All 54 lost clickwheel iPod games have now been preserved for posterity Finding working copies of the last few titles was an “especially cursed” journey.

One of the coolest video game preservation stories I have ever covered arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...

Sorry to my coworkers who are just going to be greeted with "I DID IT" all day instead of "Hi" 😅

After 5 years I have solved a work mystery that involved many emails, a trip to the UK, and lots of eBay scouting. I'm so happy I could cry

Unfortunately I do think Google Lens is one of the most useful inventions we've made. Love being able to point at a cable and go "magic camera, identify!"

SAA 2025 - I am here, masked, and in a funky print dress! Say hi!
Also my presentation is at 1:15 this afternoon and it'd be cool to see some familiar faces 😊

Very important announcement: it appears the first Spirit Halloween stores are opening TODAY 🎃💀👻

I've said this before, but bless the hobbyists who tear down old tech to refurbish them and then puts the video of it on YouTube. Digital archivists everywhere bow down to you 🙏🏻

There's still a few disks I'm puzzling out, but it's getting the majority at the moment! 🦦

I have both a TEAC FD-235HG and HF, but so far I've only tested the HF with success.
Haven't tried any 5.25" drives yet, but I'm happy to let you know what I try!

Got a Greaseweazle, playing with previously unreadable disks, feeling like a goddess

Hitting the trifecta today: meetings in every major video conferencing platform (Teams, Zoom, WebEx) 🏆

It's been 5 years (more, but since everyone did it) and I still wave at the end of every Zoom/Teams call 😅

THANK YOU!! This is so helpful 🤗

Does anyone know what it's called when you see "word : word :: word : word" (normally about similes I think)?

Searching this has been reallly difficult surprisingly and I know it has to have a proper name out there.

Interesting - lots of files and versions to keep track of! I forsee an overhaul of how we do things in my future.

We normally restrict too, but this may be a special case. That's cool you have people who can/are willing to do that work!

Thanks! And enjoy your weekend! 😊

Was there a specific tool you used?
Yeah, from what I've looked into so far, it's a very manual process. And of course! We're also thinking about how/where to describe the changed file in the finding aid.

Oh wow! I'll bring it to the archivists and see what they think of that plan - they may be for it if it's a small enough amount 😅

Digital archives people - do you do redactions on your files, or do you fully restrict the files? Any tips on redaction tools if so? Also, do you note that the file has been redacted in your finding aids/description? #digitalArchives #digiPres

We normally restrict the whole file, but questioning if this is the best way to keep going or if we should switch paths

Does anyone know how to turn off Copilot in an institutional account? 😡

Especially hearing them stress about finding their projects last semester. Just really really cool.

And nice to catch up/say hi

Yesterday was the capstone poster exhibit and it was SO COOL to see my students from last semester's final projects 🥹

A history of the CD-ROM (CD-Hist) A research project at the intersection of media history, digital studies, the history of digital technology and media archaeology.

Sometimes I wonder who first said my favorite metaphor of "we are not dragons hoarding gold" re: archives and access, but I do love when it comes up #bdcam25

Floppy disk with a white sticker on it with conference name, sponsors, and attendee name. There is a clip attached to a lanyard in the top of the disk.

The badges are floppy disks. I repeat, the badges are floppy disks! #bdcam25 💾🤓

Is talking to a class at your alma mater a "made it" thing? Because if so, check ✅️

Apparently IT decided to do campus-wide DNS tests this week without telling anyone on campus 🤦🏻‍♀️

Uh...did the entire eduroam network just go down?
