Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.

So, I was farting around with RDFpic and I even went as far as to write a little widget that tries to pre-populate the RDF meta-data with corresponding EXIF data. Basic stuff like the date. The Photo-RDF spec says you should not use the identifier element to note the URI of your image. It is reserved for some random, and possibly repeating, internal marker that your camera uses to flag individual images. The logic here escapes me but, whatever. I want an identifier that points to the actual image, I think, so I'll just use the handy dc:identifier instead. I wrote the RDF to a separate file and then I imported it in to an image I was munging with RDFpic. So far, so good. Next, I immediately exported the data to another file to see what it looked like :



 <s0:http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/identifier>



  /home/asc/tmp/photo/2003/07/19/20030719-img_0013.jpg



 </s0:http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/identifier>



  



 # Which in case you're not sure



 # yields the following error:

I went to the Commerce and Design expo on Friday afternoon

which was cheaper, lamer and just plain plus quétaine than last year's show. A few notable exceptions were :
  • fridgeland , less because I really liked the furniture (I don't think it will age very well) but more because their website made me laugh.
  • xera , whose kitchen designs don't actually look like they were tested with honest cooks. Still the zero_2 is pretty clever, modulo the electric burners and faucet that will probably need repairing every four and a half months.
  • messier designers , who would do well to flesh out their website if they're seriously looking for companies to mass produce their very nice "Flo" faucet; it's a free-standing, shiny chrome dealie where the arm juts out at a ninety degree angle from the shaft. Its unclear what the potential for dowsing yourself is (why do they never install plumbing at these shows?) but it will probably be a big hit with the less-is-more crowd.
  • Namber-pamber-umlaut-gobble, or something like that. I wrote the name down somewhere...oh, here it is: nienkämper . I note, however, that they don't bother to include the nice chair I sat in on their website and that they are responsible for producing tables with those silly spinal cord thingies . Oh well, it may have just been that the sum of the chair and my spiffy Italian shoes was greater than either of its parts.

www.localharvest.org

Local Harvest maintains a definitive and reliable "living" public nationwide directory of small farms, farmers markets, and other local food sources. Our search engine ... helps people find local sources of sustainably grown food, and encourages them to establish direct contact with family farms in their local area.

I found this linked from the OpenMap project (that rumbling sound you're hearing is the FOAF weenies getting excited) which is also pretty cool.

Subject: Glossaries - XPath, SAX and benchmarks




Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2002 15:35:43 -0400 (EDT)



From: Aaron Straup Cope 



To: Karl Dubost 



Cc: Steph



Subject: Glossaries: XPath, SAX and benchmarks







So, I sat down and did some tests this morning per 
our
conversation

 



about glossaries and XBEL and XPath.







It's a bit depressing given the nature of the XPath query you need to pull



stuff out of an XBEL document :







"/xbel//bookmark[title=\"$keyword\"]/\@href"







Since the &lt;bookmark> element can be either next to the root
&lt;xbel> element



or contained in an arbitrary number of nested &lt;folder> elements,
there



isn't much too do except sniff around every node until you find what



you're looking for.







Which takes a long time. Longer than you'd normally want anyway...







On the other hand, if you just use a plain old SAX widget to find the



keyword, it takes roughly 1/4 to 1/5 of the time to do a lookup.







Below are benchmarks for 100 iterations of a subroutine that does 5



keyword lookups against an XBEL file.







Note that the XPath query doesn't even instantiate a new object; the same



object is shared across all 500 calls to 'find'. The SAX query on the



other hand, instantiates a new filter and a new parser for each lookup.







Obviously, some clever caching of lookups would speed things up as well.







****

Jan Sipke van der Veen : Multiple webservers behind one IP address

"This article discusses a network setup where multiple webservers reside behind one IP address. Such a situation may arise when you need a specific webserver for one task and a different webserver for another task, running different operating systems or webserver software. With only one IP address available from the Internet, you could simply use Network Address Translation (NAT) with port forwarding. However, this forces you to give each webserver an ugly URL with a non-standard port number. Luckily, there is a better way. In the setup described in this article, each webserver can be reached via its own fully qualified domainname on the standard HTTP port (80)."

Me : SAX - measure twice, cut once

I spent some time familiarizing myself with the current crop of Perl SAX widgets last night. Before I went to bed, I asked the perl-xml list if I was actually "getting it". Apparently I am and the list offered a variety of pointers, suggestions and observations.
I am planning to use XML::Directory::SAX to do the initial slurp, pass the output on to a filter to prune the results (calling YA parser to pull in relevant data from certain files and then write the whole thing out to a new file. To date, I have something that looks like this...

No one asked, but since I'm already having a bad day

I would just like to say that Radiohead have got to be one of the worst bands to ever grace the musical landscape. Frankly, they come pretty close to giving the whole concept of music a bad name. It's like listening to the soundtrack to 37°2, le matin played at 15RPM with squeaky chalk being dragged across a blackboard in the background. A worthy successor to the loathesome drivel that The Smiths wrought on the world...

Randal L. Schwartz : Mac OSX 10.1 - mod_perl build instructions

"Apparently, mod_perl wants to be built static into Apache on OSX, and yet wants to use mod_so to load any additional thingies like Apache::Request or Apache::Template. So after many hours of trying different combinations of things, I finally yelled out "Yippee Skippee"..."
