Old CCC archives?

[Zach Wegner]

I know the old CCC archives are available at stmintz.com, but the search function is very rudimentary. It would also be nice to have them offline. I know the archives used to exist on Bob's FTP, but I don't know where to find them anymore. Does anybody have them, or at least most of them?

Additionally, does anybody have any of the old programming posts here that were deleted due to the disk space issue?

[Ovyron]

the search function is very rudimentary.

Have you tried using Google search on stmintz.com?

[Zach Wegner]

Yes, but most of it isn't indexed, very few results, similar to the regular search.

I'm looking for CCC archives too but preferably in text format ; it should a 100 MB rar files.
If someone have them please, answer me !

I have them. Actually i have all the archives that were available at the old Dann's site where he collected them.
They date from September 22, 1997 to March 07, 2006.

Obviously i've downloaded them from Dann's old site.
I looked in the new one(http://dcorbit2008.corporate.connx.com/) but didn't find them.

The size of them(NOT-Compressed) is:
Size: 1.14 GB
Size on the disc: 2.35 GB

I don't really understand what the second filesize is for, but i think the real size is the first.

[Vinvin]

I have them.

Great to see that they are not lost !

The size of them(NOT-Compressed) is:
Size: 1.14 GB
Size on the disc: 2.35 GB

I don't really understand what the second filesize is for, but i think the real size is the first.

Second size is the real space occupied on your disk : there are lost space because of the clustering of the disk.
Compressed with 7zip or RAR this sould be a about 100 MB file (not with zip because it left lost space too).

Could you share it ?

Great! Maybe it would be best to put them up as a Bittorrent file, as there's a lot of people that I guess want them and it's rather big bandwidth-wise. Bittorrent goes fast!

Thank you very much Dann! I was excited when your website came back up, because I was looking for these, but I didn't find them. Thanks for putting them back up!

And a little script, to save some work for my Unix friends:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/ksh

get()
{
    ftp "http://cap.connx.com/ccc-archives/$1"
}

year=1997
month=9
while [ $year -le 2005 ]
do
    while [ $month -le 12 ]
    do
        if [ $month -lt 10 ]
        then
            pre=0
        else
            pre=
        fi
        get "m${year}.${pre}${month}.zip"
        month=$((month + 1))
    done
    year=$((year + 1))
    month=1
done

month=1
days[1]=31
days[2]=28
days[3]=7
while [ $month -le 3 ]
do
    day=1
    while [ $day -le ${days[$month]} ]
    do
        if [ $day -lt 10 ]
        then
            pre=0
        else
            pre=
        fi
        get "d1060${month}${pre}${day}.zip"
        day=$((day + 1))
    done
    month=$((month + 1))
done

Sort of a micromax precursor. While it's definitely not as good in Elo / characters, it's better in Elo / (characters * age). This was written when I was in my junior year of highschool, 15 or 16.

Other cool things: it displays the board, has sort of a user interface, no preprocessor. I used to have a better/smaller version, as well as an Xboard adapter, but those are lost...

Thanks again Dann!
