posts brought to you by the category “zope”
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.

Simon Schama : The Dead and the Guilty
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?

Alex Ulmanu : What about SMS journalism?
"What better use can one get for the old inverted
pyramid? Since journalism students learn that when writing news stories
they have to give as much information as possible in as few words as
possible, SMS seems to be the ultimate expression of journalistic
concision."

"My feeling is that for iCalendar in RDF to be
usable, a huge file describing every aspect of it is not what's needed.
Instead I've started to split it up into smallers parts, starting with
the properties and classes I've used most often when trying to describe
meetings, conferences and so on - I've called this the 'core' set."

RDFQL
"In response to this posting of the rdf-calendar
newsgroup, I put together some simple examples of things we can do with
RDFQL and the sample calendar data. All examples use a few simples RDFQL

The Ubergeeks : "Code is an expressive language,
just as are mathematical formulae, music scores
and dance choreography. ... That code is literary also is illustrated by
the many devotees of Perl poetry, or, on the other side of the coin, by
the International Obfuscated C Code Contest which seeks to illustrate
through the irony of functional but poorly written code (deliberately so,
for the purpose of the contest) the importance of good writing style."

"is a Python program that extracts images and
notes of the eyemodule pdb files and lets you view or convert them to
jpeg files which are put in directories reflecting the categories. It
optionally creates a HTML thumbnail index of the images." yippee!
