Tyler's Halloween Matryoshka Dolls represent the internal complexities of container file formats. The dolls here have formats attached to them representing different ways they might be nested, with ZIP and OLE2 being the primary containers that can be handled in DROID and Siegfried at present.

A year in file formats 2024

A great write up from Francesca at TNA about the past year for PRONOM via Georgia at the OPF.

It’s great to see the continuing work including vital translation of guides into other languages. Francesca includes a couple of shout outs to some pieces I have contributed in my spare time this year; including a collaborative workshop with Francesca, David, and Tyler at iPRES2024.

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.
