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