A statement from our Founder Fremont 🏴‍☠️
I am not a billionaire or a millionaire but I realized driving home tonight from work that I am part of the tech broligarchy. And I should be. I was there in the early dawn glow www 1.0 and now I’m here building my own. We built something we 💙 and I’m super stoked to share with folks soon. 🏴‍☠️

Our work and bootstrapping would be infinitely harder if it were not for my recent career alignment as Archivist and Director for OPUS Archives

Certify and publish the ERA

Certify and publish the ERA
This is indeed an upsetting note from US Archivist Colleen Shogan saying that she can't publish the ERA as Gillibrand recommends.

As a reminder, here's the last time I remember Shogan making the news: hyperallergic.com/964484/us-ar...

Archivists and Librarians still use TIFF for digitized textual documents

PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version specialized for use in archiving and long-term preservation of digital documents

Creating a PDF/A on PC eludes me

💡They're easily created with  Preview via File > Export

For reference, ISAD-G is inclusive of 152 countries and their primary spoken/written language.

Though it does still leave us with 59 countries that are not represented.

It’s a solidly respectable start from our perspective.
ISAD-G is now hosted on GitHub in 17 languages, v1 includes simple wikis with PDFs:

Hello Dr. Manoff. Welcome!

What a teeny tiny little world. I cited your work on materiality in grad school working on my MLS. We exchanged a couple emails.

Happy holidays season

As part of building our FACTool we designed it with a simple integration to link to your digital artifacts

Beware of Dropbox and monthly/annual cloud providers. They are digital shoeboxes.

I have lost the vast trove of my files during migration to iCloud 🧶

Cottagecore Animated Genesis was created in late Spring 2022

Analog art work on paper and Bach Musette in D Major played on a C.B. Fisk organ reformatted to digital and manually animated

A last of its kind before the new AI dawn that November ✏️ 🤖 🏴‍☠️

What a wonderful delightful roadmap we have in store for folks

It all begins with our FACTool

If you don’t count it beginning with the art of Jennifer Paul, which it does (check out at fremontprojects.com)

Dear History Professors in USA and Canada,

Someday soon you will receive an email from Tiny Archives. We ask you please to share it with your students. We are going to capture and secure history. Folks can enter their own documented selves and each others into the historic record. 🦃 🏴‍☠️

Tiny Archives wishes for everyone a peaceful and relaxing day of thanks 🦃🍠🥔

As Founder, I hope Craig has kept his personal archives (analog and digital) and will be one of our early adopters from the tech community

He’s up there on my “hit list” of tech leaders

As a CL user since my C|Net news(dot)com days (‘97-‘98) that would be beyond awesome and excellent
I 💙 Craig Newmark now more than ever

Stoked to see him/you here

And ❤️‍🔥 your pigeon thugeon poasts!
The lower pigeon works for Ghost Faced, he's a thug pigeon, or as they say, a "thigeon"

As a non-engineer technologist Founder I know another essential thing

When our system is FUBAR and my gut knows it's a tiny thing to fix, get our engineers together on a call and they will find and fix the problem, and we will be unFUBAR again 🏴‍☠️
As a non-engineer technologist Founder I know one essential thing

If even one character in our code is wrong Mr. Bojangles will not dance 💻🤖💃🏻
Engineers checked and confirmed

Login api is failing

Connection to the api is failing

Checked with Devops as there might be an issue with the deployed code

Founder flow remained cool

Brought team onto 1 call

They figured it out in less than 10 minutes
