PUBLIC MARKS with search dates

And he comes up with an interesting solution: expiration dates in electronic files. This would stop the files from existing forever and flooding us and the next generations with gigantic piles of mostly useless or even potentially harmful details.

15 Questionnaire

It would be very interesting if you could share a mockup, template of your questionnaire. Or if specific to each projects you are creating, at least, the type of questions in the questionnaire.

On the side of the No No for projects, setting a deadline for delivery of the projects or even a step without having all the materials which guarantee the delivery date.

We have to be very careful when committing to dates, to also set the right expectations of the client. Too often, in a project, it is possible to say, let’s release this section at this date YYYY-MM-DD, the materials will be given to you in the next two weeks. Red flag. It is often better to say, once given this list of items (deliveryDate), we will be releasing this section at “deliveryDate 10 business days”.

In middle size agencies, there is also an issue of resources management. There is more than one project in parallel. Explaining to the client that if he/she misses a particular window, the project will be delayed.

Keep written records of every discussions you had, put down the RESOLUTION and the ACTION. After each meeting, send your meeting minutes to the project participants and the client. It is often better to have a scribe. If you get phone calls from the clients (which is fine), send a summary of the discussion just after.

If you are using a project management system (be mail, sharepoint, basecamp, etc. anything), if the client says “It is not the way I work”, rise a red flag again.

Be careful also of the “just this time” or “just for once” on a exceptional work issue, because if you authorize it once, the client will keep the foot in the door, to reuse it again.

In-search of the source of the universe, singularity, art and science. A short docu/drama inspired by Space Collective and other forward thinking terrestrials. Set in the near future and narrated through a series of interviews from the past and letters from the future in a kind of audiovisual diary essay style. Shot in 5 countries over 2 years. This film uses five digit dates, eg (0)2009 - the extra zero is to solve the deca-millennium bug which will come into effect in about 8,000 years. Directed & Produced by Jason Gleeson

One of the particular points of contention at the meeting was whether URIs for non-information resources (ie for real-world and conceptual things) should contain dates or version numbers, or not.

MontyLingua is a free*, commonsense-enriched, end-to-end natural language understander for English. Feed raw English text into MontyLingua, and the output will be a semantic interpretation of that text. Perfect for information retrieval and extraction, request processing, and question answering. From English sentences, it extracts subject/verb/object tuples, extracts adjectives, noun phrases and verb phrases, and extracts people's names, places, events, dates and times, and other semantic information.

I’m really interested in other approaches that people have used to address the requirement of associating metadata with triples, particularly using RDFa. I’m also interested to know if anyone has existing vocabularies for periods of time with known start/end dates and included dates.

>Click Opera stores information that I no longer have in my brain; when I connect to this information, I have a way to remember.

This, you can't know and that is the irony. There are things which are still in our brain but we don't remember how to access them. Then suddenly one day, they come back to the surface.

What is happening with the external storage is not the storage by itself, but the search functionality on this external storage. I can have thousand of photos, but if there are not slightly organized (no dates into it for example), there are just a useless pile of bits. The fact that they contained structured information help when we need to access them with tools.

A simple creation date of the file can achieve that. We relate the date to memories of places. Either in your brain or somewhere on the external storage if you write the list of things you have done.
