a very specific digital preservation request:
this dvd of a wii room show called 修理、魅せます。was sent to a couple thousand winners of a nintendo contest
i'm trying to find (preferably) an iso, or perhaps a remux of the disc's contents. someone uploaded a copy to youtube as "the fascinating repairmen", but the quality is predictably horrendous.
i'd love to see this archived on IA.
Pushed my #writingmonth / #nanowrimo stuff on the local #Forgejo.
Also went digging through my old server's stuff and I found the git repository that has my NaNoWriMo 2010 project. So I now apparently have all repositories of my previous NaNo projects properly accounted for and on Forgejo!
Also the 2010 repository has some other random writing project stuff. How the heck do I open a Celtx file? I think it's an "open source" app that got *mercilessly* abandoned by the corp that made it.
Also to-do: that's a loooot of repositories in Darcs and Subversion format. Hell, a few in CVS format. Need to convert all of this stuff to git somehow. (...I hope Darcs is still convertable to Git. I *think* Subversion and CVS should be still convertable.)

Lo Wah Kiu (Workshop) / 老華僑劇場（系列工作坊).
Join for a participatory #theatre #workshop inspired by the work of #DowntownEastside #documentarian and organiser Sid Chow Tan! From organizing with the #Chinese #HeadTax and #ExclusionRedress movement to documenting countless actions against #gentrification and #displacement - Sid’s #art of #activism captured a spirit of class-consciousness, humour, and #solidarity. His vast archive depicts four decades of the struggles, victories, celebrations, and everyday lives of #DTES and #Chinatown communities and organisers. In these introductory workshops, participants will be introduced to theatre techniques that will connect themes from the Sid Tan archives to our lives and neighbourhood issues today.
Please note, these workshops are 3 hours long.
Free admission and no theatre experience necessary! Pre-registration required. Refreshments will be served. #Cantonese and #Mandarin interpretation will be provided. These workshops are presented with gratitude and in solidarity with the many friends, organisers, community television volunteers and staff who made possible the production, broadcast, and archive of Sid’s videos.
Saturday, November 8th, 4pm-7pm.
401 Main Street, #VancouverBC.

Some of the specific technologies mentioned go over my head, but I'm very much here for the engineering ideology.
Project of the day: dezoomify-rs downloads high resolution tiled images from online art publications.
Interesting blog post from #Preservation Manager, Ela Wiklo, about a new display of #archival materials at University of #Glasgow -- and why light and time matter.

In the fall of 1985, a small group of #Haida people stood on a muddy #logging road on #LyellIsland —and refused to move. What followed was a landmark act of peaceful #resistance that helped spark a nationwide reckoning around land, #sovereignty and #environmental #justice. Drawing from over a hundred hours of electrifying #archival footage, The Stand immerses us in the tension, #courage and quiet #humanity of that moment.
Directed by Christopher Auchter (Now Is the Time), the film honours the #Elders , #activists and supernatural spirits who helped shape a new future for the #HaidaNation — and for all of #Canada.

This feature-length #documentary reveals the unspoken truth about #war - it never really ends. #Archival images and personal stories portray the lingering devastation of war. Filmed on location in #Russia #France #Bosnia and #Vietnam the film features individuals involved in the cleanup of war: de-miners who risk their lives on a daily basis, psychologists working with distraught soldiers, and scientists and doctors who struggle with the contamination of dioxin used during Vietnam. Based on the Gelber Award-winning book by Donovan Webster, this film conveys the fact that war doesn't end when the fighting stops.
