ROME is an set of open source Java tools for parsing, generating and publishing RSS and Atom feeds. The core ROME library depends only on the JDOM XML parser and supports parsing, generating and converting all of the popular RSS and Atom formats including RSS 0.90, RSS 0.91 Netscape, RSS 0.91 Userland, RSS 0.92, RSS 0.93, RSS 0.94, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom 0.3, and Atom 1.0. You can parse to an RSS object model, an Atom object model or an abstract SyndFeed model that can model either family of formats.

EtherPad is the only web-based word processor that allows people to work together in really real-time. When multiple people edit the same document simultaneously, any changes are instantly reflected on everyone's screen. The result is a new and productive way to collaborate on text documents, useful for meeting notes, drafting sessions, education, team programming, and more.

Lieber Herr Michalk, vor einiger Zeit haben wir uns bei einer Konferenz kennen gelernt, bei der ich mich zum Verhalten der Kulturindustrie im Allgemeinen und der Musikindustrie im Besonderen äußern durfte.

CommunityMirrors machen Informationen über Ideen und Personen, die normalerweise in Computersystemen verborgen sind, an Orten, wie Empfangshallen oder Cafeterien sichtbar, greifbar und erlebbar. Durch intuitive Präsentations- und Bewertungsmöglichkeiten auf großen Touchscreens steigern Sie die Wertschätzung für Lieferanten von Information/Ideen, steigern die Sichtbarkeit von Information/Ideen und fördern dadurch die Kommunikation der Mitarbeiter.

Use pictures to search the web. A picture is worth a thousand words. No need to type your search anymore. Just take a picture. Find out what businesses are nearby.Just point your phone at a store. This is just the beginning - it's not quite perfect yet.Works well for some things, but not for all. Your pictures, your control. Turn on 'visual search history' to view or share your pictures at any time. Turn it off to discard them once the search is done.

Bei dieser Suche geht es allerdings weniger um den Schatz selbst, der meist nur aus irgendeiner Kleinigkeit besteht, als viel mehr um das Suchen. Geocacher suchen Schätze von anderen. Und: verstecken Schätze für andere. Und das überall. Auf Bäumen, unter Bäumen, an Denkmälern und Straßenrändern, in Ruinen, verlassenen Kasernen und Industrieanlagen.

The ways of organizing information are finite. It can only be organized by location, alphabet, time, category, or hierarchy. These modes are applicable to almost any endeavor—from your personal file cabinets to multinational corporations. They are the framework upon which annual reports, books, conversations, exhibitions, directories, conventions, and even warehouses are arranged.

Collaborative Knowledge Management, powered by the Semantic Web Wikis and social software have revolutionized the ways we create and distribute knowledge. The Semantic Web has already begun to transform the ways we maintain, discover and share knowledge across platforms. The KiWi - "Knowledge in a Wiki" - project proposes a new approach to knowledge management that combines the wiki philosophy with the intelligence and methods of the Semantic Web.

The SIOC initiative (Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities) aims to enable the integration of online community information. SIOC provides a Semantic Web ontology for representing rich data from the Social Web in RDF. It has recently achieved significant adoption through its usage in a variety of commercial and open-source software applications, and is commonly used in conjunction with the FOAF vocabulary for expressing personal profile and social networking information. By becoming a standard way for expressing user-generated content from such sites, SIOC enables new kinds of usage scenarios for online community site data, and allows innovative semantic applications to be built on top of the existing Social Web. The SIOC ontology was recently published as a W3C Member Submission, which was submitted by 16 organisations.

The perfect shop for hackers, makers, coders and investors : open source hardware and highly hackable devices. Hackable:Devices aims to promote open hardware and its communities and offers a kind of social network to give them items to share their hacks.

It can act as a reader. It can eavesdrop on a transaction between another reader and a tag. It can analyze the signal received over the air more closely, for example to perform an attack in which we derive information from the tag's instantaneous power consumption. It can pretend to be a tag itself. It is also capable of some less obviously useful operations that might come in handy for development work.

This is the home page of a group of volunteer enthusiasts commited to further enhancing the capabilities of the already awesome Proxmark3, originally developed by Jonathan Westhues and release under the terms of GPL. You are encouraged to visit his site to read his original write up on the build of the proxmark3 as well as take a look at the historical progression from the basic prox to the markII to the final proxmark3. Please bear in mind that any statements on Jonathan's web site relating to the abilities of the board may be little dated now, and the capabilities of the proxmark3 have been (and continue to be) further enhanced, by great enthusiasts, such as Gerhard de Koning Gans who added ISO-14443a support and many others who continue to add features in their own time.

This device can do almost anything involving almost any kind of low-(~125 kHz) or high-(~13.56 MHz) frequency RFID tag. It can act as a reader. It can eavesdrop on a transaction between another reader and a tag. It can analyze the signal received over the air more closely, for example to perform an attack in which we derive information from the tag's instantaneous power consumption. It can pretend to be a tag itself. It is also capable of some less obviously useful operations that might come in handy for development work.

The RFID Security and Privacy Lounge references technical works related to security and privacy in RFID systems published in journals, conference proceedings, technical reports, thesis, eprints, and books. It is maintained and updated roughtly monthly by the UCL's Information Security Group in Belgium headed by Gildas Avoine.

OpenBeacon is a free design for an active RFID device which operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band. The device contains a unique serial number, but may have other information. OpenBeacon is designed as a transceiver device and therefore both transmits and receives radio waves. The intention of this project is to offer a wide range of use cases such as visitor or item tracking and wireless remote control with a free self-contained and low-cost RFID design.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) ist der Ueberbegriff fuer alles, was mit der transponderbasierten Erkennung von Dingen zu tun hat. In der oeffentlichen Wahrnehmung steht RFID wohl hauptsaechlich fuer Smartcards und fuer den Barcode-Ersatz. Doch die Anwendungsmoeglichkeiten sind immens und da die Technik noch in den Kinderschuhen steckt, sind viele Einsatzszenarien noch gar nicht erdacht. Diese Seite soll so ein bisschen eine Informationssammlung zum Thema RFID werden. Ob da gelingt, haengt nicht zuletzt von Dir ab. Also wenn Du hier Informationen einpflegen moechtest, dann fuehle Dich frei es zu tun.

Caffeine is essential for keeping the brain active during nightly hacking sessions. There are, however, many ways to satisfy a hacker's need for caffeine. Drinking Canned Capitalism (Coke) contradicts the very principles of the open source movement, for it is a closed source product, manufactured by a huge, evil corporation. This sweet brown fizzy water is unhealthy and does not leave any space for creativity; you just get what you pay for. It is like M$ Windoze. Coffee is somewhat better (much better, in fact), though it can cause irreversible neural damage especially in young hackers still in larval stage (e.g. K-8), if consumed in large quantities. Moreover, it is strongly addictive and does not taste very good for those not yet addicted. A good tea, however, induces catharctic sensations even in those, who drink it for the very first time, warming one's mind, body, and soul. Many cultures have developed excellent ways of producing delicious tea. The English, the Chinese, the Japanese and many more have mastered the art of this divine beverage. In this HOWTO, however, I would like to focus on my native, Russian way of preparing, serving and consuming tea. The issues of scalability (preparing tea for yourself versus the LUG gathering), portability (preparing tea using different utensils), and quality control are also addressed in this HOWTO. Cultural references are given for the curious. Enjoy!

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software on running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). The boards can be built by hand or purchased preassembled; the software can be downloaded for free. The hardware reference designs (CAD files) are available under an open-source license, you are free to adapt them to your needs.

Themen-Special: Effektschmiede: Text kann eine Geschichte erzählen, wenn er selbst zum Bild wird, etwa einer Form im Bild folgt oder sich als Neonreklame harmonisch ins Foto einfügt. Farbe und Form gelingen mit Gimp im Handumdrehen, wenn man einige Tricks kennt. Mit wenigen Basistechniken wird aus einem platten Font ein cooles grafisches Element.

Die deutschsprachige Wikipedia-Community steht nach Jahren kontinuierlichen Wachstums derzeit in der [extern] Kritik. Im September hatte sich ein offenbar länger gärender Unmut über die Löschkriterien entladen, die hierzulande [extern] restriktiver gehandhabt werden als im insoweit toleranteren englischsprachigen Vorbild, das etwa [extern] Stubs, also rudimentäre Artikelansätze zulässt. Auch die Rekrutierung neuer Autoren stagniert. International ist sogar von einem [extern] Autorenschwund, der sich innerhalb eines Jahres [extern] verzehnfacht habe. Urheber neuangelegter Artikel werden in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia oft durch Löschungen vor den Kopf gestoßen; wer uneingeladen an Artikeln arbeitet, deren Struktur von einem etablierten Wikipedianer geprägt wurde, muss mit heftigem Gegenwind rechnen. Andererseits gilt die deutschsprachige Wikipedia als vergleichsweise anspruchsvoll, was nicht zuletzt der Aufmerksamkeit der aktiven Wikipedianer geschuldet ist, die jede Änderung argwöhnisch in Minutenschnelle kontrollieren. Die internen Machtstrukturen, welche zahlreiche [extern] potentielle Bearbeiter ausschließen, hat der Netzwerkforscher [extern] Christian Stegbauer in seinem Buch [extern] "Wikipedia. Das Rätsel der Kooperation" (2009) analysiert.

The original Mandelbrot is an amazing object that has captured the public's imagination for 30 years with its cascading patterns and hypnotically colourful detail. It's known as a 'fractal' - a type of shape that yields (sometimes elaborate) detail forever, no matter how far you 'zoom' into it (think of the trunk of a tree sprouting branches, which in turn split off into smaller branches, which themselves yield twigs etc.). It's found by following a relatively simple math formula. But in the end, it's still only 2D and flat - there's no depth, shadows, perspective, or light sourcing. What we have featured in this article is a potential 3D version of the same fractal.

MSTROHM: "Why lists won't become superfluous." The list is the origin of culture. It's part of the history of art and literature. What does culture want? To make infinity comprehensible. It also wants to create order -- not always, but often. And how, as a human being, does one face infinity? How does one attempt to grasp the incomprehensible? Through lists, through catalogs, through collections in museums and through encyclopedias and dictionaries. [...] In the case of Google, both things do converge. Google makes a list, but the minute I look at my Google-generated list, it has already changed. These lists can be dangerous -- not for old people like me, who have acquired their knowledge in another way, but for young people, for whom Google is a tragedy.

Web search engines have changed our lives - enabling instant access to information about subjects that are both deeply important to us, as well as passing whims. The search engines that provide answers to our search queries also log those queries, in order to improve their algorithms. Academic research on search queries has shown that they can provide valuable information on diverse topics including word and phrase similarity, topical seasonality and may even have potential for sociology, as well as providing a barometer of the popularity of many subjects. At the same time, individuals are rightly concerned about what the consequences of accidental leaking or deliberate sharing of this information may mean for their privacy. In this talk I will cover the applications which have benefited from mining query logs, the risks that privacy can be breached by sharing query logs, and current algorithms for mining logs in a way to prevent privacy breaches.

The Yahoo! Webscope™ Program is a reference library of interesting and scientifically useful datasets for non-commercial use by academics and other scientists.

On the “social web” or “web2.0″, where user participation is entirely voluntarily, User Motivation has been identified as a key factor in the mechanisms contributing to the success of tagging systems. Web researchers are trying to identify the reasons why tagging systems work for a couple of years now, evident in, for example, the organization of a panel at CHI 2006 and a number of conferences and workshops on this topic.

Fotos von Menschen zeigen häufig rotgeblitzte Augen, fleckige Haut oder eine im Dunkeln verschwindende Gesichtshälfte. Meistens genügen wenige Handgriffe, um so einen missglückten Schnappschuss deutlich zu verbessern. Die freie Bildbearbeitung Gimp ist besser als ihr Ruf. Mit ihr lassen sich Porträts bequem, flexibel und mit dem gewünschten Effekt korrigieren.

Scala ist eine elegante, ausdrucksstarke Programmiersprache, die sich in letzter Zeit zunehmender Beliebtheit und Verbreitung erfreut. Sie lässt sich gut mit Java und der .NET-Plattform integrieren und ist als "General Purpose Language" für alle Aufgaben geeignet, für die man sonst Java oder C# verwendet.

I'm currently in the process of expanding my programming horizons to linux. In order to do that, it is important to have a good basic toolset on which you can rely on. and what is more basic then the IDE in which you write your code?

ZBar is an open source software suite for reading bar codes from various sources, such as video streams, image files and raw intensity sensors. It supports many popular symbologies (types of bar codes) including EAN-13/UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, Code 128, Code 39 and Interleaved 2 of 5.

ZXing (pronounced "zebra crossing") is an open-source, multi-format 1D/2D barcode image processing library implemented in Java. Our focus is on using the built-in camera on mobile phones to photograph and decode barcodes on the device, without communicating with a server. We currently have production-quality support for:

This is a small application that can be fed the output video stream of a webcam, in which it can recognise and decode code-39 barcodes. It is simply a console application that is limited to parsing an input raw ppm stream, outputting the barcodes to the stdout.

Barcodepedia is a community based online barcode database. The database is completely free to use, and everyone is welcome to contribute. Although it is possible to create a user on Barcodepedia, you can use the entire homepage without one.

The most basic rule of GNU Make and the environment is that any variable set in the environment when GNU Make is started will be available as a GNU Make macro inside the Makefile. For example, if FOO is set in the environment to foo when GNU Make is run then the following Makefile: $(warning $(FOO))

The Product Advertising API provides programmatic access to Amazon’s product selection and discovery functionality so that developers like you can advertise Amazon products to monetize your website.

This page collects several of the most common writing errors that I have noticed in papers, reports and theses. Many are related to incorrect translation from German (or other languages) to English.

I got this idea to create a servlet filter, that would inspect the thread-local store for the thread currently processing the request and log any thread-local references that exist before the request is dispatched down the chain and also when it comes back. Such a servlet could be packaged as a Confluence Servlet Filter Plugin, so that it is convenient to develop and deploy it.

Unstructured Information Management applications are software systems that analyze large volumes of unstructured information in order to discover knowledge that is relevant to an end user. An example UIM application might ingest plain text and identify entities, such as persons, places, organizations; or relations, such as works-for or located-at.

How to remove new lines from files or pipe streams under Linux? This post contains simple examples that show how to use common Linux shell tools such as tr, awk/gawk, perl, sed and many others to delete new line characters. C and C++ source codes are also provided. They can be compiled into a binary tool that removes new lines. To get started, here is an example text file: days.txt. Lets have a look at its content by running the following command from shell.
