A reminder that we still have a #DPC #digipres job vacancy open for a Preservation Registry Analyst. Just a couple of weeks left to apply for this one! https://www.dpconline.org/news/job-vacancies/dpc-preservation-registry-analyst

While #Psion in the early 90s seems to have used the same Word template for writing their public #documentation, there doesn't seem to have been a consistent "style guide."

Different parts of the SDK have clearly been written by different people. The HDK is not as polished. The 3a Programming Manual is different again, both in voice and in its heavy use of bold and italics.

As I go through the documents converting them to AsciiDoc, I wonder how much I should "tidy" the text.

Hi all of you,
I am wondering how you solve or ignore 😁 this jpylyzer warning when you validate a jp2 file

<isValid format="jp2">False</isValid> <containsWellformedXML>False</containsWellformedXML> ?

Thanks in advance

haven't done one of these in a while ... so on my work agenda today:

1. attend info-meeting about #vBIB where my @tibhannover colleagues inform about what the event is. my colleague @dasfrottier has been thinking about handing something #digipres related in for a while

2. check format library update on our production environment

3. organize line-up for #ipres2023 bake-off participants

At our #DPC event on persistent identifiers we are now hearing from @mpe who is talking from the perspective of Crossref and highlights the importance of #digipres for making persistent identifiers work effectively. https://www.dpconline.org/events/eventdetail/191/-/choosing-and-using-persistent-identifiers

At the #DPC today we celebrate the public launch for our new guidance note on Persistent Identifiers: http://doi.org/10.7207/twgn23-02 #digipres @general

@sam You might like to dip into papers presented at iPres 2020 in Glasgow. The conference theme was about the environmental consequences of #digipres, with some great research and insights presented. #iPres

It's a daunting task to make such an archive usable online.

Over on Break Into Chat, I've added a special collection of eight club newsletters from the Atari Computer Enthusiasts of St. Louis (ACE-St. Louis).

My dad and I were on-and-off members of this club in the early 1990s, and eventually I became a disk librarian and a newsletter contributor.
