Today I'll go visit my parents and internet-connection isn't that good there (a real pain, believe me ;) ), so I want to wish everybody a merry christmas now already! :)

I realized it from the previous post - it had e.g. postfix and smtp tags in it. What will one later on search for? And wouldn't you just go classic searching for your keywords? Would tagging it smtp have been the best? Or would just mail have been even better? Folksonomy basically works, when there are lots of people using it, I try to substitute it by just wildly tagging myself. But I'm not too sure, if that will be a sustainable method. I'm already thinking of unlearning heuristics like:

  • suggest tags that have been used lately
  • suggest tags that are mostly used
  • combination of above
  • (semi)automatic renaming of tags based on clumps in the network


Especially the last one looks interesting and promising. We will need a "My FreeTags"-section in MyTiki anyways - and that need grows bigger and bigger with everyday usage.
Although I thought of some moderate rewrite of MyTiki some earlier already, I don't think, that this will be the moment for it. Perhaps even some tiki-freetags_admin.php with good perm-checking could do it... hard to say, I'd like to see it integrated in MyTiki. Well, I already figured out the admin-screen stuff, why not check out the MyTiki.. ;)

Debian starts to annoy me like anything that tries to be smarter than me. Gentoo is a nice system sayin: "I'm just a distro, I'm dumb, tell me what you want!", but Debian tries to tell me, what I should do.. pff..

Doesn't matter, Dovecot runs nicely and Postfix now also does what I want it to do. Horde IMP as the web-interface does a pretty good job, too - though I now have to say, that Tiki runs a little smoother out of the box. I wouldn't have believed that first, but it really looks like it.

I came to it, like the virgin to the child (as we say in germany).

#tikiwiki
[15:02:55] amette_: where is the morcego source btw?
[15:03:06] batawata: for creating a new tab, for example, you make an object that extends tab
[15:03:20] batawata: there's one copy at tw cvs :-)
[15:03:30] batawata: but we use svn at arca.ime.usp.br
[15:03:41] batawata: want a developer account? :-)
[15:03:49] amette_: ok, thanks - didn't look that closely - just yesterday thought, it would be good to have a look :)
[15:03:56] amette_: hmm... why not!? ;)


morcego is the 3D-browser, that is e.g. used for browsing Tiki Wiki-pages in 3D and since lately also the freetags, see here. It's written in Java, developed in SVN and built using maven.

There's a lot of new stuff for me to learn! :)

I once wrote in a paper of mine, that the theory of scale-free networks will be important for the future understanding and development of Open Source. With morcego, we are getting nearer to this. batawata already implemented morcego browsing of the TikiWiki friendship network with a little workaround to get clumps resolved. This is some very fascinating material to work on! Surely it will take me a lot of time to get into morcego-coding, but I see big things coming at the horizon! :D

UPDATE: I added the mentioned paper to the file gallery. It's german sadly, but don't worry - it's scientifically crap! :P Never the less a short, fun read for in between. amette_HSIM_20030606.pdf

I have it working, yes - but only some programs can access it reliably. The little nice script I use for upload to this site doesn't work alwys... and that pisses me off. It seems to work with GnomeMeeting reliably (I just can't do calls with the FritzBox in between, but local capturing works well all the time). Other programs work, too - like for example 'camorama', but camorama again gives some veery bad picture. It all seems to boil down to my personal lack of understanding of the v4l2-system. I thought of getting a Labtec webcam - but now I hear, that it has problems with low lighting... :(
Webcams and Linux seem to be a pretty tricky subject...
