[00:01] *** JohnTalen has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [00:47] ! [00:59] *** godane has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving.) [01:59] SketchCow: is there a term of art for Emularity-style emulation, as a counterpoint to emulation-as-a-service? [02:00] client-side emulation? fat emulation? browser-based emulation? [02:00] or should I just call it Emularity [02:29] *** godane has joined #jsmess [04:24] Browser-Based Emulation [17:21] *** azakai has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) [20:16] Browser-Based is often used. I'd say "In-browser Emulation" gets closer to the core of it, but my non-native English is not quite sure where you stand on that hyphen. [20:57] zino: that hyphen is perfect [21:12] yeah Google suggested in-browser emulation to me when I searched for browser-based emulation [21:14] it's nice to know that google now has opinions on what it should be called [21:14] we've made it [21:14] heh [21:15] anyone know why azakai named emscripten, emscripten? [21:18] Well, it makes C-ish things into ECMA-script, so there is play on words right there. [21:19] (Only a guess) [21:26] nah it's tongue-in-cheeck bad english for "make something into a script" [21:26] compare "embiggen" from an episode of the simpsons [21:54] That's a perfectly cromulent word! [21:58] Yes, fairly sure it's a play off embiggen [22:03] that's what I read, yeah [22:03] it's covered in the faq or the docs somewhere [22:04] or maybe there was a mailing list post [22:04] Thank goodness I nearly never have to answer why I name half my things [22:24] :) [22:25] I am in the process of moving machines; FOS as we know it going away. [22:25] This will be a huge pain in the ass. [22:26] The only saving grace is that the machines are up simultaenously. [22:33] Vito`: I'm just going to respond here. [22:48] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?format=default&id=753184 [22:49] embiggen reference wins [23:02] So, as you've by no doubt figured out by now - the field of video game preservation is kind of a mess, and we're one of the vanguards of it; we're literally in the elite corps of folks doing anything tangible. [23:02] (Sorry, got pulled away there.) [23:02] I am wondering if you mean video game HISTORY or in actual preservation of old video games. [23:03] Very few formal groups. Strong Museum of Play, UTexas, Stanford, etc. And almost all are interested or functioning in game as artifact. [23:03] Attempts to gather interviews are almost always being done randomly. [23:03] As a result, Kevin Savetz' anthropological interviews stand as a massive set. [23:04] https://archive.org/details/ANTIC_podcast [23:04] If you're looking for something specific, I can see what I can find. [23:05] for what it's worth, one of my 13,000,000 side projects is this collection: https://archive.org/details/softwarepreservation [23:18] Oh you're replying to my email gotcha [23:19] Yeah [23:19] I have gotten very behind on my mail. [23:19] I don't do very well on open-ended questions. not at all. [23:20] I will be in a better place once these documentary monkeys are off my back. [23:20] Endless stress. [23:22] So I have this mailbox of requests and I'm down to the largest ones that are basically projects in themselves. [23:23] I assume you're doing some sort of thing, based on your questions. [23:24] SketchCow: yeah, just looking for names and institutions doing actual preservation, so I can see what they've published and where, so I can see if those places will accept a paper from me [23:24] Not history, but archival/storage/emulation/presentation [23:27] Stiletto in #archiveteam would be a good one to ask, I think there was an EU government thing but I forget the url [23:27] all of the big orgs are pretty useless I think but if you just want to get something officially issued [23:29] yeah looking for an actual formal academic journal or conference proceeding to get something into [23:29] figure they probably also publish in humanities things not just library science [23:30] hence looking for people who would have published, so I can see where they've done so [23:37] You're going to keep finding it "scant" [23:39] (Spoiler? Spoiler.) [23:39] There's a number of books, but they generally talk about digital preservation. [23:39] And they will mostly mention us and EaaS [23:39] Welcome to the big leagues [23:40] okay, I'll start with those places and looking for the book and their authors [23:40] *books [23:42] thanks [23:54] there was the KEEP project which ran for three years then shut down [23:54] http://www.egdf.eu/17-2-2012-keep-final-conference/ [23:55] http://web.archive.org/web/20150308151240/http://www.keep-project.eu:80/ezpub2/index.php [23:55] yeah I think that's what I was thinking of [23:55] (their website is defunct) [23:55] (which is kinda ironic) [23:55] *** balrog sets mode: +oooo db48x DFJustin devesine godane [23:55] l o l [23:55] *** balrog sets mode: +ooo Lord_Nigh Rai-chan zino
