02:04 🔗 WiK evening
03:21 🔗 SketchCow What up, gang
03:23 🔗 * winr4r salutes SketchCow
04:37 🔗 SketchCow It's pretty surreal to be in an e-mail chain which has the phrase "I asked Marissa to have us remove the robots.txt from altavista.com and she approved."
04:39 🔗 SketchCow I just realized the other person in the e-mail chain was the founder of Altavista.
04:40 🔗 SketchCow Niiice.
04:41 🔗 BlueMaxim ...well.
04:41 🔗 BlueMaxim That's something I never expected.
04:41 🔗 BlueMaxim We backing up Altavista now?
04:46 🔗 SketchCow No, there's nothing to back up
04:48 🔗 SketchCow And frankly, archive.org has AMAZING backups of altavista.
04:48 🔗 SketchCow Going back to 1996.
04:50 🔗 BlueMaxim Well our job is already done. Go team!
04:52 🔗 SketchCow Yeah
04:54 🔗 BlueMax sorry. So what's going on around here
05:10 🔗 arrith1 nice
05:57 🔗 godane starting to upload HD Nation 2010 episodes
09:18 🔗 SmileyG SketchCow: you ping'ed?
12:38 🔗 WiK morn
12:50 🔗 antomatic helloo
13:17 🔗 antomatic super-idle thought:
13:17 🔗 antomatic how about archiving publicly-linked dropbox files?
13:17 🔗 antomatic actually it doesn't sound like as much of a good idea now I've said it.
13:18 🔗 antomatic disregard. :)
13:18 🔗 ivan` why not?
13:18 🔗 GLaDOS That would be a lot.
13:18 🔗 ivan` they seem likely to get moved around or deleted
13:18 🔗 ivan` well, it'd be mostly good stuff
13:18 🔗 antomatic that was what I was thinking, ivan - on the basis that they're so likely to be ephemeral and not properly looked after or curated, liable to deletion on a whim, etc.
13:22 🔗 ivan` in a few days I could grep my 200GB of hrefs for them
13:22 🔗 ivan` does dropbox provide file listings?
13:23 🔗 antomatic I don't think so - I imagine that you could only really get the links from places where people might choose to post them
13:23 🔗 antomatic .. wherever on the internet that might be ..
13:24 🔗 ivan` https://www.google.com/search?q=site:dl.dropbox.com&hl=en&gbv=1&tbs=li:1&filter=0 ;)
13:25 🔗 ivan` hopefully IA will dump all of their URLs too
13:27 🔗 antomatic nice :)
13:34 🔗 ivan` I bet pages like https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8004067/index.html are likely to contain links into dl.dropbox.com
13:39 🔗 antomatic They do if the user has put an index.html page there - otherwise you get a 404
13:39 🔗 ivan` https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=generated "using dropbox-index"
13:40 🔗 ivan` er, https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=generated%20%22using%20dropbox-index%22
13:41 🔗 antomatic interesting
13:48 🔗 ersi antomatic: It's doable and I don't think it's stupid (Re public dropbox links)
13:51 🔗 godane i wonder if i could get a collection that i can make sub-collection in
13:52 🔗 godane i want one for revision3 and TWiT
13:53 🔗 godane this is way if i need to make a collection for another show i uploading to one of those two i can
21:34 🔗 Coderjoe *sigh*
21:34 🔗 Coderjoe I've been waiting for 12 hours for these two formspringers to finish so the warrior can cleanly shut down
21:35 🔗 Coderjoe so I can do system maintenance
