What is "bit rot"? How safe are your data? Researching this for future episodes on the subject brought me to the Centre of Computing History in Cambridge www.computinghistory.org.uk where I talked to Adrian Page-Mitchell, who showed me a "decaying" laser disc (BBC Domesday project).

Despite a summer break, work on #code4thought continues. E.g. a recording with @jwbaker.bsky.social from the Uni Southampton where I went yesterday. James leads the digital humanities and we talked about the work they do. Will be out in autumn this year.

Who would I stumble across on a visit to the Centre Pompidou in Paris but a workshop on AI with one of the people from scikit-learn @gaelvaroquaux.bsky.social . Who I interviewed (with his colleagues) last year for an episode on #code4thought codeforthought.buzzsprout.com/1326658/epis...

J'ai eu le grand plaisir de rencontrer Guillaume Levrier à la @labnf.bsky.social pour un entretien sur un projet très intéressant: Pandorae . Le BnF (la Bibliothèque nationale de France François Mitterand à Paris est vraiment magnifique.

Simon Tournier is currently talking about an important package #guix at @fosdemresearch.bsky.social right now. We interviewed him for an episode on GUIX last year (episode is in French)

Saw that the team of the RSE competency workshop in Hannover #FSKomp24 were using some serious mics for the job. I like the Rode NT1 - got the 5th gen, which I use for podcast recordings (USB port only, though).

Just got back from a 3-day workshop in Hannover/Germany on how to boost skills in research software engineering #FSKomp24. One of the workshop teams was run by #deRSE, the German RSE assoc. There'll be a podcast episode #code4thought (in German) about it in Jan/25.
