Weblog (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 22:37:41

Gravatar
Every gravatar [1] submission is rated with an MPAA style rating [2] before it is made publicly available. This allows implementors to decide on the rating level that is suitable for their site. A "G" rated gravatar is suitable for display on all websites with any audience type. Nothing potentially offensive will be given this rating.
I need to add a gravatar plug-in in this blog I guess. ;)

Blogger Meeting in Bern
Weblog (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 13:47:16

There will be a blogger meeting in Bern in about three weeks time [1]. I will try to attend it. To give it some dynamic I have left a note in the WikiAgenda and trackbacked this event from this post... Just playing ;)

[1] http://circle.ch/wiki/WikiAgenda.20041127

Update: It just seems that that Wiki trackback does not work anymore. The hosting partner switched to safe_mode which probably causes the problem. I will need to find a workaround.

Playing Skip-bo over the Network
Social Network (wiki) | Java (wiki) - urs @ 21:43:11

Just found a java implementation of Skip-bo which should run over a network [1]. Never mind if the manual says that the game only works on Windows, I have it running on OS X too ;-)
$ java -cp skipbo.jar skipbo.SkipBo
... or start skipnet_de.jnlp with Java Webstart. To configure an intranet game worked like this:

- PC1: start a Skip-Server on your local IP e.g. 192.168.0.5
- PC1: enter a Nickname
- PC2: search manually for a Skip-Server and enter the server's address: 192.168.0.5
- PC2: enter a Nickname

SharedID and talkr.net ideas
Weblog (wiki) | Crosspost (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 17:40:07

Both, on SharedID [1] and talkr.net [2] have been quite some discussion over potential comment identification resp. authentication systems. The other day I reawakended my crosspost idea based on trust levels with FOAF [3]. SharedID has an interesting demo online, where "a service magically" retrieves your FOAF file to a give email address and finally completes a comment form with the appropriate user data [4].

What I would like here is a common service API to make that service compatible. Oh, no, I haven't forgotten about George [5] Orwell ;-)

Megapixel camera phones
Wireless and Mobile (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 16:19:54

Nokia now has a 1 megapixel camera phone too; Nokia 7610 [1]. Sharp announced one earlier: Sharp GX 30 [2], which is Vodafone live! compatible.

Both phones still do not seem to support the Push-To-Talk (PTT) technology; textually.org has a whole lot of information about it [3]:
Instead of dialling a number, users will be able to highlight a name on their cell phone screen and press a button to talk to them instantly. No ringing, no waiting.

Similar to Instant Messaging, «Push To Talk» technology will allow users to create a liste of friends (who must first give their OK), enabling them to see who has their mobile turned on.

XFN to indicate personal relationship (lightweight FOAF)
Weblog (wiki) | Civil Society (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 15:01:42

Get an impression on XFN [1] first:
XFN is a lightweight method of annotating links to indicate a personal relationship with the person responsible for the linked resource, and as such strengthens existing links in a manner that is both machine-readable and human-comprehensible.

Technically speaking, XFN is a relationship datatype with suggested values provided for ease of use in a wide variety of situations, including HTML, XHTML, and XML documents. Thanks to its simplicity and its foundation in existing specifications, it is very easily understood, and it is easily adopted by authors. By building upon the links that already exist in the Web, XFN complements existing information in place, as it were.
XFN in combination with CSS2 enables a very easy way to viszalize annotations. XFN is much easier to parse and handle and from that point of view, I am sure it will spread faster in conjunction with blogs as FOAF currently is doing. It is no replacement of FOAF but a gateway drug ;-p

1st OPCOSO Thinkathon
Open Source (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 23:59:22

Did not manage to post something earlier; so here is a short summary on the 1st OPCOSO Thinkathon: Sandro Zic and others organized an Event to be held in the library of the Tübingen University to discuss mainly Open Source Business Models [1]. There were about 80 attendees - Journalists, Programmers, Open Source Evangelists and a lot more, such as Patrick Lemoine, VP Enterprise Business EMEA from MySQL AB. The keynote has been given by Prof. Dr. Herbert Klaeren from the University of Tübingen [2]. He gave us a good starting point with his review on the Open Source "history". The discussion before lunch was meant to gather topics on Open Source Business Models, Open Content, proprietary software, Licenses etc. to dig deeper into them after 1:30 p.m.

The Organizing Team did a very good job on glue all the different discussions from people with variuos backgrounds together. While discussing, Gregor [3] wrote down the statements to the IRC channel, which was shown in realtime in the plenum. Sometimes this gave like two "parallel" discussions; I like that idea a lot. Please visit the OPCOSO website for a final summary. Unfortunately I could not stay later that 6 p.m. since my train took five hours back to Bern.

Just to finish up; if you ever get the chance to attend such a Thinkathon [4]; go there!

FOAF - Trust and Reputation
XML (wiki) | Crosspost (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) | Random Thought (wiki) - urs @ 01:03:22

Today I found the Trust and Reputation project homepage for FOAF [1]. You can now upload your FOAF file and rate the people you know resp. the ones you have listed in your file. There is a perl script to convert your addressbook to a textfile for an easier conversion to add to the FOAF file [1]. Give it a go and build your own Orkut; at least I could imagine some nice applications. I just had a random thought about a single sign-on management for online services. According to the trust given, my friends could be able or not to post to a certain blog, a calendar, a newsletter or what so ever... Just a thought to reawaken my crosspost idea ;)

BlueFOAF - Find Nearby FOAFs With Bluetooth
Wireless and Mobile (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 00:06:09

[via mobilewhack, 1] Well, BlueFOAF finds nearby friends with via bluetooth; Edd [2] has written BlueFOAF with Python [3] for Linux. It is just a guess, but if the bluetooth in a Nokia 60 Series is accessible for Python, why should BlueFOAF not work on mobile phones?

So, if you do not know the person in a restaurant next to you, having his or her mobile phone with enabled bluetooth on the table, you might probably know one of his or her friends and get in contact that way. Imagine how that will stare at you, if you ask:
"Are you a friend of X?"

Adds disturbing the Blog frontpage
Weblog (wiki) | Economy (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) | Wiki (wiki) - urs @ 15:52:50

The ad banner, which was below the latest post, was kind of disturbing the whole frontpage of my Blog so I decided to remove it. Even though it would have helped to support this site I changed my mind. When I started blogging some years ago - at that time I called it "posting news" - I did not expect that anyone would ever read those snippets at all. Serious. It was more a digital post-it [1] notes like style of jotting down some of my ideas and enabling a resource for myself as well. Quite often I use the search feature of that blog to look up for something which I nearly forgot, that I ever wrote about it; by the way... I need to extend the search feature on both, the blog and the wiki. Thanx for reading and commenting...

Eventually dropped your mail
Technology (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 00:43:12

Well, if you wrote me a mail today and did not get an answer, then maybe you chose a topic that fitted to one of these:
  • 160 "deliver"

  • 132 "virus"

  • 57 "returned"

  • 38 "notification"

  • 11 "attachment"

  • 7 "message"

  • 5 "scan"
How was it the other day [1], when email was not yet existing?
1971 Ray Tomlinson (BBN) sends the first email (probably "QWERTYUIOP"), after having written a first FTP (File Transfer Protocol: "CPYNET") to send files from one ARPANET PDP-10 computer to another in his office. He choosed "@" to start the address after the name of the receiver.
I am sure to choose other ways of communication as soon as possible. Services like email seem to be antiquated. But probably it is not the service but the way they get taken over and manipulated by a certain kind of users. It is up to each of us taking occurrences like this as motivation to evolve new ways of communication.

It is time we get IPv6 and every wearable offers the possibility to access to the net so we can choose the most suitable "communication environment" depending on the situation.

About blogging at the EPFL and social connotation
Weblog (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 22:29:25

The Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne has an official blog [1] based on MovableType and various partly active accounts [2].

The paper is about social and cognitive functions of spatiality, gathered from various sources ranging from psychology (environmental, social and cognitive) to Human Computer Interaction.

Upcoming - collaborative event calendar
Weblog (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 09:02:33

[via Ross Mayfield, 1] Upcoming a free - this is already a strong statement - collaborative event calendar. You will be able to enter events you are attending, comment on events entered by others, and syndicate event listings to your own weblog. The Tonis [3] danceclub already has an account there. The calender offers an RSS feed, which makes it simple to spread the good news.

So apart from feeds on past events or posts as found in most blogs, it would be nice to have a combined or separate calendar, which is able to import multiple event feeds and send a notification email just a day before the event. Have not looked around for an implementation in b2, but that is was I actually understand as a "calendar" function, to display upcoming events.

Quite a while ago Mark has written a blogrollfinder [1] in Python. Finally the script brings up a list of People with blogs that his friends are reading, but not Mark himself, or in his own words:
And then it tallied up all the sites and sorted them by total number of links and compared it to my original blogroll and spit out a list of people whom my community is reading that I'm not.

Just too sad that it is that far away:
BloggerCon [1] is a conference about weblogs on October 4 and 5 on the campus of Harvard Law School. The focus of BloggerCon is weblogs in journalism, education, science, business and politics. We're interested in people's experiences with weblogs, now that they've been in use for five or six years, depending on who you ask. This is not a technical visionary venue, nor is it a place for political activism. Our interest is in the use of weblogs. Of course technology and politics are related to the use of weblogs.

Skype is yet another VoIP (Voice over IP) client software - currently provided freely - as a Beta version. The team behind this tool is based on Kazaa people and many of their implementations of details, such as the protocol are proprietary. The Slashdot discussion points out some alternative solutions. Speakeasy is one of them. John Walker - the founder of Autodesk - coded Speakfreely some years ago. John Walker [4] recently made a "End of Life Announcement" of this software as its first release dates back to 1991:
Speak Freely shows its age. The code is messy, difficult to understand, and very easy to break when making even small modifications. The Windows and Unix versions, although interoperable, have diverged in design purely due to their differing histories, almost doubling the work involved in making any change which affects them both.
But as John Walker opensourced the code, it is available for further development on Sourceforge. And if the
voip makes noise like cat > /dev/audio
... have a look at this thread [5] ;-)

PeopleAggregator has been launched
Software (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 14:00:23

[via Coronate, 1] Marc Canter is working on building a social network based upon FOAF - called the Peopleaggregator.com [2]. In his words
It's up - but just barely right now. Lots of interesting notions built into it - which I'll be covering - soon.
FOAF is about a Friend of a Friend, a markup language for relationships [3].

Parsing for trusted FOAFs
Crosspost (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 13:10:41

Having set up a new category "Crosspost", I will - after having come back from the Gurten Festival [1] - try to implement a parser to let chregu [2] crosspost to my blog.

Wie zitiere ich im Usenet?
Social Network (wiki) | Deutsch (wiki) - urs @ 12:00:00

3. Zitatzeichen ("Quotezeichen")

3.1 Welches Zeichen soll ich als Quotezeichen verwenden?
Ein Größerzeichen (»>«). Dies wird von so gut wie jedem Newsreader als solches erkannt und ist auch technischen (Son-of-RFC 1036 und Nachfolger) und sozialen Regeln (Netiquette) so erwähnt.
