dashcloud: i captured some aol 5 traffic in virtual box and now i'm seeing if i can disassemble some of the program files |

chfoo: if you're good with languages, you can practically disassemble everything interactively- using the Star tool you can debug and step through the forms that make up all the AOL screens. |

so, are you planning to swap out your full-size model for that model? |
|

SketchCow |
Ultimately, yes. |

Disadvantage: Large-format books no |

Advantage: I can drive to Casa De Neckbeard and just scan the fuck out in the living room |

Or visit somewhere and drop it off while someone works on it. |

The Penny Arcade Report's servers shut down Thursday - is it a worthy candidate for archival? http://www.penny-arcade.com/news/post/2014/08/27/shutting-off-the-par-server-on-thursday |

We grabbed all that bullshit when they first shut it down |
|
02:31
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Then they brought it back, as far as I can tell, on a whim, and now they're shutting it down again |

this is awkward |

raylee |
working on a script, to dump lists of aol file areas |
|
22:33
🔗
|
raylee |
well, i can dump the file lists all right |
|
22:34
🔗
|
raylee |
all but the first entry, which has been replaced in memory (waol's listboxes are awkward, calling the win32 api function to get the text of a listbox entry gives you a pointer to a structure... at a certain offset into that structure is a pointer to another structure, at a certain offset into *that* structure is a pointer to a string) |

there's nothing wrong with trying- if you had succeeded, that would've been great |
|

I'll dig up my copy of the list if you're interested later |
