data: URI Generator - Convert Online Tool for Icon, image to import it in greasemonkey Script - dopiaza.org

by decembre
data: URI Generator The data: URI scheme allows you to build URLs that embed small data objects. data: URIs are supported by most modern browsers except for Internet Explorer. The lack of IE support is holding back widespread adoption of data: URIs, but they are still very useful in a couple of specific areas such as embedding graphics and other data items in Greasemonkey scripts. You can read more about data: URIs and see some examples of their use, or use the generator below to create your own. data: URIs are defined in RFC 2397.

by decembre & 2 others
Sur les 4.8 millions d’inscrits au site de partage de photos (groupes, commentaires, favoris, contacts et bien sûr photos) : - 20% des utilisateurs possèdent 82% des photos du site. - 3,7% d’utilisateurs ayant un compte « pro » (payant) ont mis en ligne 59,5% des images. - 39% sont totalement inactifs. - 23% utilisent les outils sociaux mais n’ont jamais mis en ligne une photo publique. - 19% font des uploads publics, mais ne communiquent pas ( « Kodak Culture », clichés de vacances ou de famille). - 19% ont des photos publiques ET communiquent plus ou moins intensément. En réalité, aucun usage de Flickr n’est majoritaire. - Règle numéro 1 : « Commenter, commenter, et encore commenter » - Règle numéro 2 : choisir des favoris. Règle numéro 3 : participer à des groupes. Conclusions : Flickr tourne grâce à des petites minorités d’utilisateurs aux usages variés.

Yahoo WOEID, Flickr shapefiles - GeoNames | Google Groups

by karlcow

Yahoo! has released their WOEID names/relationship database as CC-

BY-3.0:

http://www.ygeoblog.com/2009/05/announcing-geoplanet-data/

The GeoPlanet Data does not contain any coordinate information, though

Flickr has also released a set of shapefiles as CC0, derived from WOEID

lat/lon geotagged photos:

This seems of interest to GeoNames. It could be cool to have a mapping

of GNIS identifiers to WOEIDs. Would that be within the mission of

GeoNames?

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

by brianwaustin (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

Gauges are easy, but RRD is clever enough to know how counters change over time. It then lets you graph these data points in interesting ways.

viewing the regular 24h curve, I would do a gaussian reduction to show the details.
