    Now I'm sober for a change and ready to start really doing something. 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.

    Ok. I'm drunk again. Sorry about that.
    [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. I've been very tempted to mix [[XML]] with some heavy [[Wiki]] for [[Consumerium]] before, but this makes it even more attractive.

    I'm just going to get drunk today. Soon posting an interesting article that I catched on one of my RSS feeds. I don't know what it's, like really about, but it seems to make sense for our cause. The mail server that I'm using seems to be broken. Strange (perhaps someone bombed it by accident).

    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.


    7.4.2003 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.


    2.4.2003 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

    21.3.2003 Ok. I'm going to Helsinki for the weekend, so please don't vandalise Consumerium while I'm gone. I'm taking a database dump with me, so I'll upload my edits on Sunday if I'm not too lazy/drunk on the weekend to do some work.

    21.3.2003 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.


    20.3.2003 Today I'm thinking about campaigns, they can be calls for boycott or endorsment. They can be targeted at individual products product groups, brands, companies, corporations, supply chains or areas. Areas can be provinces or countries. It just seems that the 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 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.

    Really tired today, so not doing much

    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. 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.
