impact has a new homepage

My old employer, Impact computing, has a new homepage. Looks excellent, nice photos of the products I helped to develop. So I have to update the link on my work website to www.impactit.at

impact it startpage

Funnily, the picture is taken at the actual office, the rooms are about 50m to the right (I think), the depicted people are on the bridge between two skyscrapers. I used the bridge to come from the office to the coffee-machine. Excellent view.

Wishing best for Impact-It and the new product they did, EDOCTA. The good old PORTACON still contains my handwriting, and sells good.

Silly Walks Flashmob

FlashMob Ministry of Silly Walks
Kommt am Mittwoch, den 13.02.2008,
pünktlich um 17:45 Uhr
an die Bushaltestelle Rathaus.


Achtet auf eine gepflegte Erscheinung (z.B. Anzug, Aktentasche, Melone, ...) Wir performen den Silly-Walk bis 17:55 und verschwinden dann wieder.

Als Anregung:
Monty Python's Ministry of Silly Walks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqhlQfXUk7w

Bitte verbreitet diesen Aufruf über e-mail, SMS, Telefon, ...

Was ist zu beachten? (aus www.flash-mobbers.net)
1. Wenn Du schon hingehst, dann mach auch mit! Aber nicht stehen bleiben und
glotzen!
2. Erscheine erst zum abgemachten Zeitpunkt (pünktlich)!
3. Folge genau den vorgegebenen Anweisungen!
4. Je mehr es wissen, desto grösser wird die Community. Also: weitersagen!
5. Keine Körper- oder Sachbeschädigungen, Beschimpfungen, etc.! Flash-Mobbers
sind friedlich und wollen Spass haben. Und es gibt einen guten Ruf zu
verlieren.
6. Die "Action-Area" zügig wieder verlassen und seiner Wege gehen.
7. Wenn jemand fragt, was das sei oder wer das organisiert hätte, antworten,
dass man spontan da sei.

Bis dann!
Die FlashMobbers.

Author needed for German Article on Semantic Web

The german magazine createordie.de is covering the topic "next generation web" in an upcoming issue and searching for an author for the topic of Semantic Web. (the rest in german).

Ich wurde vom Verlag gefragt, ob ich selber einen Artikel schreiben würde, leider habe ich aber momentan zu wenig Zeit (wir haben bald Projekt-Review) um einen guten Artikel zu schreiben. Aber der eine oder andere Leser ist ja selbst Autor.

Konkret sind für den Artikel vier Seiten eingeplant, eine Seite fasst 4.000 Zeichen sowie zwei Bilder, insgesamt also 16.000 bis 17.000 Zeichen sowie 8 bis 10 Bilder. Deadline ist der 25. Februar 2008. Der Verlag honoriert den Text, nicht zu verwechseln mit Wissenschaftlichen Publikationen.

Falls du Semantic Web Experte bist, und bereits Artikel veröffentlicht hast, bitte wende dich direkt an den Chefredakteur Felix Schrader, Kontaktdetails bei createordie. Wie immer, es geht um die öffentliche Sicht aufs Semantic Web, da ist es wichtig ein gutes Bild zu bringen.

In own interest: selling netrunner cards, buying lens

Again, its time to let go. After playing the good old Netrunner game from time to time, but not often enough, I want to pass it on. Netrunner is a trading card game designed by Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: The Gathering. It is full of insider gags from classic cyberpunk (Neuromancer, etc). Words like "Wilson" or "Chiba" will trigger the right synapses. One player is the evil corporation trying to make big money, the other is a witty hacker trying to steal information from the company by breaking into their network.

netrunner

My favorite card is "Fortress Architects" because of its text:
"You want us to build that? Not even God has the money to afford that!"

"You're working for Saburo Arasaka, not God."


Ok, I will keep my favorite cards and enough for two players to gamble from time to time, but I sell the the worthy rare cards (and the others) on ebay. If you are interested in one or the other card or more, buy them.
At the moment, I am the only one selling netrunner on ebay.de.
All revenue made goes into a "good-mood" cause, last year I bought myself a Nintendo WII, this year its going to be a nice Sigma 1.4 Aperture 30mm lens for my Canon Eos, because my party pics need more light.

Google Data API and GData

Since 2006, google collects API programming interfaces in the Google Data (gdata) project. At their website, you find links to google docs, calendar, spreadsheet, youtube, and more.

http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/

It is a one-stop place to find interfaces for the various google services. For Semantic Web developers, it is also a good overview how google shapes its interfaces to its web-based applications. Get inspired by the pros.

Especially the GData protocol and data format is worth a look. It's a generic API for getting and querying data, based on RSS 2.0 and Atom.
In the GData reference, you find a description of the Atom extensions and a simple query-format extending it.

Assuming a feed is hosted at the URI http://www.example.com/feeds/jo, then elements within the feed can be queried with the following URI:

http://www.example.com/feeds/jo?q=Darcy&updated-min=2005-04-19T15:30:00

A kind of "easy going sparql".

In their own words:
The Google data APIs provide a simple standard protocol for reading and writing data on the web.

These APIs use either of two standard XML-based syndication formats: Atom or RSS. They also have a feed-publishing system that consists of the Atom publishing protocol plus some extensions (using Atom's standard extension model) for handling queries.

Many Google services support the Google data API protocol.
