On the topic of archiving comes a work//script that reflects the indexical notion of contemporary art (i.e. title+image) and the connected act of appropriation by means of data mining, spidering and semantic data extraction: vvork-bot.

I heard that Superbertram lost his visual memory a few days ago when Yahoo decided that he violated their terms of use and deleted his flickr account outright.


This made me once again think about the volatility of our means of storage and distribution. I myself ended up using flickr as my single place to put my camera images - the platform's approach towards organization and browsing (think tags..), the instant dissemination of the moments and aspects you capture and the possibility of ubiquitous access makes it just so much more appealing than having files laying around somewhere on an external hard drive.


I did a quick survey of existing tools for backing up flickr images, together with all the metadata and found surprisingly few.. FlickrEdit (formerly known as FlickrBackup) is a promising Java application but for me it always bailed out with a nondescript error after some hundred photos. There is also Net::Flickr::Backup a software in Perl, which I frankly just couldn't get to install.


So I decided to write a small web application in PHP using the API that also powers the aggregation of my flickr images on this website. flickdmp (download version 0.1) should be fairly easy to set up on most linux servers - see the detailed instructions in the readme file. This applications allows to asynchronously download all your account's pictures (public or private) to a privacy-protected directory on the server. Together with the photos, their metadata is stored in an RDF file. Also supported: incremental backups and the possibility to automatically change the image file's date to the date the picture was taken.


Enjoy..

The purpose of this project is to provide an emulation of the onboard Apollo guidance computers, along with some ancillary items needed to make the emulation do something interesting. "Interesting" is, of course, a subjective notion, and there are plenty of additional components one might want to add to the simulation to make it more interesting.
