Transformed to CSS
I you feel like taking a look under the hood of this pages code, you might see something different. I have transformed most of the tables used for layout information ON THE POST page to CSS div encapsulation. I am in the process of transforming the whole site, so this is just a step in the process.

I was coding on my website and I came across this fascinating snippet of code. Somehow the output onto the screen aligned the array and structure information just right to make a very intriguing picture.

From text saving to XML (mostly)
I have been translating my site to try and only use XML, for storage of posts. This has been both a nice, but time consuming task. The thing that has come particularly nice is the ability to manipulate all of the XML technologies through PHP. Additionally, there is this neat video on web 2.0 (Web 2.0):

Finishing up
After seeing the presentations from my XML class I was pretty inspired by the projects that were presented (particularly: VoiceXML, Graph Online, ManuscriptXML, and open-document-conversion). I think that these technologies only provide a jumping board for the capabilities truly held within. On the note of VoiceXML, I want to do some research on how that might integrate with Asterisk (Open-Source PBX). The potential to have an almost completely free enterprise level phone service is pretty inspiring. What an age we are in!

Final Project Finished!
Some lessons learned: *Javascript is a great GUI prototyping tool - the ease of use and major functionality allowed for me to focus more on the XML aspect of this project. *XSLT is amazing, there is nothing better than seeing how powerful XSLT is with the translation of complex structures. *ANT is nice - after wrestling for hours with shell-scripts and batch files, it is very nuce to come to the conclusion of running one command: "./ant". Additionally the functionality provided by "./ant clean" is nice too, now the whole project can be managed from a single (very powerful) multi-platform file. *SVG is wacky - no matter how many times you try or how many different browsers you try in SVG will never display the same way twice. Therefore, it has come to my conclusion that the use of an outside standard tool is the best decision - batik was the solution for this project. *Extra Jar files make a project huge: with the inclusion of batik the project size if 6MB; with the inclusion of ANT the project is a whopping 50MB - these sizes are not ideal, but considering the functionality these packages provide, they should also be considered great tools!
Overall: This project has been a success and I cannot wait to add some more functionality to streamline the process.

Interesting info
Additionally, I wanted to share some neat aspects of how all of this project works. I am using a very neat toolkit from Bastik that allows some very powerful SVG manipulation, particularly in terms of how good the SVG looks on-screen. The toolkit also allows for the conversion from SVG to PNG, JPEG, etc. I am also using XSLT to parse the tree structure data, so the simplest information is sent between applications in a very clear fashion. A(BC) is a parent A with two leaf-children B and C - pretty impressive structure. This structure was used from an XML.com article about how to use XSLT to transform text data into anything. I am also using javascript to do some user interface stuff. This is from the fact that most of the GUI stuff that was planned in the beginning was way to heavily dependent on Java implementation, so much so I think the XML nature of this project would have been well watered down. Now...a report to finish.

Project update
So, I have found a way to get my document to SVG then output it in a standard format (PNG) all while using scripting files to use it off line - this will be automated with ANT. I am also using a java-script front end to enter all of the information and create the \'tree\' structure which is then parsed to a Hedge graph. A look at what the data has become is below.

So, I have been working on this project and I have come to a conclusion...I should probably use an interface design tool I am familiar with. Now having worked with javascript and PHP before I may just use HTML to give the graphical interface people can be used to.

XML with XSLT to SVG trees
Man the web is just awesome!
Found this little trinket of gold on the web - automated SVG tree generation. This is a far stretch of help, considering I have been trying to use jGraph this whole time. Which, by the way is so users can change the graph, not so the out put can be pretty - like SVG. SWEET!

XHTML or HTML 4.01 - Interesting Debate
I found this article which covers some interesting support issues of XHTML and HTML 4.01, particularly what the developers have been quoted as saying their web browsers are able to support.
XHTML vs HTML
"If you are using the usual HTML features [...] serving valid HTML 4.01 as text/html ensures the widest browser and search engine support."

Final Project Update
So, I have been looking at how I am going to put all of this project together and the solution clearly lies in the XML. As a matter of fact the common thread of consistency lies in how the XML exchanges the data for the standards of this project. The Java front end (pictures coming soon) is the portion of user interface that generates the data necessary for graphical output. The middle data processing section is powered by the data structures that XML naturally conforms to (like the DOM tree for XSLT).
And this is what it looks like:

Final Project ideas (like everyone else...)
I have been looking for a final project to work on for my XML class. I have contemplated several ideas, ranging from the SVG/AJAX implementation to GiZMO presented by Dr. Coyle, rewriting my web page to accommodate some modern web standards - XML, PHP, RSS (which will remain a project in the works), to the Master Feed statistics package - for telling the posting information to all of the blogs listed in a sequence (kind of like a metrics page for Google Reader - I have not seen it done yet). So, I have moved on to another neat idea that can hopefully help a friend of mine. For Mock-Trial meets there is some information that is kept from the teams to try an separate the team identities. However, the natural desire - and competitive edge - is to try and decode this order. Also, the teams compete in a bracket style competition (and power matching) so it helps to see the teams one has competed with indirectly. I think this will be a fun project because the logic is fairly straight forward. I am hoping this will allow me to explore some of the fine points of polishing up this project - especially the user interface parts. I also think I will be able to use some pre-existing libraries to complete some of the more complicated aspects (such as drawing tree structures). I believe the incorporated technologies will include (many XML related): SVG, Java, Ant (for versioning and compiling all different libraries at once), XSL, CSS, XHTML, Swing, and many many more ((infomercial like)). Picture of what I will try to make the end result look like, soon to come...

So it\'s been a while, but here\'s what we got!
So, I have recently been enamored with Yahoo\'s \"Pipes\" system (Pipes.yahoo). I have compiled a list of all the blogs RSS feeds from THE website. With this, I present the Master Feed, an RSS piped feed with all of the conglomerated blog feeds. The pipes allow one to see an over-arching view of all the websites with the most up-to-date view of all student posts.
Now for the improvements to come:I want to compile statistics and display them in an SVG format. Giving a visual representation of what people are updating the most.Secondly, there could be a representation with the most popular time of day to post. C) This could be used for a reflow - to prove that content is no good unless reused an represented - like the CNN of the XML class

XML with XSL translation
Take a look at this: Catalog.xmlIt is an XML file with XSL translation that will translate in the browser. Although, this may not be the best way to transfer XML data it is very interesting that the translation from "raw" data can occur with minimal "compilation".

Yahoo to Ical Converter
How difficult would it be for you to code the converter to go the opposite direction? The solution you have is great but I\'m trying to figure out a way to sync my home computer with my work - unfortunately PDA is out of the question because I use Mozilla and my work is 3 hours away over citrix so a pda can not be used at either end. I was thinking of using yahoo as the middle guy which will be perfect but I can\'t find a solution to get anything back out of ical (and for some reason outlook won\'t import ical like it\'s supposed to) Any help is appreciated.

So I am just sitting here studying on the fourth floor of the library at SMU, I look to my right...WOW! Ill get better pictures later but the details in this one tell enough...WOW. Lately I have been taking classes ranging from Philosophy to Computer Science (I might add I hate missing questions on those test that I KNOW I know inside and out) and all have been pretty interesting so far. The lectures are most of the time fascinating and well thought out. I work at the ITS help desk and get calls all day complaining about the internet being down...that has GOT to end. My residence hall has lost connection at least 5 times since I logged in. Absolutely ridiculous...but when it works it works well. I am sure that will be fixed in the years to come.

My laptop the other day decided to go on the fritz...wait the wireless card did, when I took it in to the Genius Bar (TM,R,C - apple dont kill me) they just pushed the antenna back into its slot - man I felt dumb. However, I did learn something interesting - apples run Open-Firmware, powered by Forth - something SUN has been doing for a while. Anyway, at start-up holding OPTION-APPLE-O-F will get you to the command line, looks a little more powerful than a BIOS, but I guess we will see.Emma you rule!!!

(that was good movie too)...well besides more updates on site code there is some cool stuff (imagine that). i have started A+ certification and hoping it wont be all that hard (i guess time will tell). on the note of hardware it is also cheaper and more effective to build your own WiFi antenna rather than pay somebody like hawking $20 for a watered-down piece of junk (though they do make some quality stuff). the guys over at operation gadget have more cool stuff to ponder about. one of these days I will write a comment board for the photos and blog...but it will have to be later. theoretically i could just conform and use one of the nice blogging plugins that have everything to get started; but i ask where would the fun in that be? the casio exilim ex-m2 camera is sweet its tiny and fun (though i wanted the z2...stupid ebay). oh well...i need to think about some stuffs to write about. maybe laterChris

more movies
so I suppose with all of the recent addition of movies there is some explanation required. well it all starts with the fun nights at my friends ranch, we decided it would be a good idea to dispose of the extra fireworks he had lying around - we had to do it with style - therefore we ended up with (on tape) a concussion bomb and some pretty technical fireworks (I say technical meaning that the instructions provided did not support a large enough explosion, so we improvised). Now from there we have the elegant RoombaVac - I will have to say this is one of the most satisfying devices ever - it just works. The floors feel cleaner the robot works when you are away and cleanup is easy, good going for the folks over at iRobot.
I was inspired to take a video of the plane landing for various reasons - one being that I have never seen a video of a plane landing posted on the web (granted I have not looked). The video of the waterfall is hard to explain, the effect is barely visible in the video but the water looks like it is trickling very slowly in sheets - it is one of the coolest things I have seen done with water (I also discovered that all they do is run water down a long screen to get this effect). And last, but most certainly not least, the monitor implosion. One day I was pondering whether a monitor would implode or explode upon a strong impact. Now rather than do internet research I figured a real life test was in order: all you need to perform this experiment is a monitor (old, unplugged, etc..etc), a heavy blunt object (ie sledgehammer, baseball bat, or in my case a heavy rake) and eye protection. I am going to neglect to explain what happened as the videos speak for that, but as far as I can tell monitors should implode-see for yourself. Man thatÂ’s some cool stuff-watch the videos.

\"...there are some crazy viruses, diseases and other scary bugs that want to jump on your wiener.\" - David DeAngelo on the topic of using good judgment. Its really quite a funny way to put it.
On other topics check out fark.com because its the awesome. Of course: /. or all of the Gadget Madness. Did anyone else know that you can put VGA (that is a computer monitor) from your USB port - how cool is that. And in recent news there is a controversy over Michael Moore\'s new film Fahrenheit 9/11, but really some people just believe that Michael Moore hates America. Maybe soon there will be some thing called reverse copyright infringement - we may just soon find out.
Have you ever wondered what the inside of an iPod or any other mp3 player for that matter - its pretty cool. And you could hack a really cheap digital camera. And really, politically, I believe that Bush is a fine president but the reaction he has caused with politi-evangelists is just awesome. WOW, way too much fun. Party ON!

Ceiva Digital Image Picture Frame
Man this thing is cool! 
All you do is plug it in and subscribe to the service, then all you do is manage it from the web. The only problem I have is the $110 plus price tag per year! So whats the most logical solution? Put linux on it of course. I am currently working on it now. (by the way the ceiva website gives you a one day subscription)

LANin
Had a LAN party this last weekend...it went down in my garage. Now I may be biased but it was the bomb, it was like having a party outdoors all night long. You can see in the pictures we played a little Splinter Cell, UT2k4, oh and solitaire (good multiplayer game). Man those things are great, just allow a couple of days for recovery because man they really mess with your head. Party on any ways!!!

All the info:
Six Flags rules, at least with the \'Titan\' they do (http://www.sixflags.com/parks/overtexas/Rides/titan.html). An awesome idea...that actually works, an automated car parking system (http://www.woehr.de/). Well Google might have some competition now that we know how they made their search stuff (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/04/03/1354222&mode=thread&tid=137). Overall, a pretty sweet weekend, got some sweet PDA\'s at the flea market: Cassiopeia PA-2400U and a Philips Velo 500. So much fun! I wonder if I can get Linux on these things, oh and look for pictures.

Interesting political debating....
There are so many facets to what is going on right now that I wonder myself if everything that we hear is true. I leave this board open for anyone to say anything - it IS the only way for anyone to develop an opinion on their own...to hear everyone else! Never should someone stand between the facts and appearances, everything needs to be known to make a valid, truthful and meaningful response.

Archives...
If you have never had the chance to go to your local library and look at the almost exessive amount of information, I highly suggest going. What I found amazing was the relativly recent information (magazines, journals, articles) published and organized. Now I find it obvious that the amound of information far supercedes this, however, it does keep recent archive of events...I think it is quite nice.

Math tricks...
So, (.99999999) == 1. Yes thats right! Let x = (.99999999), 10x = (9.99999999). Therefore, 10x-x=(9.99999999)-(.99999999)or x = 1. This, by the way, is a great way to reduce fractions: x=(.6969696969), 100x = (69.6969696969). 100x-x=(69.6969696969)-(.6969696969) or x = 69/99. I thought it was kind of cool.

oh micro$oft what will you think of nexT?
Well, to me besides hiring software engineers to make a more stable operating sytem and fighting off the monopoly laws - you can still finding a way for the big M to make a few pennies on the side. With Gate\'s newest introduction of a penny per e-mail...what will we see next??? the world may never know. On the other hand you could get in on those profitx by converting ( LINK ). That is just imagine all those hard worked years or being a *NIX FU and all the sudden you get %promoted% to true office professional. (BTW if the subdtle undertones didn\'t get you - WHAT ARE THEY THINKING???)

iTunes, truly a free program, rips cds (quite well I might add) and catalogs them in a music library...I really don\'t think I have experienced this great of a program for a while, I mean it just works. (However, they NEED a linux version ASAP)

iTunes, mp3s, the sound of amazement
Well, this weekend I won a 50 dollar gift card to the on-line iTunes music store. I have thought of signing up for the service in the past but couldn\'t really stomach the idea of paying for the service, as I had not tried it...I also didn\'t know if thats how I wanted to purchase music. Now...I have tried it, and quite frankly am truly inspired...they have a comprehensive, searchable music library...wow. The songs are 99c, and though a little expensive...is cheap, regardeless. I love the service and can\'t wait to get an iPod.
