I&#8217;m almost done with the optical discs Carl sent, with three left. I was able to get a batch of recovered contents off to him on Friday. Here&#8217;s where I stand with everything:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Optical Discs\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>37 of 40 discs archived (92.5%) | 8.24 GB<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3.5&#8243; Floppy Disks\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>146 of 149 disks archived (98.0%) | 97.6 MB<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>35 of 56 disks with Cubase files processed (62.5%)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>185 files converted to MIDI format<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>12.3 GB of video recordings created<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5GB Hard Drive\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Recovery in progress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5.25&#8243; Floppy Disks\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Not started<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zip Disks\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Not started<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cassette Tape\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Not started<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Studio Infrastructure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inspired by all the archival going on lately, I&#8217;m preparing for a large paper scanning project as soon as all the data recovery is completed. This consists of mostly paper materials that are currently being stored in archival-safe sleeves in three-ring binders. These are being stored in the cupboards in the studio, but I want to free this space up. As I scan, I&#8217;ll be transferring the paperwork into clear, airtight bins that can accommodate hanging folders (thanks to Carl for the inspiration on this). I&#8217;ll also throw a desiccant bag into each bin to ward off humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, once scanned, I&#8217;ll be able to more easily process these items into the Annals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Miscellany<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Video games added this week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Atari 2600: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/13803\/adventures-of-tron\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/13803\/adventures-of-tron\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adventures of Tron<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/9448\/demon-attack\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/9448\/demon-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Demon Attack<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PS3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/9448\/demon-attack\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/9448\/demon-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MX vs. ATV: Untamed<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wii: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/53483\/cabelas-survival-shadows-of-katmai\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/53483\/cabelas-survival-shadows-of-katmai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cabela&#8217;s Survival: Shadows of Katmai<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/85494\/pirates-hunt-for-blackbeards-booty\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/85494\/pirates-hunt-for-blackbeards-booty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pirates: Hunt for Blackbeard&#8217;s Booty<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/27064\/ssx-blur\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/27064\/ssx-blur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SSX Blur<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blog post: How the data recovery process is going, some studio organization, and some new (to me) video games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[47,29,3,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-annals","category-retro-computers","category-studio","category-video-games"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2304"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2304\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2319,"href":"https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2304\/revisions\/2319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
