This story is the third in a series of articles sharing a design framework for dashboards and portals.

2007-08-27 00:08 The Internet Is still Dead and Boring
I obviously hit a nerve with my last post. My index for quality of post has evolved to the number of "you suck", "broadcast.com sucks", "You got lucky", etc posts that are submitted but never confirmed. For this post it was off the charts. Good. When people resort to personal comments. Its usually a good sign. Among those I respect, there were a lot of great responses. Let me first say, my position on this has nothing to do with HDNet. I've not abandoned the net. In fact i have more than 100 RSS …

My sister recently complained it was annoying keeping up-to-date with my flickr photos, exclaiming œCan t I get an SMS notification or something! . Like an excited boy with a vision for a new lego masterpiece to build I ran home and tried to mashup as many possibly services to get the result I wanted: creating a Yahoo Pipe that called the Flickr API to get the list of set and producing an RSS feed, which in turn feeds a most probably existing RSS to Twitter service and then using Twitter to fir …

2007-08-14 10:29 Are we Web 2.0
Last year Patrick McAndrew our Research and Evaluation Director wrote about how OpenLearn fits with the characteristics of Web 2.0 in Motivations for OpenLearn: the Open University s Open Content Initiative. Just for fun, I used the web 2.0 validator today and it returned a different set of (slightly less academic) criteria. Results are: The score for http://www.open.ac.uk/openlearn is 11 out of 66 Is in public beta No Uses python No Rocks out to the dance noise sound of Chinese Forehead No Uses …

2007-08-12 14:06 Richard Dale: Get Semantic with DBPedia and ActiveRDF

I've been trying out using ActiveRDF to make DBpedia queries and showing the results in a Korundum KDE4 app. This week the DBpedia team have improved the dataset with better extractio …
