[00:26] Total wall clock time: 11d 0h 8m 19s [00:44] Not shabby [00:44] Whatcha got? [02:04] SCANNING AHOY [02:05] So after this not TOO much of a fiasco fiasco with the cassettes, I'm going to start scanning CD-ROM covers of CD-ROMs I ripped and put on archive.org. [02:05] Then I'm going to contribute these CDs/DVDs to the Strong Museum [02:05] And get them the hell out of my house. [02:07] what happened with the cassettes? [02:07] oh never mind, looked at twitter [02:21] SketchCow: Sounds like a plan. [02:23] SketchCow: so the Strong Museum will inherit the physical edition of the shareware collection? [03:52] hm [03:52] looking around the archive team wiki, my lesson for today was "don't host dumps on mediafire" [04:59] I don't know. [05:00] They'll certainly get the game cover CDs. [05:21] I've done a scan of how I think I'll approach these items in the future. [05:32] http://archive.org/details/CD_Gamer_Issue_103_Disc_1_PCG103A1201_December_2001 [05:40] woohoo, you don't fuck around with the scans [05:40] nice res you have thar [05:52] Well, I'm trying to get a grip on the situation. [05:52] Especially if these are leaving me and going to an archive. [05:58] * winr4r nods [06:03] I am trying to understand why it was thought necessary to remove a bunch of information from the Posterous wiki page just because the project is wrapping up. I am under the assumption that there really is no reason to delete stuff off the wiki and correct me if I am wrong. Here is the diff, it is pretty big http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Posterous&action=historysubmit&diff=17211&oldid=17089 [06:05] hmm s3 just shat a brick [06:05] DFJustin, what error did it throw at you? [06:10] omf_: it got moved onto a subpage [06:10] it did not get "deleted" [06:11] which is linked from the edit summary [06:11] And that helps because? [06:12] omf_: because having a huge wall of out-of-date information isn't necessarily what people need to see when they go to the page, and if they *did* there's a pretty prominent link to it? [06:12] and i didn't randomly decide to do this for no reason, because the precedent is: [06:12] http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Google_Video_Warroom [06:12] http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Yahoo_Video_Warroom [06:12] neither of which were started by me [06:16] and while you're chewing me out about that, you can also chew out jason, who also has archived old stuff before, so that the new page could contain an overview of the aftermath of a project: http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Google_Video&action=history [06:17] Dude I didn't even know it was you or cared. I was looking for a question from that page and noticed a bunch stuff not there and find now it has been moved [06:18] OMF. [06:18] Dude, fucking relax. [06:19] He did it on my request and word. [06:19] Take it up with me. [06:20] When a project wraps up, generally, we have moved the information regarding direct technical and discovery items into a subpage, linkable from the top page. [06:20] See I found it surprising since both of the other warrooms happened a year before I joined archiveteam. I am trying to find out the why, not question if it was right or not. Knowing we used to do it means the why makes sense. I don't have a problem with that, I hadn't seen it thats all [06:20] Replacing it with a summary page. [06:20] This is adorable. You didn't even see the hostility in your statement, did you. [06:23] It is blunter than a brick wall, yes [06:23] Do you know how many complaints I get about you? [06:23] Let's go with... "a lot". [06:23] probably more than anyone else [06:24] This project is 99.9% volunteer. Attack people for getting stuff done and it's not a recipe for immortality. [06:24] Take it up with me if there's a problem. [08:12] Enron Email Dataset https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~enron/ [08:18] I'll get it. [08:20] My new trick during boring procedures now is to watch documentaries on Netflix while doing it. [08:20] Watching That Guy Who Was In That Thing [08:21] About 16 actors who've done bit parts all their lives [08:21] Enron grabbed. [08:27] At 9 minutes in, this documentary's pretty much done. [08:29] haha [08:30] ironic, i suppose [08:34] http://archive.org/details/2011_04_02_enron_email_dataset [08:36] not in https://archive.org/details/datasets ? [08:37] Shuffle shuffle shuffle [08:37] fixed [08:38] also "the appropriate changes" link is busted [08:39] You are ANAL [08:39] Fixed. [08:39] People link me to things, I go "that's nice" and right back to the dog porn [08:40] I see I grabbed this common_crawl_index_urls.bz2 and for the life of me I forget the story. [08:42] it is ivan` s common crawl url set [08:44] Up it goes! [10:27] OK, this documentary just redeemed itself [10:27] Because I realize one of these actors is Reg from the old Max Headroom series [10:27] INSTANT WIN [18:00] The Boxee thing. It's DIABOLICAL [18:01] samsung buying samsung? I didn't like any part of it. [18:05] Whats happening with boxee now? [18:07] Just saw twitter, well..... wow. :/ [18:18] http://archive.org/details/MAME_0.149_CHDs_A-B [18:26] Lookin' good. Browser option included. [18:43] And now to add the ROMs and Extras [18:45] Holy balls, MAME ROMs are up to 28,150. [18:48] Also, torrents are so intense, they will download all the roms in 60 minutes. [19:07] http://archive.org/details/MESS_0.149_Software_List_ROMs [19:21] that is definitively including laserdiscs, cubeqst.chd is another one [19:21] you can also tell because they're stupidly large (lossless compression woo) [19:38] Yes. [19:38] I realized that last night when the Firefox CHD went by. [19:39] It's funny now [19:39] In my Among Archive.org mindset, I see the 27gb of ROMs for MAME and go "oh, it's that big." [19:39] Like "Huh, OK, into one item it goes." [19:52] http://maf.mozdev.org/maff-file-format.html [19:52] why not warc?... [19:59] MAFF, compared to other web archive formats, is particularly suited to package video and audio together with related web resources. [19:59] That's why. [19:59] aah, I see. So basically individual records can be compressed or uncompressed. [20:00] I bet you could do that with warc.gz with some hackery though [20:00] DFJustin: What is up with Rollback CHDs [20:00] rollbacks are for previous versions of mame [20:01] I don't see the differance between WARC and MAFF in regards to better suited for Audio/Video :o [20:01] I should probably grab that. [20:01] which often require different roms/chds due to redumps being made later or chd format changes [20:01] Seems pretty harmless to add. [20:02] Be prepared to add new sets every time a new MESS release comes out, as stuff often gets moved around, better dumps surface, etc [20:02] Well, that's the goal, yes. [20:02] * balrog wishes much of the crap to dump wasn't so expensive [20:03] Balrog, I want to buy 5 flippy-capable floppy drives. [20:03] Who do I pay to do this. [20:03] SketchCow: we need to discuss this a bit because there's the difference between 40 track and 80 track drives [20:03] (and wide and narrow heads) [20:03] We don't need to discuss it too much. [20:03] I'll buy multiples of each. [20:04] Does anyone know when warc file format development started? [20:04] I'm rapidly running out of online archives of software to add to archive.org. [20:04] Not bad, only took 5 months [20:04] a couple of each is probably best [20:04] Next it's time to start generating my own from stuff. [20:04] I'm still hoping for usable sample data though. [20:05] SketchCow: what about I figure out what's our current inventory of un-modded drives, then figure out how many we'll need? [20:05] Yes. [20:05] Consider money not an issue. [20:05] all right. [20:05] Buy on auction if you have to. [20:06] there's still the GoodTools collections [20:06] Right, as well as.... [20:06] Trurip. That's the name. [20:07] redump.org [20:07] where can I get a copy of trurip? [20:07] archive.org soon [20:07] Right, redump as well. [20:07] with sources? [20:07] redump is huge [20:07] But these are all as good as done. [20:07] I.e. I have access to them and am adding them at top speed. [20:07] Hence my focusing on unripped items. [20:08] I mean, I seriously have 4000 floppies here ready to go. [20:08] as I said some time ago, I've got much more free time nowadays [20:08] guess I'll start throwing up some of these pc98 archives [20:08] Let's do it. Let's do it all. [20:08] floppies seem to breed if you let them. [20:09] Had a nice chat with the boss that we're rapidly getting away from 'oh no, nothing is online' to 'Oh crap, there is near infinite piles of stuff' [20:09] btw, I linked this before: http://forum.redump.org/topic/10483/discimagecreator/ it seems to be an open source utility that can do much of what trurip does. unfortunately I need some plextor drives. [21:10] OK, piling up the MAME stuff for entry into the site. [21:12] starting to upload this http://fullmotionvideo.free.fr/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=757 [21:20] "very large" [21:20] Spoiled, I am. SO SPOILED [21:20] yeah you better stand back on this one [21:20] That's nearly 28% of a DVD-ROM [21:21] 1GB = 0.01 milliSketches [21:24] * Smiley ponders [21:24] SketchCow: Sorry to keep mentioning it but I see the complete thing as some kind of ideal end point - Have the last 11 blogs of posterous been included yet?
