    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, but please be sensible and do it on the talk page

    I must take some time to think about The Consumerium Concept as a whole...hmm....like...hwo do i expalin this when i'm not sure what are the questions i should be asking.... Simplicity and Elaborate being to poles, gotta figure out the trajectory... or something.

    This is a very delicate waypoint in the development process, so here is a link and here is an another. If you gotta troll, please be gentle this time. Mmkay??

    There are plenty of outdated pages, lots of unresolved issues and propably even more questions that have not even been voiced publicly that have to be tackled before we can even dream of moving on to an implementation stage, but we are going to get there one day. Please help if you can.


    28.9.2003

    Now that most of the theoretical building blocks seem to be somewhere around here it's time to start figuring out how to make it work in practice, which raises a horde of open questions. I will try my best to deal with the numerous rising issues, but not today. The rigidness offered by XML solutions combined with the flexibility of Wikicode might be a good solution for storing and serving content. Must think about this some more before trying to write out an implementation plan.

    Look into tikiwiki and MoinMoinWiki (a Python thing). Both are far more flexible than this wikipedia3 stuff, and more scalable. I think the general move is to tikiwiki in the larger world. So we should move to it, too.
    I looked into TikiWiki 1.4 back in the day when I was trying to find a CMS to do this R&D stuff and at least then it was slow and bloated with features we don't need. And besides there is a strong need (from the Consumerium point of view) to interact with Wikipedia and other sites running MediaWiki so we shouldn't move to TikiWiki for the time being.

    27.9.2003

    Since none of the trolls have objected to the framework of The Consumerium Exchange I wrote down earlier on I guess it is time to move on to the details, which have to be carefully crafted to keep the voting process simple yet resistant to tampering.

    It's not a bad starting point, as it stands. Might as well work out more details.

    There are numerous other issues that have to be re-evaluated due to the change of the design paradigm from XML to Wiki for the actual content. Propably the most prominent problems being the multi-language/Internationalization issue.

    And one more thing: I need a job cause like being unemployed (read: without "permanent" source of buying power) kinda hampers my motivation to do this stuff. So if you know someone who needs an employee please tell them that I'm available.


    11.9.2003

    The quasi-constant flamerybaitteringishness is fatiguing me, so i'm off for a while. Seeya.


    10.9.2003

    I think I should sleep or something.


    3.9.2003

    All email is rerouted and working.


    2.9.2003

    Last night I slept and with surprising peacefullness I slept. And sleeping is nice. Perhaps I should eat too?


    1.9.2003

    Don't email me for a while. My pass is spoofed or the stupid operator disabled my account for some reason. Juxo 17:33 Sep 1, 2003 (EEST)

    Rerouted, though I don't know if the account it's going to now is active yet. Juxo 17:38 Sep 1, 2003 (EEST)

    I'm _so_ gone celebrating! It's about time to get really really focused and rewrite half of the contents of the wiki. Thanks to Shamath. You the ****ing geniuses.


    30.8.2003

    Sorry for the harsh language, bad metaphors and general disorientation of my recent edits, I'll fix them sometime.


    28.8.2003

    Giguu. My GPRS is working, not perfectly, but it'll have to do and I got me some XDSL too. Now all I have to do is to find a ethernet cable that isn't broken. And I need a job so please give me one if you can.


    27.8.2003

    I'm _so_ going to have the mother of all nervous breakdown if i don't get 24hrs internet in the next couple of days. I'm on gsm-data @ 9600 bps for "mere" 17 cents a minute right now.


    26.8.2003

    I'm working on some Improvements to the Wikipedia software because I want to give something back to the 'pedia community. Maybe if I come up with enough braincandy for the developers they might implement m:Placetime markup, which would be just the thing we need for Consumerium. It been clear for a while that the part XML is playing in consumerium design will propably be replaced by wiki markup where ever applicable. It's sad that the Sourceforge ConsuML activity percentile is at 0%, but there is a lot of hassle in my life at the moment and all the trolls are still at the beach... or something. I'll try to scratch up some pseudocode for m:HACSAW when I find the time.


    25.8.2003

    I'm officially moving to w:Helsinki this week and I hope to get some money so i can get on XDSL (gets connected the same day) before I can get my ADSL hooked up again. (month or so) I've been busy bothering the Wikipedia developers about HACSAW, but they seem to be persistent that I should learn to program for myself (again, *sigh*) and stop bothering them with my infantile "I want this done, but I'm not going to do it myself"-attitude. hummm....

    Anyways... I have to rewrite User:Juxo/Wikipedia software ideas to be more clear and I guess i could pseudocode some of the simpler stuff recorded there. Also must think about how m:HACSAW should be done right and pseudocode it, since it isn't picking up the wind I thought it would.

    Oh. And I'm going to install the new codebase here on Consumerium, the auto-TOC is just too nice to not have here... Unfortunatelly I'll have to do it all over again when the link anchor feature that Magnus has been working on gets to the stable tree. Having no command line php i guess i have to do it all manually.

    Now I'm off to see my cousin, who'se flying in from London. Haven't seen her for ages.

    I'll get on track once I get this moving hassle out of the way. <- Yeay, I know I say that a lot.

    Basically all my machines and connections broke so I decided to go sailing, which was nice and relaxing. I'll get my technology sorted soon and get active again in advancing our goals. I've had some pretty good ideas conserning convergence with Wikipedia and Wiktionary lately, but unfortunatelly all I have is this archaic technology that makes it unnecessarily hard to get any ideas and directions recorded before they vanish from my mind due to not having access to the wiki immediatelly and the number of other issues occupying my mind. I need a job and a reliable connection both fixed and wireless to give a full contribution ...or something. Bear with me, please.


    14.8.2003

    Stupid machines stop annoying me and start working properly!


    13.8.2003

    I keep on forgetting what I'm supposed to be doing :(


    12.8.2003

    Being homeless for a while I have no decent connection to the net so you'll have to excuse me for my inactivity


    6.8.2003

    Well I went sailing for a few days. Unfortunatelly my phone broke during an upgrade and my laptop's battery is also totally cooked, so I could not write up the ideas that came to me inspired by the lovely refreshing sea air and relaxment. Today there was some quite rough weather and I'm really tired so I'll go to sleep now, but I'll be up and running soon.
