Just a quick general-release video for this video. This is a(n, alas, failed) series of attempts at dumping the hard drive built in to the Personal DVR/DVD Recorder I covered a couple of months ago. For the record, no hard drives were harmed during the making of this video--I reinstalled it and everything remains intact (not that there's much noteworthy on there anyway).

Otherwise, tomorrow, I will be doing the second edition of the live "Archiveland Public Domain Theatre". This time around it's Harold Lloyd's final film "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock" (from 1947), in which the (mostly) silent-era star effectively deconstructs his old (mostly) silent persona. Main show starts at 8 P.M. Central Time with a pre-show of assorted OA collection goodies starting at 7:30. http://youtube.com/live/l2OFPhb_Wjc

Next week will be a new, regular OA episode. It'll be our first round of "random" audiocassettes since 2020!

I wanted to watch the livestream, but several weeks of long workdays and no days off (plus switching shifts back and forth) means I'm watching it after the fact a half hour here and there.

I've been talking to a viewer that's a bit of a Linux nerd, so I was gonna pull the hard drive, send it to him and see if he couldn't pull the files natively.

You didn't miss much. Something was up on my internet provider's end and/or YT's end, but the framerate wound up being around 3-8fps for the most part--total choppy mess. May try an informal, experimental stream again tonight using direct ethernet instead of wi-fi.
