There is a growing user and business interest in being able to transport relevant information between sites. This obviously raises big security issues. The friend of a friend (FOAF)project is a practical experiment designed to identift and solve some of the problems arising from using semantic web technology. [PRWEB Aug 27, 2004]

Your friend: the FBI

Your friend: the FBI 04/15/2004 11:36 AM

Thoughts for Tax Day:  A friend sent t his article on various rules that restrict the U.S. government from investigating terrorists.  The implication of the article is that we'd all be better off if the CIA and the FBI could work unfettered.  Certainly the widows and orphans of September 11th would be better off.  Yet our government has a history of pouring tremendous amounts of effort in the wrong areas, often resulting in months or years of misery for innocent people.  One of the more humorous recent examples is Booker Prize winner Ian McEwan's detain ment at the Vancouver airport.  We want the Federales to be strong enough to hunt down Saudi terrorists in flight schools but sufficiently weak that we can throw them off our own backs when necessary.

[As noted on Prairie Home Companion on Saturday, if you're sending a check to the IRS this year put a couple of extra stamps on the envelope because it's going all the way to Iraq.]

Feature Creep

“Those of you who read this site via RSS/Atom/LiveJournal syndication may have missed our latest site feature, ‘IM to a friend’.

As of this last Friday, there's a tiny AIM icon next to the title of each entry. When it's clicked on, most AIM clients should give you a new message window containing the URL of the entry you'd like to share with a friend. After you enter their screen name and send the message, feel free to chat about what you've sent their way. It works transparently and is loads easier than a standard copy and paste.

Yeah, we're trying to harbor conversation about our site and drive our traffic up. We're also trying to make sending URLs to friends a bit easier. We stole the idea from our friends at blogging.la….

Note: Trillian doesn't seem to install handlers for ‘aim:‘ links. If you run Trillian and click on the link, there's a good chance that nothing will happen. iChat and the official AIM client seem to be all good tho. Sorry Trillian users.” [Preshrunk]

Intere sting idea for those libraries exploring IM. Might be a nice reverse idea on the idea of creating IM interfaces into the catalog, too.

As is whatever the module for Apache 2.0 is. I finally broke down and snagged an RSS content aggregator thingie (which, in addition to confirming my feelings that polling for RSS feeds sucks more than Cygnus X-1, now makes me want RSS feeds on places that don't have them. EurekAlert and The New Scientist spring to mind) since I've got enough places I go infrequently that I was starting to lose track of which ones I'd been to lately and which I hadn't. 'Tis keen, though I'd like to be able to twiddle more stuff than the tool allows. No...

The Command Line Is Your Friend 03/06/2004 01:56 AM

If you're in the tech field, it might behoove you to know your command line utilities, and to have a copy of Cygwin handy if you run Windows. There are reasons why those old-school UNIX guys look down their long beards at the rest of us with disdain for not knowing the system shell. I ran across a great use of command line tools today that I thought I'd share.

Smegma, Your Friend and Mine

Smegma
(so NSFW it isn't funny at all, most links are not safe either)
'The animal kingdom would probably cease to exist without smegma.' - Thomas Ritter, MD.
Smegma's a widely misunderstood substance, rather than being a noxious waste product it moisturizes the glans and keeps it smooth, soft, and supple. Its antibacterial and antiviral properties keep the penis clean and healthy though a build up can result in balanitis. Here's an article on how to collect it for experimentation as an extracted bacterium from smegma has been successfully used to treat bladder cancer as well as a strange experiment on the potential carcinogenic effects of smegma on mice (hint, there were none found, if anything, the smegma'ed mice outlived the control mice). Smegma is also related to vernix, the cheese-like substance on a newborn's skin.

Lots of humor to be had, including the Devil's Dictionary definition as well as a band called, yeah, Smegma and even a cocktail recipe for something called a Smegma Delight (vodka, bourbon and parmesan cheese, umm, pass).

Just when you think all government endeavors are going to hell, the National Center for Biotechnology Information comes to the rescue (well, has been coming to the scientist near you since 1988). For free, search everything from dna sequences in organisms where the genome is known to searching known Mendelian inheritances for Homo Sapiens (example here). Also of much use and interest is PudMed< /a> with the ability to search and read virtually any established molecular biology paper.

Computers: Scientific Friend or Foe?

Computers: Scientific Friend or Foe? 09/08/2004 06:39 AM
Computers: Scientific Friend or Foe? By Dan Vergano, USA TODAY
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2004-08-30-research-an d-puters_x.htm


It's an old joke among techie types: To err is human. To really screw up, you need a computer. Now scientists are learning that lesson, too. But they don't think it's funny. As computers extend their reach into the research laboratory, they are making possible new kinds of science, but they're also creating pitfalls along the way. Some computer programs are causing problems on their own, wreaking unexpected havoc with scientific data. In other cases, scientists are using computers — either on purpose or out of ignorance — to deceive.

I Need A Security Solution... For A
Friend 05/04/2004 03:09 PM
For years, the FBI has been trying to convince companies to tell them when they've been maliciously hacked in order to better respond and deal with troublesome behavior. Companies, however, are usually afraid to ever admit to anyone that they've had any computer security problems whatsoever - which means that those fighting against these attacks have much less info in how to stop them. While this article doesn't necessarily offer any solutions, it does point out that this is a serious (and growing) problem. The end result, though, is that IT representatives from companies at security trade shows all deny they have problems... but are all desperately looking for solutions. This brings up, by the way, the fact that our server seems to have been getting hammered this morning from some unknown source. You may have noticed a bit of downtime or slowness. Hopefully we've got it under control.
