MLX Package Receives Feedback from Indonesia

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 20th, 2004 8:59 am

How refreshing it is to catch some comment feedback that is not spam. Package #1463 Areal Weighting with Thiessen Polygons was created by Water Resources technology faculty member Lisa Young:
a brief tutorial that demonstrates the procedures for determining areal weighting from point precipitation gages using the Thiessen Polygon Method.
While I have no clue what this [...]

Yawncasting

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 19th, 2004 10:42 pm

I feel pretty much late to the dance with podcasting. It is a technology phenomnma that seems like it happened more or less while I was out of the country 3 weeks in November. My colleagues D’Arcy and Brian are all over it, and I have give high credence to things my trusted colleagues get [...]

It’s Brown But Looks Awfully Familiar

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 19th, 2004 10:10 am

Imitation and flattery aside, just curious if anyone thinks RSS-to-Javascript bears any resemblance at all to our Feed2JS?
I do not really care all that much since Feed2JS code is open source but some credit would be nice, egos can always use some stroking now and then…
Ours was pretty much inspired by David Carter-Tod’s Wytheville [...]

Almost Poetry: “The Network is the Blog”

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 18th, 2004 9:10 am

On this post, I have almost little to say as Jon Udell’s “The Network is the Blog” is so on spot and astute, and, well poetic. He hits some things which sound obvious in reading but easily to forget- the electricity of the blog-o-verse has everything to do with the human network it travels [...]

Where the Wiki Things Are

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 17th, 2004 3:45 pm

We’ve just put online our Fall 2004 issue of our office’s publication, the mcli Forum, and am finally glad I can share with you the featured technology interview I did with Brian Lamb, perhaps not so cleverly titled as “Where the Wiki Things Are”.
How do you help people make the “Aha” step from that first [...]

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 17th, 2004 12:01 pm

Therefore we share with your “Dog News: weird, inspiring dog tales”. The Dog New folks have gone ahead and applied Creative Commons licensing to their content, so they [...]

Reviving the Bag of URLs

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 17th, 2004 11:14 am

I’ve been collecting worthy and interesting web sites for almost as long as I can remember, heaping them up in piles on the floor. Actually, we have a site called the Bag of URLs where I post and share them– this started back in 1996 primarily as a selfish tool for my own use [...]

Homer’s Browser

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 17th, 2004 6:34 am

There’s a heated web browser debate going on over at “Redemption in a Blog” as techies try to sort our what web browser Homer Simpson uses, see “Homer Simpson Uses Tabbed Browsing”. Top theories bounce between FireFox and Safari, with no clear winner. I would bet Homer wants his pop-up ads not to be blocked [...]

Sigh, No News From Phentermine Spammer

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 16th, 2004 2:12 pm

Well it has been 3 days since I yelled out “Hey Phentermine Pusher: You Left Your Roach Prints in Our Spam Honey Pot” seeking this person to reach out by email, say hello, and claim their prowess. I even offered 100 clams to them just for taking credit.
No response. I would think someone capable [...]

A Cup of Connotea: A New del.icio.us Flavor of Social Bookmarking (and now a 4 in 1 bookmark tool)

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 16th, 2004 10:30 am

Every day’s glance at the not so old RSS reader brings new gems. Today the far seeing Stephen Downes shared a link to Connotea, very much a nice knock off of del.icio.us for bookmarking sites as well as papers.
Connotea is a place to keep links to the articles you read and the [...]
