00:19 πŸ”— godane i got +2.5gb of groklaw
00:43 πŸ”— godane so here is ces 2011 from labrats.tv: http://archive.org/details/labrats-256
02:16 πŸ”— dashcloud anyone have an AIM account still? aolforever apparently went down on the 27th of July, and took a bunch of AOL files, historical items, and other related items from the online service with it. The site admin's name should be "paste" if I'm reading the page right. http://web.archive.org/web/20130523004148/http://aolforever.com/
02:35 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T i have aim
02:41 πŸ”— dashcloud I have no idea if it's even a good idea, but the admin of that site did have a nice collection of AOL items/programs/screenshots/etc, and it would be nice if IA could get a copy if the aolforever.com site won't be returning
02:42 πŸ”— dashcloud the only contact info I see is an AIM name
02:55 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T which is?
02:55 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T is it just 'paste'?
02:55 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T he was with hostgator maybe he is just moving
02:58 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T or is it the Obs Cryptic?
02:58 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T there is some ICQ also
02:58 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T no one signed in on Obs Cryptic
02:59 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T icq 76409772 maybe
03:00 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T here
03:00 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T http://justinide.net/about-us/
03:00 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T he is alive on facebook, twitter is dead tho
03:02 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T im emailing him
03:08 πŸ”— dashcloud thanks!
04:51 πŸ”— Muad-Dib_ Is someone archiving Groklaw? http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/08/groklaw-shuts-down-rather-than-risk-feds-snooping-through-e-mail/
04:53 πŸ”— Muad-Dib_ Because I don´t think it will be up much longer
05:02 πŸ”— anon42 Muad-Dib_: a couple people have been at it since this morning I think
05:48 πŸ”— yipdw Muad-Dib_: I've been talking with PJ
05:48 πŸ”— yipdw Muad-Dib_: she has told me (1) that Groklaw has no plans to shut down and (2) the LoC has been archiving their articles (but not comments)
05:49 πŸ”— yipdw that said, we're still welcome to do a backup
05:49 πŸ”— yipdw re: the comment block -- that's the wish of the Groklaw community, i.e. that their comments not be archived
05:49 πŸ”— yipdw of course I can't stop anyone from archiving them but I think you should be aware of it
05:50 πŸ”— yipdw the /pdf* directories are also robot-blocked and I've asked her about that as well
05:50 πŸ”— yipdw currently awaiting a response
14:02 πŸ”— guest307 Hi everyone, sorry to bother you. Perhaps I have misunderstood something, but I thought geocities shut down. Yet google search for site:http://www.geocities.com/ shows thousands of links that all seem to work. Has yahoo revived it?
14:08 πŸ”— ersi guest307: I think most of them are 'paid users'. They're still online
14:10 πŸ”— guest307 Ah okay, that makes sense. For a second I had hope that it had come back. Thanks for your help
15:02 πŸ”— yipdw godane, balrog, omf_: PJ has said that PDFs are okay to archive
15:02 πŸ”— yipdw BUT
15:02 πŸ”— yipdw she requests that we hold off a few months so she can fix embarrassing typos in the early articles
15:16 πŸ”— yipdw also, I've invited her to join this channel if she feels comfortable doing so, because me acting as intermediary seems unnecessary
15:18 πŸ”— omf_ well I am not getting the pdfs now because those are easy to get
15:19 πŸ”— yipdw sure
15:19 πŸ”— yipdw I'm just passing along messages
15:41 πŸ”— Muad-Dib_ yipdw: nice work, man
15:41 πŸ”— yipdw just talking :P
15:50 πŸ”— balrog if she feels email is insecure I dunno what she thinks about IRC
15:50 πŸ”— balrog IRC is insecure by design
15:50 πŸ”— balrog heh
15:54 πŸ”— yipdw balrog: sure, but might as well just offer it
15:54 πŸ”— balrog yeah
15:54 πŸ”— yipdw balrog: also we're not discussing whistleblower-level details here
15:54 πŸ”— balrog that's true
21:26 πŸ”— godane i'm backing up theguardian.com master index
21:27 πŸ”— godane and from there i can do year like dumps of it
23:01 πŸ”— omf_ 6.2gb of groklaw articles and comments and counting
