04/27/2004 08:40 AM18 Months of Phone Cam Photos

"With the help of a special query to the hiptop Nation database, I was
able to back up over 18 months of moblog posts and phone cam photos to
my local hard drive by simply loading everything into a single
Netscape window and saving the page....
With all the photos on my local hard drive, I was able to dump them
into my iView image
catalog utility to create a big thumbnail sheet. You can see the 1200
x 5500 pixel, 1.2 mb image in a pop-up window by clicking on the image
above.
Rendered this way, my reaction was that 1715 images didn't look
like a lot. Later this year, I'd like to pump another back up of these
images into a photomosaic
program to generate some Rob
Silvers-style artwork." [curiousLee, PubSub: "treo 600"]
Too way cool! I hope TextAmerica picks up on this,
lets me create a thumbnail view of pictures on my moblog, and
then offers a way for me to print it as a poster, especially
incorporating the mosaic idea.

10/29/2003 01:15 AMThis MetaFilter
thread about someone's version of the game of MASH
reminded me of the version that Ben and I
whipped together about two years ago.
Because it became pretty popular and because there are a lot of
images, the game became a bit of a bandwidth hog and we were
constantly going over our transfer allotment. So, I took it down and
-- though I promised it would return -- never put it back up.
Well, tonight, after playing around with the game again and
thinking it was pretty neat, I decided to bring it back (for the time
being). And since, even with a new server, it still be a bit of
bandwidth drain, I decided to put up a TypePad ad to at least make
good use of any possible traffic it might attract. When we get our
overcharge bill at the end of the month, I may at least be able say to
say that the endeavor might have possibly brought in a user or
two.

We've been doing bootlegs / mash-ups for a few years now.
For the last several months, we've been working with MTV on exclusive
bootlegs for a new show called ""MTV
MASH" which is broadcast all around Europe 3 times a week. We
already made12 tracks for the show so far. If you want to listen to
our bootlegs, check out our website, it's still under construction,
but there's already a lot of tracks to listen to.

this is what ended up on the cutting room floor -- the show should be
amazing. I'm particularly fond of the Missy Elliot meets Green day
track "get your green on," as well as the Goldbug meets ODB number
"Golden Bastard."

08/04/2004 06:17 AMBusiness Blogging Goes Mainstreamhttp://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=technology
News&storyID=5834827Major technology companies such as
Microsoft and IBM are endorsing blogging as a means of enhancing
companies' communications channels while at the same time eyeing them
as potential profit-boosters. At a recent conference held at the
University of California Berkeley's Haas Business School, IBM Almaden
Research Center director James Spohrer outlined his company's plans
for integrating blogging into its employee communication strategies:
"It's about decreasing social space between employees, and increasing
the amount of knowledge shared between people." An example might
contain some of an individual's educational background and work
experience, as well as information on product development strategies
that colleagues and customers can access around the clock. This
sharing of information could spur feedback on efforts to produce new
products and improve business processes, said Spohrer. Meanwhile, some
analysts are looking at the marketing potential inherent in blogging.
"Blogs are a way to put a human face on the company," because of the
continuous interaction and relationships that employees can develop
with blog-readers, says Forrester Research analyst Charlene Li.

12/17/2003 02:32 PMBioinformatics Moves Into the Mainstream - An Explosion of
Data Is Being Tamed with New Systems By Jennifer Ouellette in The
Industrial Physicist (Volume 9, Issue 6)http://www.a
ip.org/tip/INPHFA/vol-9/iss-5/p14.htmlGenome mappings,
those completed and those in progress, have generated a vast amount of
biological data, and now more than ever, scientists need sophisticated
computational techniques to make sense of it. To meet those
ever-increasing needs, bioinformatics is shifting from software
designed for a specific project in academic laboratories to the
commercial mainstream. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary research
area loosely defined as the interface between the biological and
computational sciences. In practice, the definition is narrower,
according to Michael Zuker, a professor of mathematical sciences at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York. For Zuker
and many others, the term applies to the use of computers to store,
retrieve, analyze, or predict the composition or structure of
biomolecules. These include genetic materials such as nucleic acids,
as well as proteins, the end products of genes. ... The need to manage
and analyze this data largely drives the current bioinformatics boom.
'Biology is awash in data,' says Eric Jakobsson. 'We cannot exploit
the body of data that is currently out there -- we cannot mine it --
without computers, and now we cannot even handle the data in our own
individual labs without sophisticated computation.'"

06/21/2004 07:41 AMBit Torrent : An Analysis
Bit Torrent : An Analysis
12/19/2004 03:10 PMHardy news site,
The Register, recently published a
detailed analysis of the file sharing protocol
Bit
Torrent. Bit Torrent has received attention in the main stream
news after reports that it was carrying as much as 50% of all peer 2
peer (p2p) traffic, which in tern amounted to a massive 30% of all the
traffic on the internet. The paper, by Dr. Johan Pouwelse, examines
the protocol and looks especially at one of the largest bit-torrent
hubs, Suprnova.org. He examines how just 20 moderators solve the
problem of fake files, something that plagues the traditional file
sharing networks like Kazaa.
Dr Powelse notes that the major problems facing hubs like suprnova are
fakes and maintaining hub availability. The availability of files on
bit torrent is based on a centralised system; without it, the network
fails as users cannot access the trackers. Decentralising bit torrent
has already begun - Suprnova have started a project called "
Exeem" which apparently has 5,000 beta
testers trialling it, and has an ultimate aim of taking the best of
Kazaa (a decentralised network) and merging it with Bit Torrent.
Decentralisation removes the issue of poor availability at the tracker
end, yet0 it also provides more scope for fake files and a reduction
in data integrity at the user end.
The paper concludes that bit-torrent needs to evolve to create
incentives to users to seed files. Bit-torrent as a protocol is a
system that’s here to stay; it enjoys more and more usage from more
main stream content providers. Yes, there is a lot of illegitimate use
of the protocol, but unlike Kazaa, these users should not be allowed
to over shadow the usefulness to legitimate users of the bit torrent
protocol.
[Update] Since this article was published, Suprnova has
shutdown as a hub for torrents. Although this cannot be confirmed, the
shutdown is very likely related to legal action from the
Hollywood against tracker
websites; earlier in the week many other sites were taken down.
The effectiveness of the takedowns could be massive; the paper below
notes that when on the Suprnova mirrors went offline during their
monitoring period, they saw a massive reduction in the number of users
downloading files through the site.

Bit Torrent question
Bit Torrent question
04/09/2004 10:30 PMBit
Torrent and the ability to download everything in one click (is this
the end of Direct TV, Tivo and the music business?!).
Used BitTorrent a little bit when it first came out and was a bit
underwhelmed. It didnt work, there werent a lot of
places to find files, etc.
I decided to take another look at it when a designer friend of mine
was telling me that he has the latest version of every single piece of
design software on his Mac compliments of bit torrent (yes, I know
its wrong
not the point Im trying to make, the point
is coming :-).
Part I: I installed bit torrent and immediately
noticed an amazing new trend (prob. not new to all of you) of people
posting dozens of albums in one RAR file for download. Huge file sizes
in the 500 to 4,000 meg size range. The last season of seven seasons
of Southpark, every Nirvanna album and here is another file with every
Howard Stern radio show from March in one file.
In one click you grab one really well organized, clean and deep
sets of filesscary.
Part II: A couple of month ago I got the Gateway
Connected DVD player. For $195 it connects via WiFi to my desktop and
I can hit the My Music or My Videos button on the remote control and
pull up those directories on my hard drive (in the other room).
Part III: Today I moved into my new apartment in
Santa Monica and was faced with the standard $100 month cable/dish
bill and Im thinking dang, I only watch less then a half
dozen TV shows and they are all here on bit torrent
maybe I
should save the $1,200 a year and just download the shows and watch
them via my Gateway Connected DVD player?
The Point/Question: How soon before youll be
able-with one click-download every prime-time TV show or last
years top 500 CDs in one click?!
(Note: This is not a trick question, I have yet to find a file
containing that much contenthowever, I did find a file with last
weeks top 100 singles that someone put together in one nice
package).

Xeni Jardin:
Mark Pesce rants about
the recent shutdowns of BitTorrent supersites Suprnova.org and
TorrentBits.com.
Hey, Hollywood! Can you feel the future slipping through your fingers?
Do you understand how badly you've screwed up? You took a perfectly
serviceable situation - a nice, centralized system for the
distribution
of media, and, through your own greed and shortsightedness, are giving
birth to a system of digital distribution that you'll never, ever be
able to defeat. In your avarice and arrogance you ignored the obvious:
you should have cut a deal with SuprNova.org. In partnership you could
have found a way to manage the disruptive change that's already well
underway. Instead, you have repeated the mistakes made by the
recording
industry, chapter and verse. And thus you have spelled your own doom.
It's said that the best sequels are just like the original, only
bigger
and louder. Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for one hell of a
crash. This baby is now fully out of control.
