Smart Carpet for RoboVac Navigation

Smart Carpet for RoboVac Navigation 06/17/2005 07:11 PM
Vorwerk, a German company, is working on a Smart Carpet system to help robotic vacuums navigate. The system uses radio frequency identification (RFID) tags at approximately one tag every 1.5 inches square attached to the underside of the carpet. The robotic vacuum would have a grid map of all the unique RFID tag codes and an RFID reader so it would be able to read where it is at any given moment. A robotic vacuum should then be able to intelligently navigate even remembering which areas it has missed and be able to go back and vacuum those spots.

Carpet 11/04/2003 08:42 AM
Earlier this year Red Hat said it would drop Red Hat Linux to focus exclusively on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In September the company announced that the community-based Fedora project would replace what used to be the free version of Red Hat Linux. Yesterday Red Hat told its customers when it would end support of Red Hat 9. Those developments raised important questions for Ximian Desktop users. Would Ximian support Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora? And would the company position its Red Carpet service as the natural successor to Red Hat Network (RHN), since those who don't step up to Enterprise Linux will be left without RHN support for Fedora?

Channel 9 04/27/2004 02:43 PM

Channel 9: It's gonna take more than listening in to Channel 9 for me, I think.

Channel 9 started as a personal story from one of us about fear of flying. Lenn realized after years of dealing with it, that it was actually a fear of the unknown. The fear was conquered through learning. The more transparency into what it took to fly a plane, the more the fear went away. Lenn got to know pilots who flew planes everyday, and every time he flew he turned on Channel 9 on the in-flight audio system to listen in to the cockpit.

We think developers need their own Channel 9, a way to listen in to the cockpit at Microsoft, an opportunity to learn how we fly, a chance to get to know our pilots. Five of us in Redmond are crazy enough to think we just might learn something from getting to know each other. Were we wrong? Time will tell.

Join in, and have a look inside our cockpit and help us fly the plane.

Welcome to Channel 9.

Channel Z

Channel Z 12/11/2003 04:48 PM
I'd meant to write something about this a little while back when I first saw the breadcrumbs (e.g. Top > Dave's World > Weblog Archive > 2003 > December > 04) appear on the top of scripting news's new layout. I could predict where Dave was going with this and wondered how he'd describe and implement it when he got there.

A Blosxom mailing list posting today pointed out Dave's new Chan nel Z project, described variously as an "innovation", "a new kind of architecture for a blogging system", "revolutionary", and so forth.

As noted by Michael Manley in a posted comment:

Perhaps I'm missing some subtlety to Dave's experiments, but isn't an awful lot of Channel Z's functionality already present in blogging tools like Blosxom (www.blosxom.com), which allow arbitrary category hierarchies, date-driven hierarchies, and RSS feeds at any point in either hierarchy?

Indeed it is. Blosx om has been built on just such a hierarchy system, one of the joys of using the filesystem as database.

Blosxom's raison d'etre is to apply to blogging all you already know about files and folders/directories. Your computer's hard drive is a database of thoughts, projects, silliness, good works, fact, and fiction. You're used to filing things away by project, subject, or according to the subjective rationale of some obscure personal filing system; Blosxom builds on this experience, allowing you to expose some piece of that hierarchy in the form of a weblog.
...
Reflecting your own personal category hierarchy in your Blosxom weblog is just a matter of saving your posts (their .txt files, that is) to the appropriate directory. Have something to say about language? Go ahead and make a set of nested folders for /society/language or /communication/spoken/language or whatever else you might prefer and save your post there.

Walking your Blosxom directory tree in your browser is as simple as appending the path on to the end of the base Blosxom URL.
...
Each step down the hierarchy provides not only postings in that directory/folder, but everything else in the directories/folders beneath. At the top-most level, I see everything. At /travel, I see everything in /travel, /travel/india, /travel/packing, and so forth.

Here are all my posts on literature:

blosxom.cgi/society/literature/

And anything on the Mac OS X operating system:

blosxom.cgi/computers/operating_systems/apple/mac_os_x/

Add to that the ability to go back in time and you've quite a few avenues available for exploration. Here are July 2003's posts on home repair:

blosxom.cgi/home/repair/2003/07

And personal resolutions made on January 1^st, 2003:

blosxom.cgi/personal/resolutions/2003/01/01

And, of course, combining a walk down the directory tree and going back in time shows everything beneath the current directory/folder. So, at /travel/india/2000/11/ I see all postings in /travel/india, /travel/india/mumbai, and so forth, restricted to postings made in November 2000.

Append an index.rss and you've an RSS feed of the path, day, path/day combination, or specific posting in question. Append index.anflavour and you've the same in any flavour you've defined. Add Fletcher Penney's find plugin and you can search within a particular part of your hierarchy or within a specific date-range--or both.

In point of fact, this functionality predates even Blosxom, harkening back to it's precursor, the now all-but-superceded Peerkat, "a personal syndicated data aggregator living on your computer desktop" I wrote back in November 2000.

Back in November 2000, I devoted a smidge of my copious free time ;-) to learning Python via a project I called Peerkat, a P2P version of Meerkat, the O'Reilly Network's Open Wire Service. About 95% to completion, work stalled around January 2001 due to lack of mindwidth :-\

Very similar in functionality to what the excellent Radio Userland offers, Peerkat was both an aggregator and a weblog application. Subscribe to feeds, pass some of them through, filter others, make notes along the way, and add your own entries if you're so inclined. Here's a screenshot of the Peerkat home screen another of the python hierachy, and of course adding a feed to aggregate, specifying to what path entries should be saved.

The focus was really on aggregating rather than posting, taking the pressure of writing off and allowing for some peer-to-peer aggregation magic. I subscribe to person A's snowboarding blog (or snowboarding category in their hierarchy) and person B's rock-climbing. You subscribe to person C's soccer and cricket categories and person D's olympics commentary. Person E can then come along and either subscribe to some of what we do directly or just pick and choose from our already-aggregated feeds, getting a nice collaboratively-aggregated feed of sports writing.

In fact, this goes back to a conversation involving Jon Udell and Dave.

Dave's original idea was to categorize at the channel level. Given that I tend to be interested in things like groupware, Perl, and XML, that would imply I'd categorize my channel like this:

<category>perl</category>
<category>groupware</category>
<category>xml</category>

This scheme would enable a channel host to organize views of its channels according to such categories. It seemed to me, though, that item-level categorization was also needed. For example, I'd be inclined to categorize my Zope item like this:

<category>OpenSource</category>
<category>Programming/Python</category>
<category>WebApplicationServers/Zope</category>
<category>Databases/OODB</category>

This was the original impetus, believe it or not, behind me wanting to extend RSS to incorporate channels, which lead to wanting to extend it to incorporate pointers to establish category hierarchies the likes of DMOZ and Yahoo!, which lead to my wanting to allow ad-hoc extension of RSS--but that's yet another conversation I think we've already had.

But to expose this categorization in the RSS without putting it into practice in the site overall seemed an awful shame. Why not use a breadcrumbs approach like any good content management system or categorization service does? I tried a database (Peerkat used the Python Gadfly database) with a URL-representation thereof. But all the while I was building Peerkat, it seemed a little silly to take text, push it into a database with a hierarchical category field, only to unwind it again to expose as a URL hierarchy.

Then the thought struck to use a perfectly hierarchical database everyone was already more than familiar with: the filesystem, with it's folders and files, and symlinks, and hard-links, and permissions. In much the same way Sea World harnesses the "natural behaviours" of its dolphins to apply to tricks, so too would this harness the natural behaviours of folks using their filesystems every day in creating categorized blogs.

And here we are back where we were. I love a good cycle, don't you?

Channel Z is innovative

Channel Z is innovative 04/25/2004 09:51 AM

I went looking for a pointer for Channel Z and noted two things.

Google knows I'm in the Netherlands. This is irritating. I may be in the Netherlands, but I don't speak Dutch. How do I tell it to stop being so smart and just give me Google-As-Usual for a guy from the US who likes the Mets.

Second, when I searched for Channel Z the top hit was a post from a guy at O'Reilly complaining that I stole the idea from him. What utter nonsense. The idea of hierarchic directories certainly predates blogging tools. Manila has had a hierarchic directory browser since 2000. And everything in Channel Z is edited in an outliner, and as far as I know no other blogging tool has one, and if it does, was it really the first outliner? I did my first outliner in 1978. Doug Engelbart did one before. I think that's about it.

A Website As A TV Channel?

While we were just talking about the BBC putti ng TV shows on the internet, here's a story about content going in the opposite direction. It appears that South African news publisher News24 is going to make their web content available via interactive satellite TV. The channel will look just like the website, and users can "surf" using their remote control. Of course, no one has asked whether or not users actually want to receive web content on their TV, but it should be an interesting experiment.
