SVG Weather Center - Tom Groves.net

SVG Weather Center is a place that takes the XML data that is being put out be the weather service and puts it into svg's. It's a neat concept and in the future could let us do things like weather movies from xml data....

Ruby vs Perl

So this is the current dilemma I am having. There is this great language Perl and this other language Ruby. Some people have said that Ruby is a better Perl than perl. I'm not overly convinced. There are too many times that I'm looking at a project that I'm thinking about and I see that I can do it in Perl with a few modules and a little elbow grease.

Then I look at ruby.

Ruby has elegance. It has style and taste. Just not many modules. So I start to try and decide what to write. The only problem is that I tend to think that less code is better. Maybe it's a learning curve issue. The other conundrum is that I really want to take this app into Rails. It would really handy in terms of creation and shoot, things like BaseCamp were written in ruby. It's responsive and looks just all sorts of fast. Now with that said, maybe I'll just have to clamp down and write some stuff in ruby.

Lol

I might have already posted this, but the guy that did the project is just plain wacky. And I like wacky.

ConceptNet

ConceptNet is a neat ass idea for AI. Let you infer given a few sets of phrases that they are asking about 'topic'. Now that is intelligent.

I might have to send this to my brother.

Fonzie

Fonzie was someone I always wanted to be. Now I'm not sure why, other than his method of debugging a jukebox. That would be priceless in my line of work.

No I don't know if this will stay up after next week. Yes it looks like it rocks. I want it mommy. I want it bad. Oh well.

Some things are best left desired, for the mind shall clothe that which reality leaves naked. -Me

Gaim Filesharing Plugin

These folks are trying to scrape some cash together to get a P2P filesharing plugin for gaim up and running. Which would be awesome if it used some crypto. Then at leastwhen I go to share with my family some picture of my son I can cringe less knowing that the RIAA/MPAA are just champing at the bit to sue the people that support them.

Wow, this is a real book.

Dungeons & Dragons For Dummies

Yeah it's a real book. No, I have no idea what possessed someone to write it, but maybe it's a good thing that Hasbro bought out D&D. I wouldn't have thought that something this *mainstream* would be published any other way.

TripleA :: Strategy Engine Framework

TripleA :: Strategy Engine Framework for Axis and Allies. Too neat the idea that you can play this classic game.

read4me

Welcome to read4me project page a program that can read a bunch of RSS feeds for you and then make mathematical guesses as to which ones would be interesting for you. I am so thinking of putting this up somewhere. It's a sweet idea.
