03:04 πŸ”— joepie91 can somebody who is less tired than me look into pushing http://www.scp-wiki.net/ into archivebot correctly?
03:04 πŸ”— joepie91 just realized it's hosted by wikidot, and I doubt it classifies as educational
03:04 πŸ”— joepie91 so may possibly be at risk
03:26 πŸ”— SketchCow It's going to take FOREVER, but FOS is now shoving out all the crap related to all the current projects it has - they're all doing their work in the windows.
04:23 πŸ”— SketchCow Going up tonight:
04:23 πŸ”— SketchCow * 50,000 IMChaos links from profiles (ID, AIM screen name, URL, date)
04:23 πŸ”— SketchCow * 730,000 AOL Instant Messenger profiles
04:23 πŸ”— SketchCow * 5,900,000 IMChaos link-fan relationships (ID, fan's AIM screen name) (users can fake this data)

05:52 πŸ”— Kazzy ..fuck you're that guy aren't you
05:54 πŸ”— n00b750 ok come on I want to make a account hurry up
05:55 πŸ”— * n00b750 slaps LD100 around a bit with a large fishbot
05:55 πŸ”— * n00b750 slaps Meeh around a bit with a large fishbot
05:56 πŸ”— xmc n00b750: cut it out
05:57 πŸ”— n00b750 cut what out?
05:57 πŸ”— xmc highlighting random people
05:57 πŸ”— xmc who are you and what do you want
05:57 πŸ”— xmc chances are i can either hook you up or tell you definitively that you're not getting it
05:58 πŸ”— n00b750 I am he who wants to help with something
05:58 πŸ”— xmc ok first change your name to something that wasn't automatically generated
05:58 πŸ”— xmc type /nick mynewname

06:03 πŸ”— xmc godane did some as well
06:03 πŸ”— RantWhy how do I get in touch with them?
06:04 πŸ”— xmc i don't know if pluesch is sitting in front of a computer at this very moment
06:04 πŸ”— xmc but their client is online so they'll probably be around eventually
06:04 πŸ”— xmc best way to contact people in irc is to send them a private message and wait for them to answer
06:04 πŸ”— xmc can take minutes to days
06:04 πŸ”— xmc depending
06:05 πŸ”— xmc alternatively, have you looked at http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Wallbase ?
06:05 πŸ”— RantWhy how do I send them a massage then?
06:05 πŸ”— xmc there are urls there and some of them are live
06:07 πŸ”— RantWhy yeah but I wanted to talk to some one before I started downing almost 2tb if data
06:07 πŸ”— xmc fair enough
06:07 πŸ”— xmc it says on the page that the other mirror is controlled by Fusl
06:07 πŸ”— xmc if you inspect the list of people in this channel, Fusl is on that list
06:09 πŸ”— RantWhy yeah I see him then what should I do to talk to him?
06:09 πŸ”— xmc send them a private message using your irc client
06:11 πŸ”— RantWhy yeah that's just it I don't know how to use this thing?
06:12 πŸ”— xmc hm, afraid I can't help you with that
06:12 πŸ”— RantWhy S fine
06:26 πŸ”— RantWhy yeah I think I got it
06:27 πŸ”— RantWhy Thanks for the help @xmc
06:34 πŸ”— xmc cool
07:10 πŸ”— Fusl hey guys and ladies
07:13 πŸ”— * Fusl hugs pluesch
07:15 πŸ”— Fusl "<RantWhy> yeah I see him then what should I do to talk to him?", her please :)
12:03 πŸ”— SadDM joepie91: I threw scp-wiki into archivebot. It looks like all of the edit and history links javascript-y so I think it should go pretty smoothly.
13:09 πŸ”— balrog http://www.nsf.gov/discoveries/disc_summ.jsp?cntn_id=132941&org=NSF
18:01 πŸ”— is4 about 6 months ago, IA was looking for volunteers to digitize a 40,000 video tapes of TV http://www.fastcompany.com/3028069/the-internet-archive-is-digitizing-40000-vhs-tapes
18:01 πŸ”— is4 I can't find any links on the archive.org site about who to talk to to volunteer
18:01 πŸ”— schbirid mail them at info@archive.org
18:08 πŸ”— xmc ^
18:08 πŸ”— pluesch I'm here now
18:10 πŸ”— * pluesch hugs Fusl
18:10 πŸ”— xmc Fusl: yeah ... i used 'they' for a reason
18:14 πŸ”— is4 Ok, emailing them
18:36 πŸ”— is4 How usfeul would it be for me to acquire more old media reading devices? How often does old digital media appear that is worth archving (like Prince of Persia)?
18:36 πŸ”— is4 I don't want to hoard these old devices
18:36 πŸ”— is4 but at the same time, for instance there are missing game cart ROMs from IA's collection AFICT
18:40 πŸ”— xmc acquire whatever you wish to hold on to
18:40 πŸ”— xmc unless you're going to become known as "that guy", things usually don't come to you
18:52 πŸ”— joepie91 we need more "that guy"s, though
18:53 πŸ”— xmc yes
18:59 πŸ”— Dr_Shits Holy Jesus Titnipples: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221564569633

19:00 πŸ”— jmtd heh
19:01 πŸ”— jmtd I suppose the question everyone would ask from that seller is, why part?
19:16 πŸ”— garyrh the seller explains a bit more here: http://www.reddit.com/r/gamecollecting/comments/2ii7qp/looks_like_someone_is_getting_out_of_the_game/cl2t9vx?context=3
19:20 πŸ”— Nemo_bis I'm not sure I heard well, there are some games somewhere? :)
19:22 πŸ”— garyrh games, games everywhere.
20:34 πŸ”— is4 ivan, are you the same person in #phlegethos?
21:31 πŸ”— qwerty0 hey, if I wanted to take initiative and start archiving a site myself, is there a resource of stuff to be aware of?
21:31 πŸ”— qwerty0 like formats to save in (WARC, etc)
21:33 πŸ”— danneh_ qwerty0: http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Introduction http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Wget http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=WARC
21:35 πŸ”— danneh_ long story short, you can probably use wget for most things, and always save a WARC where possible
21:35 πŸ”— joepie91 (and ignore robots.txt where you can)
21:36 πŸ”— qwerty0 so ideal is WARC
21:36 πŸ”— joepie91 yup
21:36 πŸ”— qwerty0 but if I can't get wget to output WARC, it's not the end of the world?
21:36 πŸ”— joepie91 qwerty0: in fact, WARC is a prerequisite for it to be loaded into the wayback machine
21:36 πŸ”— joepie91 well
21:36 πŸ”— qwerty0 hmm
21:36 πŸ”— joepie91 depends on your definition of "end of the world"
21:36 πŸ”— qwerty0 so no WARC = no IA
21:36 πŸ”— xmc warc is head and shoulders better than anything else we have
21:36 πŸ”— qwerty0 or, no Wayback but maybe IA?
21:36 πŸ”— joepie91 it not being in WARC means you are missing critical metadata for reproduction in something like the wayback
21:36 πŸ”— qwerty0 hmm
21:36 πŸ”— joepie91 so yes, technically speaking you have the page body, but everything else is gone
21:36 πŸ”— joepie91 WARC also saves the request/response headers etc
21:37 πŸ”— qwerty0 right, right
21:37 πŸ”— joepie91 but wget supports WARC out of the box nowadays
21:37 πŸ”— joepie91 so it shouldn't be a big problem to get it running
21:37 πŸ”— qwerty0 yeah, that'd be fantastic
21:37 πŸ”— joepie91 just specify --warc-file=something, and it'll save to something.warc.gz
21:37 πŸ”— qwerty0 oh hey, lookit that, it's right in the manpage for my wget now!
21:37 πŸ”— joepie91 :)
21:38 πŸ”— qwerty0 sweet!
21:38 πŸ”— danneh_ (one thing to mention, it does not check for existing warc files, so if you run wget twice with the same --warc-file argument it'll completely overwrite it on the second go)
21:38 πŸ”— danneh_ at least, didn't when I was using it
21:39 πŸ”— qwerty0 although to be honest it'd be real nice if i could just save something a bit smaller
21:39 πŸ”— qwerty0 it's a site where all i really care about is the text, not images and stuff
21:40 πŸ”— xmc you can remove the -p argument and it won't get images and css and script, I think
21:40 πŸ”— qwerty0 hmm
21:40 πŸ”— qwerty0 and it'd still be wayback-eligible, i guess?
21:40 πŸ”— qwerty0 well
21:40 πŸ”— qwerty0 maybe not
21:40 πŸ”— xmc yeah, but shittier
21:41 πŸ”— qwerty0 i may not have much of a choice, since i don't think i have a hope of storing it with images
21:41 πŸ”— xmc some is better than none
21:41 πŸ”— danneh_ what's the url, qwerty?
21:41 πŸ”— qwerty0 but that's what i get by deciding to go rogue :)
21:41 πŸ”— qwerty0 it's songmeanings.com
23:04 πŸ”— Stilett0 I'm always late to the party, but Monday night's Colbert: "I get all my legal research from cached GeoCities pages from the 1990's. That's how I know it is my constitutional right to get jiggy with Gillian Anderson."

23:12 πŸ”— Stilett0 :)
