rdhyee NewsRandom and not so random thoughts from Raymond Yee, mostly relevant to the IUfiguring out the future of geotagging now that geobloggers.com is officially gone- March 30, 2006 It's official: Geobloggers changes direction and no longer functions as a mapping service of geotagged flickr photos. It was great service while it lasted. I certainly miss it. The old geobloggers.com aggregated information about geotagged photos and made that information available in its interface (auto-refreshing google maps) and through an API. It made effective use of google maps. In response to the announcement, I posted a question: Im wondering whether you would be willing to donate...http://raymondyee.net/wiki/DailyNotes_2f2006_2f03_2f30#head-1ebd2a560279675c93d70e711685f0... Social Bookmarking: Some of My Own Technical Next Steps- March 30, 2006 For the first followup to Social Bookmarking: A First Take, I planned to describe how to make social bookmarking more of a seamless experience for myself. I wrote: I've become an avid user of del.icio.us and potentially many other systems. I'd to be able to integrate the reference storage, discovery, sharing with my writing and teaching processes. I'll write more tomorrow about how I in particular would like social bookmarking to fit in a scheme of seamless use and reuse of digital content....http://raymondyee.net/wiki/DailyNotes_2f2006_2f03_2f30_2fSocialBookmarkingNotes my very own copy of the Python cookbook- March 30, 2006 Python cookbook Originally uploaded by Raymond Yee. Off and on for the past couple of weeks, I have been walking around with my copy of Python Cookbook. Reading it has helped me to understand the newer aspects of Python, including Python generators. Even though I am able to read the book online and download the code for free, I still like to have the paper version in my hands. I suppose it's a bit like flipping through my favorite Chinese cookbooks and daydreaming about what to coook..http://iu.berkeley.edu/rdhyee/2006/03/30#a2005 Social Bookmarking: A First Take- March 27, 2006 Let me quote what I wrote in my statement of research and development interests (Seamless Use and Reuse of Digital Content and Services By Scholars): The long-term goal of the Scholars Box is to facilitate the authoring of compound, multimedia scholarly documents. In the short term, we focus first on the creation of single-content type digital collections of bibliographic citations and images. We are attempting to maximize reusability of the collections so that the collections can move fluidly.http://raymondyee.net/wiki/DailyNotes_2f2006_2f03_2f27_2fSocialBookmarking Social Bookmarking and putting things back together- March 21, 2006 I wrote detailed notes for a lecture on social bookmarking for my class. In the process, I've gotten back into using del.icio.us. Adactio Elsewhere: Small pieces of me, loosely joined: I seem to have left pieces of myself scattered around the internet. This is my attempt to pull some of those pieces together.http://raymondyee.net/wiki/DailyNotes_2f2006_2f03_2f20#head-00040bab8a787438c2c0cf5248ac02... the use of http response codes in unAPI- March 14, 2006 Last week, I posted my concerns about the heavy use of http response codes in unAPI to the gcs-pcs-list. I'm grateful that Leigh Dodds responded thoughtfully, pointing to his article Connecting Social Content Services using FOAF, RDF and REST. I rather enjoyed his article, which I have since assigned to my class. I responded to Leigh this morning.http://raymondyee.net/wiki/DailyNotes_2f2006_2f03_2f14#head-00040bab8a787438c2c0cf5248ac02... |
