Information Poo

• Inspiron 910 hopefully will come out on Friday. Inspiron means cheap in Dell marketing? I guess it's better than Dell E. There's something wrong with looking forward to a Dell. I mean there is no Dell Insider or Inspiron Rumors.


• SearchMonkey Tutorials. SearchMonkey uses a format similar to RDF called DataRSS. The FAQ describes the parts of the Semantic Web that work with the parts of SearchMonkey - no reasoning just the triples.


• Introduction to High-Level Programming With Scala. A compiled language that is finally catching up with Ruby's duck typing.


• Dr Horrible Ringtones.


• Freebase and Parallax talks about the excellent demo making the rounds. It's available as an open source project. Who knew George Bush has had more than one assassination attempt made on him? That's the power of the Semantic Web.


• The goodness of Google apps talks about another happy corporate customer (except for Google Code - integrating GitHub does sound good) and mentions Guido's code review tool part of rietveld a Google App Engine application.


• ccREL: The Creative Commons Rights Expression Language. Using RDFa so you don't repeat yourself.


• SCOPE, Automatic Hadoop Optimization and Cassandra (Facebook's BigTable) all via Greg. Cassandra is a Google Code project and includes some good documentation.


• OWL ED papers including an ontology versioning system and OWL constraints.
