The thought just occurred to me that I should probably update the Cable Bible for USB 3.2, 4.0, and Thunderbolt 4, but since there's been no changes to the connectors at all I'm considering just listing them with a caption that says "you're on your own"

NYU Web Publishing blocked public access to Savannah Campbell's old student blog (i mean I get locking her out from the admin controls after graduating, I guess, but lolwut?) so I worked with her and Ben Turkus to get the content back and up on The Patch Bay.

First one here, links through to the other two:

There are the usual digital archivist job posting things that give me pause here, but my wife works for Five Colleges Inc and pretty closely with this unit, and says Smith is up to some exciting stuff (and is/has been hiring other staff and diverting resources to make sure this person is supported).

I bet some super cool stuff can happen with the BitCurator distro just with a few people clearly defined to guide and pull in changes! maybe other folks here have capacity (hah)

@sam @VickyRampin did a guest lecture recently and realized outside of any visuals that I directly discuss/point to, all my "good" slides are actually just speaker notes for myself anyway? gonna chop a ton out next time, pretty sure most students only want them for links to further/associated resources if at all

This is a new one

This was a hard one! The latest EaaSI training module (attempts) to explain Emulation-as-a-Service as a platform/software stack, and some of the key pieces and tweaks the EaaSI program has made to it
