SketchCow: I've got a few dozen items that could go into https://archive.org/details/gamebooks, but I've got a suspicion that they might already be there but dark... can you easily see what might be darked in there? |

SadDM: tried searching the catalog? |
18:24
🔗
|
SadDM |
yup... came up with nothing |
18:24
🔗
|
SadDM |
but if the items are dark they don't show up in a search right? |
18:25
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
I mean https://catalogd.archive.org/catalog.php |
18:28
🔗
|
SadDM |
hmm... it looks like I'd have to guess the identifier? |
18:33

|
Nemo_bis |
wildcard * |

midas |
lol |

Nemo_bis |
usually it's too slow for my limited patience so I'm not sure what one can actually find in it :) |

|
midas |
wildcards in the archive, yeah that's probably not a smart move :p |
18:34
🔗
|
SadDM |
so search for *, wait 10 years for the page to load and then ctrl-f? |
18:35

|
midas |
hahaha |

|
SadDM |
I think I'm totally missing something |
18:36
🔗
|
midas |
if im not mistaken SadDM, that might actually crash the internet. |
18:36

|
SadDM |
:-D that's what I was thinking |
18:38
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
usually one * works; it's when you use two that things go bad :) |
18:38
🔗
|
midas |
yeah, i think i saw that in a movie once |

|
midas |
i think this was part of it Nemo_bis http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/death-star-1.jpg |

|
SadDM |
also, am I right that catalog.php only shows tasks that haven't completed? |
18:53
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
no |

|
Nemo_bis |
I can't find my deleted items, but when I look for the history of an individual item I can see it |
18:56
🔗
|
SadDM |
when I look up an item by identifier it returns nothing |
18:57
🔗
|
SadDM |
pff... I think that I have a wicked case of "almost the weekend" |
18:58
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
SadDM: but are you an admin? |
18:59
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
good thing I archive everything, let's check what identifiers I used |
18:59
🔗
|
SadDM |
ah... not on that collection, no |
18:59

|
SadDM |

I doubt that matters. Like, do you see something at https://archive.org/history/TexWiller001 ? |
19:00
🔗
|
SadDM |
yes |
19:01
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
Or https://archive.org/catalog.php?search_identifier=TexWiller*&search_task_id=&search_server=&search_cmd=&search_submittime=&search_submitter=&search_args=&limit=100&history=1&searching=! |
19:01

|
SadDM |
yes |

Nemo_bis |
Then, you just have to remember that it's case sensitive etc. |
19:02
🔗
|
midas |
i dont think wildcards understand case sensitivity |
19:03
🔗
|
SadDM |
huh... when I search by identifier, it seems like I need the trailing * |
19:05
🔗
|
SadDM |
but while that's interesting and all I would still need to guess the identifier of an item that might exist and be dark |
19:05

|
Nemo_bis |
Well, a fragment of it. :) |

Sure, if you only have two letters it can get complicated. ^^ |
