[03:04] can somebody who is less tired than me look into pushing http://www.scp-wiki.net/ into archivebot correctly? [03:04] just realized it's hosted by wikidot, and I doubt it classifies as educational [03:04] so may possibly be at risk [03:26] 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] Going up tonight: [04:23] * 50,000 IMChaos links from profiles (ID, AIM screen name, URL, date) [04:23] * 730,000 AOL Instant Messenger profiles [04:23] * 5,900,000 IMChaos link-fan relationships (ID, fan's AIM screen name) (users can fake this data) [04:23] * 2,400,000 User names of Webshots users [04:23] * 5,500,000 Webshot (user, fain) pairs [04:23] * 13 Non-scientific survey of hottest users in Webshots' goodtimes category [05:50] WHAT FORSOOTH, PRITHEE TELL ME THE SECRET WORD [05:51] * n00b750 slaps Muad-Dib around a bit with a large fishbot [05:52] yahoosucks [05:52] ..fuck you're that guy aren't you [05:54] ok come on I want to make a account hurry up [05:55] * n00b750 slaps LD100 around a bit with a large fishbot [05:55] * n00b750 slaps Meeh around a bit with a large fishbot [05:56] n00b750: cut it out [05:57] cut what out? [05:57] highlighting random people [05:57] who are you and what do you want [05:57] chances are i can either hook you up or tell you definitively that you're not getting it [05:58] I am he who wants to help with something [05:58] ok first change your name to something that wasn't automatically generated [05:58] type /nick mynewname [05:59] well Im not going to be one here long enough to need to [05:59] but for your sake [06:00] hi RantWhy [06:00] there [06:00] Hi [06:01] so [06:01] here's the thing [06:01] I want to back up whoever backed up wallbase.cc [06:02] any help? [06:02] i believe that was pluesch [06:02] k is he on? [06:03] godane did some as well [06:03] how do I get in touch with them? [06:04] i don't know if pluesch is sitting in front of a computer at this very moment [06:04] but their client is online so they'll probably be around eventually [06:04] best way to contact people in irc is to send them a private message and wait for them to answer [06:04] can take minutes to days [06:04] depending [06:05] alternatively, have you looked at http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Wallbase ? [06:05] how do I send them a massage then? [06:05] there are urls there and some of them are live [06:07] yeah but I wanted to talk to some one before I started downing almost 2tb if data [06:07] fair enough [06:07] it says on the page that the other mirror is controlled by Fusl [06:07] if you inspect the list of people in this channel, Fusl is on that list [06:09] yeah I see him then what should I do to talk to him? [06:09] send them a private message using your irc client [06:11] yeah that's just it I don't know how to use this thing? [06:12] hm, afraid I can't help you with that [06:12] S fine [06:26] yeah I think I got it [06:27] Thanks for the help @xmc [06:34] cool [07:10] hey guys and ladies [07:13] * Fusl hugs pluesch [07:15] " yeah I see him then what should I do to talk to him?", her please :) [12:03] 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] http://www.nsf.gov/discoveries/disc_summ.jsp?cntn_id=132941&org=NSF [18:01] 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] I can't find any links on the archive.org site about who to talk to to volunteer [18:01] mail them at info@archive.org [18:08] ^ [18:08] I'm here now [18:10] * pluesch hugs Fusl [18:10] Fusl: yeah ... i used 'they' for a reason [18:14] Ok, emailing them [18:36] 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] I don't want to hoard these old devices [18:36] but at the same time, for instance there are missing game cart ROMs from IA's collection AFICT [18:40] acquire whatever you wish to hold on to [18:40] unless you're going to become known as "that guy", things usually don't come to you [18:52] we need more "that guy"s, though [18:53] yes [18:59] Holy Jesus Titnipples: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221564569633 [19:00] 5700+ games.

[19:00] heh [19:01] I suppose the question everyone would ask from that seller is, why part? [19:16] 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] I'm not sure I heard well, there are some games somewhere? :) [19:22] games, games everywhere. [20:34] ivan, are you the same person in #phlegethos? [21:31] 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] like formats to save in (WARC, etc) [21:33] qwerty0: http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Introduction http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Wget http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=WARC [21:35] long story short, you can probably use wget for most things, and always save a WARC where possible [21:35] (and ignore robots.txt where you can) [21:36] so ideal is WARC [21:36] yup [21:36] but if I can't get wget to output WARC, it's not the end of the world? [21:36] qwerty0: in fact, WARC is a prerequisite for it to be loaded into the wayback machine [21:36] well [21:36] hmm [21:36] depends on your definition of "end of the world" [21:36] so no WARC = no IA [21:36] warc is head and shoulders better than anything else we have [21:36] or, no Wayback but maybe IA? [21:36] it not being in WARC means you are missing critical metadata for reproduction in something like the wayback [21:36] hmm [21:36] so yes, technically speaking you have the page body, but everything else is gone [21:36] WARC also saves the request/response headers etc [21:37] right, right [21:37] but wget supports WARC out of the box nowadays [21:37] so it shouldn't be a big problem to get it running [21:37] yeah, that'd be fantastic [21:37] just specify --warc-file=something, and it'll save to something.warc.gz [21:37] oh hey, lookit that, it's right in the manpage for my wget now! [21:37] :) [21:38] sweet! [21:38] (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] at least, didn't when I was using it [21:39] although to be honest it'd be real nice if i could just save something a bit smaller [21:39] it's a site where all i really care about is the text, not images and stuff [21:40] you can remove the -p argument and it won't get images and css and script, I think [21:40] hmm [21:40] and it'd still be wayback-eligible, i guess? [21:40] well [21:40] maybe not [21:40] yeah, but shittier [21:41] i may not have much of a choice, since i don't think i have a hope of storing it with images [21:41] some is better than none [21:41] what's the url, qwerty? [21:41] but that's what i get by deciding to go rogue :) [21:41] it's songmeanings.com [23:04] 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."
