[00:07] BT throttled my bandwidth yesterday after archiving for a day [00:07] was at 10mbps download >:| [00:46] SketchCow: you around? [00:47] Please reach out to this gentleman: http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=5123.0 [00:49] you can reach him under nicks 'NFXg' or 'NFG' here on EFNet [00:50] "and I'll cut the books apart and scan every page" [00:50] :\ [00:50] right [00:51] from what he says, it's necessary due to the way the magazines are assembled, but I thought it'd be better to leave that up to an expert [00:52] if the content can be salvaged without destruction, i'm sure he's be happy to cover (or have donations cover) roundtrip shipping [00:52] yes [00:53] sketch'll be around soon enough, so stick around [00:53] OK, thanks [01:25] afaik you only need to cut if you're trying to use a flatbed or sheet feeder and not the nifty ia style glass plate scan machines [01:25] the high-end scanners can do practically anything without needing to damage the book- the ones I've seen all have an adjustable cradle design, so you can adjust to fit the page size [02:10] hi folks, did I make a mistake or something here trying to add cover images: http://archive.org/details/25EducationGames [02:59] so, what am I doing wrong compared to this item with a cover image? http://archive.org/details/cdrom-doom-accessories [03:20] you have to trigger a derive, it won't use png directly [03:20] go to edit item, change information, item manager link at top, derive button [03:21] for reasons I don't understand this is not automatic when adding new files through the web interface [03:30] I know, it's silly. [03:31] I ran the deriver for you, dashcloud [03:32] hey, I'm not silly :( [03:33] okay- I feel a lot better now [03:37] thanks everyone! [03:46] of course now you have the issue that only the first file in alphabetical order will be used [05:10] well that sucks. i can't go to defcon this year. [05:10] and this is the wrong window [05:14] :( [05:40] DEFCOOONNNN [05:55] Ah, DEFCON. One day.. [05:56] one day indeed [21:39] SketchCow: did you see this post from amerrykan last night? http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=5123.0 [21:42] Lawrence (NFXg) is currently lurking here if you want to chat with him about it [21:51] interesting; I have a similar problem (a lot of paper to scan), except that I have two duplexing scanners already... [22:16] Yeah, I saw that. [22:35] indeed I am lurking here. Now exposed, thanks merry. [22:44] :P [22:44] putting together a good workflow to process this data is where I'm at atm [22:45] I mean, can I just dump tars of .tiffs into IA and will it produce nice PDFs for me? :) [22:46] haven't tested with .tar but you certainly can with .zip [22:46] the niceness of the pdf will depend a lot on the type of material though [23:08] what, max 6? http://i.imgur.com/2kLX0io.png [23:16] that can happen sometimes, pepsimax - if you refresh it'll usually show you just the 6 that are really running. (Those other ones are old jobs that have finished, or 'ghost' duplicates of current jobs) [23:16] :p [23:22] ok fin [23:22] e [23:40] You do a zip. [23:41] A zip of TIFFs. [23:41] Done. [23:44] a zip of ordered tiffs, upload to IA, and done? alright. [23:44] I can do that :) [23:50] Yes. [23:50] Call it .zip or cbz, both work.
