by karlcow

Images of the fallen building were quickly posted to photo-sharing sites Twitpic (Twitpic) (here and here) and Yfrog (here and here). But what makes this story more intriguing is that the imagery on Google Maps Street View clearly shows a large crack running up the front of the building (below)

Google Wave Developer Blog: Introducing the Google Wave APIs: what can you build?

by night.kame & 2 others

Gadgets, which you may know from OpenSocial, are client-side programs that make it easy to write full applications inside of Google Wave. The neat part is that we've introduced an extension to the OpenSocial gadgets API that enables you to take advantage of the collaborative nature of Wave when building a gadget.

Grace à Wave, Google va enfin pouvoir capturer toutes les données privées qui lui échappaient car il ne les hébergeait pas. Bientôt Google Universal Proxy va vous promettre de remplacer Tor et Freenet pour votre navigation sécurisée.

jd/adobe: Building upon untested assumptions

by tehu

John Dowdell en raccourci : Flash a placé la barre tellement haut que forcément ça fait des jaloux. Et ce Ian Hickson, ça serait-y pas un peu l'Antéchrist ?

Plus intéressante est la réaction d'Isofarro (#3), qui ressitue le contexte et l'origine du what-wg.

BLDGBLOG: Earthquakes on Street View

by karlcow

Imagine, though, owning the building centered directly over the earthquake that destroys your whole city... And imagine the weird derived value such a property might hold in the future for disaster enthusiasts.

You go to purchase a small house at 3706 W. 106th Street in Los Angeles – only to find that you've been outbid, by several orders of magnitude, approaching $50 million, by an earthquake enthusiast in Japan. He or she has gone around the world purchasing epicenters, strange plots of land in the middle of nowhere that have no apparent use or distinction other than that they figure into the unfolding seismic history of our planet's surface.

It's an otherwise unknown subculture that has remained camouflaged within the international property market.

The Prepaid Economy Blog: Some observed behaviour patterns in rural BoP households

by karlcow

people rarely held on to money in the form of cash for any length of time, for the most part due to lack of access to banks and/or the high cost of maintaining an account proportionate to their incomes. Cash was rapidly converted to goods based on priorities and these 'goods' acted as insurance (silver), savings (buying building materials on a piecemeal basis as cashflow allowed until the house could be built), a cushion aka insurance (selling a pig for an emergency or eaten for food) and finally investment (milk bearing cow, young piglets to rear to maturity, etc).

Are you building an everyday app? (the LinkedIn problem) - Bokardo

by greut

In general, most people think they’re building an everyday app, but they’re not. When the actual use patterns are discovered, most apps will be used every few days or less. Designers have to ask themselves a very hard question: “How often are people really going to use our web application?”.

OpenGeo : The OpenGeo Architecture

Networking on the Network

by karlcow

So long as you have your professional hat on, every message you exchange on the network should be part of the process of finding, building, and maintaining professional relationships. I cannot emphasize this strongly enough, because electronic mail seems to provide endless temptations to the contrary.

Using the Web as our Content Management System on the BBC Music Beta - WWW2009 EPrints

by karlcow

In this paper, we describe the BBC Music Beta, providing a comprehensive guide to music content across the BBC. We publish a persistent web identifier for each resource in our music domain, which serves as an aggregation point for all information about it. We describe a promising approach in building web sites, by re-using structured data available elsewhere on the Web --- the Web becomes our Content Management System. We therefore ensure that the BBC Music Beta is a truly Semantic Web site, re-using data from a variety of places and publishing its data in a variety of formats.

Dare Obasanjo aka Carnage4Life - ASP.NET Caching vs. memcached: Seeking Efficient Data Partitioning, Lookup, and Retrieval

by ERSWeb (via)
I recently discovered memcached which is a distributed, object caching system originally developed by Brad Fitzpatrick of LiveJournal fame. You can think of memcached as a giant hash table that can run on multiple servers which automatically handles maintaining the balance of objects hashed to each server and transparently fetches/removes objects from over the network if they aren't on the same machine that is accessing an object in the hash table. Although this sounds fairly simple, there is a lot of grunt work in building a distributed object cache which handles data partitioning across multiple servers and hides the distributed nature of the application from the developer. memcached is a well integrated into the typical LAMP stack and is used by a surprising number of high traffic websites including Slashdot, Facebook, Digg, Flickr and Wikipedia. Below is what C# code that utilizes memcached would look like sans exception handling code
