What a way to close out 2017! My very last photo uploaded to flickr made it into flickr explore. Like usual, the notification of being added to the group to tracks photos In Explore came in after midnight. I grabbed a screen shot on my phone while it was still visible above the fold: Another […]
Archiving and digital legacy [ought] to be in the air. The bava has been at it; Jim has been cleaning up his pile pf past webs, like an abandoned Known and the OpenVA web site. He’s been writing about Archiving his Digital Past and the concept of an Archive of One’s Own. I’ve been harping […]
My first resolution shall be to never again trying using a regular expression in a blog post title. And my syntax for counting matches is a bit problematic. Later today I will add the 11th flickr album set to this collection In theory my lame regex should find all the album titles in the form […]

Can you imagine what would happen to Georgia Tech courses if a Category 4 hurricane slammed the state, leaving its inhabitants flooded, […]
Yikes, I am a month behind in blogging. I loathe back blogging. No one, of course really cares. Well I do. But the rest of my trip on Australia, the part following the part of the trip for the ISS Institute fellowship are needing this reflection. I could have zipped home after my two weeks, […]
I swear I am not a compulsive organizer. The spice rack is not alphabetical, the books and albums on the shelf are not arranged in any bibliographic schema, and I have several drawers crammed full of random stuff. But when it comes to my photos? Guilty. The end of 2018 will complete my 10th year […]
