The Inquirer: HP adds Trusted Computing Module to PC range. It looks like their TPM is on a daughtercard like IBM's. They propose an interesting and maybe even useful use for TCPA: using 802.1x and client certificates (stored in the TPM of course) to prevent unauthorized machines from connecting to corporate networks.

New Scientist. Claims of "unexpected and stunning new physical phenomena" are rare in the abstract of a reputable scientific paper. But the latest report by photonics crystal pioneer John Joannopoulos and his group at MIT, soon to be published in Physical Review Letters, does not disappoint.

Wired News: Web 'Shaman' Fights His Demons. BUDAPEST, Hungary -- People and their ideas are like the World Wide Web, billions of bits of data that are far more useful and interesting when they connect, according to Tim Berners-Lee, the man who in 1980 conjured up what has become the Web.

BlogTalk presentations. There is a page with all the presentation files from the BlogTalk conference. Very good. I didn't know if I liked it to see my presentation published without my actual presentation - but I think it gives people an idea what is going on. If I had to vote for openess or against I would vote for (no matter how lousy the slides are without the words...). [owrede_log] 7:23:37 PM comment [] |

Weblogs and Discourse. I finally put online the paper that backs up my presentation at the BlogTalk conference in Vienna on Friday:
Even if that document is unfinished and will change: comments are welcome. [owrede_log] |

BlogTalk live. I am at BlogTalk. There is a special page with two webloggers blogging live. Jörg Kantel is blogging as well. That's what »getting connected« means to me: |
|
David Weinberger @ BlogTalk. David made some good points about blogging as a kind of self-empowerment, multiple-sbujectivity and journalism actually blending into bloggery (or vice versa). David is blogging live here. And his presentation is here (as well as the others). [owrede_log] |
|
Steve Cayzer @ BlogTalk. Steve's topic is »Markup with Meaning« and he is discussing Semantic blogging and emergent knowledge exchange. Common knowledge management approach don't support the sharing behavior of participants. The concept ultimately results in a bottom-up approach to ontology-building. If I understand correctly.. Here is his presentation file (PDF). [owrede_log] |
|
Notes by Azeem Azhar. Azeem Azhar is the host of the current panel and he is taking notes here. He has some other news for me on his blog: Matrix Reloaded is crap! [owrede_log] 7:20:37 PM comment [] |
|
Andrius Kulikauskas @ BlogTalk. Andrius is talking about »The Algebra of Copyright«. He is proposing a four-level model (PPT file) for determining the level of copyrights by the amount of parsing done with a work. I think you need to read his paper - I can't summarize his thoughts here. It suppose it is a way to determine if you can use a work by looking at what you do with it. David Weinberger has a good link for this material. [owrede_log] |
|
Ethan Eismann @ BlogTalk. Ethan is talking about the UC Berkeley Intellectual Property Weblog. He is ginving some thoughts to topic weblogs. Authors of topic weblogs explore the topic more deeply and attract other people interested in the same topic. Somehow the course weblogs we do at the Aachen University of Applied Science are all topic weblogs. The "problem" I currently have with the notion of »topic weblogs«: Sometimes there are topics not clearly defined, with blurry edges, experts that even do not know that they would be considered an expert to that weblog. Would they find that weblog? Would they actually search? Would they be attracted? But I can't come up with a better name right now myself... Ethan provides some "best practices" for a WKC his research has found:

Panel 1 discussion: Meaning in weblogs. People are discussing how complexity is managed by weblogging and if semantic web or a blogsphere map do really create »meaning« or just another form of quantity. My take on that: »Meaning« is not something outside anybodies head. It is cronstructed. The question is which strategies we have quired to construct that meaning. It might be the case that we create meaning by relation inbetween concepts. Recording a semantic network tries to record that relations. If they have meaning is not a question of what is in the semantic web database - but still what you get to when you look at what is in that database. There is a question from Sebastian to Steve about what is a benefit to for »emergent ontologies« and not simply attaching to existing ontologies created by others. [owrede_log] |

BlogTalk live bloggers. David Weinberger made a list of all the webloggers that are in the conference room that are blogging live! I experience some connection problems here with the Wireless LAN (some address conflicts maybe). Anyone else? [owrede_log] |

Hossein Derakhshan @ BlogTalk. Hossein ist reporting about the weblog scene in Iran: 12.000 bloggers estimated in Iran. Six of the top ten Iranian blogs happen to be ones with sexual content. His weblog is here. [owrede_log] |
|
Maria Milonas @ BlogTalk. Maria is reporting about the blogging scene in Poland (over 60% of the webloggers are women, 40% men). Estimated 100.000 weblogs in poland. She says technically the polish bloggers use less sophisticated technology (mostly only posts and comments - no K-Logs or RSS). 90% writing their weblogs from home. Maria is emphasizing the social aspects weblogs as a third place and a virtual social life - so mainly polish weblogs serve communication and community purposes. Her weblog is here. [owrede_log] |

A reminder to EduBloggers. If you are using weblogs in education I ask you register here and afterwards take part in this survey. It might be interesting for others to read. [owrede_log] 7:18:37 PM comment [] |

Fernando Tricas Garcia & friends @ BlogTalk. Fernando (and his colleges) is covering the spanish speaking weblog scene. They talk about how they tried to figure out how many webloggers are in Spain (and elsewhere). They also try to map the blogsphere visually. Their presentation is here (PDF). [owrede_log] |

Interesting photos. Paolo Valdemarin seems to create an interesting new art that could compete with the mirror-shot idea: How much recursion can you catch in a photo (displayed on a screen). (Simone Bettini joins) There are some more cool photos here. [owrede_log] |

BlogTalk: Dritte Lieferung. Über meine Keynote schreibe ich nichts, das überlasse ich anderen. -- Außerdem gibt es mal wieder massive Netzwerkprobleme. Bloggen ist gerade nicht drin. Wenn Ihr das lest, geht's aber wieder...
(Danke Heiko) [Update 18:00 Uhr]: Es geht wieder. Und Danke an das Kellerkind für's Daumendrücken. Und ja, die 25 Minuten haben gereicht -- ich hab halt einfach schneller gesprochen. "smile" Erster Vortrag: Sebastian Fiedler: Personal Webpublishing as a reflective conversational tool for self-organized learning. Zweiter Vortrag: Martin Röll: Business Weblogs - A pragmatic approach to introducing weblogs in medium and large enterprises. Dritter Vortrag: Oliver Wrede: Discourse and Weblogs - Weblogs as a transformational technology for higher education and academic research. Die Abschlußdiskussion dreht sich ständig um die Frage »Weblogs in Business«. Definitiv nicht mein Ding. Und Internet geht immer noch nicht (17:35 Uhr). HTTP geht (mehr oder weniger), Mail und FTP definitiv nicht -- und ich brauche FTP zum Posten... Die österreichische Telekom soll Schuld sein. Sind die Telekomiker denn überall gleich?

Operating Systems. As I was browsing websites, I (once again) came across the great debate: X vs. XP. So I'd like to know: which one is your favorite OS? Mac OS X? Windows XP? Linux? Please go into detail if possible and explain your reasoning. Hopefully, it will be fun! (Aaron) [Lockergnome's Bits and Bytes] 5:32:36 PM comment [] |

BlogTalk: Erste Lieferung. Keynote: David Weinberger: »Why Blogs Matter«. »Ein Weblog ohne Links ist ein langweiliges Weblog -- es ist kein Weblog.« Weblogs und Objektivität: »Blogs allow Multi-Subjectivity.« Erster Vortrag: Steve Cayzer (Hewlett Packard): Semantic Blogging and Bibliography Management. Semantic View -- Semantic Navigation -- Semantic Query »The semantic web defines standards for attaching meaning to symbols in a way that computers can process. The symbols are mapped to concepts and relationsships, wich are formally described using an ontology.« Zweiter Vortrag: Andrius Kulikauskas (Lettland oder Litauen"question"): The Algebra of Copyright. (Ich muß gestehen, ich verstehe gerade nicht, was mir der Autor mit seinem Vortrag sagen will...) "smile" [Never trust Micro$oft]: Momentan gibt es gerade technische Probleme. Der Windoofs-Rechner am Vortragspult geht nur schwer an's Netz und weigert sich, PDFs vom Mac zu lesen. "smile teeth" Umgekehrt würde ich das ja verstehen... Daher Programmänderung! Dritter Vortrag: Gernot Tscherteu, Christian Langreiter: The Blogosphere Map. Weblogs als verteilte Informationsfilter. (Stichwort: Selbstorganisierendes Wissensmanagement.) Sehr beeindruckende Demonstration... [Jetzt aber endlich:] Ethan Eismann, Mary Hodder: Weblog and sustainable Knowledge Production: Learning from the BIPlog (Berkeley Intellectual Property Weblog). Ein Plädoyer für Topic Weblogs. Es folgen ein paar Allgemeinplätze, wie Weblogs zu gestalten sind etc. ... Etwas enttäuschend. In der Abschlußdiskussion stellt Andrius Kulikauskas die etwas seltsame These auf, daß Weblogs kein Publikum benötigen. Das ist eine Variante des viel gehörten Statements: »Ich schreibe nur für mich.« Ich nicht! [Der Schockwellenreiter] |
