- See Wolfram Alpha in Action: Our Screenshots - ReadWriteWeb
Last weekend, we attended a web demo of Wolfram Alpha, a new "computational knowledge engine" based on the work of Stephen Wolfram. …so we think it's only fair that we share our own screenshots with our readers at this point.
- Uploading and Linking images and files in WikkaWiki | Info Tech Scraps
I’ve been a fan of WikkaWiki. It’s the light weight, ultra fast and highly customizable Wiki software. However, there are few glitches in WikkaWiki and some of it’s features like Actions and Handlers can be highly confusing to new users who never used Wiki software or used some standard stuff like MediaWiki (the software used by Wikipedia).
One of the glitch is uploading Images and Files and linking/attaching them to your Pages. If you have this problem, follow the instructions below and have none of it.
- In Traction » Blog Archive » New Homepage
I started to experiment with a WikkaWiki-based homepage and was able to very quickly migrate my content and create a custom skin. I was impressed! There was a catch though. WikkaWiki did not support file uploads in an easy way, and custom markup (e.g. lists with a certain CSS class) seemed to be hard to achieve. Having the ability to upload files was essential for me, since I did not want to use an (S)FTP client everytime I wanted to add a publication or screenshot. Custom markup would be nice to style my publications list. Although WikkaWiki supports embedding HTML directly, it is obviously not ideal to have large amounts of embedded HTML in the content of a page.

Heraus kam ein mächtiger Synthesizer, der alle erdenklichen Töne hervorbringt, aber so gar nicht danach aussieht. Es gibt keine Knöpfe, keine Kabel, keinerlei Einschüchterungstechnik. Ein blauer Leuchttisch, ein Haufen durchscheinender Spielsteine, das ist alles.
- reactable
The reactable is a collaborative electronic music instrument with a tabletop tangible multi-touch interface. Several simultaneous performers share complete control over the instrument by moving and rotating physical objects on a luminous round table surface. By moving and relating these objects, representing components of a classic modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sonic topologies, with generators, filters and modulators, in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language.
- RPX für WordPress at notizBlog - a private weblog written by Matthias Pfefferle
Das Plugin ist sicherlich ein genialer Marketing-Coup um RPX zu promoten, bietet für mich aber (außer dem breiten Spektrum an Login-Möglichkeiten) keine wirkliche Alternative zu dem klassischen OpenID-Plugin von Will Norris.

- A List Apart: Articles: In Defense of Readers
As a designer, the only way to ensure that the page makes for good reading is to read it yourself; to relinquish the design sensibility that is inclined to look at text and take the time to actually read it. It’s not an easy task, but then, neither is reading on the web, and making the effort may help you empathize with the reader’s plight. The web is still a noisy, crowded place—but it’s also limitless, and surely we can find space enough for reading—a space where the text speaks to the reader and the reader does not strain to hear.

- 'Data Preservation and Long-term Analysis in High-Energy Physics', Ariadne Issue 58
High-energy physics (HEP) experiments acquire huge datasets that may not be superseded by new and better measurements for decades or centuries. Nevertheless, the cost and difficulty of preserving both the data and the understanding of how to use them are daunting. The small number of cases in which data over ten years old have been reanalysed has only served to underline that such analyses are currently very close to impossible. … Technical issues including preserving the bits and preserving the ability to run ancient software on long-dead operating systems were also addressed.…Apart from the obvious ‘hold another workshop’ imperative, it seemed clear that experimental programmes that felt ‘we really must do something’ should be used as drivers. A first step must be to examine issues of cost, difficulty and benefit as quantitatively as possible so that the next workshop could have concrete discussions on the science case for various levels of data preservation.

- Frog CMS - Content Management Simplified | About
Frog CMS simplifies content management by offering an elegant user interface, flexible templating per page, simple user management and permissions, as well as the tools necessary for file management. Frog requires PHP5, a MySQL database or SQLite 3 with PDO, and a web server (Apache with mod_rewrite is highly recommended). It is distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License. The source is available from Frog’s Google Code project page. Frog is unique because of its simple templating code. Because it uses PHP directly, there is no need to learn yet another scripting language.
Me, myself & I
I am a student of social science at the university of Goettingen, Germany.
My problem
After years of working with various computers and surfing the internet, I have a huge collection of emails, saved webpages, bookmarks, word-documents, other documents adresses in local and web adressbooks, zip files etc. Not to mention tons of paper , notices etc. And I have searched years for a way to organize these informations, which means a) finding the things i am searching for and b) establishing relationships between them.
...
The solution
After testing some wikkas i finally moved to wikka. I made some little hacks to improve configurability, but mainly I am contributing to
WikkaDocumentation.
Since february 2005 i am a member of the
wikka crew, where my topic of interest is mainly the documentation (big surprise, isn't it ;-)
My thoughts about Wikka
Although
WikkaWiki is now a very interesting pice of software, there are always things which could be done better. And because I do not want to talk only, I made some contributions to wikka in the three fields which seem the most important to me:
Documentation
There's no good representation without good documentation :)
The most important part for every project is a good documentation. This occurs to software, too. Not only for developers, but also for administrators and end-users. A documentation is only good if there are no questions remaining after reading it!
Configurability
Since people use wikka for many different purposes, wikka needs a maximum of configurability. My additions to that goal:
- UserRegistration: An admin can choose if registration is disallowed, allowed only if you know a register-code, or allowed for everyone. This option (and the registration code) are stored in the config
- StayingLoggedIn: Let the user choose if he wants to have permanent cookies with his name and password or only a session-based cookie (to be logged out when all browser windows are closed)
- AutomaticUserPageCreation let an admin choose to create the page of a new user after his creation. As a template any wikkapage can be used.
- PageAndCategoryDivisionInACategory seperation of pages and categories in the category action.
- CommentsFormatting allows some (basic) formatting in comments. Problem with backwards compatibility :(
Compatibility
To use Wikka to store informations it is necessary to be as compatible to other programms (and older versions of wikka) as possible. So that wikka becomes no information-oneway, but a "crossing point" ;-) My addition to that goal:
- HandleCsvData is a library which shall contain functions for, well, handling (reading, writing, sorting etc..) data from and to *.csv files
- ShowCsv is the first action using this library. It shows the content of a *.csv file as a html-table.
to be continued...
