A pungent mix of programming, philosophy, pedanticism, procrastination, perplexity, peripheral political polemic, and platters of preposterousness.

M. David Peterson has pictures from the Semantic Conference in San Jose.

I have just added Remember the Milk to my Google Calendar. I like it. It’s pretty damn cool that Remember the Milk is integrated in to so many (web) apps (Netvibes, iGoogle and Apple Dashboard). I wish their API was a bit more open - I’ve written some Python scripts to post to Remember the Milk, but it wasn’t as easy as it really could have been. API keys should be available without having to send an e-mail - perhaps just by going in to a control panel and hitting ‘get an API key’.

Some incidental GTD propaganda: how to stop being late. I practice that which I do not preach.

Also lurking in my aggregator that I didn’t link to - Keith Alexander on why RDF ought to make Web Apps easier to build. Once we get some more big-S, big-W Semantic Web in to things like Firefox and Operator, it’ll all fall in to place.

Also from Danny is this report from the Semantic Technology Conference: “The reason the “suits” are flocking around this one is that, with RDF, we now have the accepted means and power to change the Internet from a Web of documents to a Web of objects or data.” Aheeeem. Seriously, good stuff. Let’s hope the VC funding is on the way… “;->”

Ophelia is getting irritated by the ‘community’ stuff. So am I, but I haven’t got the energy to express it.

Oh my, this is awesome. You’ll have to click through to see how cool it is. I wish I was smart enough to do this geo-mappy-madness stuff.
