Is Ulysses Overrated?
02/16/2004 04:02 PM With the centenary of the first Bloomsday coming later this year,
the scene for a showdown between Joyceans, literary critics and
generic whiners of all sorts has been set. The perennial debate
regarding the worth of James Joyce's Ulysses has been sparked off yet
again by a dude called Roddy Doyle.

04/26/2004 01:01 PMToo many open source advocates complain about Microsoft writing
terrible buggy software and think that open source developers do it
better. The truth is Microsoft is innovative, has vision, and
executes well. If open source developers can do as well as Microsoft,
it's a big compliment. Smart people like Miguel de Icaza and Brendan
Eich have known this for a long time. Miguel has a reality check for
these innocent virgins, giving
his
assessment of the potential of XAML and Avalon.
Brendan (one of the Mozilla leads) has a frank assessment of Mozilla too. Not too positive. I talked
about this last
year.
However i think that Miguel and Brendan are just hyping things up.
XAML and Avalon may be great technology but no one is waiting for
Longhorn to implement web based apps - everyone is implementing them
NOW!

introduction to Avalon by Charles Petzold.

Epistemology and Ontology of Programmers
Epistemology and Ontology of Programmers
06/17/2004 11:54 AMA new paper by David King and Chris Kimble of York
Univerisity explores the philisophical assumptions about reality
behind
common software design methods. The paper, titled "
Uncovering
epistemological and ontological assumptions of software
designers" (PDF format), explains that object-oriented design is
not
based on a rationalist epistemology but, instead, argues that
knowledge
is the result of observation. OO design further relies on the
assumption
that once a description is derived by observing reality, the
two somehow remain synchronised, allowing a programmer to learn new
things about reality by studying his description of it! A "holistic"
design
method also described seems to be the only method denying the
equivalence of both the programmer's mental model to reality and
the programmer's code to his mental model. This seems
most likely to me but the paper points out embedded
software applications in which an almost exact match between model
and reality exists. A simplified slide-presentation
(PDF format) of the paper is also available. Okay, it's not
specifically
robotics related, but I found it very entertaining.

06/05/2005 11:55 PMIf you've got sharp eyes, you might have noticed that categories
have made their way back onto megnut.com entries. As part of my "slow
but steady" redesign process, I've recategorized all my entries into
topics more manageable than I had before. I haven't set up any
category archive pages yet, but will at some point soon. I don't know
whether this will be useful or not, but it seemed like a good idea to
me.

09/09/2004 03:40 AMHere’s some more cleaning out my idea database. This is yet
another half-conceived idea that if you want to take it, flesh it out,
and run with it, it’s yours.
I get asked on occasion how to get Movable Type to use a different
templates for each category on the blog. Now that you can segment your
site with subcategories, I suspect that more people will want to do
this. So here’s a rough outline of how. Please don’t link
to this as a tutorial. I don’t want confused MT users to have to sift through my
barely coherent ramblings. But if you want to write up a tutorial on
how to do this, put a link to it in the comments.

Dynamic categories
01/16/2004 11:27 AM
A while back I stopped assigning the items I post here to categories.
It wasn't because I couldn't be bothered to do the categorization.
Quite the contrary, I'm really interested in achieving that result,
and more than willing to put some effort into it. But, although I'm
generally a huge proponent of the publishing technique I call
static serving of dynamically-generated pages, it increasingly
seemed like the wrong way to deal with categories.

powerful variation based on Berkeley DB XML; we'll explore that one
next time.) [O'Reilly

Ad-hoc categories and information

04/19/2004 01:43 PM
Ad Hoc Categorizations and the Emergence of Context Effects: "We
discuss how marketers may actively affect categorization processes to
increase product appeal, for example, in brand extensions and other
category-based product evaluations."
I am looking at Ad-hoc categories (and came across the link above)
and what they mean for information architecture.
Ad-hoc categories are categories like "things to take on a camping
trip" - they can be created immediately and form a category, even if
they didn't exist before. I believe that's the definition.
They have specific properties (for example, their members
can have nothing in common other than the fact of their membership,
while still showing gradation-of-membership effects.), and are already
being used on the web (for example Amazon's "People who bought this
book also bought" looks like an ad-hoc category.)
Of course, your copy of Women, Fire and Dangerous Things has some
things to say about ad hoc categories, and Lawrence W. Barsalou did research talking about how these are goal-derived
categories (I look at ad-hoc categories as a bit broader than
goal-derived categories. The Amazon example isn't goal-derived, for
example, but it's ad-hoc.).
I'm just starting my investigations into this particular
intersection of information architecture and cognitive psychology, any
ideas are very welcome.

Working Draft Published
11/08/2002 08:17 PM8 November 2002: The Web Ontology Working Group has published its
First Working Draft of the Web Ontology Language (OWL) Guide. The OWL
Guide demonstrates the use of OWL to formalize a domain by defining
classes and properties of those classes; define individuals and assert
properties about them, and reason about these classes and individuals
to the degree permitted by the formal semantics of the OWL language.

06/03/2004 11:42 PMRSS Feeds
Can Build Web Traffic, but Fence Sitters Note Problems
"Richard Miller's creative use of script is not unique, especially
given that RSS relies on open standards using XML. The Web is as
littered with scraped feeds as it is with the orange XML and RSS
boxes widely used to identify that a site offers its own feeds.
Miller and his fellow readers aren't stressed about business models or
strategic planning. They know content feeds can be done. They think it
makes their lives easier. They either find a way to do it or they move
on, abandoning sites that don't make the effort to provide feeds.
Today's online news universe might be divided into outlets that
have joined the RSS ranks, ones that have declined and those that
continue to take a close look.... [*]
He added: 'It's so convenient. I just can't go to the Web site
every day and make it a priority to look for stories that interest me.
I just won't use it if it's not an RSS feed.'
Even an imperfect feed was better than none to him and to the users
he's heard from who are disappointed about losing his WSJ.com feed.
Fortunately for them, Dow Jones has caught on to the interest in RSS
and plans to launch an RSS feed "in coming weeks" for the main
sections of the Online Journal, Jessica Perry, VP-business
development, said via e-mail. Like Miller's set-up, full stories
will be available only to subscribers." [OJR, via Scripting News]
I believe the term the article's author was looking for is "RSS
bigot." ;-) More from the article:
"The Christian Science Monitor's csmonitor.com started in October
2002 with 1,000 RSS files served; last March it served nearly three
million. Sites adding it recently see mounting interest, particularly
as more articles about RSS make it into the consumer press.
But news sites that don't offer even a front-page headline feed in
this online universe risk becoming irrelevant not only to bloggers who
can drive traffic with a mention of a story but to increasingly savvy
news consumers like Miller who want control....
'You need to know what it is you're trying to get out of having an
RSS feed,' cautions Eric Bauer, information architect for Boston.com.
'Early adopters looked at RSS as something cool that adds a little wow
to its site. That phase is over. A lot of people have RSS. It's still
not universal by any means but not unique.' Boston.com is getting 10,000-15,000 page views a
week from RSS feeds. Without marketing beyond the RSS link on the
front page, traffic has increased 10-fold since the feeds were
introduced earlier this year -- partly in response to reader
requests."
While libraries can't expect these kinds of numbers any time soon,
we're still going to have to provide our information to patrons in
their aggregators. Is your library prepared for this?
I'll reiterate that the fastest way to get an RSS feed for your
news and announcements is to use blog software. SLS libraries - don't forget that
we will host a blog for you for free!
