Longstanding roles in digital curation, digital preservation, systems & digitization. Retweet = read later, like = like. I speak for myself and no one else

If we're leaving this EU thing should I bring a plate.......?

[Dave Thompson @d_n_t]

Is not the proof of successful #digitalpreservation that preserved #data can be used at some point in the future? This is a fascinating project and wonderfully demonstrates how objects can exist in multiple worlds in multiple contexts https://t.co/xToMkq6JWA

Margaret, from across the road (made me a cosy comfort blanket) made me a plate of jam tarts. Delicious. She is one of the heroes who is helping me overcome #cancer through the medium of baking!

Yay! #Bercow the #bat is out and about in the gloaming #Exeter

[Dave Thompson @d_n_t]

Yay! #Bercow the #bats is energetically flitting back and forth past our living room window. Go Bercow! Graduation into the ranks of guard bat will be yours if you keep this up!

[Dave Thompson @d_n_t]

@Jenny_Mitcham Brilliant! Tell William you deserve an immediate pay rise

[Dave Thompson @d_n_t]

Our Bercow the #bat it parading back and forth across our living room window as #dusk settles. If Bercow passes training then the role of #GuardBat is assured

[Dave Thompson @d_n_t]

@Jenny_Mitcham Ah, that's probably why we have bats too! ;)

[Dave Thompson @d_n_t]

The #guardcat makes best use of cover when sleeping. Guard cat training is hard and it sticks. #cats #CatsOnTwitter

[Dave Thompson @d_n_t]

We are very pleased to announce that we have a resident #bat in the roof. Not sure of the species yet. We listen to it on our bat detector and watch it flit back and forwards outside our living room window in the gloaming. We have named the bat Berko

Come & work with me! @UKNatArchives needs a senior archivist to manage our catalogue workflow & lead on descriptive standards. https://t.co/iyWkdYBu6n #Archives #ArchivesJobs #MondayMotivation

@NickPoole1 Whilst having the confidence and courage to follow what one knows to be right and appropriate and to sell that vision to the organisation. Advice is cheap, everyone has an agenda, a leader leads through belief in a vision and their teams ability to deliver on that

[Dave Thompson @d_n_t]

@CaylinSSmith @theUL @Cambridge_Uni Brilliant! Well pleased for you!

[Dave Thompson @d_n_t]

@euanc @WilliamKilbride Beat me to it! So few #kiwis so many superstars!

[Dave Thompson @d_n_t]

@digitalfay @BristolUniLib @UniSotonLibrary Excellent! Best wishes and good luck, you'll have a blast!

[Dave Thompson @d_n_t]

@Jenny_Mitcham I love that kids have no filters (most of the time!) They can be equally blunt asking about cancer and life expectancy!

[Dave Thompson @d_n_t]

@CHilton_BB @BrittenOfficial Oh man. One. Scary. Archivist. Like.

[Dave Thompson @d_n_t]

With my #Cancer I've lost weight. Yay, I'm all svelt 'n trim! However, my surgical stockings ('Fetishwear' as I prefer to call them thank you) no longer fit. They now routinely puddle around my ankles in a way that would make Nora Batty proud! #MoodKiller
