Brief blogging interlude
LATEST NEWS: Congratulations to Olov Schedin (my business partner) and his girlfriend Sara! Today they had another daughter: Sara’s fifth and Olov’s second. The show must go on, however - Olov is closing in on our final deadline and says he will be working tonight. It’s good to know we’ll all have several weeks vacation soon.
I’m home after a first visit to our summer house. I’ll spend more time there after the final deadline. But first a little blogging…
Hal links to The Right Livelihood Resources. Food for thought. Thanks!
Robert Scoble had this to say to a supporter of Microsoft Smart Tags:
During this weekend’s top EU meeting in Gothenburg (Sweden’s second-largest city), demonstrations turned into violent fighting. Masked people were running wild, smashing up cars and shops. Three people attacking the police were shot. At the same time, several hundred non-violent demonstrators were arrested, and some people (including press photographers) were beaten bloody by the police. Swedish demonstrations almost never end this badly. The media coverage so far makes it very hard to tell what really happened.

Der Schockwellenreiter already links to most of the Python-related goodies I would otherwise have pointed at today - go there!
Jörg also passes on this Brief intro to Graphical models and Bayesian networks and several good Prolog links gathered by Chris Langreiter. BTW - one goes to Amzi, a nice little Prolog that I have used with great success in one large project.
Doc Searls thinks the unclear licensing plans of the new MP3-standard is yet one more reason to look at Ogg Vorbis: Open FREE Audio. I’ve been planning to do so for a while now… I still don’t listen to enough music while surfing. Silence is beautiful, but so is the right music.
