| I lost my old phone or it got stolen so now I scraped up all the money I could get and bought a Nokia 3650 and got an GPRS-connection that should be operational tomorrow and after that I'm free to roam and work on [[cium]] at the same time. My initial reaction to the phone is good. [[Bluetooth]]+GPRS+[[camera]] allows me to draw a scetch on paper, take a photo and then put it on the net. A little simpler then using GIMP to do the same ;) As I suspected the people behind the codec is [[Hantro]], an [[w:Oulu]], [[w:Finland]] based company. I saw some of their codecs at a fair in 2000 and they were very impressive, even as low as 100kbps streams were just sheer magic. After that I haven't heard or seen any of this company in the public, but they rule when it comes to codecs.

| ::weeding some chinese vegetable or picking up tiny vegetables (potatoes). We were two people sitting in a row next to each other, chatting for hours about...why, when, how...our fingers were busy, and without thinking, we went to our business. So we could chat...and sometimes picked up a worm or an insect
| | *[[User:Juxo/Blog/Archive/April2003]] |
| ::the [[farmer's market]]. Where you buy [[w:local food]]. Early, we left in the truck. First we had restaurant people, they were often in a hurry. Did not talk much. Then, we had the [[Elves|HouseElves]], always cravings for chit chat. Part of our business :-). Later, we had the tourists, the wanderers. Chatting too. Last, we had the poors. Often, they felt guilty, and they hid themselves. I would have liked them to be the free consumers, but, I was not the boss. Then, we could come back. To another day of weeding, picking up and washing. Or lake swimming when it was too hot. The mature melon was so good. Such a long time ago. Farmers often talk when busy with their hands. If they have someone to talk to, poor souls.

| I've had a slightly sore throat for sometime now and I'm trying to get over that so I can get back to some serious contributing. It seems that everyone is more interested in writing fancy declarations and describing elaborate concepts then getting down to the "real" work of specifying software components, which I understand because the one taking charge of the software development will have to face the issue of making it '''secure''', which is stressful.

| I just stumbled upon http://www.vrxml.org, (Vendor Reporting...) I really can't figure out what it like _really_ is but at first glance it seems to be some effort by [[NYSE]] so standardize [[vendor]] contact information, which would be kind of nice if it pulled through, because then we could use [[VRXML]] (or just make our XML compatible to it) to identify companies, their subdivisions and contact people withing companies (For arranging feedback and up-to-date company info and such)
| |
| | |
| I don't know exactly what they ([[NYSE]]) mean by [[vendor]] or why they want monthly reports of [[inventory]]. I don't see how it should intrest a [[stock exchange]] what is the inventory of some company... I mean that if the inventory goes down, then liquid assets usually go up and vice-versa, so what does that have to do with trading stocks??
| |
| | |
| From there on I followed some link and found out that there is an [[w:ISO]] standard for identifying subdivisions of countries (States, Provinces and such): [[ISO 3166-2]] Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions -- Part 2: Country subdivision code
| |
| | |
| The bad news is that a copy of the standard costs CHF 194,00, which is a lot of money and I personally am so broke at the moment and if I got some I would buy a bluetooth phone, so I could connect to the net, when I'm away from my ethernet. I guess we'll just have to use [[Wikipedia]] to get country divisions.
| |
| | |
| :do you plan geographical identification to be only per country ?
| |
| | |
| ::Noooo. We'll implement identification of multiple overlapping geographical areas. Mainly [[country]], [[province]] [[village]] (includes cities), [[ecoregion]] and the joins of the before mentioned (eg. Some countries form an [[free trade area]]). If I'm missing something essential, please add it.

| Yeeees. The new Safari update finally arrived. Tabbed browsing is very nice.<br>
| |
| Oh Noooo. I'm so convinced that my system is compromised, not the one running the wiki, but my iBook. I just have to hope that the firmware is still good, so reinstalling the OS will cure the problem:

| Today I'm mostly creating stubs for describing different [[features]] and their implementation in detail. Most [[feature]] pages are also used for laying out basic design principles.

They can be targeted at individual [[product]]s [[product group]]s, [[brand]]s, [[company|companies]], [[corporation]]s, [[supply chain]]s or [[area]]s. Areas can be [[province]]s or [[country|countries]]. It just seems that the [[country|nation state]] is a little unprecise for an [[campaign]], but I don't have a better nominator for campaigning. Boycotting [[capital]] would be a really nice [[features|feature]], but it's [[utopia]] at the moment. There are numerous reasons why tracking capital is so difficult that it's [[not feasible]].

| I've been thinking about why on earth doesn't [[w:HTML]] or [[w:XHTML]] contain tags or meta-tags for connecting a document to a point (or an area) on earth.
| |
| | |
| :[http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/ecoregion_DTD ecoregion DTD] is good place to start.
| |
| | |
| This would be supergroovy if search engines supported searching for words with results ordered by physical location (very heavy search indeed, I've studied a course on GIS, and even done some work in that area, and I can tell you that multiple 1-dimensional search keys in [[relational algebra]] (that's like what the RDBMS translates SQL into before it is executed) is a picnic compared to even simplified 2-dimensional indexes, let alone if we want accurate real world 3d indexing (Buildings etc. have multiple floors you know.))
| |
| | |
| Now I have just one thought. '''Forget the web, let's do it for Wikipedia and the rest of the Web can catch up someday, maybe.'''
| |
| | |
| Throw in a standardised way of marking times up and voila: We have spatio-temporal data, that can be grouped and searched in numerous ways, if someone just coded the search engine and if we had some spare processing power for this tedious task.
