03 Sep 2025 MY DIGITAL LEGACY

This morning, Steve and I went to Office Works in Burleigh to buy a two terabyte Solid-State Drive (SSD) to house all the data from my project which I wish to keep for posterity. Steve retired from Bond University last May and we are in the process of putting our more than twenty years of collaboration to bed. The website, unedited and edited footage are all officially curated, which is most pleasing. My digital legacy is of data that I have selected with Steve’s help. It will be the sole repository of my Image Library with its thousands of video frames and photos. Only edited video footage, primarily of hundreds of short species videos plus some longer videos will be stored. One or two of the latter may, or may not be available elsewhere. I am including all my essays, which also appear on the website. Some were published elsewhere online. I have added a brief text to these, to place them in their proper context. Steve is going through the many hard drives he has used over the years, to see what of value they contain. I will leave the SSD to Simon.
