I'd like to think my adding info about Aldous Huxley's MIT lectures on his Wikipedia last fall caused someone to request access recently https://archivesspace.mit.edu/repositories/2/resources/761

Some guy with a similar name to me has applied for 3 jobs recently but has used my email address... I assume this is from a typo and not identity theft 🤔

https://github.com/PDP-10/itstar I'm not too familiar with running C programs. I've tried running it as the readme suggests but either no command is found or it says "input/output error." I've also tried compiling it using gcc but that produces a number of "undefined reference" errors. I'm using Ubuntu btw

Now I'm seeing more than 2 tweets in the METS 🤔

I was processing some twitter JSON data files through Archivematica and when FITS/ExifTool was run I think it took the data from the first tweet in each file and interpreted it as metadata which in turn was written into the METS data about the file! Weird!

Cisco should make the AnyConnect and Webex logos more dissimilar so I don't start a conference call every time I want to connect to VPN

I guess they're just a UI for AWS now?

I asked Flickr if they could provide me with any info on the company's environmental sustainability plans, they pointed me to this link: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/sustainability/

I am so confused why this designer sent me their talk on typography? "Hi Joe, here's the link:" ... thank you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w59IJzKEk0

Was trying to find this article > https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-wednesday-edition-1.4942652/puma-brings-back-fitness-tracking-shoe-considered-useless-in-1986-1.4942653

and ended up finding this first 🤨 > https://www.amazon.com/Floppy-Funny-Running-Shoes-Lightweight/dp/B079N8KHQV

The Dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dûm:

Had our first user of the digital media transfer kits today, 5.25" floppy drive! 🎉 😻

Looking at fixity reports that say "OK MD5 [File name] [Hash]". Which got me thinking, which hashing algorithm would you consider as the equivalent to "Boomer"?

spending #WDPD2019 checking fixity for the 2nd storage migration in the two years I've been here 💓

TIL the tree command can output an html version of directory trees. Could be useful for researcher browsing!

This event[1] quotes a tweet[2] like it was some sort thing that sparked debate/impact... looking at the tweet it seems largely unrecognized. Quoting and citing is good but I find this instance strange

This sounds really cool! "The Rutgers-Camden Archive of Digital Ephemera Symposium (R-CADE) provides funds for hands-on research and creative activity with digital technologies. Accepted panels receive up to $1,000 for the purchase of hardware, software, and other materials. This year's theme is 'Repair'" http://rcade.camden.rutgers.edu/2020symposium.html
