She was such a giver with the provocateuse sites. It makes me wistful that we couldn't find a way to keep paying for them and keep them up. Strange to find that the internet is actually quite ephemeral.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

ita's thread
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Gone but not forgotten.
There are saved copies of provocateuse available from The Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We really need to do something to preserve those. I'm willing to help.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
What do we need to do to make that happen? I would love to help but have no idea how to start.

Hey. New board.
I bet you could do it using something like HTTrack. I would be willing to host it. I can play with that later, perhaps.

Hey. New board.
or somebody could try to figure out how to work Warrick [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Looks like Warrick is Linux/Unix only, but I couuld try HTTrack this weekend.

Hey. New board.
HTTrack is working for me, but it's going to save it in a really weird, disorganized way because of the way the wayback machine works (each file has its date built in as part of the URL, so I'm getting hundreds of "sites" each of which is a date stamp).
There are websites for pay that might be able to do it better. But I think they may count each subdomain as a different "site" and charge $7+ per site. So that would get moderately pricy.
I think Warrick looks like a really good option. Unfortunately, my current linux boot disk can't detect my wireless card, so I can't really try it out!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We could ask in Tech if anyone has a Linux install. Or did it also say it worked in OSX?

Hey. New board.
I will play with it tonight. If I can't get it working I bet a Linux guru elsewhere on the board can.
