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.
imgSeek is a photo collection manager and viewer with content-based search and many other features. The query is expressed either as a rough sketch painted by the user or as another image you supply (or an image in your collection).
...
Query images similar to one in your collection by double-clicking on it's thumbnail. Group your photos by similarity for easy browsing. You may also have them clustered automatically by color, date (group events automatically using an adaptive clustering algorithm for time differences), filename or image features.
What in the fuck is Ben smoking?This should elevate the standard of weblogs in general, as it does away with any correlation between technical skill and artistic merit. We will no longer be reliant on geeks for top quality weblog reading. It takes the seething masses and pulls them up to the same technical level as the best Movable Type tweakers and hackers.
Sorry for all the shit talk. But the sand and the stink and the shit are on my mind. Those poor kids, those poor fuckers. Oh, America, you break my heart. You beast, you nurse, you lover. Great conflicted bloody mess.
Which strikes me as something to consider given all the bad craziness coming out of Washington these days.One of the boldest features of the [ Prevention of Genocide Act ] was also one of its most novel. Instead of requiring the president to prove that genocide was being committed, which is always hard to do while atrocities are still under way and which an administration aligned with Hussein had no incentive to demonstrate, Pell's legislation reversed the burden: President Reagan was required to certify that Iraq was not using chemical weapons against the Kurds and that it was not committing genocide.

If I were a better person, I(would(learn(lisp))) and write an Emacs
minor-mode to do that. (Sadly(,(lisp(scares(me))))).

The short answer is : I have no idea.
The longer answer is : Who cares?
There are two issues here :
The first falls into the Foofy Grand Unifying Principles category - the
people who invented the Internet didn't know what it was going to be used
for. Why should RSS, and its tool set, presume the samething as basic and
often controversial as language?
The second falls into the Dueling Shakespeare category - RFC 1766 states
that :
"In some contexts, it is possible to have information in more than one
language, or it might be possible to provide tools for assisting in the
understanding of a language (like dictionaries).
"A prerequisite for any such function is a means of labelling the
information content with an identifier for the language in which is is
written."
But in the absense of multiple language tags, the correct answer when
prigs like me start pussing is :
<quote src = "rfc1766">
The information in the subtag may for instance be:
- Country identification, such as en-US (this usage is
described in ISO 639)
- Dialect or variant information, such as no-nynorsk or en-
cockney
- Languages not listed in ISO 639 that are not variants of
any listed language, which can be registered with the i-
prefix, such as i-cherokee
- Script variations, such as az-arabic and az-cyrillic

Which doesn't solve everyone's problem, but can be adapted to deal with
the problem of Quebec. I chose en-quebecois, because I like the sound of
it. Sovereigntists, on the other hand will probably opt for 'en-qc' since
it implies nationhood.
Then, of course, there is the question of how to deal with representing a
weblog written by the province's allophone population (translation:
persons whose mother tongue is neither English nor French and who, in my
limited experience, often speak upward of 4-6 languages). What then?
qc-allophone?
There are no clear signs that ... is anything but hot air. As one person described it over beer, "everyone here is trying to find a bandwagon to get on". That said, everyone tried to get on the Internet bandwagon and there was a there there. Jon Udell said a deep thing (one of many) over beers: we're all hoping to see the Next Big Thing, but we may not see the Next Big Thing in our lifetime.
Apparently, the dead are owed another war. But they are not. What they are owed is a good, stand-up, bruising row over the fate of America; just who determines it and for what end?

opml:
attributes to be added to the XML spec itself, which struck me as equal
parts widhful thinking and slippery slope. What he really wanted was for
people to either explcitly include, or provide people with the option to
add via parameter entities something along the lines of...
<!ENTITY % opmlText "CDATA #REQUIRED"> <!ENTITY % opmlLink "CDATA #REQUIRED"> ... <!ELEMENT foo (yadda,yadda,yadda)> <!ATTLIST foo %opmlText;>...which then lets him massage any XML document into OPML and vice versa . Parameter entities, or whatever the suitably nightmarish namespace equivalent is for xsd are, allow people to say "yes, and..." and provide context for tools to validate and try and do the right thing. So long as you're okay that the various tools may play fast and easy with your more esoteric changes, everyone is happy. So, while I'm not quite ready to jump on the REST bandwagon, when I look at everything I've just said in combination with clever hacks like this browser-based xml content editor I start to wonder. But I digress...
I wonder what you could pull out of The Mirror Project with this.
It's a Python widget so in theory it shouldn't be too much work to add non-GUI interfaces or support for things RDF-ish . Neat.
