edit: if you use this, add a sleep! whoops. i didn't get banned though, shrug.
- pronoiac 17y agoWarrick works better for that, at least: http://warrick.cs.odu.edu/warrick.html http://warrick.cs.odu.edu/warrick.html It sleeps in between queries, so you don't get temporarily banned from Google. I think it's not currently working for Yahoo or MSN/Bing. Fixing that might be easier than doing everything else manually. Edit: I've gotten a response from Frank McCown, creator of Warrick, that he's looking into it. Edit 2: He'll try to update it next week.

- tectonic 17y agoWarrick looks like exactly what he needs.
- pvg 17y agoHis biggest problem appears to be the images (and possibly other resources included in the pages). It's pretty much a given he'll be able to recover the text itself.
- rayvega 17y agoThe permanent loss of the images makes it a greater tragedy since half the content in any given post of his consists of images.
- pvg 17y agoThere are many, many images in the pinboard archive, a couple of hundred posts' worth. I don't know if he also has other sources from which to retrieve them, he doesn't seem to have grabbed them from pinboard yet. But a good chunk of his stuff will be recovered, images and all.

- bmm6o 17y agoHe wrote a blog post (maybe more than one) about how he was hosting his images from Amazon S3. Did he not follow through, or did he switch away from that?
