Stefano’s Linotype » Data Smoke and Mirrors

by karlcow

This places everybody trying to make the web of data happening in danger of oper-promising and under-delivering, which is not a recipe for success: it’s a recipe for abuse, mistrust and anger… which ultimately leads to disaster and failure.

L'utilité pratique d'un système est souvent inversement proportionnelle à la popularité de la technique utilisée pour le système. Le plus souvent les personnes oublient de répondre à la question : « Quels sont les enjeux que vous tentez de résoudre ? »

Urban Screens | Serial Consign

by karlcow

What I've outlined thus far leads in to some of the questions that I'm considering with my research:

DIYcity

by Spone & 1 other
Our cities today are relics from a time before the Internet. Services and infrastructure, created and operated by the government, are centrally managed, non-participatory and closed. And while this was once the best (and only) way for cities to operate, today it leads to a system that is inefficient, increasingly expensive to maintain, and slow to change.

John Mann Photography

by karlcow

Folded in Place furthers the abstraction once offered by landscape photography by removing the place itself and replacing it with a mapped construction. This method leads the viewer to re-imagine the spectacle of the foreign lands and explore the abstraction of place offered by photography. The combination of still-life constructions and the maps’ reference to large and distant lands examines the paradox of known and unknown geographies offered by the photographic image. In this manner, Folded in Place turns the abstract representation of the map back into a physical landscape using photography to look at the map as a geography of its own.

Theocacao: Measuring the Design Process

by karlcow

Even though individuals in Doug's position are brought in as experts in their field, eager to share their insights, they are often hired under the incorrect assumption that a designer has amassed information in his or her career, not experiences. That assumption leads to a second flawed assumption: that all decisions will be based on hard facts.

Turn Twitter Into Your Personal Assistant

by karlcow

The combination of social networking with public messaging, link posting, and subscriptions leads to impressive synergy effects, but there is also the drawback of information overload, information loss, distraction, and content redundancy.

Memoizing recursive functions via the fixed-point Y combinator: Applying functional programming techniques to Javascript

by greut

Is it possible to express a "recursive" function like factorial without using recursion or iteration? The answer--often surprising--is yes. The technique involved--expressing recursive functions as fixed-points--leads to a more fundamental understanding of recursion.

Wow, there's a lovely world that needs to be explored

On-line newspapers, information agency, blogs and personal websites, thematic media are monitored to highlight the pattern of perceptions on the urban space. This monitoring activity leads to the creation of an atlas that will produce - in real-time - different maps based on news sources, themes, and time. The atlas allows users to understand the urban space as a function of media attention and biases and social and cultural diversity of the city itself.

Install SugarCRM community edition in Ubuntu 8.10 Server -- Ubuntu Geek

by camel (via)
SugarCRM is a complete CRM system for businesses of all sizes. Core CRM functionality includes sales force automation, marketing campaigns, support cases, project management, calendaring, and more. It supports MySQL and MS SQL Server. Sugar consists of modules, each of which represents a specific functional aspect of CRM such as Accounts,Activities, Leads, and Opportunities. For example, the Accounts module enables you to create and manage customer accounts, and the Activities module enables you to create and manage activities related to accounts, opportunities, etc. These modules are designed to help you manage customer accounts through each step of their lifecycle, starting with generating and qualifying leads to customer support and resolving reported bugs. Because many of these steps are interrelated, each module displays related information. For example, when you view the details of a particular account, the system also displays the related contacts, activities,opportunities, and bugs. You can not only view and edit this information but also create new information. As an administrator, you have the power to implement access control for these modules. You can customize the look and feel of Sugar across your organization. You can even create new modules if needed. You can also create multiple forums as platforms of discussion on various topics amongst your users and customers.

Functioning Form - Previous and Next Actions in Web Forms

by greut

A recent lengthy discussion in the Interaction Design Association focused on the placement of actions in Web forms that span several Web pages. The quintessential question underlying this debate is: can an action which leads people to the previous step of a process be placed to the right of an action that leads users to the next step of a process?

yet another great article.

IPR Draft Guidelines - Open Web Foundation Discussion | Google Groups

by benoit & 1 other

I think the bylaws and clos= ed membership will keep the foundation consistent. It works well for the AS= F which is the model we are building on. As for the spec, I think it is rea= lly up to the personalities involved and the communities will need to self = regulate. The OAuth leads had an idea and we made sure the community didn't= change.

Je trouvais cette idee d'Open Web Foundation mediocre, maintenant ca pourrait friser le ridicule... :)

I think the bylaws and closed membership will keep the foundation consistent. It works well for the ASF which is the model we are building on. As for the spec, I think it is really up to the personalities involved and the communities will need to self regulate. The OAuth leads had an idea and we made sure the community didn't change.

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz : Journal : Mark Boulton

by sbrothier
A few days ago, Keeran sent me a link to this video by Job & Roel Wouters. It’s such a beautifully simple piece. Watching Job draw the letterforms is mesmeric enough, but when his son (?) joins in, I found myself laughing as he tries to imitate his fathers work. This leads to some funny-looking characters (c and d are particular favourites of mine).

Microsoft Announces New Reporting Standard for Digital Campaign Performance: Engagement Mapping: New approach allows advertisers to map and assign value to various touch points, gaining a more complete picture of a campaign.

by karlcow & 1 other

REDMOND, Wash. — Feb. 25, 2008 — Microsoft Corp. today announced Engagement Mapping, a new approach to managing and measuring the effectiveness of online campaigns that goes beyond the current “last ad clicked” standard. For the last decade, virtually all ad campaign reporting methodologies associate sales, leads and Web traffic simply to the last click or ad exposure. Engagement Mapping takes into account for the first time all the various online touchpoints and interactions a consumer experiences before an eventual sale.
