Feedster Nightly Update / It Takes a Village / Miscellaneous Thoughts

Oh and our additional server capacity will be up and running with 72 to 96 hours.  That will enable some of the more intensive things we want to do as well as make everything more reliable in general. 

Please note that we may be offline Tuesday night from Midnight EST for a bit.
If this changes I'll let you know.

We've all heard it said "It takes a village to raise a child" and perhaps in these complex times, "it takes a village to make a product".  I'm getting great feedback from all over the globe.  Thank you to everyone.  Examples:

• Over in Greece, I got good thoughts on scheduling for the "crawler" (I don't think of it as that since its not recursive (well kinda but ..))
• From Holland, came good thoughts on finding more RSS urls and other important things
• And Andy Edmonds tonight helped me tune the query parser for *much better* search results.  Thanks !

Not a ton of new features to report except for the tuned query parser.  A lot of work on back end stuff and getting ready for more server capacity.  A cool new feature, very appropriate for the times, is coming in a few days.More when I'm comfortable with its capabilities.

Michael Bernstein sent a few great links for the Wrox debacle: 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5.  Now when he was doing his research, he found that Google was indexing Feedster pages!!!!  See the 4th link from the bottom on this Google page.  How'd that happen ?

Note: You'll notice I didn't use my convention of [_Go_] for the links above.  Here's why -- we're starting to add link anchor text analysis in and clearly if I know "Andy Edmonds" is related to urls at mozilla / surfmind.com, we're going to do a better job.

Marc's Open Indentity is very, very cool. 

Via Dave: Great article on Google.& nbsp; Now that I'm back in the search engine business, I'm definitely reading this one.  Back in the search business you say.

ClickTracks: This looks like a very useful web analytics tool I just ran across.

Orange Alert from Chris Pirillo.

Oh and did I mention that we're up to almost 80,000 posts in the database ?  Very cool.

Before Safari build 60 was released I saw all build 58, 59 and a bunch of earlier builds in my logs, mostly from apple.com IPs. $ grep Safari * | perl -pe 's/.*(AppleWeb.*)/$1/' | sort -u | tail -1 AppleWebKit/62 (like Gecko) Safari/62" Amusingly it's not from 17.* IP addresses (Apple), or even IPs that looks like they are from California. ThinkSecret posted a report about build 62 saying that it has tabs (yay). Maybe it leaked? ObSafari: Neato trick....

LG builds "smart washer"

LG builds "smart washer" 09/17/2004 12:40 PM
Every now and then, I come across some news that is just plain odd. This would have to be one of those stories.

If the military can build a missile that can fly through your window and build satellites that can read your license plate... why can't you get a washing machine that helps tell you how best to wash those silk PJs? Well, now you can.

A new washing machine developed by the Dai Nippon Printing Company can read special smart tags on clothing and instruct the user the best method with which to wash the clothes. Not only that, but the LG-built unit can keep track of how many times a particular item has been washed, what material it is made out of, and can even send an email or SMS when your load of laundry is complete.

Just what will they think of next?
(My guess is probably a smart dryer.)

There is a wealth of information available on the Internet and in separate repositories like university library databases. It would save time to be able to search all digital resources using one interface. Researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China have come up with a distributed information retrieval system that promises to help. The system could eventually become part of the Internet infrastructure as an extension of the domain name service. This has been added to Deep Web Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

A Robot that Builds Planes 04/14/2005 07:16 PM
According to a Eurkalert news release, a company called Fatronik Technological Centre has built a robot capable of climbing on aircraft fuselages and wings while carrying out precision drilling and riveting operations. Using a series of suction cups, the robot can climb on any material that will support its weight. The robot also includes a vision system for self-orienting itself in the work zone. The company plans on adapting the robot to automated ship building and other construction projects.

Microsoft builds a better Bit Torrent

Microsoft builds a better Bit Torrent 06/17/2005 03:18 PM
Researchers at Microsoft's computer science lab in Cambridge have developed a peer-to-peer filesharing system that they say overcomes the scheduling problems associated with existing distribution protocols such as Bit Torrent.

The researchers claim download times are between 20-30 per cent faster, using their network coding approach, than on systems that only code at the server, and between 200 and 300 per cent faster than distributing un-encoded information.
