[Ldsoss] Archiving Our Electronic Lives

2006-04-05 Thread Steven H. McCown
Over at slashdot, there is a thread about passing our electronic artifacts down 
to posterity (http://slashdot.org/~eldavojohn/journal/132841).  

Not trying to start a discussion about rifles, have any of you been working 
anything novel in this regard?

I've picked up a new hobby of hard binding books by hand.  When I've got 
enough material ready to bind on my computer, I lump it into a single 
file and organize it using OpenOffice.  Then I save it to a pdf.  After 
that, I use KPDF (and some print filters) to print it as several PDF 
files organized as the "signatures" of a book.  Then when I'm ready to 
bind it as a book, I print out the signatures to hard copy and bind up 
the book.  Electronic formats come and go and are still in a very high 
state of flux.  Books have been around for centuries and will last for a 
few more centuries still.  I find that this is the best way for me to 
preserve my electronic artifacts.  Plus, if it is done the right way, it 
only costs a little for all of the materials involved--including the 
glue and equipment.

That's interesting.  Do you use any kind of special paper or printer
that archives better?  Why book binding in particular?  Wouldn't just
a three ring binder be a lot easier?  I'm thinking that'd be easier to
get the pages out to feed into a scanner to be re-imported into
digital format down the road someday?

I just re-read the above and realized it could come off as me being
sarcastic, but I'm not.  I'm really curious.

At least half joking now, wouldn't it be even cooler to engrave it on
metal instead of printing it on flimsy paper?

Just a heavy bond, acid free paper in an auto-duplexing laser printer.  
That's usually enough to last for a very long time.
Why book binding in particular?  
It lasts a long time and when you know what is involved, it is actually 
kind of a relaxing activity (at least for me).  Some people work with 
wood to relax.  I bind books.

Wouldn't just
a three ring binder be a lot easier?  I'm thinking that'd be easier to
get the pages out to feed into a scanner to be re-imported into
digital format down the road someday?
  
Three ring binders are easier to put together and take apart to rescan; 
however, not as durable.  I've yet to have a three ring binder last more 
than 6 or 7 years before the rings fell out or the cover wore out.  I 
suppose if you put it flat on a shelf and leave it, it would last a lot 
longer.  At the same time, if you know how to bind a book, it's not that 
big of a deal to tear down a book, scan it, and then re-bind it in a new 
binding.

At least half joking now, wouldn't it be even cooler to engrave it on
metal instead of printing it on flimsy paper?
  
Yes and no.  Metal does last longer; however, given my metalworking 
skills, I would much rather bind a thousand pages per week in a format 
that lasts for a few hundred years than add 1 plate per week to the 
binding in a format that lasts for a few thousand years (not to mention 
how much more it costs to use a metal that wouldn't easily corrode).  
And my half-joking response: Why do you think that Mormon abridged the 
records with so few details about the history if the Nephites?  I 
wouldn't want to hand engrave all that stuff either.

There's a great article in the most recent edition of O'Reilly's Make 
magazine (issue 05, I think) on hand-binding books. They show how to 
hand-bind an issue of Make. I'd imagine there's also a slew of online

resources on how to do it as well. My wife for a family Christmas gift bound
up a short storybook she had written about her ancestors. The process 
isn't too difficult, but does take a fair amount of time (depending on how 
many you're making).


But I'm sure there would be plenty of interest in seeing a live 
demonstration.

Looking over my calendar for the next several months, I see that the 
most likely time I would have to demonstrate would probably be a 
Saturday in September or early October.  With my wife in school and 
working and me homeschooling, we're really busy right now.  My wife and 
I are going to a national competition in late June for a school team 
that she is on.  Until that is over, her team has a lot of practices and 
that leaves very little spare time (this is her second year going).  
After that, I have promised my kids that do a lot of fishing and camping 
this summer, which means we will be gone most weekends.  My wife is back 
in school in late August.  After we get back into a routine while she is 
in school and before midterms is usually our least busy time and I most 
likely could give a demonstration at that time of year.


On the other hand, if you wanted a demonstration sooner, we could try to 
find someone else that isn't quite so busy right now.  I am a member of 
the Yahoo! BookBinding group.  We could probably find someone local that 
might be willing to do a demonstration sooner than September.

This got me thinking.  I think a lot (while certainly not near all) of 
our members are currently living in Utah.  Would anyone be interested in 
having regular get-togethers or meetings where we can get to know one 
another, and perhaps share some of the things pertinent to the purposes 
of LDSOSS that our members are doing?  I don't think even monthly is 
necessary.  We could perhaps do quarterly get-togethers.


I don't want to neglect our members outside of Utah (we even have some 
outside of the US), so if you have any other suggestions, that would be 
nice.  I think this would be a good way to see what others are doing, 
and encourage all of us to get out and contribute to OSS.  Just some 
thoughts...

I don't want to neglect our members outside of Utah (we even have some
outside of the US), so if you have any other suggestions, that would be
nice.  I think this would be a good way to see what others are doing,
and encourage all of us to get out and contribute to OSS.  Just some
thoughts...

That's interesting.  Do you use any kind of special paper or printer

Just a heavy bond, acid free paper in an auto-duplexing laser
printer.  That's usually enough to last for a very long time.


I think a meeting is in order to learn how you do this newfangled
technology first hand. I'd love to learn how to bind a hard bound 
book.

fact the poster is not.)

Looking over my calendar for the next several months, I see that the
most likely time I would have to demonstrate would probably be a
Saturday in September or early October.  With my wife in school and
working and me homeschooling, we're really busy right now.  My wife
and I are going to a national competition in late June for a school
team that she is on.  Until that is over, her team has a lot of
practices and that leaves very little spare time (this is her second
year going).  After that, I have promised my kids that do a lot of
fishing and camping this summer, which means we will be gone most
weekends.  My wife is back in school in late August.  After we get
back into a routine while she is in school and before midterms is
usually our least busy time and I most likely could give a
demonstration at that time of year.

On the other hand, if you wanted a demonstration sooner, we could try
to find someone else that isn't quite so busy right now.  I am a
member of the Yahoo! BookBinding group.  We could probably find
someone local that might be willing to do a demonstration sooner than
September.
