RAMBLES FROM MY CHAIR: Frogs

COLLECTED BY

Organization: Archive Team

BERJAYA

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.

The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.

This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.

Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.

The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

Of blogs and frogs and things getting in the way...

I schedule many of my posts so they are written in advance and are posted just after Midnight (BST). This means not having to worry about meeting my target of one or two posts a day. If I schedule one in advance it also leaves me free to write and add another one thereby giving the Blog a bit of spontaneity.

Sometimes the scheduling is only a few hours in advance, others may be written days in advance with a few of them stacked up ready to be posted.

At the moment I have hardly any scheduled ones. It’s more like Scrambling from my Chair! I obviously need to sit down at the computer and spend a few hours preparing some. But things keep getting in the way.

I had planned to do some yesterday but my fishpond with its newly arrived fish decided to spring a leak so it was a merry day emptying out water, stones and fish, re-lining and then filling up with stones, water and, oh yes, the fish... I had forgotten how heavy water can be when you are talking about many gallons of the stuff.... Meanwhile, no sooner had I put a bit of water in the new liner than a frog jumped down into the pond. Then another...

Hopefully I shall get some blogs done today....
