[18:10] <arkiver> widgetbox download is going fine
[18:10] <arkiver> 3.2 million urls downloaded
[18:10] <arkiver> 75 GB
[18:11] <arkiver> but I'm not totally sure it will be done before the deadline
[18:55] <SketchCow> Internet Archive has now provided over 2 Petabytes of MAME ROM Download.

[18:55] <exmic> that was fast
[22:58] <namespace> You guys seem like you would know, where do I go to find the original prices of stuff like a VT100 terminal?
[23:04] <namespace> Is there a website that collects such information, or do I have to go trawling through old magazines and catalogs?
[23:05] <exmic> I'd say you'll probably have to do some research
[23:18] <chfoo> is Archive Maniac in here? re: http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Chfoo&diff=18799&oldid=18570 . i'm not sure if trolling or just confused.
[23:24] <ivan`> just a confused 11 year old?
[23:28] <namespace> "I have an idea. How's about we can contribute sites to the Archive Team, whether or not it has been shut down."
[23:28] <namespace> How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real?
[23:29] <namespace> Oh wait, I think I get it actually. He thinks there's a rule against grabbing sites that don't have a 'we're shutting down' message.
[23:33] <dashcloud> namespace: do you have any idea what kind of publication or place would've had that information originally?
[23:33] <namespace> dashcloud: No, I don't.
[23:33] <namespace> Probably a trade or computer magazine.
[23:33] <namespace> Or a catalog.
[23:35] <dashcloud> there's craptons of those on IA, but unfortunately if you need to search through them, you'll have to search on Google for the magazine
[23:35] <namespace> Well JS wanted me to try tagging some anywya.
[23:35] <namespace> *anyway
[23:36] <SketchCow> Huaazzhdffkfkf
[23:36] <SketchCow> I'm about to scan in a newspaper AT the Archive!
[23:37] <SketchCow> MicroTimes
[23:37] <SketchCow> If it works, we're going to have me night scan
[23:37] <namespace> Sweet.
[23:37] <namespace> So is there a tutorial floating around on how to go about tagging the computer magazines? I remember you said to type out the index.
[23:38] <namespace> (Or do I scan it with OCR?)
[23:38] <namespace> s/index/tabe of contents/
[23:38] <namespace> *table
[23:39] <dashcloud> SketchCow can help you get started- I'll just tell you what I did.  I just typed in all of the table of contents into the same template, same style across each issue of a magazine
[23:42] <dashcloud> one table of contents per file, one (massive) line per file. See this issue of Big-K magazine for an example: https://archive.org/details/01-big-k-magazine
[23:45] <namespace> "one (massive) line"
[23:45] <namespace> You mean in my text editor or?
[23:46] <dashcloud> I set my text editor to word-wrap lines on the screen for me, and then just typed everything on one line.
[23:47] <dashcloud> I don't know if the current thinking on magazine metadata has changed or not- it's been some time since I last did a magazine
[23:47] <namespace> dashcloud: Big-K is what was recommended to me as an example the last time I asked.
[23:49] <dashcloud> here's the template I created for Big-K to make sure I did the same thing each time: http://paste.archivingyoursh.it/siyovuvusi.vbs
[23:49] <namespace> dashcloud: On linux here, haven't used Microsoft office in years.
[23:50] <namespace> (That is a visual basic script file right?)
[23:50] <dashcloud> no
[23:50] <dashcloud> the paste site gives strange names to things
[23:50] <exmic> a bunch of vintage sears/penneys/etc catalog scans: http://192.185.93.157/~wishbook/
[23:50] <dashcloud> I used Kate to write up the metadata- maybe a little heavy, but since I was already using KDE, it didn't bother me much
