Conservapedia too pinko? Try Metapedia

Aryans battle 'Cultural Marxism' Those among you who feel that Conservapedia - the "conservative encyclopedia you can trust" dedicated to countering liberal bias - is not sufficiently tough on Marxist-Leninist dogma are directed forthwith to Metapedia, the "alternative encyclopedia dedicated to the pro-European cultural struggle".â¦

The ProDevTips website has posted part seven of their series covering the construction of a community site (or CMS) with the combination of Smarty and the Zend Framework.   Since XOOPS didn't do it for me when it comes to this project I have started with the blog component. As it turns out, a blog is more complicated than you would think. Therefore this part will not cover the whole component, only as far as I've gotten at the moment. Covering the whole process in one piece would make it a very long piece indeed.   He provides the code examples and complete SQL structure to get the blog up and rolling as well as some handy tips and explanations along the way.

University of California scientists use a Google widget to improve automatic image cataloging in large collections like the Library of Congress. It'll add "common sense" to computers' ability to recognize objects in photographs, by adding a semantic context to object recognition.

"As part of the Jakarta Commons Feed Parser, I have created a Wiki page that details autodiscovery support/non-support, syndication formats, and the common locations of all syndication files across all of the major blogging services:"  Brad created  a great "Hall of Shame" for blog services which don't use autodiscovery or have problems with feed subscription.  Shame. Shame. Shame!

By Padilla, Cynthia  Finding good sites for international information is a challenge for many types of online research. In an increasingly global environment, the Web is not just for those with English as their mother tongue, nor is Google the only search engine.

MediaWiki is the collaborative editing software that runs Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, and other projects. It&apos;s designed to handle a large number of users and pages without imposing too rigid a structure or workflow.  MediaWiki 1.3.1 is a bugfix release.   1.3.1 fixes some remaining issues from 1.3.0.  * Watchlist parameters now work with register_globals off * Fixed parsing of ''italics'' and '''bold''' mark-up (again) * Special:Allpages display is more sensible on smaller wikis * Fixed XHTML parsing error in classic skins * Moved pages update watchlist correctly * Fixed rebuildall.php on case-sensitive Unix filesystems * Disabled file cache compression by default due to incompatibility   with output buffer compression (ob_gzhandler) * New magic word PAGENAMEE (URL-escaped version of PAGENAME) * Installation avoids blank username; better message on missing   XML module * $wgWhitelistAccount no longer breaks all logins.

Because anyone can edit Wikipedia, the Web encyclopedia's reliability varies wildly. Now a computer science professor hopes to give users a better baloney detector: software that flags questionable lines in Wikipedia entries.

Tycho:  With PAX coming up this weekend (!!!), we didn't really have time on Friday to invest in Virgil's Wikiscanner - that mystical oracle that takes a raw IP range and then excretes a list of that organization's Wikipedia edits.  This is the pulsing, possibly Martian device that dished up last week's awesome Electronic Arts edits.    I wasn't sure if we should feel sorry for them or not - now that EA is situated in the number two slot, does that make them the scrappy underdog? - but I quickly realized it probably doesn't matter.  They can come right out and say "Yes, we edit it all the time," mischaracterize the nature of the edits, and by the time it's on the second page the events in question never happened.  People don't remember anything these days that isn't on the first page of their feed aggregators. In any case, the entire affair is talking place  on Wikipedia.  Kudzu will grow over the propaganda soon enough.    Though time was indeed in short supply, we did fritter some portion of it pawing through ancient email headers, scraping for filth on old enemies.  Or enemies with whom we have resumed talks.  Or enemies who are now friends!  Even people I hope to make enemies in the future by my careless commentary must fall beneath the scanner's baleful eye.    Like a chugging trawler, we hauled up net after net of treasure onto the deck, sifting it on hands and knees.  I'd never expose it, of course - sparking a desperate arms race to find self-serving commentary is a conflict I'm likely to lose.  And with the deep catalogue of nemeses we've inspired worldwide (and even below the world, in the warrens of the pale Gambrya, where hate is eternal) it's not what I'd call a fabulous scenario.  For us, at least; no doubt, our foes have already begun their malevolent harvest.

Russ asks: Where's the OpenSocial container API? I love Russ because he cuts through all the BS and gets right to the core, most basic question, and he doesn't care who he pisses off. That's my kind of developer. You can't lie to the compiler, when the bits hit the road, you gotta know what garbage goes in and what garbage comes out.  (Ahh programmer's humor!) In other words, suppose I wanted to compete with Google, MySpace, Plaxo and LinkedIn, well, where's the spec that shows me how to do that? Well, of course I don't know, they aren't communicating with riffraff like me, but I have some experience with this kind of stuff, so I can hazard a guess. If they publish a spec,all kinds of projects will likely get started to enable the API in (just for the sake of argument): Drupal, WordPress, Twitter, Pownce, Jaiku, Scripting News (why not add widgets to a random blog), CNN, The New York Times, well you get the idea. There might be lots of implementations very quickly. And that would be it for changes. It would be frozen de facto, they'd have to live with what they have, which given how quickly it was thrown together, probably isn't very good. Not the kind of stuff you'd like to support for the next decade or two. Or maybe they would break everyone, something guaranteed to make them a lot of enemies, much the way Microsoft did, and they were good at migration of APIs.  Google is good at doing AJAXy web UIs, they make users happy, but they're not very good at APIs. This one is a loser, for sure. That's the answer to Russ's question. It's probably not malice that keeps them from releasing details to everyone outside their club, it's pragmatism. They have to try to hold on to it to keep it from becoming even more of a mess than it already is. Just my opinion, for what it's worth. I've been wrong many times before.
