| 06:15:00 | <godane> | SketchCow: you may want to mirror this: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ |
| 06:15:00 | <godane> | there is lots of stuff there |
| 08:32:00 | <underscor> | Quiet channel lately |
| 08:59:00 | <SketchCow> | What! |
| 08:59:00 | <SketchCow> | It was rocking all weekend, buddy. |
| 18:58:00 | <chronomex> | we had a party while your parents were out |
| 18:59:00 | <SketchCow> | balrog says not to open the laundry basket, just dump the whole thing in the washing machine |
| 19:00:00 | <underscor> | Hahahahaha |
| 19:00:00 | <underscor> | Jason never fails to brighten my day |
| 19:41:00 | <kennethre> | need any help with webshots? |
| 19:41:00 | <kennethre> | i really need to make just a generic heroku-warrior |
| 19:41:00 | <SketchCow> | I want you to learn Javascript. Is that so hard? |
| 19:41:00 | <kennethre> | SketchCow: JS goes against everything I believe in :) |
| 19:41:00 | <kennethre> | emulation has always been a big part of my life though, so i would consider |
| 19:42:00 | <kennethre> | i fully appreciate the importance of the project |
| 19:47:00 | <nintendud> | kennethre: while that may be true (for both of us), it's here to stay :| |
| 19:47:00 | | kennethre is sadly playing the new pokemon game right now |
| 19:48:00 | | nintendud almost purchased that, but wouldn't have time to play |
| 19:48:00 | <kennethre> | same, but i fly a lot |
| 19:48:00 | <kennethre> | so i'll play it on planes |
| 19:48:00 | <nintendud> | Nice. Maybe I'll purchase it before I fly in a few weeks. |
| 19:50:00 | <kennethre> | i haven't really played since the red and blue remakes |
| 19:50:00 | <nintendud> | ahhh. I have HeartGold. Still haven't beaten vit. |
| 19:50:00 | <kennethre> | it's surprisingly good so far |
| 19:50:00 | <nintendud> | it* |
| 19:50:00 | <kennethre> | they polished the whole experience quite a bit |
| 19:50:00 | <kennethre> | very streamlined |
| 19:51:00 | <nintendud> | Yeah, I bet. |
| 19:51:00 | <nintendud> | How many games do you need to collect 'em all, I wonder? |
| 19:51:00 | <kennethre> | dozens and dozens |
| 20:11:00 | <joepie91> | kennethre: I missed most of the conversation due to my connection sucking balls, what was it about? it seems interesting |
| 20:14:00 | <SmileyG> | lol pokemon |
| 20:15:00 | <SmileyG> | i don't get it really, all the games seem to be the same thing over again? |
| 20:15:00 | <joepie91> | well - looks like I'm not going to get any work done tonight... |
| 20:15:00 | <joepie91> | screw this ISP |
| 20:16:00 | <joepie91> | SmileyG: I missed bits and pieces so I may have an incorrect idea of the conversation, but I saw something about purchasing something, and something about javascript - how's that related to pokemon? ._. |
| 20:16:00 | <DFJustin> | well there's always a new generation of 10-year-olds |
| 20:16:00 | <SmileyG> | DFJustin: then it makes sense |
| 20:17:00 | <SmileyG> | but i mean the people who continue to buy it... |
| 20:17:00 | <SmileyG> | joepie91: :( |
| 20:35:00 | <SketchCow> | Ha ha, once again we're going to flood FOS |
| 20:35:00 | <SketchCow> | This time with Webshots. |
| 20:35:00 | <SketchCow> | The data is FLYING in. |
| 20:35:00 | <SmileyG> | :D |
| 20:36:00 | <SmileyG> | nooooooooo i dropped another place :( |
| 20:41:00 | <nintendud> | at this rate, I'm going to drop off the leaderboard |
| 20:41:00 | <nintendud> | excellent |
| 20:51:00 | <bsmith095> | if anyone's running this on ec2, a micro instance is fine, hook a fairly large ebs storage to that 50 -100gb, and watch the outgoing bandwidth. also, charging for disk I/O is STUPID, they charge for usage hours, and storage, and bandwidth, already why charge for io? |
| 20:53:00 | <alard> | To give you an incentive to optimise your io? |
| 20:55:00 | <nintendud> | I've never used EC2 before. I notice for micro instances, they charge hourly. Does that include all bandwidth, or is there a surcharge for going over some amount? |
| 20:55:00 | <godane> | i have check in up to episode 120 of no bs podcast |
| 20:56:00 | <bsmith095> | free tier rocks, "aws free" |
| 20:56:00 | <nintendud> | 15GB is nothing though |
| 20:58:00 | <nintendud> | oh, I see |
| 20:58:00 | <nintendud> | they have the data transfer prices lower |
| 20:58:00 | <nintendud> | on the page |
| 20:59:00 | <oli> | better off getting a low end vps |
| 20:59:00 | <oli> | from some offer on lowendbox.com |
| 20:59:00 | <oli> | tons of providers there where yu can push a lot of data in and out for very low price |
| 20:59:00 | <nintendud> | yeah, that's expensive. Unless I'm mathing wrong, they charge $120 for 1TB of bandwidth out? |
| 21:00:00 | <nintendud> | anyway, I was just looking. |
| 21:01:00 | <oli> | i havent done the sums, but they are expensive :p |
| 22:25:00 | <dashcloud> | so for sending boxes of manuals and software to scan/host at the Internet Archive, what's the address to use? do I need to address to it to anyone? |
| 22:30:00 | <underscor> | dashcloud: If it's specifically for SketchCow, I'd defer to him, but the general donation address is |
| 22:31:00 | <underscor> | June Goldsmith |
| 22:31:00 | <underscor> | Media Donations |
| 22:31:00 | <underscor> | Internet Archive |
| 22:31:00 | <underscor> | 300 Funston Ave |
| 22:31:00 | <underscor> | San Francisco, CA 94118 |
| 22:34:00 | <dashcloud> | here's the list- http://pastebin.com/pKD29tbF I would think most of them could be hosted there |
| 22:36:00 | <underscor> | oh yeah, we're definitely interested |
| 22:36:00 | <underscor> | I would ping SketchCow to see if he has some special thing for manual donations |
| 22:36:00 | <underscor> | but if not, the above address is cool |
| 23:46:00 | <SketchCow> | What |
| 23:49:00 | <SketchCow> | If you send things to the archive it will be months or years before it's scanned. |
| 23:50:00 | <dashcloud> | okay- I am glad to know that |
| 23:51:00 | <dashcloud> | so just mail to you and you'll take it from there? |
| 23:52:00 | <SketchCow> | Well, you're more likely to see it scanned. |
| 23:52:00 | <SketchCow> | There's some prelim discussion of an Internet Archive scanner coming to my house. |
| 23:52:00 | <dashcloud> | whoa! |
| 23:52:00 | <SketchCow> | Yeah, then fuck you clowns, I will blacken the internet's sky with PDFs |
| 23:53:00 | <dashcloud> | so would you have a quota to fulfill per week or something to keep it near you? |
| 23:53:00 | <SketchCow> | Yes |
| 23:53:00 | <SketchCow> | And operation. |
| 23:53:00 | <SketchCow> | No, I'd need to take it for a summer and put people in my house. |
| 23:54:00 | <dashcloud> | I'm working on grabbing lots of service manuals from the major laptop companies currently- Dell, HP/Compaq for the moment |
