        <link><![CDATA[http://www.scriptorium.com/palimpsest/2006/01/to-dita-or-not-to-dita.html]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[<p>DITA also recognized ... that a small topic-specific DTD is easier to use and to validate than a big generic document-oriented DTD like DocBook. But the problem ... is, how do you manage the relationship between the DTDs, and how do you add a new DTD without having to rewrite your whole tool chain?</p>
<p>... First, it uses a simple mapping mechanism to create a new DTD as a "specialization" of an existing DTD. Second, it uses a trick based on the way XSLT works to enable a transform written for the base DTD to also work for the specialized DTD, and to allow you to write a transform for the specific properties of the new DTD that inherits transforms written for the old DTD without change.</p>
<p>DITA thus limits you in two ways. First, the relationship between new DTDs and existing DTDs can only be expressed by a very simple mapping mechanism. ... Also, existing XSLT transforms cannot be incorporated into the DITA tool chain; they have to be specifically written for DITA.</p>

        <link><![CDATA[http://onefilecms.com/]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[<p>
OneFileCMS is just that. It's a flat, light, one file CMS (Content Management System) entirely contained in an easy-to-implement, highly customizable, database-less PHP script.
</p><p>
Coupling a utilitarian code editor with all the basic necessities of an FTP application, OneFileCMS can maintain a whole website completely in-browser without any external programs.
Screenshots
</p>
<pre>
    * Validating, semantic, and commented markup. Tested in FF, Safari, and IE7/IE8.
    * Small footprint (20.4 kb)
    * Possibly the easiest installation process ever
    * All the basic features of an FTP application like renaming, deleting, copying, and uploading
uploads/deletions, you're going to want to break out an actual FTP program.)
    * Gracefully degrading CSS and Javascript
    * 100% re-brandable with page title stored in variable and a modifiable filename
Requirements

    * UNIX/Linux host, Apache
    * PHP5 (PHP4 untested)
    * File permission privileges
</pre>

<p>
Quiz time: Which of the following provisions has been tucked into the most closely watched health-care bill on Capitol Hill thanks to Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine? Is it a) an annual checkup for every Medicare beneficiary, b) a special health-insurance marketplace in every state that would cater to the needs of small businesses or c) new tax credits to help modest-size firms buy coverage for their workers?

<blockquote>
To decode what the remote was sending, I used an oscilloscope and a small photodiode.  The photodiode generates a small amount of voltage when light hits it, and responds to changes in light level quickly enough that the oscilloscope can draw a really nice plot of the signal.  I have a <a href="http://www.parallax.com/tabid/136/List/1/ProductID/46/Default.aspx">Parallax USB oscilloscope</a>, which is perfect for showing the command pulses and is just fast enough to find the modulation frequency.  As an aside, I’m really happy with the Parallax oscilloscope for projects like this.  It is simple to use and I love being able to save images to share with people.<br>
Here’s what two of the commands from the dimmer remote look like.  The top signal is the “fade lights up” command, and the bottom one is “fade lights down”:<br>

        <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>
Networks of coupled dynamical systems have been used to model ...  and many other self-organizing systems. Ordinarily, the connection topology is assumed to be either completely regular or completely random. But many biological, technological and social networks lie somewhere between these two extremes. Here we explore simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks 'rewired' to introduce increasing amounts of disorder. We find that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs. We call them 'small-world' networks, by analogy with the small-world phenomenon (popularly 6 degrees of separation. The neural network of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, the power grid of the western United States, and the collaboration graph of film actors are shown to be small-world networks.

	<p>Hi Jon-</p>
<p>In your talk with Philip Rosedale I was surprised that you never referred to your own Second Life experience ( <a href="http://jonudell.net/udell/2006-10-16-in-search-of-non-gratuitous-3d.html" rel="nofollow">http://jonudell.net/udell/2006-10-16-in-search-of-non-gratuitous-3d.html</a> ) if only to reconcile the big benefits he attributed to Second Life meetings to your own experience.</p>
<p>Have you had sebsequent, more fruitful SL experiences?</p>
<p>-Michael</p>

        <link><![CDATA[http://bitlash.net/]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>
<h2>Introducing Bitlash</h2>
<p>Bitlash is an open source interpreted language shell for the <a href="http://arduino.cc">Arduino</a> serial port.  It runs on the Arduino and interprets commands that you type in a terminal window or send programmatically:<br>
</p><div class="code">
bitlash v0.95a here! ...
&gt; print "hello, world", analogRead(3)
hello, world 552
</div>
<p>Bitlash is a development and prototyping tool for those situations where you need to bang some bits on the Arduino but writing a sketch in C is premature.  The Bitlash command language is very similar to Arduino C and includes a large repertiore of the familiar Arduino C functions so you can hack your hardware from the serial command line or even over the internet via telnet.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>
concur with Lu’s findings. Since projecting our electricity usage in real time on the web, in an easily readable, annotated visualization format, it’s become very clear to us both when the peaks in our usage occur, and what is causing them, without sweating the small stuff. The simple visualization of high-energy devices - dryers, dishwashers - seems, from a simple behavioral modification standpoint, to get the job done. Appliance-based monitoring systems, furthermore, inject a complexity that means they’ll take awhile to achieve ubiquity.  Although we yearn for a future in which all appliances are “smart,” the number of smart plugs, smart sockets, and upgraded appliances that would need to be integrated into our households to make an appliance-based system effective, as well as the data gaps that would accompany a necessarily piecemeal application, make the idea of a whole-house, appliance-based monitoring system seem, to us, a misplaced focus right now.

        <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>
Again I love your writting and how you find interesting "things" to take a look at. My fathers family worked for Crane and Co. for generations. My grandmother, great grandparents and great great grandparents as well as many assorted aunts and uncles are burried in Dalton in a family plot awarded to the family years and years ago as a "perk" of working for the mills. I have spent endless afternoons sifting through the old hand written birth and death records in Dalton doing family research and indeed I have been to the museum. A small but interesting place.... the size of the museum does not do the mills justice... there is so much the mills and the crane's have done for that small community than can be depicted in that tiny building.

        <title><![CDATA[Anne's House of Dreams, 5th in the series | http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rgs/annhd-table.html]]></title>
        <link><![CDATA[http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rgs/annhd-table.html]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>
The book starts with Anne's wedding to Gilbert, which is very small and takes place in the Green Gables orchard. After Anne and Gilbert's wedding, they move to a house that Anne has long anticipated as her "house of dreams", in Four Winds Point, an area near the village of the Glen St. Mary. There, Anne and Gilbert meet many interesting people, such as the eccentric Captain Jim and Miss Cornelia Bryant, who deems the Blythes as part of "the race that knows Joseph." Anne also meets Leslie Moore, who lost her beloved brother and her father, and then was forced by her mother to marry the mean-spirited and unscrupulous Dick Moore. She felt free for a year or so after her husband disappeared on a sea voyage, but then he turned up, amnesiac, brain-damaged and generally helpless. She becomes friends with Anne, but is sometimes bitter towards her because she is so happy and free.
