going to burningman-who will be there?
Ok, who from the Semantic Web guys and girls is going to Burning Man this year?
I am going, and we are blogging here about that: I tried to find you guys by using search engines, but I am not witty enought to get the right results, so blogging and asking this question is probably ok for today.
Here is the story how I tried to find you:
This time I swoogled the semantic web to find out who lives near SFO, which indicates that they may go to burningman.
My first try was to go to swoogle.com, a very interesting website where you may lose hours during your office time. Then I found the search engine at swoogle.umbc.edu.

My first try was to go to swoogle.com, a very interesting website where you may lose hours during your office time. Then I found the search engine at swoogle.umbc.edu.
I tried to search for:
- ns:foaf SFO but this broke. Internal Server Error in /work/swoogle/www/swoogle/3.1/components/com_frontpage/writer.search.php on line 61
- perhaps not search documents, search ontologies instead. SFO - no results
- just entering francisco returned too much.
- refining to ns:foaf francisco, zero.
- at this point, I registered for an account at swoogle, perhaps then more. Hm, no.
- ah, they have a combobox where you can select foaf files. Lets do that and search for SFO.. Hm, one result, a substring match. woah, they do substrings.
- searching for "francisco" I get one foaf file seven times. It is a livejournal user, joey-francisco.
- ok, now fumbling around with the airport thingy, I tweaked it so that I can finally find Dan Brickley, as an example. this search for a foaf:person with nearest airport EDDG.
- btw: it also works when you search for "any resource": search
- ok, now my SFO search. brought nothing.
- semanticwebsearch for burningman. Brings some RSS feeds. Ok, that are bloggers. I need semweb bloggers though.
- perhaps some foaf person said something in interests or so? search, nothing.
- with "burning man" we get two livejournal users.
- google for burningman semantic web. 50.000 results. My own blog post on clothes is far on top, first page.
- hm, groucho marx said not to join a club that would accept you. So that high ranked blog entry of myself, hm. Ok, first ranked was a #rdfig scratchpad entry. But the nym user on #rdfig only pointed to a now dead website.
- I limit to 2006. limit to 2006, to get this years burners. My blog post again.
- Looking at the results, I find the blog of Peter Brown at http://www.blogsicle.net/

playainfo
i will put down my info in playainfo (near center camp), and will try to check my messages on there under 'nym'.
leobard, i suggest you do the same, playainfo is very cool (although still very much a closed system). i had aspirations in the past to make a competitive system, but they're already doing a huge amount of work.
see you in 14 days!

Swoogle's down for the moment
BTW, all of your searching on swoogle.com has been noted and is being integrated into AOL's search database, along with your interest in burningman.
sorry to hear that swoogle is down
