I suppose since everyone here is talking about how their lives are going, I may as well add my voice to the conversation despite the fact I will be significantly less poetic and comparatively lacking in emotional intensity.
I have a new job which I've been working at for about a month and a half now. The hours are long which leaves me with little off time. The time I do have is mostly spend working on a number of projects which have been ongoing for some time now. Thus, I am worked to the bone and chronically sleep deprived. At the same time, my living situation is deteriorating and I will need to find a new place within the next few months. In that aspect, anything good must always be accompanied with something bad.
I have recently grown very annoyed with The Internet Archive. I noticed just today that a large number of my uploads have been deleted from the archive. This is frustrating since I tend to upload in bulk meaning noticing which of my hundreds of uploads are missing is a very difficult task. In the end, my only recourse is to reupload the files and hope they remain archived this time. While most of the things I upload are files I keep a local copy of, some are not since I do not have a large server to store files on. Some of the removed files are reuploads of content which have been censored or deleted so their removal from the archive is especially frustrating. In any case, these removals simply make me worried about our ability to maintain complete records and archives of history and serve to reinforce my view that all who wish to preserve history or online content maintain personal copies of their files rather than leaving it all to a third party such as The Internet Archive.
If you read this far, thank you and I hope you have a good day. I know that my stories do not align as closely with the normal discussions found here, but I still wish offer my perspective on the world and what's happening in it. Once again, have a good day, or at least a moment of calm.
