| Ok. This is a Blog, blog is just a web page where all the content is in reverse chronological order (kinda redundant: a blog in a wiki, but I'll see if this works). You may comment on posts if you like.

| I'm actually typing this in a military fort and I was a little surprised to find a connected machine at free disposal of the soldiers. I had to get up at 4 am after sleeping for 3 hours so I'm a little tired now and will get back to this on monday. [[Consumer]] [[Consortium]] == [[Consumerium]]. I like that 142.177.X.X :)

| I run into Brion on IRC the other day and explained our need to have [[m:Geospatial reference]] so he started the page on Meta and hopefully someone will come up with a syntax that we can agree on and maybe one day it'll be implemented, which would be great for Consumerium. I'm off to do a few days of military service now. Back on monday, have a nice weekend you all.

|
| 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.

| Ok. Recovered from the previous. I took some time off from work and I'm in [[w:Helsinki]] now to see some friends and relax. I will of course try to contribute as much as I can, but I'm currently under a lot of mental strain in my private life, so I'm not so efficient at the moment.

| Good [[w:Walpurgis Day|Walpurgis Day]] (Vappu in Finnish, the celebration of students and workers in Finland) everybody. I'm going to get just '''totally drunk''' in [[w:Raisio|Raisio]] today and I'll propably continue the same tomorrow since it's a national tradition in [[w:Finland|Finland]] and it's good fun as well :)

| 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)
| | == 2018 == |
|
| |
|
| 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??
| | *[[User:Jukeboksi/Blog/2018|Blog 2018]] |
|
| |
|
| 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
| | == 2017 == |
|
| |
|
| 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 ?
| | == 2016 == |
|
| |
|
| ::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>
| | == 2015 == |
| 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:

| Back on ADSL. Houston we have a problem: I have to admit that I would lie to keep a job if I really needed it and I imagine there are lots of other people that would do the same. I would even lie not to make my employer look bad and thus decrease the livelyhood of my fellow employees.

| Some fanatic [[w:Internet Troll]] from 142.177.X.X (which seems to be in Canada) is really wearing me out. This troll is very advanced: cross-defining terms mixed with useful input mixed with malformed grammar mixed with links to strange discussions and very talented in getting pseudo-offended when I reverse edits.

| Ok. Back online with my most trustworthy operator and I changed my pass also so there shouldn't be anymore severe security breaches like the f***ing vandalists who tinted the 0.1 logo centre yellow, which was really offensive and pissed off lots of ppl. If someone has GIMP and an idea for logo 0.3 it's most welcome. Must sleep now.

| Today I'm in [[w:Helsinki]] now and I can't get access to freenode network from the local irc client here :( Maybe in future we set up an IRC channel #consumerium on freenode, but it's not a priority at the moment.
| |
| | |
| All the [[features]] should have names and their own dedicated page. I'll get on that.
| |
| | |
| Maybe we should have some products to play around with to illustrate the features, so here is an [[tomato]]

| [http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/~sst/is/WebOntologyLanguage/hayes.htm Here] is an interesting article providing some serious critique of using structured document to represent human knowledge.

| Here is a link http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/03/19/standards.html to an interesting article. Dimitri Dimitriatis seems to have a clear perception of the need to identify the software components involved in web services. If the server and client components are GPL'd then there is no guarantee that the components function as specified in the "official" specification. Or is there? Wondering....

| 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. I'm starting with the simplest features and then working on to the more complex ones, so I can link the complex ones to the simpler ones which they build on.

| Today I'm thinking about [[campaign]]s, they can be calls for [[boycott]] or [[endorsment]]. 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'll get started on including markup for locations in wikipedia soon. It' just a really demanding task even just to write a good article and wikitech-l post about it so the idea woun't get torpedoed immediatelly.

| I've been thinking about why on earth doesn't [[w:HTML]] or [[w:XHML]] 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.
| |
| :[http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/spacetime_DTD spacetime DTD] is doing this
| |
| :[http://p2pmap.org p2pmap] also is thinking of adopting it

| :Thanks, I did. Mostly things already discussed but useful here for those who read this blog.
| |
| | |
| :Is there going to be a way to govern this thing other than talking to you on a blog? I like [http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/twelve_leverage_points 'leverage points' as used on meta.wikipedia.org to watch/steer wikipedia project] - very low-overhead, based on ecology model. Very applicable here as you try to change resourcing, production, distribution, consumption, and waste systems. Also see Jim Moore on 'assembly rules' for the 'second superpower'.

| ::Well it seems we need something like [[w:Wikipedia:Village pump]]. Must think of a name for it.
