peter has started an interesting discussion on faceted classification:

"Faceted classification, on the other hand, is a bottom-up scheme. Here, each object is tagged with a certain set of attributes and values (these are the facets), and the organization of these objects emerges from this classification, and how a user chooses to access them."
"Now, faceted classification isn't inherently innovative. In fact, objects tend to have a fixed set of facets by which they are organized. Where innovation comes is through user research that listens to how the users/customers/audience think about and approach a task, and providing tools to allow them to approach it meaningfully."
Dynamic Web-based data access using JSP and JDBC technologies:

"This article discusses using the JSP and JDBC technologies to integrate static, dynamic, and database content in Web sites. For the purposes of simplicity and illustration, the JSP pages here use short scriptlets to expose the JSP developer to the underlying JDBC concepts instead of hiding them in custom tags. The author introduces a key design approach that integrates JavaBeans components with JDBC, similar to the way that JavaServer Pages technology already uses beans with HTTP. He also provides code for implementing this integration."
Small Business and Web Sites:

"Many people have been asserting that all small businesses should, and will, become eBusinesses, doing most of their selling and communicating using the Internet. Others think there is no money to be made there, and that small businesses won't produce more than "free" web sites. I believe that both of these views are mistaken. A large percentage of small businesses are clearly willing and able to spend large sums of money to use the Internet as part of their relationships with customers (and will benefit from such use), but only for appropriate purposes, such as a basic web site. For most, "being like Amazon", selling online and keeping vast interactive databases, is not that purpose."
Writing SAX Drivers for Non-XML Data:
posted by e3
10:15:35 PM
"In a previous column, we covered the basics of the Simple API for XML (SAX) and the modules that implement that interface in Perl. Over the course of the next two months we will move beyond these basic topics to look at two slightly more advanced ones: creating drivers that generate SAX events from non-XML sources and writing custom SAX filters. If you are not familiar with the way SAX works, please read High-Performance XML Parsing With SAX before proceeding."
i got conferencing and a rosterbot running on the jabber server.
if you have a jabber account, you can add pixie@snowdeal.org to your roster. say, "hello" or "help" after she accepts your subscription. she doesn't know much right now, but she hopefully will soon.
but, right now, i'm already running late. i'm flying to austin today. and i'm not the least bit worried. no, sirreee, bob. not me. not in the least bit. hasn't really crossed my mind. not a bit. not. at. all. nope.

rafe points to a transcript from today's meet the press in which colin powell makes some very intelligent comments that i hope will get picked-up by the wider press tommorrow:

"SEC'Y POWELL: Well, let's not assume there will be a large-scale war. I don't know that we should even consider a large-scale war of the conventional type. But it's more interesting to note that Egypt and Saudi Arabia and most of the countries in that part of the world have come to our support. They have recognized that terrorism is a threat, not only against the United States, against them. They have suffered from terrorism, as well. And they recognize that this is not consistent with Islamic teachings. It is absolutely inconsistent with Islamic teachings. And so I think they understand the domestic pressures they are under, and they understand what they have committed themselves to. And when you even have countries such as Syria and, to some extent even Iran, indicating that they sense the problem associated with this kind of attack, it gives us something to explore, something to work with. And what we should be looking at, really, is the solid support we have received from Arab nations.
MR. RUSSERT: Let me show you what the president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak, had to say and give you a chance to talk about it a little bit: "'If you launch an attack against Afghanistan or another country on your list of rogue states, you will kill many innocent people, just as the terrorists killed many of your people,' he [Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak] said in the interview. 'Don't play the game of your enemy. They want your reprisals to bring forth, from the blood and ruins or your bombing, a new generation of militants who will cry for revenge against the United States.'"
SEC'Y POWELL: We're very sensitive to that. One has to be careful that in your reaction, you don't give the enemy exactly what the enemy would like to have, a new cause celebre. And so we will be very sensitive to that, and I know that my colleagues in the Pentagon are sensitive to that, as they consider the various options that are available to them."
i finally flipped the switch on a snowdeal jabber server last night. it's absolutely astounding how easy it is to set-up a personalized IM service.
i'm not sure why more isp's don't start to provide it. why have one of those oh-so-common IM accounts at aol.com and msn.com, when everyone can have an account @yourdomain.com or whatever strikes your fancy.
since i'm adding conferencing and various sundry services the server is down more than its up, so i've disabled the ability to register new users - not that i can imagine that there's going to be a mad rush to snatch-up snowdeal.org jabber IDs.

“The stranger has been a fundamental touchstone of cultures at least since Abraham and Sarah invited weary road travelers into their tent only to find out that they were angels in disguise. The Odyssey, too, is a meditation on strangers and hospitality: Odysseus experiences different ways of being a stranger on his way home while the suitors abuse every rule of hospitality in his own house. It's easy to see why strangers are so important: a culture's attitude towards them expresses its understanding of its position in the world of social groups. In our culture, we're suspicious of strangers. They're a threat. They lurk in shadows. On the Web, however, strangers are the source of everything worthwhile. Strangers and their utterances are the stuff of the Web.”
