18:02 🔗 SadDM 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?
18:24 🔗 Nemo_bis 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 *
18:34 🔗 midas lol
18:34 🔗 Nemo_bis usually it's too slow for my limited patience so I'm not sure what one can actually find in it :)
18:34 🔗 SadDM :-|
18:34 🔗 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
18:35 🔗 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
18:40 🔗 midas i think this was part of it Nemo_bis http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/death-star-1.jpg
18:43 🔗 SadDM also, am I right that catalog.php only shows tasks that haven't completed?
18:53 🔗 Nemo_bis no
18:54 🔗 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 :-D
19:00 🔗 Nemo_bis 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
19:01 🔗 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. :)
19:06 🔗 Nemo_bis Sure, if you only have two letters it can get complicated. ^^
