Nibble in Cyberspace: Digipres Adventures, Vol 1

In 2019 I was staying in Hamburg for a short amount of time while I was waiting for my Canadian visa. It was around the time of the iPRES digital preservation conference and I was only a few hours away. While I hoped my work would send me it was not going to be my year. I then hoped I would take myself there anyway by writing a computer game; inspired by Board Games sessions in 2017 and 2018. Alas, that didn’t work out either, but I did end up with a piece of work I am still very proud of.

Shattering the eyeglass: Using Kaitai Structs to dissect the eyeglass’ contents

In my post from 2012: Genesis of a File Format, I created a new file format – the Eyeglass file format. The format provides a mechanism to persist information about a patient’s eye health following a checkup at an opticians. Today in 2023 we can use the format to understand how to make use of Kaitai Structs for understanding file formats.

Given the disclaimer that I am not actually an optician and that the format is purely illustrative, let’s look at the eyeglass again below.
