For #InternetArchive25, I created a blog post that describes how @internetarchive's Flash collections and the @waybackmachine can be used with Ruffle.rs/ to play archived Flash games from armorgames.com #WebArchiveWednesday @WebSciDL ws-dl.blogspot.com/2021/11/2…

Dreams rarely ask where you start. They ask how far you are willing to go.
I wrote about how my journey from a small town led me across continents, classrooms, and research labs to earning my Ph.D. in Computer Science in the U.S.

I presented our work on Arabic and English news URIs dataset collection, news web pages' archival rate and comparing web archives' holdings at the 10th Computational Archival Science (CAS) Workshop (part of IEEE BigData 2025). @WebSciDL
Trip report: ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/02/2…
For this blog post, I summarized Tessa Walsh, Henry Wilkinson, and @IlyaKreymer's paper, “High Fidelity Web Archiving of News Sites and New Media with Browsertrix.”
@WebSciDL
ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/02/2…
In this paper, they discussed the features of multiple @webrecorder_io tools. Browsertrix is their web archiving platform that uses Browsertrix Crawler for archiving web pages, ArchiveWeb.page for patching web pages, & ReplayWeb.page to replay archived resources.

My most recent blog post: How to archive web pages in bulk using the Internet Archive Google Sheets service. The post simplifies the process and provides a python script to create and populate multiple Google Sheets with URLs saved in a text file ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/02/2… @WebSciDL
In this blog post, I summarized Brenda Reyes Ayala's (@CamtheWicked) paper "Towards a better QA process: Automatic detection of quality problems in archived websites using visual comparisons".
@WebSciDL

She created the Web Archiving Screenshot Compare tool, which can determine the quality of an archived web page by using image similarity metrics when comparing the screenshots of the live web page and the archived web page.

🤔Did you know the furthest time zones on Earth can be 26 hours apart, not just 24? 🌎🕓
This has real implications for interpreting timestamps in Twitter screenshots and searching tweets in web archives across time zones.

I had the incredible opportunity to teach #WebSecurity at Old Dominion University! 🔐
I’ve written up my reflections on what worked well and what I learned along the way in a @WebSciDL blog.

A PhD is more than research—it’s resilience.
From Tables to Triumph: my journey in uncertainty-aware scientific data extraction and what it taught me about persistence and purpose.

Online discussions are central to how we debate issues and build communities. For blind screen reader users, the hardest part is often not missing alt text, but keeping track of the conversation itself. (1/5)

4) When loading Flashtalking web page ads outside of ad iframes, the ad script requested a non-existent URL, which prevented the replay of ad resources.
