" In Re-Mission (http://www2.re-mission.net), developed by HopeLab, a Redwood City, California-based non-profit company, players control a tiny robot called Roxxi who moves around in a 3-D environment representing the inside of the body of a young cancer patient. Players can use Roxxi to blast cancer cells and control side effects, and winning the game requires taking chemotherapy drugs and antibiotics, using relaxation techniques, eating food, and keeping up with other types of self-care."

* Gone missing: edit from url history page * Thread topic Substitute kludglet for del.icio.us/html urls * Thread topic Can't seem to access my oldest posts * Thread topic Palm Blazer Browser & del.icio.us/html : New vs Old
The new del.icio.us is using this. Very clean design.
"The new del.icio.us doesn't work well on the Blazer browser on my Palm T|X. Every page gets a "page too large" error. The old del.icio.us didn't work that well, so I often used del.icio.us/html urls that worked well: the were fast and used the small screen efficiently. del.icio.us/html urls are gone. A mobile del.icio.us is promised, but until it arrives I've come up with a kludge for helps. http://mshook.googlepages.com/delhtmljs.htm is an html/javascript applet that is my attempt to substitute for some of the things I used to do with del.icio.us/html urls.

"Ron Gonen, chief executive of RecycleBank, in business. RecycleBank is a private company that contracts with local jurisdictions. So far, it services more than 100,000 homes and is expanding rapidly. Gonen's idea is to not just make it easy to recycle, but to make it financially rewarding. He's developed a system that lets households earn points based on how much they recycle, and those points are turned into vouchers that can be redeemed at national and local businesses. Gonen says a family can earn as much as $300 or $400 in RecycleBank points in a year. In one Philadelphia neighborhood where RecycleBank operates, he says recycling went up more than tenfold in a matter of months."

"builds sounds out of swept-frequency sine waves, noise bands, pink and white noise and complex waveforms. It can reproduce sounds from classic analogue drum machines with new clarity and programmability, and make entirely new drums, pitched sounds and sound effects! DrumSynth is not an analogue synthesizer simulation! Plenty of these exist already. DrumSynth can't play it's sounds in real-time, isn't polyphonic, and has no LFOs or resonant filters. What DrumSynth does have is a range of synthesis methods based on analogue electronics, with enough parameters to produce a wide range of sounds, all available for fast, convenient operation. DrumSynth also allows you to organise and audition your sounds, and store and distribute your sounds in very small .DS files. Sounds can also be exported to WAV files. To use DrumSynth, just turn on whichever 'sections' you want, adjust the parameters and envelopes, then click Play to hear the result."

"The core argument behind the presentation can be summarized by this tweet from Tim O'Reilly On monday friendfeed polled flickr nearly 3 million times for 45000 users, only 6K of whom were logged in. Architectural mismatch. #oscon08 On July 21st, FriendFeed had 45,000 users who had associated their Flickr profiles with their FriendFeed account. FriendFeed polls Flickr about once every 20 – 30 minutes to see if the user has uploaded new pictures. However only about 6,000 of those users logged into Flickr that day, let alone uploaded pictures. Thus there were literally millions of HTTP requests made by FriendFeed that were totally unnecessary. Evan and Kellan's talk suggests that instead of Flickr getting almost 3 million requests from FriendFeed, it would be a more efficient model for FriendFeed to tell Flickr which users they are interested in and then listen for updates from Flickr when they upload photos. They are right. The interaction between Flickr and FriendFeed should actually be a publish-subscribe relationship instead of a polling relationship. Polling is a good idea for RSS/Atom for a few reasons"

"The Goertzel filter is an IIR filter that uses the feedback to generate a very high Q bandpass filter where the coefficients are easily generated from the required centre frequency, according to the following equations. The most common configuration for using this technique is to measure the signal energy before and after the filter and to compare the two. If the energies are similar then the input signal is centred in the pass-band, if the output energy is significantly lower than the input energy then the signal is outside the pass band. The Goertzel algorithm is most commonly implemented as a second order recursive IIR filter, as shown below. "

"SWAN is a wave-averaged model that solves transport equations for wave action density N (energy density divided by relative frequency): (20) where cx and cy are the propagation velocities in the x and y directions, is the relative frequency, and is the wave direction. SWAN accounts for shoaling and refraction through dependent variations in cx and cy. The term S on the right-hand side is a source/sink term representing effects of wind-wave generation, wave breaking, bottom dissipation, and nonlinear wave-wave interactions. SWAN also can account for diffraction, partial transmission, and reflection. Specific formulations for wind input, bottom stress, whitecapping, wave-wave interactions, etc. are described in detail in Booij, et al. (2004). SWAN can be run separately and the output used to force the hydrodynamic and sediment routines (one-way coupling). Alternatively, SWAN can be run concurrently with the circulation model with two-way coupling, whereby currents influence the wave field and waves affect the circulation. When ROMS and SWAN are run in coupled mode, the current limitation is that SWAN needs to be computed on the same grid as ROMS. Each model can be allocated an independent number of different processors. The models are coupled using the Model Coupling Toolkit."
"SWAN(1) is a serially coded wind-wave model (WAM) designed to overcome the traditional difficulties of applying predecessor models (e.g., WAM,2 presently used at NAVOCEANO) at relatively small scales (e.g., less than 500-m grid spacing). Specifically, it uses a semi-implicit, unconditionally stable numerical scheme for geographic propagation, so that high geographic resolution does not dictate an excessively small (and therefore expensive) time step. In addition to a nonstationary mode, similar to WAM, SWAN can be used in a stationary mode, similar to the STationary WAVE"
