One Step Closer







One Step Closer

One Step Closer 03/11/2003 01:23 AM

The Outside Reading section there to your right has been updated to use the latest version of my RSS parser. It seems to be working fine, let me know if you notice any problems.

If things go well I should have time tomorrow after work to right some documentation for the new version, and then release it for download. Some features:

  • Fully Object-Oriented
  • Supports parsing of RSS files stored on the server.
  • Lets you export all parsed results to an external file, so the parser doesn't have to get called everytime someone calls the page. You could have a cron job call the parser every X amount of minutes to reduce server load.
  • Cleaning and easier outputting of parsed feeds.
  • Designed with forward compatibility in mind (it will be easily adaptable to take advantage of PHP 5's OOP improvements).
  • Retrieve results in either an associate array or as an object.
  • Cleaner error checking. Also the error checking is much easier to adapt to your own logging scheme, such as to a database.

Robotsapien One Step Closer


Robotsapien One Step Closer 06/04/2004 10:32 AM
Dave Hrynkiw says: "Just got word from our favourite roboticist, Mark Tilden. Looks like the Robosapien is live on store shelves...in the UK and parts of USA, anyways. I can't get ahold of the Canadian distribution channel yet." Dave also provided a link to the latest version of the official Robosapien website. Don't forget you can also order these things from Amazon.com at a slight discount. Amazon doesn't show the robot as in stock yet but is taking pre-orders. And don't miss our previous article on Robosapiens which degenerated into a discussion of chiggers and Egyptian surveying techniques.

One Step Closer To Teleportation


One Step Closer To Teleportation 06/17/2004 05:16 AM
Nearly three years ago, we wrote about breakth roughs in atomic entanglement that could lead to advancements in quantum computing and teleportation. It seems that much of that research has continued as two separate groups of researchers have now used entanglement to successfu lly teleport the quantum state of an atom. As the article points out, the fact that two separate research groups came up with similar results (using slightly different methods) is particularly promising. It is amusing, though, to note that just about every article discussing atomic teleportation feels the need to explain that this is nothing like Star Trek style teleportation.

One step closer to Podcasting
Proliferation!
01/03/2005 02:47 PM

No I am not talking as someone had suggested of my plan to take over the world of podcasting, but about a new product that is trying to find a investor to get it from prototype to production. The so called iRoamer is basically a Internet Ready portable Radio.

My thought has always been that it will not be long before my car stereo either comes with built in WiFi were I can push my Podcast to the car from the house or carry a memory stick to the car when I walk out the door.

My thoughts on the ultimate vision of Podcasting is that as you download the shows you are subscribed to the software that does this will automatically load it on your portable media device, your car in the driveway, obviously your laptop and maybe even push it to your computer at work. Hopefully the player software will be smart enough to tag were you stopped listening and update that placeholder on other devices your syncing to. [iRoamer]


One Step Closer To Wearable Displays


One Step Closer To Wearable Displays 05/07/2004 05:44 PM
People have been talking about display technology embedded in a pair of glasses for years, and it's looking like they may not be that far away. Microdisplay companies are doing good business building mini-screens for digital cameras and mobile phones, but the idea of wearable heads-up displays is where they expect the big money to come from. They're already being used in military and medical environments, but they're moving one step down the latter to industrial uses as well. From there, it's not that much farther to go for more general purposes. Right now, most of the heads-up displays are still bulky and ugly (though, not nearly as bulky as they were a few years ago), but the companies clearly realize where this is headed, and are working hard to make glasses with embedded displays that are both functional and "cool" looking. Combined with a phone or a personal mobile gateway device, and you could have full internet access all the time. As someone in the article points out, at that point, what we use internet access for may change in completely unexpected ways.

Anti-Spyware Bill Gets One Step Closer


Anti-Spyware Bill Gets One Step Closer 06/17/2004 07:33 PM
Despite strong lobbying efforts from a number of large tech companies, a House panel has approv ed an anti-spyware bill that would require any software to clearly tell the user that it includes traffic tracking components. It would also prohibit keystroke logging, browser/computer hijacking and ads that can't be closed. While this (of course) won't stop the worst spyware offenders who don't really care about the law, it should slow down the proliferation of annoying and sneaky adware that's almost as bad. It's still unclear which part of the law tech companies are upset with at this point. It does seem to be clearly written to only focus on "bad" spyware.

While Netflix and Tivo still haven't confirmed their rumored relationship, Netflix is still pushing forward with getting the other pieces in place for any kind of downloadable video-on-demand offering. They've now signed a deal with Warner Brothers to test movie downloads. Of course, this also demonstrates some of the hassle Netflix has to go through to build such a service. They need to go to each and every studio and convince them that (no, really) if they let Netflix help them offer video on demand it will let them rent more movies, and it won't mean the end of the movie industry because some kid figures out how to break whatever copy protection scheme they agree to use.

I even see a search for "Scott Andrew" is turning a song up from the Fray CD, with hopefully more to come.
