Archiving web-sites
by Leslie Tkach 04 Oct '02

04 Oct '02

Hello to all, I am surprised that no one has suggested "Offline Explorer" for archiving web-sites, which is what I have used for the past three years. It is available at: http://www.metaproducts.com/ I have found it reliable and the support to be very helpful. In my research, the site structure tends to be *very* deep, sometimes up to 7 or 8 levels. OE handles it very well, and the settings are quite detailed. Good luck with your research. Best regards, L.M. Tkach-Kawasaki Ph.D. Candidate University of Tsukuba Tsukuba, Japan

Danyel noted: > The canonical software to powerfully archive sites is WGET ("the same > thing the internet archive uses"). need to dig into it a bit further, but it seems almost perfect... it however doesn't appear to be able to follow and archive pages hidden behind javascript pop-up code. any inside hints or tips about that?

Archiving web sites
by Danyel Fisher 03 Oct '02

The canonical software to powerfully archive sites is WGET ("the same thing the internet archive uses"). It's a command line, which means you might do a little more work up front, but you can save it as a batch file and do it automatically. The site for it all is at http://wget.sunsite.dk/ with documentation at http://www.gnu.org/manual/wget/ In particular, it has a feature known as "recursive retrieval", in which it follows links. Note it has a few specific sections that may be of particular use: * It can go recursively by typing -r * By default, it always retrieves from exactly one site * If you give it -Ddomain it retrieves from only that domain. So, let's say you just want to grab a single web page. wget http://fly.cc.fer.hr/ does it. Now, let's say you've typed up a little file with the list of all URLs you want to get. wget -i filelist does it. Let's say you want the top three levels below http://www.aoir.org wget -r -l3 http://www.aoir.org

getting full mime source from Outlook 2000
by Frank Schaap 03 Oct '02

03 Oct '02

On another note, does anyone know how to extract a message's full MIME source from Outlook 2000? The IT department forced this monster on us, but I can't even seem to get the full source of messages out of this thing to report spam. (PS I don't mean just the headers, but the full MIME source of the _whole_ message.) TIA Frank. -- Fragments Blog: http://fragment.nl/ Cyberculture Resources: http://fragment.nl/resources/

Draft SIX - that's it!
by Charles Ess 02 Oct '02

02 Oct '02

Colleagues: I'm pleased to say, thanks especially to the quick work of Jeremy Hunsinger, and the continued sharp eyes of the aoir ethics working committee, that we now have on the web the version of the ethics document that we would like for aoir folk to review and consider for adoption in Maastricht. http://www.aoir.org/reports/ethicsfinal.pdf clicking this link will result in the downloading of a PDF file - 365K, so watch out. (I regret that the conversion process from Word to PDF resulted in a change in pagination, so that the page numbers in the opening table of contents are not accurate. We'll see what we can do...) More on this soon. In the meantime, the ethics working committee warmly invites aoir members to our roundtable on Wednesday, October 16, at noon, where members of the committee will be happy to take up your questions and comments regarding the draft. As always, my thanks to the committee for their continued hard work. The resulting document, I think it is fair to say, is most worthy of aoir's attention and, I believe, its support. With all best wishes, Charles Ess Director, Interdisciplinary Studies Center Drury University 900 N. Benton Ave. Voice: 417-873-7230 Springfield, MO 65802 USA FAX: 417-873-7435 Home page: http://www.drury.edu/ess/ess.html Co-chair, CATaC 2002: http://www.it.murdoch.edu.au/~sudweeks/catac02/ Exemplary persons seek harmony, not sameness. -- Analects 13.23

Away messages on IM
by Naomi Susan Baron 02 Oct '02

02 Oct '02

Does anyone know of research on the use of away messages in instant messaging? A class of mine is undertaking a research project on this phenomenon, and I'd be very interested to see what work (if any) has already been done. With thanks, Naomi Baron Professor of Linguistics American University Washington, DC
