ICYMI: 
How did light shape religious experience in ancient Mesopotamian temples?
We investigated this by reconstructing and analysing lighting conditions in four common types of sacred architecture from the ancient Near East.
Using standardised 3D models, we simulated how natural light entered temple spaces.

@gutenberg_org @internetarchive is anyone doing anything about the idea of including the codec with the scan for future future generations? I love digital archiving but at the same time there are already videos in my own archive that I can no longer easily decode.

@mxp This looks interesting in the context of debates surrounding digital archaeology vs computational archaeology too ...
The Archaeology Data Service has vacancies for two Digital Archives Assistants.
These are entry-level trainee posts for early career candidates. An archaeology degree or similar is desirable but not required; similarly experience in working in the historical environment or digital preservation sector is desirable but not essential.
See https://jobs.york.ac.uk/vacancy/digital-archives-assistant-575720.html for details and application.
Closing date 12th January 2025.
I once again went looking for the lost Smiley ASCII programs from 1999.
I got a little closer this time, finding yet another early website of mine that had hosted the files but alas the IA indexer couldn't collect the files because they were behind a cgi-bin hosted script.
I'm now digging out old hard drives of mine to find my physical backup of these 25 year old files.
It's going to be here somewhere!

"What is important to us? How and why do we decide what to keep—and what do we let go? And how will future generations make sense of what we’re able to save?"
“Welcome to the challenge of every historian, archaeologist, novelist,” says Genevieve Bell, a cultural anthropologist. “How do you make sense of what’s left? And then how do you avoid reading it through the lens of the now?”
Postdoctoral position in Archaeological Network Research at University of Aarhus, working on an interdisciplinary collaboration to create the first computational workflow for reconstructing past social networks from material culture data.
Closing date for applications: 15 Sept 23:59 CEST; start date 1 Nov.

And how did I find out that the issue was not the Xtra itself, but a missing dependency in form of a non-existing codec?
Easy, just look up the exact Xtra name and find the documentation including the system requirements on the Xtra’s developer website which by pure luck is still online.
#digitalarchaeology and games #preservation can be… fun.
If you want to see how an #emulator works, but only have the time to read 100 lines of #Javascript, I have you covered!
This shows you how the SSEM, aka Manchester Baby, worked.
