History timeline in XMLI'm planning to put a timeline for my Chinese blog. So I googled "xml timeline" to find any spec for timeline information just like
OPML for outlined info. No exception, no such spec, but many similar user-defined formats(such as this one,
History timeline in XML). Never mind, I can use some of them to define my own one.

Not very good result in 2003 software businessAfter days of review on some businesses I ever invested in, I found that they are not in good operation in this half year. It's not for I'm not in executive team, but for bad market and too virtuall business model. As a matter of fact, I was phasing out of pure software business since this first half. Now I"m more interested in low-tech businesses + high-tech marketing, any good ideas, my friends?

O'Reilly Emergent Democracy Forum: "Internet technologies are putting power back into the hands of the people. Using blogs, MeetUp, cell phones, websites, and plain old email, citizen activists have already altered the face of the next US presidential election. In a less-noticed but potentially seismic shift, concerned citizens are using the same tools to have more say in the day-to-day tasks of governing. Are we on the verge of a fundamental shift towards truer democracy, or will these new Internet-fueled tools be co-opted to maintain the status quo?
We'll address that question and more at the Emergent Democracy Forum, a day that brings together the pioneers who are re-inventing democracy for our networked world. Hear from those who are defying conventional wisdom and changing the rules of the game--whether they're supporting a political candidate, advocating for a cause, or pulling back the covers on the workings of their local government."

Will Blog reflects one's social status?Yes, I believe so. I have been bloggnig for about one and half year. Many readers of my blog ever told me that they "read out" my social responsibility and "spirit". It means a fairly long period of blogging can reflect one's inner world. So it's said blog is "mirror" of blogger, different mirrors can reflect different aspects.
In the same way like human readers, there will be some complex algorithms to analyze one's blog and figure out his/her religious, policical alignment, educational background, etc. , even his income level(Fancy?). The program could be harnessing the power of ANN(Artificial Neural Network). It can train itself to act as a loyal reader of a specific blogger.

Global Brain), a concept I revisited for times, could be comprised by Millions of blog cells(neural) in the future.

We-Learning: Social Software and E-Learning - Eva Kaplan-Leiserson, Learning Circuits Early e-learning traded technology for human interaction. Now, the personal element is being added back in. New social software tools borrowed from business and the younger generations combine tech and touch for the best of all possible worlds (including virtual ones). In their rush to jump on the e-learning bandwagon, many companies created what is derogatively termed by some as shovelware: text-heavy content dumped online without much thought given to its usability or interactivity. Fortunately, that?s changing slowly. More companies are using real-time learning events, virtual classrooms, and interactive simulations to reintroduce the human (or almost human) element into learning technology.
A Grand Plan for a Tiny Science - JESSICA STEINBERG, New York Times
A good bit of vision is needed to grasp the possibilities of nanotechnology, the science of using very small things. As such, it could be the perfect technology for Israel, a country that knows about small. In the 1990's, Israel established itself as a global center for technology, using an influx of Russian immigrant engineers and harnessing homegrown military technology to create thousands of software and Internet start-ups. The boom led to the creation of more than 100 Israeli technology companies that are traded on foreign stock exchanges, including 80 traded on Nasdaq. Now Shimon Peres, a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and a former prime minister, is trying to ensure Israel's place in nanotechnology, the emerging science of matter measured in one-billionth of a meter.

Neural Networks in Chinese Lexical Classification by Md Maruf Hasan, Kim-Teng Lua
Abstract: Lexical attributes, like syntactic (part-of-speech) and semantic (semantic category) attributes, are in most cases, ambiguous in every languages. Automatic resolution of ambiguity of these attributes can be achieved using different techniques; rule-based, statistical, NN-based and their hybrids. Moreover, one linguistic feature also has influence over the resolution of ambiguity of another feature; eg.. knowledge of syntactical category can assist smooth disambiguation of semantic category and...
Rewrite some modules for GrasslandNow it's better to fit for Lexical Analyzation. All aggregated RSS can now be stored simultaneously into both local and remote server. Then be processed by Lexical module to get the frequncy of each Chinese word. It's very difficult to seperate Chinese words in a sentence since there are no blanks between different words. I shall carefully design the algorithm for it. Now take a rest for this task and start another job.

The Second Most Important Property of the Web A recent study revealed that only four important factors influence Web site popularity. The top-scoring factor was ??good content." The third most important factor was speed of downloads; and factor number four was freshness of content. What was the second-most important reason that made users like a site? It was "usability." Unfortunately, Web site builders report that whenever a company wants to cut costs of Web site development, usability is scrapped or at least postponed. Apparently, people do not realize that usability cannot be added on later--it must be built into a site right from the start. A new markup language--XHTML2--is being developed that will help site designers give usability the attention it deserves. [

A feasible solution to control the con-current users in global.asa, using the Application Object to record all users accessing current system. However, if the system can't support global.asa, I have to bet on the patience of end users at present.
Big barrier in front of Grassland!! I can't set glbal.asa on our current hosting server, since it's just a virtual space. Thus users can't share the same [Application] namespace. It will impact on the speed and efficiency dramatically. I have to rewrite some code from original design.

OPML, so simple but also confusing a format. Easy to manipuate and easy to make errors.
Also talked with Chedong and Shizhao on Chinese language tokenizing, which can help anaylize Chinese's words in various blog clusters in future Grassland. Seems not so optimistic. Not like other western languages, Chinese is so bi-meaningful in syntax and spelling to do words seperation.
a weird Japanese character "??" in Schee's feed, can't be processed in my local PC(both desktop and notebook) with vbscript string Replace function. However, it passes on CNBlog's server. There could be some differences between the two system. ( all W2K, local is Professional, while remote must be A-Server). Unicode could be the trouble maker. Can't bypass this problem. So try to talckle and resolve it, sooner is better.
ATOM feed spec under criticized? Not pay close attention to a pop message in Sharpreader. It could be about ATOM's embarass situation, will check back after this working hours.
Some RSS feeds in my Sharpreader were put into Grasshopper test list, now I can search over thousands recent posts from these blogs, including my favorite ones. However, I should remove all English feeds in the future to keep Grassland mere for Chinese(Is that fair?)

Analyze the linked between blogs; 4. Automatically lock database temporarily when updating database; 5. Auto classifying and ranking RSS feeds.
