the old [csv] filter on an old drupal version doesn't work any more using this I can (slowly) convert the articles to html tables.
]]>"Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java Virtual Machine. It is designed to be a general-purpose language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming.

"Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. When mutable state is needed, Clojure offers a software transactional memory system and reactive Agent system that ensure clean, correct, multithreaded designs."

Clojure Concurrency @ http://blip.tv/file/812787
clojure is ... "maybe the friendliest face that's been presented to functional programming"
mentioned the book "Java Concurrency in Practice " - said everyone should read this. it makes it sound like concurrency in java is really hard.

FLOSS Manuals is a site dedicated to providing free and open source, FLOSS manuals on a variety of technical topics such as audio editing, VOIP, video editing, streaming, free culture, audio editing, media players, and more. visit their site to read the manuals : http://en.flossmanuals.net/
]]>"The biggest deficiency in our free operating systems is not in the software—it is the lack of good free manuals that we can include in our systems. Documentation is an essential part of any software package; when an important free software package does not come with a good free manual, that is a major gap. We have many such gaps today. "
"Free documentation, like free software, is a matter of freedom, not price. The criterion for a free manual is pretty much the same as for free software: it is a matter of giving all users certain freedoms. Redistribution (including commercial sale) must be permitted, on-line and on paper, so that the manual can accompany every copy of the program. "

]]>drupal for facebook was a session by Dave Cohen. he's started a Facebook project on the Drupal site. the video of his presentation is online as well as the slides
there's a demo on facebook. I'm already feeding facebook with my drupal site blog entries using the RSS capabilities of Blog Friends and the built in Notes application, but it'll be interesting to see what the Drupal guys build.
and, speaking of facebook, mashable have reviewed widget box, a wizard for creating Facebook apps

]]>so, I'm trying chucK. this is the first chucK tutorial. I used the miniAudicle IDE instead of command line interface. it was very easy to load the songs into the IDE (miniAudicle) and play them. I had separate files for each module and adjusted some of the parameters to change the sounds, then clicked the 'replace shred' to 'take' the change and add this file's sounds to the output audio.
this it meets my criteria - easy and fast to use. now I just have to make it sound musical instead of a collection of random sounds & tones :) (the hard part)
chucK documentation
chucK community / mail lists
chucK miniAudicle documentation
chucK wiki
chucK projects - some people are hooking up chucK apps and Processing for java based visuals, plus there's many examples of laptop instruments, as well as a Max patch and more
listen to the audio :
chucK_tutorial01.mp3
loscha_com_tambura01.mp3 - from the loscha.comchucK tutorials ( Loscha is in the Australian band Toydeath - a circuit bending performance experience ) - this piece reminds me of the original samples of the bridges in the Jodie Rose Singing Bridges project and cd.
Andrew Garton's posted a question asking for recommendations for online video editing systems. I did a quick google search & asked on the videoblogging list. making a list below (& replied to his post) for reference :

found these ones.. though haven’t tried them. though I think I’ll have a play and see how some work.

a review here : http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/jaycut_online_video_editor.php
& the same guy reviewed a few online video apps : http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/video_editing_20_8_ways_to_remix_vi... where he lists a few (the ones u’ve listed plus more)
motionbox (http://www.motionbox.com/)
http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/04/02/motionbox-best-online-video-sharing... has a review with links to some others.
(from comments & googl & reviews)
Tubeloader
videoegg (http://www.videoegg.com/)
Bubbleply
grouper (www.grouper.com)
I asked on the videoblogging list, so hopefully some of the guys there will have some ideas. will post more if I come across some.
(http://toonamation.com/ & toonit sound cool - probably not what you’re after though!)
http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2124596,00.asp has a comparison chart for Cuts, Eyespot, JumpCut, Motionbox, One True Media. page back for fuller articles on each.
O'Reilly's site has a notice about Adobe's Photobucket coming soon (seems to be for pro users)

a chat with Richie, from Melbourne band / crew WD40, who builds sound toys and instruments for outdoor parties and festivals - for both kids and adults. he discusses his thoughts on the importance of play. midway through some people walk past and one starts playing a piano down the other end of the room so there was a nice chat about instruments and the piano Richie has at home.

Alice is a modern programming environment designed to be a student's first exposure to object-oriented programming. It allows students to learn basic computer science while creating animated movies, simple video games, where students control the behavior of 3D objects and characters in a virtual world. visit http://www.alice.org for more details

Squeak is highly portable open-source Smalltalk with powerful multimedia facilities. Squeak is the vehicle of a wide range of projects, ranging from educational platforms to commercial web application development.
Squeak is an open, highly-portable Smalltalk implementation whose virtual machine is written entirely in Smalltalk, making it easy to debug, analyze, and change. To achieve practical performance, a translator produces an equivalent C program whose performance is comparable to commercial Smalltalks.
Other noteworthy aspects of Squeak include
* real-time sound and music synthesis written entirely in Smalltalk
* extensions of BitBlt to handle color of any depth and anti-aliased image rotation and scaling
* network access support that allows simple construction of servers and other useful facilities
* it runs bit-identical on many platforms (Windows, Mac, Unix, and others)
* a compact object format that typically requires only a single word of overhead per object
* a simple yet efficient incremental garbage collector for 32-bit direct pointers efficient bulk-mutation of objects

The Croquet Project is an international effort to promote the continued development of Croquet, a new open source software platform for creating deeply collaborative multi-user online applications. It features a network architecture that supports communication, collaboration, resource sharing, and synchronous computation among multiple users. Using the downloadable Croquet SDK, software developers can benefit from a flexible enough framework that virtually any user interface concept could quickly and easily be prototyped and deployed to create powerful and highly collaborative multi-user 2D and 3D applications and simulations.
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croquet_project
Croquet is a combination of computer software and network architecture that supports deep collaboration and resource sharing among multiple users within the context of a large-scale distributed information system. Along with providing a flexible enough framework that virtually any user interface concept could quickly and easily be prototyped and deployed, Croquet can be used to deliver compelling 3D collaborative visualizations and simulations.
Croquet incorporates replication of computation (both objects and activity), and the idea of active shared subspaces in its basic interpreter model. More traditional distributed systems replicate data, but try very hard not to replicate computation. But, it is often easier and more efficient to send the computation to the data, rather than the other way round. Consequently, Croquet is defined so that replication of computations is just as easy as replication of data.
