perfect exception

perfect exception

Its the perfect exception:

* Its stacked, many things happened at once
* I saw it only once and clicking OK solved it
* It includes a ASCII to UTF-8 encoding problem which usually means that you will rot in debugging for a long time
* It is related to the internet
* It mixes multiple languages: Deutsch und English
* You have no clue what it means
* It is truncated and it seems some important part is missing

What's opposite of "pelucid"?

That's gloriously perverse. It must be paradigmatic ... simply must be. But ... of what?

Oh, I know: it's hermetic!

Hi there - I just came by while watching a documentary on some of the hardware built for BurningMan08. Leo, do you know someone who's into music in a big way? I mean a big incendiary sorta way? You see one of the things I played with back in the hippie era was flame speakers. Yes, speakers that used flame as their uhhhhhh transducer. Quite a trick! The beauty of it is, the bigger the flame huh huh huh the better the bass. And, needless to say, the sound is crystalline clear.

If you know of such a person, do me a kindness and hook me up? It takes mere moments to transmit the knowledge.

cheers

Semantic Desktop Article on Linux.com

Horray: Nepomuk and KDE to introduce the semantic desktop, an Article by Bruce Byfield on August 26, 2008 on Linux.com.

Read the article:
http://www.linux.com/feature/144853

Here is the beginning lines:


If you follow technology trends, you have probably heard of the semantic desktop -- a data layer for annotating and sharing the information in your computer. But what you may not be aware of is that the semantic desktop is not a distant goal, but scheduled to arrive at the end of 2008. And, when it does, the idea will probably be implemented through the work done by the Nepomuk project, and, most likely, by KDE first.

Ansgar Bernardi, deputy head of the Knowledge Management Department at Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI, or the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence) and Nepomuk's coordinator, explains, "The basic problem that we all face nowadays is how to handle vast amounts of information at a sensible rate." According to Bernardi, Nepomuk takes a traditional approach by creating a meta-data layer with well-defined elements that services can be built upon to create and manipulate the information.

"The first idea of building the semantic desktop arose from the fact that one of our colleagues could not remember the girlfriends of his friends," Bernard says, more than half-seriously. "Because they kept changing -- you know how it is. The point is, you have a vast amount of information on your desktop, hidden in files, hidden in emails, hidden in the names and structures of your folders. Nepomuk gives a standard way to handle such information."


I like the part about the forgetting colleague ;-)
Well, now I at least remember the name of my wife....
Its good to be able to tell a story that connects to daily life problems, a seldom moment where a Semantic Web app solves a common problem ;-)

Debategraph - arguments exposed

For years we have been debating using xam.de's "Issue Based Argumentation in a Wiki" IBAW. This technique allowed us to gather arguments for crucial decisions in the NEPOMUK project.

Now behold debategraph.org debategrpah logo.
Our goal is to make the best arguments on all sides of any debate freely available to all and continuously open to challenge and improvement by all ... A wiki debate visualization tool.

Users can add pro/con arguments and deepen them with sub-arguments:
abortion_debategraph

compare it with an IBAW example:
issue: our coffee machine is broken
* idea: fix it
 * pro: cheap
 * con: takes too much time, we can't live so long without coffee
* idea: buy a new one
 * pro: fast
 * con: expensive
  * issue: we need approval form our director
   * idea: we collect money ourselves

Viral Marketing on Death Star Germany

I love the internet - it brought us this.

A crucial marketing meeting of the galactic empire about viral marketing:


Very well synchronized, excellent drama, and a good story. If you wonder why we love this som much: the original GERMAN version of this video has the same excellent story and drama of executive board meetings. And it has (as of today) 2,083,871 views. Compared to the 98 million inhabitants of Austria+Germany+Switzerland, a market reach of 2 percent - which is enormous for viral marketing :-)

Permanent Breakfast 23.8. 10:00 Pirmasenser Str 18

Wie auch hier verkündet:

Längere, dem Flashmob verwandt: Permanent Breakfast.

Wie vor zwei Jahren gibt es auch dieses Jahr wieder ein Permanentes Breakfast: das immerwährende Frühstück. Immerwährend sind inzwischen zwölfJahre, im Mai 1996 initiierte der Wiener Künstler Friedemann Derschmidt und seine Gruppe das "Permanent Breakfast".

Die Regeln sind einfach: einer lädt zum Frühstück ein, alle eingeladenen Freunde bekommen ein ordentliches Frühstück im öffentlichen Raum. Am folgenden Tag frühstücken die eingeladenen und laden wiederum Freunde ein, die Kette setzt sich fort.

Frühstück ist am
  • 23.8.2008,
  • von 10:15 bis 12:00 (pünktlich)
  • bei der Pirmasenser Strasse 18 (Fußgängerzone).
Zum gleichen Zeitpunkt steht an eben der adresse ein Oldtimer, und etwas Kunst vom angrenzenden Unicat laden, d.h. es wird bunt und nett.

Permanent Breakfast

Bitte bringt mit:
  • Tisch und Stühle (zur Not auch Decken, GymFitbälle oder ähnliches)
  • Wir können Tische organisieren, meldet euch bei Leo vorher
  • und Verpflegung.
Das entstehende Frühstück soll formal als solches erkennbar sein, dementsprechend sind tageszeitungslesende Kaffegenießer in Lehnstühlen zurücklehnend am Butterzopf knabbernd ausdrücklich erwünscht.
Bei Regenwetter? Als Kontaktmann für die Frage was bei Regen passiert dient Leo. Ruft mich einfach an: +49 176 24548974. leo(at)gnowsis.com
