going to get all compton multimedia and grolier multimedia up in here.
04:47 🔗 SketchCow I'm getting ones
04:48 🔗 akkuhn figured that may be the kind of thing that needs to be supresssed in the IA searches, hence why i ask
04:48 🔗 SketchCow http://archive.org/details/cdrom-cdrom-mindscapespaceshuttle
04:48 🔗 akkuhn you know, for when these companies crawl out of the woodwork and fiercly protect their mid-90s encyclopedia copyrights.
04:48 🔗 SketchCow Nah
04:49 🔗 akkuhn alright, will see what i can dig up in my travels then and toss them up there
04:50 🔗 DFJustin I have most all the brands of 90s cd-rom encyclopedias I think
04:50 🔗 DFJustin encarta, grolier, compton, infopedia
04:51 🔗 DFJustin even a canadian one
04:51 🔗 akkuhn they saw mostly yearly releases though, no?
04:51 🔗 DFJustin some of them did
04:51 🔗 akkuhn i know encarta was big on that, dont remember the others
04:51 🔗 DFJustin some of them were kinda one-offs I think
04:52 🔗 akkuhn ah well none the less, will see what i find anyhow. not that expensive of a duplication issue
04:52 🔗 DFJustin might be nice just to have a "cd-rom reference shelf" collection or sth rather than lumping it all in with the shareware
04:53 🔗 DFJustin although sketchcow and I have been working with a fairly generous definition of "shareware"
04:54 🔗 SketchCow the cd archive will likely be split further into subcollections as we go on.
04:54 🔗 akkuhn i've been noticing CDs are the new VHS tapes in the thrift world. they're piling up everywhere, and nobody's buying them.
04:54 🔗 DFJustin I've been checking them whenever I do a thrift shop run lately
05:12 🔗 godane 3d world and twilight collection i know will be need
08:04 🔗 SketchCow The last of the TOSEC sets I had is uploading.
08:04 🔗 SketchCow Commodore Amiga. 33gb
08:07 🔗 Nemo_bis :)
08:36 🔗 SketchCow ....aaand, there it is.
08:36 🔗 SketchCow Now let's see what happens.
08:36 🔗 SketchCow http://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/4084859 (Stanford's collection of 15,000 software programs)
08:46 🔗 BlueMax SketchCow, is it legal to upload those TOSEC sets to Archive.org?
08:47 🔗 SketchCow Explain to me how I answer that question.
08:47 🔗 BlueMax ...you throw me out a window or something, probably.
08:48 🔗 BlueMax I was just thinking in the mindset of "there's probably some copyrighted software in those collections still" but WTF do I know
08:50 🔗 BlueMax also 33GB for the Amiga TOSEC? smaller than I thought it would eb
08:50 🔗 BlueMax be.
08:54 🔗 SketchCow alard: When you wake up, we should revisit some of the other uploaded sites sitting on FOS and get those suckers into IA.
08:54 🔗 godane http://n64kids.com/
09:01 🔗 godane i'm grabing everything e3 2012 in hd
09:01 🔗 SketchCow Excellent.
09:02 🔗 godane i'm trying to grab events that have big files
09:22 🔗 ersi BlueMax BlueMax BlueMax
09:22 🔗 * ersi rolls eyes
09:22 🔗 SketchCow NO DON'T SUMMON HIM
09:23 🔗 ersi bwahaha
09:27 🔗 godane hey BlueMax
09:28 🔗 ersi damn, seems to have worked
09:28 🔗 BlueMax ersi, you paid for the BlueMax summoning charm, what were you expecting
09:29 🔗 ersi apparently
09:29 🔗 ersi Isn't that illegal though?
09:41 🔗 godane so i'm grabing the latest wilkow and glenn beck episodes
09:41 🔗 godane again
09:41 🔗 godane its been 3 days and a snow storm is coming
09:44 🔗 SketchCow Aren't snow storms illegal?
09:45 🔗 chronomex pretty sure glenn beck is illegal
09:47 🔗 ersi BlueMax: Seriously though, when the fuck have we cared about legal issues of downloading things? Never. It's only you
09:48 🔗 ersi Saving shit matter, being a pussy about it doesn't help. You know this answer. Everyone has said the same thing at you fifty times previously for asking the exact same thing
10:08 🔗 godane looks like g4techtv.com lived longer then i thought
10:08 🔗 godane the domain was still working in late 2008
10:21 🔗 BlueMax ersi, it's the "hosting it on Archive.org" side of it I don't like
10:21 🔗 ersi Stop being a pussy
10:21 🔗 ersi Dig out your balls from that giant pussy, man
10:48 🔗 chronomex ersi: you have an @, use it.
10:49 🔗 chronomex if you care that much.
10:51 🔗 BlueMax alright, I get it. I need to learn to be less paranoid.
10:56 🔗 GLaDOS Worst outcome: item goes dark.
10:58 🔗 chronomex worst outcome, someone gets tired of answering the same question and snaps
10:59 🔗 * BlueMax hands chronomex and ersi baseball bats
10:59 🔗 chronomex why thank you
11:02 🔗 BlueMax although to be fair I'm sure there's half a dozen people in here who would probably beat the shit out of me if they ran into me on the street, Jason included
11:02 🔗 chronomex hah
11:02 🔗 SketchCow No way
11:02 🔗 SketchCow that's illegal
11:03 🔗 chronomex I'm sure you could abuse a law into covering it
11:04 🔗 BlueMax "He deserved it officer"
11:06 🔗 Smiley hmm
20:18 🔗 alard SketchCow: Hello.
20:46 🔗 SketchCow Hey, man.
20:46 🔗 SketchCow OK, weblog.nl is now in the system. Unfortunately, blocked by robots.txt
20:46 🔗 SketchCow I'll put a call out
20:46 🔗 balrog_ http://weblog.nl/robots.txt :(
20:46 🔗 SketchCow Yeah
20:46 🔗 balrog_ seems they added that after they went down
20:47 🔗 SketchCow Someone should contact them about this
20:47 🔗 balrog_ probably to prevent google indexing etc
20:47 🔗 SketchCow Right
21:01 🔗 alard http://archive.org/details/archiveteam_weblognl-index
21:24 🔗 bsmith093 /join#aohell
21:26 🔗 alard underscor: (If you have a bit of time.) It would be nice if you could push this update to warctozip.archive.org: https://github.com/alard/warctozip-service/commit/14fbf6bd9f44f8ae
21:29 🔗 alard SketchCow: Anything else you want to ask about things sitting on FOS before I disappear again?
21:50 🔗 SketchCow Oops, yes.
21:51 🔗 SketchCow cityofheroes github dailybooth github-2 punchfork-date punchfork-user xanga
21:51 🔗 SketchCow Which of those can I upload?
21:53 🔗 Lord_Nigh alard disappeared already?
21:54 🔗 alard No, not yet.
21:55 🔗 Lord_Nigh ok
21:55 🔗 alard SketchCow: cityofheroes is finished. github-1 and github-2 are also done (but I think that github-2 is enough). punchfork: not finished. xanga: in progress, but paused, so you could upload everything there is now. dailybooth: upload.
21:55 🔗 alard SketchCow: But haven't you already uploaded some of those?
21:56 🔗 alard http://archive.org/details/github-downloads-2012-12
21:57 🔗 alard http://archive.org/search.php?query=dailybooth (but maybe that's just what was uploaded through S[h]O[r]T's upload server)
21:57 🔗 alard http://archive.org/details/archiveteam-city-of-heroes-main
22:38 🔗 SketchCow That's what we're coordinating here.
22:39 🔗 SketchCow Some might be up, but I wanted to coordinate. I'll work on the ones we mentioned.
