Bloggers moving to communties sites.

If you want readers, it seems you can't stand alone. I've found moving to science2.0 a great way to get readers, and also a peer group to interact with, this no doubt will be true of any subject. It also means I need to redesign my aggretator. When following the output of a group of single subject sites, I need a system that categorizes contain for multiple sources into super and sub categories, and also some moderation system. So i'm going develop one in the coming year. I can give the idea away here, because a course so few read me, ha ha.

Wikipedia

Wikipedia want donations to found it. It the key non profit organision on the net. I'm a businessman, trying to get Eye Balls for of the net, and onto my on site, all my founding is family money, and from where a worked before. Money is something of secret, how much should i donate to Wikipedia, for being the key pages I use to name a subject, for all the knowledge i've learnt there. I use google adsense on my web pages. It would be interesting if I could set a donate to Wikipedia or other charity automatically a fraction of the income, I generate. Actually it would be interesting only to Wikipedia, because I'm late to the internet and poor. Yes I could of bought thousands of useful domain names at the beginning of the internet, and been useful at if i'm lucky one of them. Having Google do my mail, my blogs or my income isn't funny, but money is capacity to do work. Google will never be a total monopoly in other countries but in America might they might be 99%. Does ask jeeves have an advertising system, that would pay wikipedia. And a blog page system? Apache Roller is free. I'm moving to the first adsense copy that donates to Wikipedia a set fraction or (fractions) of the advert cash.

Adsense back at FD

I don't know if anyone saw this, but between August and December (2011), Google had taken there advert service away from Feed Distiller. This is because they didn't like one of the categories I was streaming.I got just three days warning, but missed it due to my inadtendence. Finally after deleting the category, a plea to Google got the adverts where back. This might be a threat to anyone
using Google Adsense.

At Majorana Informatics Ltd, I offer specialized categorization software development, and better than Bayez class filters development, so if you need such services for knowing what category a document falls under please content us at Majorana Informatics Ltd

Dum Skype Firefox plugin

Hey, this so clever, Firefox's Skype plugin, thinks that 01 01 1970 is a phone number and alters the display of HTML tables to look that a phone number. As a fix, i'll have to display, Jan, Feb etc, but really the plugin should be cleverer.

Touch Screen and Guestures for the web

Here's a technology that's already common on mobile phones and hasn't yet made it to the internet yet. Touch Screen, and Gestures, the technology has been demoed for ages, e.g. Finger Scrolling Pages. Multitouch demoed some 4 years ago. The pace of innovation on the internet seems slow by comparison now. Yes HP are already selling touch screen PCs. But a lot of this is propitiatory, they aren't yet, common standards for connecting a touchable screen, to a computer. Hint to the industry, send a x,y, pressure single down a USB cable for each place on the screen touched of released.

Windows and Linux are of course built for one mouse, with single and double click, its been like that for years. Since I've over forty and slower to learn, I'll probably to happier with the mouse plus keyboard for the rest of my obsolete little life, but that doesn't mean its a superior interface. The new generation are already happy with there touchable I phones, and would no doubt like a computer with the interface of an Ipad and the huge amount of software as the existing PC.

Why no common framework for touch screen for the PC yet. Is it all patent and litigation threats, or guest laziness?

The Web also needs an update to work this touch screens, especially with mult-touch and gestures. A touch could be mapped to a button click, but can java-script events match more than one figure on the screen a time. The interface is x and y coordinate for a single mouse event. Event libraries need be written for multi-touch and standardised first for the OS and second for the web browser. Even after that, is not obvious at what stage we decide that combined movements become a gesture. OS layers, application layer e.g. browser, and web layers, might in the worst case, all define and recognise two fingers spinning as different gestures, triggering three event at three different layers. So plenty of work for user interface designers for the next tens years or so.

The farm and data center

This is a beautiful story, on combining a farm with a data centre. The approach uses clean energy from converting agricultural waste to power the computer in the data centre.

Its also funny because the many of the websites run on these data centres are already powered by bullshit.

Tapestry and Aspect oriented Webpages

I spent two days this week, at allfiled.com, a website/company designed to help you, file all household documents, it an interesting company, for the boring tasks, that nobody whats to do, but are essential do everyone. Governments, Utility, Companies, etc, can really stick it to you, if you forget to pay, fortunately this is normally direct debit, maybe if you lazy you just throw all those bills away, or perphaps you where like my father, who had big filing cabinets, where they we all recorded.

Since I'm a programmer, I have to remark most on its software they where using for the webdesign,
most websites if they need interaction today are based on LAMP, free commonly used software for web to database work. Allfiled.com use Oracle, Java, lots of Jakarta, Javascript and a system called Tapestry you might not have heard of. And I think when you want solid website engineering that exactly the place to go.

Tapestry makes a huge difference to the programming of a website, in most websites, one page, has one programmer file on the server, and any ammount javascript code on the clients side, (that may or may not work, depending on which web browser a user has. Tapestry means that each components of a web page, maybe a border, or a form box you fill in, has its own fragment of code. This either a lots easier to change the look and fill of every single form on your website in one go, or it means for 'changing one line or text, you going to have to search for program fragments in a absolute enormous filesystem of scattered one liners. Its a completely different style of web programming, and takes a lot of getting used to.
