Military Speak :-)

Ingrid und ich gehen so durch meine NeueHeimat

Dabei muss man wissen, dass in Kaiserslautern die US Luftwaffenbasis Rammstein ganz nah ist. Was insofern ok ist, da die schon seit dem Krieg da sind und einiges hier investieren und Arbeitsplätze schaffen usw… (ok, man könnte hier viel negatives schreiben über Luftwaffenbasen, aber das kann ja jeder).

Lassen wir eher die Fakten sprechen. In einem Viertel, in dem viele Amerikaner leben (was man an den Chryslers in den Vorgärten sieht), finden Ingrid und ich einen Glas-Container.

Einwurf nur für Grünglas. Kein Porzellan, Steingut oder Keramik einwerfen. For American Soldiers: "For Green Glass Only" - by order of the commander

Da stehen zwei Aufschriften, was mensch denn da nun reinwerfen solle, kurz gesagt: Grünglas, ihr affen!.

Auf deutsch steht da:
“Einwurf nur für Grünglas. Kein Porzellan, Steingut oder Keramik einwerfen.”

Auf English:
“For Green Glass Only – by order of the commander”

was der deutsche von natur aus versteht, muss man dem gast aus den USA militärisch befehlen 🙂
geil!

updated my foaf file

I made many changes to gnowsis in this prerelease phase. Today i focussed on updating my foaf file. To do it right, I made some hacks:

* Written a Jena Model accessed another Jena Model through XML/RPC. Great to have models remote with a fingersnip.

* Written a ExoBot, that takes some Jena commands (liststatements, query, etc) and executes the commands to build a new model. Fine to do recursive queries and sub-queries.

* exo-foaf, my foaf file creator now talks to the gnowsis server through XML/RPC.

Result is a foaf file that finally looks like all the other foaf files out there.

gnowsis alpha release planed for 28th september

I plan to publish the gnowsis alpha on 28th September, 12:00 berlin time.

So I still have 20 workdays to go, to ….

write the documentation, test it, build tarballs, write an installer, test it, drink coffee, hate my computer, write ontologies, hire new employees, obfuscate the dirty hacks, work on my todo lists, create new todos, hate todo lists, talk to developers, talk to my people, get the website running, get the website looking decent, test the website, use gnowsis, integrate our research project, write papers, love god + my neighbor + myself …

So the time is not enough, but something will be done.

I will post updates here from time to time (probably daily) to keep you udpated and to keep myself on track.

my 27th birthday

hello world,

today is my 27th birthday. 30th of august.

I had to google some facts:
27

a conference
www.icps2004.org/

what you can do on “27th birthday“
google answers:

Cameron Diaz has also birthday

so inferencing from these interesting facts, I would say that I should drink something and post some photos. As I am in Kaiserslautern and my Rat Pack is in Vienna, drinking will be non-excessive.
