I used to be here twittering about Digital Preservation Coalition and related. I don't tweet so much and don't check this account. I am mostly on Blue Sky.

[William Kilbride @WilliamKilbride]

I am stopping tweeting on this account from the end of August 2024. I'll be in a place with bluer skies if you want to track me down. I miss the good times we had here. Thank you all for your friendship.

DPC members: don't miss out on our next reading club session a week today! (20th Aug) We'll be discussing a really interesting article on Imposter Syndrome and Library Workers. I've already read it twice, it's a corker! https://t.co/nLwiytIX93

@CHilton_BB Chris, I would pay significant money for you to write this. It would be a triumph. Some rum work done in yonder mead hall, what what?

Make sure to submit your paper, lightning talk or workshop before the end of the week 👇

@mkhokhar I am so desperately sorry hear that Masud. It is a pleasure to work alongside you and an honour to call you a friend.

@stokel @CalumAM Come from Away is such a gentle, heartwarming story of welcome in the face of genuine adversity. It's the antithesis of the angry thuggish voices that have closed it down.

I'm doing final edits on a book I wrote in 2023 and edited in 2024 -- and I'm horrified how many local newspapers have been deleted in recent months with archives erased. The sites were there when I turned in the book, but were rapidly killed, leaving me with dead-end notes.

Fowlis Easter - the most complete medieval church in Scotland - is closing and could go on the open market at the end of the year. The loss of it would be catastrophic. I see new wonderful details every time I visit. Come and have a look with me:
