Building a PHP Front Controller







Building a PHP Front Controller

Building a PHP Front Controller 07/09/2004 06:28 PM

It's a rare web app that doesn't span multiple pages. It's also rare that such an app doesn't have some common behavior. The Front Controller design pattern can simplify processing, behavior, and the user experience. Ethan McCallum explains how to use this in your applications.

Eight-foot NES controller


Eight-foot NES controller 03/31/2005 02:32 AM
Cory Doctorow: Gavin sez, "On Monday, we re-launched what used to be known as The Screen Savers (where we've had Xeni, Cory & Mark on as guests) as Attack of the Show! and to celebrate we created a working eight-foot Nintendo controller. The link goes to Monday's show page which has a video clip of the controller in use. The verdict is still out whether or not it's a world's record but we've got the call into the Guinness people as I type." Link (Thanks, Gavin!)

Sega Neo Geo Controller for PS2 12/29/2004 12:01 PM

snk_controller.jpg imageFor me, nothing beats a good D-pad and an analog thumbstick for gaming, but for the ultimate fighting game championships, it's hard to go wrong with a nice 8-way joystick. And while it's not my favorite stick from history (the metal-shod, Ghostbusters II NES Advantage probably is nearest to my heart), the Neo Geo controller certainly has a certain something, not the least of which is that it was the first home gaming console controller that had a proper joystick (Atari, et al not withstanding).

So all that's to say, Sega Logistics and SNK Playmore have teamed up to release a new version of the classic controller, called the 'Neo Geo Stick 2,' with 4 extra buttons to work with the Sony Playstation 2. It's a strange landscape, isn't it, with Sega releasing an SNK design on a Sony platform.

One-Handed PS2 Controller


One-Handed PS2 Controller 09/09/2004 02:38 PM

ffxi_onehand.jpg imageJapanese manufacturer Sanwa Denshi has created a special one-handed Playstation 2 controller, designed to work with the online-only Final Fantasy XI. Apparently the control in FFXI are so basic that you only need a D-pad and four buttons, though, and not the full compliment of shoulder buttons and the like - making it wholly unsuited for most other games. That's too bad, too, because all jerk off gamer jokes aside, one handed controllers are a fine idea for RPGs and other games that don't require precise, frantic input. There was a einhanded controller for the original Playstation, if I recall. Somebody should re-release that for the PS2.

Oh, and I like the retractable cord!

Automatic Information Extraction From Semi-Structured Web Pages By Pattern Discovery
http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=640423&dl=ACM&coll=portal
Abstract:
The World Wide Web is now undeniably the richest and most dense source of information; yet, its structure makes it difficult to make use of that information in a systematic way. This paper proposes a pattern discovery approach to the rapid generation of information extractors that can extract structured data from semi-structured Web documents. Previous work in wrapper induction aims at learning extraction rules from user-labeled training examples, which, however, can be expensive in some practical applications. In this paper, we introduce IEPAD (an acronym for Information Extraction based on PAttern Discovery), a system that discovers extraction patterns from Web pages without user-labeled examples. IEPAD applies several pattern discovery techniques, including PAT-trees, multiple string alignments and pattern matching algorithms. Extractors generated by IEPAD can be generalized over unseen pages from the same Web data source. We empirically evaluate the performance of IEPAD on an information extraction task from 14 real Web data sources. Experimental results show that with the extraction rules discovered from a single page, IEPAD achieves 96% average retrieval rate, and with less than five example pages, IEPAD achieves 100% retrieval rate for 10 of the sample Web data sources. This has been added to the articles section of Deep Web Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Design Pattern Toolkit 3.0 (Default
branch)
04/06/2005 11:41 PM
The Design Pattern Toolkit is an Eclipse-enabled tool for generating applications based on customizable model-driven architecture patterns. This plug-in can speed up the development of common types of applications by the use of patterns that capture best (or current) practices for the design and implementation of those applications. Users apply patterns to information encoded in XML files to generate multiple Eclipse resources of multiple types that together make up an application. The toolkit has a component for pattern-based resource generation as well as a component that supports pattern development and distribution.
Changes:
Enhancements and fixes were made. This version runs on Eclipse 3.0, RAD, and RSA. An updated "Exemplar Analysis" tool edits a model of a transformation from which DPTK transformations can be generated.
