cogdog on I have grand SPLOT plans for the holidays. Huh? I hope to spend some time cleaning up a number of relatively minor issues with existing SPLOTs, maybe add a new one or two (I did say grand), update the Instant SPLOT recipes (and test them out more to troubleshoot some reported issues). It’s not too […]
cogdog on Is it just me or are people in the US (and Britain, and France, and… well everywhere) just more on edge lately? Sleeping less / worrying more? I know it’s just not me. Of all the things the new administration in the US is doing (and the list grows with every whacko tweet), the idea […]
cogdog on Of all the SPLOTs I worked in with Brian Lamb the TRU Writer one (which I start calling the SPLOT Writer) is easily a favorite. It was not the first one, but the first one that had quick uses out of the gate as a way to create a site where people could create a […]
cogdog on From the start of SPLOTs we recognized an inherent problem with not asking for people who use them to create accounts / share info– there would be no way for them to modify what they wrote or shared once it was put in. The same thing happened with the UDG Agora version of the DS106 […]

cogdog on The SPLOT Tool I am most proud of is the TRU Writer- there is more to write later about how it represents the SPLOT idea. We made it first as an experiment in creating a rich publishing platform that people […]
cogdog on It’s exciting to see some applications of the SPLOT TRU Writer tool. TRU English prof Ken Simpson has two sections of his courses using instances made for each class: We are set to let another group of computer science students […]
cogdog on Do you remember in the Old Testament all that begat action? And Arphaxad begat Shelah; which himself engendered Eber. (And Arphaxad begat Shelah; and Shelah begat Eber.) Really, you remember? You were there? In terms of ideas or bits of […]
cogdog on In a bit of a self test, I am using the TRU Writer SPLOT tool to build a collection of papers I have published: This is a little different from […]
cogdog on In some reference of software design, there’s a process where you figure out all the features you might need, plant it all out neatly, build it, and then go into some cycle of testing and debugging. Then you roll it out, tweet it, and … well I don’t really know how it works. In my […]
