Still dreaming of your own personal robot?
Still dreaming of your own personal robot? Technology isn't there yet, but you can have a personal computer robot to save you time and serve your whims. Another benefit of FARR -- one that makes it different from SlickRun and other favorites--is that it comes from a developer at donationcoder.com, an active site for software developers. The forums there are lively, but not too busy to keep up with. Browse through the Farr Add-ons forum to unearth old standby plug-ins and discover new ones just as they post.

Tony vs. Paul - The Coolest Stop Motion Video Ever Made?

Screenshot - 12_1_2006 , 8_28_38 AM_thumb.png
This stop-motion video (where individual frames are composed and then played back rapidly to generate an illusion of movement), is incredible, and shows what kind of brilliant work can be done by some dedicated individuals..  Pure fun and brilliant!

Beginner's Guide to Digg

Screenshot - 11_30_2006 , 7_31_38 PM_thumb.png
As you'd imagine, this site provides good information about how to use the popular "social bookmark" site.  It's a nice read for people who aren't already familiar with the site.

If you haven't heard of Digg, read further and you can not only understand one of the more successful sites on the web these days but also get an idea of how you can leverage it for your business. Digg epitomizes the value of collective intelligence and community on the Internet in a way that not only brings value to its users, but also to businesses that are savvy enough to take advantage.

Note: Many of us have been critical of the flaws in digg (see here for example).

Nice New Blog by DC member on "Social Computation and Creativity"

Screenshot - 11_30_2006 , 10_22_12 AM_thumb.png
DC member alex3f, is a good friend of mine from University, and was one of the very first people on the planet to explore the use of collective intelligence on the web (he's published extensively on the field of Human Based Genetic Algorithms, see www.3form.com).

He's just started a blog on some of these issues and he's off to a promising start.  His second post is on the closing of the Google Answers service.  Definitely worth a read if you are interested in social computation and collective intelligence algorithms and architectures.

New Digg-Like Site For Game Development Stories

Screenshot - 11_29_2006 , 6_17_17 PM_thumb.png

devbump is a web application that allows you to submit an article that will be reviewed by all and will be promoted, based on popularity, to the main page. When a user submits a news article it will be placed in the "bumped" area until it gains sufficient votes to be promoted to the main page. The code for devbump is a modified version of the original source for Pligg whose original source was authored by Ricardo Galli. He was influenced by the extremely popular English technology site digg.com.

Building a Quiet PC

Screenshot - 11_29_2006 , 6_12_01 PM_thumb.png
Nice article on building a quiet pc:

We've all seen plenty of reviews of those big CPU coolers that promise to keep your processor chilly while reducing noise. Big, slow-moving fans are good at that. There are other parts of your system that can make a lot of noise, though. That graphics card can get loud when it spins up. The hard drive and optical drive vibrate the case during heavy use. If there's a fan on your motherboard chipset, it can sometimes be the worst offender: That small fan often spins at a really high speed, emitting a loud high-pitch sound. Of course, your case fans matter, too.
