Zipper!

Filed under: Dog and Cat — ericg @ 12:01:24

We drove to Sioux Falls, SD on Saturday, and brought back 1.91 pounds of dog.

Pomeranian/Yorkie, 8 weeks old, looks a little bit like a Tasmanian devil!

Goodbye, peanut

Best dog, ever!

She jumped off the bed, injured her spine, and spent 3 days whacked out on muscle relaxers. This morning, around three, she just gave up.

RDF personal finance database

Filed under: Semantic Web, programming — ericg @ 01:24:22

Okay, this is an idea that’s been developing in my mind ever since I realized how closely the secrets of the internals to Quicken® were held. Build a personal finance application that uses RDF as the backend store. Every time I’ve tried to do something in an SQL database, or as a spreadsheet, I run into the problem of imperfect data representation: if you don’t get your table models pretty close to what you’ll need when everything is finished, you don’t really have much that’s useful. RDF gives you a graph representation that can mimic tables that are arbitrarily wide. RDF remembers facts that are important, while allowing you to change your mind about  what’s essential. I’ll post more once I know more.

You know you’ve watched too much “Invader Zim”, when the phrase “slaughtering rat people” gets stuck in your head like a disco song from the 70s

klortho: fundamentally unsound

Filed under: klortho, programming — ericg @ 15:14:11

My bright idea, the one where I do a HEAD request, and then decide how to handle it?

Not gonna work. Things just get too confusing in the case of a POST.

I’ll have to do some major re-thinking, and revert some things back the way they were before.

Nobody said this would be easy, now, did they?
