takeout.google.com

I have some photos-takeout-20230630T070258Z-001.zip ... presumably created when Google announced they would do cannot-remember-what to their albums service.

  • it has multiple folders for the same blog, with date tags.
  • it has 3030 files total. There are 30 pair of duplicates
  • it finds some duplicates between files, but always in the same folder, like 2007-02-04-Bilou_s Book/biokid-4-superjump.png and the same folder with biokid-4-superjump(1).png
  • all the files have the same date as the archive. Proper timestamps will have to be looked up into companion .json files
  • there's obviously a maximum filename esp. for screenshots (40 characters ?)
  • The date in the folder name seems to be album creation time. For this blog, I have 2007, 2011, 2021 and 2023
  • There isn't any file with timestamp earlier than 2007. So where are the pictures from 2006 ? like http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5640/3676/320/indigo-hints.png or http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5640/3676/320/blending-example.png ? Apparently in another castle.
  • The oldest entry for which images are available is http://sylvainhb.blogspot.com/2007/03/vous-courriez-jen-suis-fort-aise-eh.html http://sylvainhb.blogspot.com/2007/02/pour-faire-un-aarbreeeuu.html (unfortunately, that's missing the pictures-heavy http://sylvainhb.blogspot.com/2007/02/un-arbre-cachant-la-fort.html)
  • whole chunks (like everything 2014 Q4) is missing

Got a new takeout today, of Blogger data. This one is bigger. 800+ MB while the previous was about 200 MB.

  • timestamps are now only in milliseconds-since-epoch format
  • time span between oldest and latest timestamps is 6284 days... about 17.2 years
  • 5640 files for this blog (plus .json descriptors) and 2513 duplicates set... that means about every picture has a duplicate :-/
  • it seems to have some of the missing files mentioned earlier, like bladorstack
  • still no indigo-hints.png or blending-example.png, unfortunately T_T

I'll have to dig that more. I'll have to merge that with the "blogpress" tools and possibly make myself a "blogger taken out dashboard".

Le retour du bureau !

Enfin ... Le bloc-prise sur lequel mon bureau devait être branché est enfin réparé. Et c'était une bêtise en plus, au point que je me demande comment j'ai pu ne pas le trouver tout seul.

Difficile de comprendre à quel point ça me fait du bien qu'il revienne se mettre à l'emplacement qui est naturel pour moi, dans l'angle qui est naturel pour moi. Mes p'tites affaires juste là où je veux.

Bon, évidemment j'ai plein de cartons avec des affaires pas-encore-rangées à répartir demain ^^". Et ça en plus des inévitables cartons de ma fée entre deux activités.

this is the right place for quickstuff
