Flickr & Twitter On Asynchronicity
Wednesday, May 16th, 2007
This morning I sat in a couple of sessions focussed on XMPP, Jabber: Social Software for Robots & Jaiku - rich presence. While Ralph’s overview of Jaiku and the way it can exploit XMPP’s notion of presence was interesting, Kellan & Blaine’s really caught my attention. They talked about how Flickr & Twitter are using […]
Five whole things?

So, as the meme peters out, the bottom of the barrel is truly being scraped and I’ve been tagged by Ian.
My all time favourite on-screen detective is Columbo. By a country mile.
In my youth, I was a fairly dedicated racing cyclist. I used to ride around 250 miles every week and competed regularly. Just writing […]

Creating ChangeSets
Monday, December 12th, 2005
One of the hard problems we need to solve now is how to generate the ChangeSets from our Domain Objects. What I would ultimately like to happen is that there would be a service out there somewhere that I can push RDF/XML to (in an Atom stylee) This service would be clever enough to pull […]
Rolling Back ChangeSets
Monday, December 12th, 2005
So far, so good - now I can programmatically create a ChangeSet, Apply it, query the TripleStore I applied it to and retrieve it, and Serialize it (as RDF/XML or NTriples using the supplied RdfWriter implementations in Spiral).
The statements in the ChangeSet are lazy loaded so that you can view the descriptive details without hitting […]
Change Sets

We think our datastore must maintain version information and provide rollback functionality.
One of the major requirements of the first application we’re planning to build on our generic datastore service is that it have wiki-like contribution and revision capabilities. To do this, we’ll need some kind of robust version control in our datastore component. So far […]

Friday, September 23rd, 2005
Pretty much all of the stuff contained below (and I expect, the stuff in future posts) is really new to me, so I thought I could probably do with somewhere to do braindumps in a [possibly futile] effort to help me clarify some thoughts on what we’re trying to do at the moment…
