[00:12] flaushy: great news [09:33] Well, my program no longer downloads duplicate newsgroup messages... although it still downloads all the headers to determine if they're duplicates or not in the first place... so that's half the bandwidth saved, at any rate [09:47] goodf job :) [09:50] I just wish I'd made it back when I was a teenager and newsgroups were still in heavy use... but I guess back then I didn't have the hard drive space! [09:51] ah to be young [09:51] I wouldn't go back [09:58] Oh, I wouldn't either. I just wish I'd had hindsight then. :) [10:02] Fresh from #archiveteam-twitter: http://pastebin.com/T0yfYpJg [10:03] "We are making some big changes, including the removal of the private messaging, groups, forum and chat." [10:03] "Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that ALL pictures will be re-uploaded to the new website." [10:03] In other words, "Oh crap, our network connection corrupted all pictures and we couldn't save them. sry lol" [10:05] "hmm, these database schemas don't quite work together [10:06] DROP ALL THE THINGS. [10:15] "Please bare with us". I'd consider it a typo, but hey - club kids and all... [11:31] Aaand it now works with authenticated NNTP connections. news.eternal-september.org, here I come! :D [11:36] Woo, progress! [11:47] Once it allows wildcards in group names, I'll be content for a bit... [11:50] heh - you say that now... but can you resist the powerful allure of just-one-more-feature? ;) [11:51] ZoeB, Why are you making this program? When I do mailing list archives I grab the monthly dumps to save time and effort [13:19] website 508ing for anyone else? [13:22] nm, back up [13:33] omf_: initally, I was trying to grab monthly dumps of a mailing list, but they stopped making them. I subscribed to the mailing list and was going to use pine to do the dumping, but got frustrated trying to configure the thing, so wrote a python script to do it instead. [13:34] Then, uh, featurecreep. [13:38] What mailing list was this [13:43] http://machines.hyperreal.org/Analogue-Heaven/ [13:44] I've got all the monthly dumps I could find [13:44] Also of several related mailing lists [13:44] Synth DIY, etc [13:50] Where's my hugs [13:51] * GLaDOS hgus SketchCow [13:51] fuck [13:52] did you get your LoC submission in at 4.59, SketchCow? I feel unable to offer hugs until I know the outcome ;) [13:55] Ha ha [13:55] Look, not only did I do that, but people submitted an hour later [13:55] Paper tigers, all [13:56] haha. nice ;) [14:17] Hi [14:17] Is there a way for me to have the Warrior free up some disk space? :) [14:17] FOS functionality #2 returned: The DNA Lounge collection updates automatically again [15:56] Anything up? I need to get back to more stuff [15:57] streetfiles is closed, nwnet.co.uk is closed [15:57] comicsalliance is still downloading [20:03] how much of posterous got saved? [20:04] ivan`: Sst. We're still downloading. See #preposterus [20:04] But we have a large part of it. [20:04] but posterous is no longer serving content [20:05] oh, I was in #preposterous the whole time, thinking nobody cared [20:05] good channel naming ;) [20:13] Is there anyone who is knowledgeable about 3d scanning who would like to chat about backing up physical artifacts. There is a museum here in MA that is closing down and I may have an opportunity to scan things before they disappear. [20:16] cool [21:46] wow, but hmmm [21:49] This is the family museum that's being bought out, right [21:50] The one people wanted to stay open but the board has said no [22:19] * DFJustin awaits "thing" mediatype at IA [22:20] time to add more metadata while grinding on this game and watching eureka. [22:20] yey multitasking [22:20] Oh and playing a game on my phone [22:20] and compiling libreoffice.... (tho that doesn't require much input from me).
