Only 10K messages, about 91M of crud, and it's not like there are words I've never seen in it. Unfortunately stuff in there did upset me. Not because it was foul, obscene, tasteless, or lacking in any sort of aesthetic. Nope, it's because there was mail I recognized. For some reason the autolearning that...

ENT is starting to happen!

ENT is starting to happen! 05/11/2004 01:43 PM
(ENT2.0 mod RSS1.0) = 0.

Time for ENT 2.0?. It's very interesting to read Danny's toughts about ENT and RSS 1.0. Maybe it's time for a new release of the ENT specs, RSS 1.0 compatible. Oh... and what about Atom?
[Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog]

I've certainly thought about things which, with the benefit of hindsight, I would have done differently.  I was never comfortable with having the topic name as the text content of the <topic> element and I've no idea why I did it, there are other bugbears in there too.

I'd also like to give more thought as to how ENT feeds can be supported by topic map resources in real applications.  At the moment we don't publish XTM or XFML maps out of K-Collector but we could (I used to publish XFML from liveTopics but those files got big!)

Lastly I would really like to make a push for ENT support in other applications.  It seems a shame to me that, more than a year on, no other applications seem to have picked up on the benefits topic based aggregation offer to users.
[Curiouser and curiouser!]

Right on to Paolo and Matt!

Here we go!

I highly endorse using ENT as a way of us all standardizing on attaching keywords to RSS feeds.  On both sides.

I bet it'd be trivial for Apple to enable connections via Bluetooth (to your paired devices) to import photos.

The Difference Between What You Want To
Happen And What's Happening 12/29/2003 01:44 PM
We've writt en about Magnatunes and the Creative Commons a few times before, so yet another article on Magnatunes and the Creative Commons isn't all that interesting. However, this one makes a very good point which is worth repeating. The article asks, if people can get their music for free, why would they bother paying for CDs. The response, which Magnatunes founder basically tells them, is that they're asking the wrong question. People are already downloading music for free, and thus, the recording industry needs to figure out a way to adjust to that reality. The original question (what happens if people can get their music for free?) is like asking "but, what happens to buggy makers when automobiles are around?" The answer seems obvious to everyone, except those involved in the recording industry: they adapt or die. The recording industry is so focused on what they want to happen, that they've missed what's actually happening. The article also suggests that, so far, Magnatunes is doing quite well, and has the potential to be a viable longterm business - based on the idea of giving away music as a promotional good.

More And More Credit Card Transactions
Happen Online 08/06/2004 04:41 PM
Due to the growing interest in e-commerce, an increasing percentage of all credit card transactions now happen online. The article quotes someone pointing out that this is no surprise (it isn't... at all), but also saying: "It's convenient, secure and ideally suits the time-poor society we live in." You might want to question that middle part, however. Unfortunately, using credit cards online isn't always as secure as it should be, and with so many online transactions happening these days, it's about time that credit card companies start making disposa ble credit card numbers the standard online.

As reported by iPodLounge and MacDailyNews, a Taiwanese company has introduced a blatant rip-off of Apple's iPod shuffle -- the Luxpro Super shuffle. The device has been seen on display at the CeBIT conference in Germany where its name, look, and marketing brazenly mimics Apple's new flash-based wonder.

Apple's lawyers are pretty busy with their other lawsuits but I'm sure they won't hesitate to add another to their dockets.

Can we really let this happen again?

Ignore the genocide in Darfur,

Can we really let this happen again?

Ignore the genocide in Darfur,
Sudan, and a million people will die 07/23/2004 06:04 AM
J Moore and others have done for the ongoing genocide in Sudan something similar to what I did for SARS in its infancy. In May they started a group blog, Passion of the Present and have been posting news about the situation in Darfur, with links for more information, daily. The site, Passion of the Present, is a great resource for learning about what it happening in the Sudan, learning about efforts to prevent the ongoing genocide, and suggestions for what people can do to try and stop it. If you haven't seen it, check it out, link to it, and write about it. In case you haven't heard of Darfur, as the Mercy Corps home page says: it is the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today. According to the United Nations, some 2 million people are in desperate need of food and humanitarian aid, and the U.S. Agency for International Development estimates 350,000 people could die in coming months from starvation and disease. But this humanitarian crisis is not the result of natural forces. It is the result of a deliberate campaign by the leaders of the Sudan to destroy the people of Darfur. So far, the campaign looks like it will be successful. It is, as the US House and Senate voted tonight to declare, Genocide. This is not a Democratic or Republican issue, nor a conservative or liberal, issue. A people is being exterminated like termites by their government. Until recently, the world has just watched and made "naughty naughty" noises. Unless the world steps in, hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of people will die. For those interested in the details, Human Rights Watch recently published a lengthy report on the crisis in Darfur. If you prefer a more impressionistic view, the NYT recently had a first person account of a visit to the refugee camps. A small sample: Two weeks after Colin L. Powell and Kofi Annan visited this part of Sudan in the hope that the glare of diplomatic shame might arrest a human crisis, conditions are still miserable. Days after the American secretary of state and the United Nations secretary general ended their tour, witnesses said, gunmen stormed a girls' school in the desert region of Darfur, chained a group of students together and set the building on fire. The charred remains of eight girls were still in shackles when military...

Is Dirty Data From Registrations An
Advertising Scandal Waiting To Happen?

Is Dirty Data From Registrations An
Advertising Scandal Waiting To Happen? 08/11/2004 06:13 AM
Adam Penenberg is on a roll. After pointing out that the NY Times is missi ng out on the internet due to its registration system, and then admitti ng to contributing to the dirty data in most registration databases, he's now suggesting this may be an even bigger scandal waiting to happen. There have been a bunch of stories over the past few weeks concerning newspapers admitting to over-stating their circulation numbers. The problem with this, of course, is that advertisers buy print ads based, in part, on circulation and demographics. If the circulation is wrong, they've been sold something under false terms. On the web, it's that demographics part that's the problem. With all that dirty data, will sites need to admit to advertisers that the demographic info they're selling is contaminated? While many sites insist that there isn't that much dirty data, it's increasingly looking like they're trying to play down a serious problem. Just as advertisers are asking for refunds for bogus circulation data for print newspapers, how long will it be until online advertisers ask for refunds on bogus web demographic information?

"I was reading about your upcoming adventure with considerable envy when I realized i'd seen something similar in june or so and sure enough, a Hungarian online mag has a first-person account of such a flight right here in budapest. a 20-year old soviet-built Antonov 2 plane is used for the stunt, apparently flown by one of hungary's top fighter pilots (this part is not clear). it's all in hungarian but check out the pictures. it's groovy."

Update: Péter Kelemen says, "Well, the pilot is Gyula VÁRI (former squadron leader), the article says nothing about him being one of Hungary's top fighter pilot. But he is the President of the Hungarian Aeronautical Association. (Link). The flight itself is about 20 minutes in 1000-3000m altitude while having 10-12 weightlessness-sessions of 7-10 sec each. G changes between 0-3 during the flight."
