Two comets coming!







Two comets coming!

Two comets coming! 04/09/2004 04:11 PM

I wonder what my astrological chart says about this.

A good reason to head South for May.

Two Comets in May

In May we'll be treated to a pair of comets that are rare visitors from the Oort Cloud. Their names are NEAT (C/2001 Q4) and LINEA R (C/2002 T7). The picture above is one my seven-year old boy, who is even more into this stuff than I am, insisted I put up. It's copied out of the excellent Starry Night Pro Plus. When I get the Linux laptop back I'll be wanting to try the same thing with also excellent KStars. The image shows the placement of the inner planets and the two comets around May 15.

Unfortunately for us North Hemispherians, the show will be most visible from the South half of the planet.

Bonus link: A Java comet tracking program, following NEAT at the NASA site. Zoom in, center on Earth and watch how close this mother comes. Almost a bull's eye.

It's to bad really that ICANN buckled to pressure and has agreed to allow the xxx domains go forward. Being that they have I wish their was a way to take all of them that exsist on com, org, biz etc and shove them over there and forever ban them from the other extensions. But this will never happen. But at least from my perspective that segment will be easy to ban in all of my machines. [Yahoo]

O' Reilly's Emerging Technology Conference....

O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology Conference…

Posted Jan 15, 2004, 6:54 PM ET by Judith Meskill

O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology Conference — taking place at the Westin Horton Plaza, San Diego, CA, Feb. 9-12, 2004 — will have a Social Software track. This promises to be an excellent event with a broad spectrum of notable speakers that includes (but is certainly not limited to): Helen Greiner - iRobot Corp., Cory Doctorow - EFF, Lili Cheng - Microsoft Research, Gilman Louie - In-Q-Tel, David Sifry - Technorati, Joichi Ito - Neoteny, Elizabeth Lawley - Rochester Institute of Technology, and, of course, Tim O’Reilly - O’Reilly & Associates. [The Social Software Weblog]

This is the key event of the year.  We're gonna party like is USED to be 1999.

I'll be there - sponsored by Laszlo Systems and I'll be giving a :05 minute talk on FOAF and the PeopleAggregator.

But clearly the most exciting event will be the field trip to TJ and the House of Mole.  Something not to be missed.

Versioning -- Coming Up


Versioning -- Coming Up 01/22/2004 07:33 PM

We'll be posting drafts of the new versions of our licenses later this week. About a month of review time will follow, and then we'll revise as needed and turn the new licenses on. Throughout the next couple of weeks we will explain how the process of versioning will happen.

Meantime, here's a preview of the highlights:

  • Warranties will now be a matter of choice for the licensor. The new licenses will disclaim warranties, but licensors will of course be free to negotiate warranties with licensees who demand them. (We'll also work on a protocol to help people add warranties if they want to -- but that will come later on.) Special thanks to Karl-Friedrich Lenz and Dan Bricklin and many more for persuading us on this point. More explanation in a separate post soon.
  • The attribution clause will include a link-back requirement simliar to the one previously discussed here. Licensees will only be required to link back to licensors if (1) it's reasonably practical to do so; (2) the licensor actually specifies a URI; (3) that URI actually points to license information about the work.
  • The Share Alike provision will be more flexible. The provision will allow licensees to license resulting derivative works under Creative Commons licenses that feature the same license restrictions/permissions, including future and iCommons versions of the same license.
  • The Share Alike provision will also be clearer about what happens when different kinds of Share Alike content is mixed together (e.g., How to license a collage made from an SA photograph combined with an NC-SA photograph).
  • We're still looking into the issue of compatibility between our SA licenses and the GNU FDL. Compared to the above improvements, this potential tweak came on our radar pretty recently. We'll do our best to address it. Thanks to the many of you who've written in on this point.
  • Other minor tweaks.

More soon.


Coming up on ActiveWin


Coming up on ActiveWin 09/19/2004 11:38 AM
Here's another of our regular looks into what is on the way here at ActiveWin over the coming month: Firstly we have a number of new reviews on the way in the next couple of weeks. We have reviews of the ATI X800 Pro and NVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra Graphics cards. Reviews of the new Microsoft Keyboard with Fingerprint reader along with some of the other new hardware Microsoft announced the other week.

On the Xbox we have reviews of Outrun 2, Fable, Terminator: Redemption, Burnout 3, Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude, Star Wars: Battlefront along with many others.

So a big month for reviews on the way. We also have the opening of our Windows Mobile section for Smartphones, Pocket PCs and PocketPC Phones coming out this week.

Ice Robots Are Coming


Ice Robots Are Coming 03/14/2005 06:03 PM

nomad_snow_robot.jpgWe dig robotic rovers, so robotic rovers able to traverse sub-zero Antarctic ice sheets while receiving power from the sun and wind are always enough to catch our eye. Carnegie Mellon tells us that their Nomad rover (which earlier trekked 135 miles through Chile's Atacama Desert and across Antarctica) is being prepped to search for signs of living microorganisms on the surface of the ice. Outfitted with a wind turbine for the first time, the Nomad made it 6 miles through the snow and ice of the frozen Lake Mascoma while researchers studied the possibility of powering it both with solar and wind energy. Further development will include an ice coring and sampling device as well as a fluorescence spectrometer. (Thanks, James!)

We're in the final steps of getting ready an alpha release of ourmedia.org.

It doesn't do everything we originally wanted it to do - but hey, that's life.

Folks will be able to upload video, audio, images and text - attach all sorts of meta-data and tags to their published work - and then share it within a community - using internal messages, buddies, forums, personal pages - yes - that's right - a social network for media trading and sharing.

CC licenses are built in, storing it all at the Internet Archives - free, free - absolutely free.

Free storage. Free bandwidth. Free culture.

Thanks Brewster and thank you Larry.

PS: Version 1.5 will be a free upgrade for everyone who purchased a previous version.
