The Technical University of Vienna has a blogging service for its students.

http://twoday.tuwien.ac.at/

it was done by http://www.knallgrau.at the company that also hosts the weblog that you are reading here.

according to the press release:
http://www.tuwien.ac.at/pr/pa/pa_04_40.shtml

they plan to enable 15000 students und 2500 Scientific People to start blogging. The project should be accompanied by research initiatives. They are inspired by other universities that also allow blogging.

looks like a good idea to me to generate Semantic Web content.

I made a Permanent Breakfast in my New Home Kaiserslautern.

what a day, we had an Art Dealer, two Researchers from DFKI, my Wife, and the freak who is me. Breakfast was good, although we had to get some more tea.

Pictures and some more info about permanent breakfast is available.

Ingrid und ich gehen so durch meine NeueHeimat

Dabei muss man wissen, dass in Kaiserslautern die US Luftwaffenbasis Rammstein ganz nah ist. Was insofern ok ist, da die schon seit dem Krieg da sind und einiges hier investieren und Arbeitsplätze schaffen usw... (ok, man könnte hier viel negatives schreiben über Luftwaffenbasen, aber das kann ja jeder).

Lassen wir eher die Fakten sprechen. In einem Viertel, in dem viele Amerikaner leben (was man an den Chryslers in den Vorgärten sieht), finden Ingrid und ich einen Glas-Container.



Da stehen zwei Aufschriften, was mensch denn da nun reinwerfen solle, kurz gesagt: Grünglas, ihr affen!.

Auf deutsch steht da:
"Einwurf nur für Grünglas. Kein Porzellan, Steingut oder Keramik einwerfen."

Auf English:
"For Green Glass Only - by order of the commander"

was der deutsche von natur aus versteht, muss man dem gast aus den USA militärisch befehlen :-)
geil!

Gehe so durch meine NeueHeimat
und seh da einen Metzger. Metzgerei Ofiara:



Da steht: "Metzgerei Ofiara. Fleisch und Wurstspezialitäten. Man ist, was man ißt."
???

Was soll mir das als Kunden sagen?
"Ihr seid alle Schweine und Rindviecher!"

I made many changes to gnowsis in this prerelease phase. Today i focussed on updating my foaf file. To do it right, I made some hacks:

* Written a Jena Model accessed another Jena Model through XML/RPC. Great to have models remote with a fingersnip.

* Written a ExoBot, that takes some Jena commands (liststatements, query, etc) and executes the commands to build a new model. Fine to do recursive queries and sub-queries.

* exo-foaf, my foaf file creator now talks to the gnowsis server through XML/RPC.

Result is a foaf file that finally looks like all the other foaf files out there.

17 work days left unti release...

I plan to publish the gnowsis alpha on 28th September, 12:00 berlin time.

So I still have 20 workdays to go, to ....

write the documentation, test it, build tarballs, write an installer, test it, drink coffee, hate my computer, write ontologies, hire new employees, obfuscate the dirty hacks, work on my todo lists, create new todos, hate todo lists, talk to developers, talk to my people, get the website running, get the website looking decent, test the website, use gnowsis, integrate our research project, write papers, love god + my neighbor + myself ...

So the time is not enough, but something will be done.

I will post updates here from time to time (probably daily) to keep you udpated and to keep myself on track.
