[18:02] 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] SadDM: tried searching the catalog? [18:24] yup... came up with nothing [18:24] but if the items are dark they don't show up in a search right? [18:25] I mean https://catalogd.archive.org/catalog.php [18:28] hmm... it looks like I'd have to guess the identifier? [18:33] wildcard * [18:34] lol [18:34] usually it's too slow for my limited patience so I'm not sure what one can actually find in it :) [18:34] :-| [18:34] wildcards in the archive, yeah that's probably not a smart move :p [18:34] so search for *, wait 10 years for the page to load and then ctrl-f? [18:35] hahaha [18:35] I think I'm totally missing something [18:36] if im not mistaken SadDM, that might actually crash the internet. [18:36] :-D that's what I was thinking [18:38] usually one * works; it's when you use two that things go bad :) [18:38] yeah, i think i saw that in a movie once [18:40] i think this was part of it Nemo_bis http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/death-star-1.jpg [18:43] also, am I right that catalog.php only shows tasks that haven't completed? [18:53] no [18:54] I can't find my deleted items, but when I look for the history of an individual item I can see it [18:56] when I look up an item by identifier it returns nothing [18:57] pff... I think that I have a wicked case of "almost the weekend" [18:58] SadDM: but are you an admin? [18:59] good thing I archive everything, let's check what identifiers I used [18:59] ah... not on that collection, no [18:59] :-D [19:00] I doubt that matters. Like, do you see something at https://archive.org/history/TexWiller001 ? [19:00] yes [19:01] 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] yes [19:01] Then, you just have to remember that it's case sensitive etc. [19:02] i dont think wildcards understand case sensitivity [19:03] huh... when I search by identifier, it seems like I need the trailing * [19:05] 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] Well, a fragment of it. :) [19:06] Sure, if you only have two letters it can get complicated. ^^
