It's been 3 years, but I have finally gotten back to blogging and to a previously shelved dream project. The technologies I've been working to create as a member of the XDI and XRI technical committees have matured enough to move forward and it's an exciting time.
Can't say too much about the effort, but it revolves around the concept of Communitivity.
Nope, not the math term. Though that does relate, it's the subject of a different post.
To understand Communitivity you have to start with Community and shift your thinking. Ask yourself 'What is Community?'
A noun? Well, yes, we talk about this community, that community, but does that make it a noun? Really? The people involved in our effort don't think so..we see community as a joint action. This is the same as when runners talk about this run or that run. So once we start thinking of community as an action, as a verb, a whole bunch of things fall into place, least of which are some new words:
Communitive - The condition of community, i.e. is the person or agent you're describing doing community?
Communitivity - How communitive is something?
And so we come back to this new effort, whose goal is to create technologies and standards that raise communitivity at the personal, corporate, and government levels (from village to federal department).
For more, come to my new blog at http://communitivity.blogspot.com. For another post on communitivity and what that means, see the first post there. Current Mood:  pleased Current Music: Fall Situation (breakfast mix), on ABF Underground stream |

Some of the things I'm working on professionally:
- Stuff for work
- Learning LUA, an awesome scripting language
- Installing Cygwin/X and configuring so I can have my nice X environ without switching comps
- Re-starting use of my del.icio.us
- Tossing XDI, XRI, RDF, and XQuery into a pot and stirring ... result to hopefully come soon
- Class work
- Setting up Google's new Feed Reader (It rocks!)
Which is a round about way of "Why haven't I posted."Current Mood:  busy Current Music: Enya |

Figures.. :)
 Bears are strong and independent creatures who roam in the forest in search of food. Bears are usually gentle, but anger one and be prepared for their full fury! You're big, you're tough, you won't back down from a fight, you have a bit of a temper -- classic attributes of a bear. Intelligent and resourceful, though lazy at times, you are a fascinating creature of the wild. You were almost a: Kitten or a MonkeyYou are least like a: Chipmunk or a DucklingWhat Cute Animal Are You? |

I'm learning PHP, and want to eventually have wiki features that integrate with LJ. I've written a simple PHP script that queries LJ for who has you listed as a friend and then adds them as your friend. It's rough, and needs refactoring, at least into an LJ class with the various functions. You'll need to replace my username and xxxxxxxx with your username and password. This version does not use the LJ challenge authentication mechanism so your password is sent in the clear..obviously that's first on the list of enhancements I need to do. Second is to put this into a MediaWiki extension so I can put gwalcharian:xxxx into a wiki page and
* LJ Friends
** Dansr
** HockeyNut
...
is inserted on rendering.

Looking back, doesn't seem like much. A large picture hung here. A hallway cleared there. All our living room furniture re-arranged (2 couches, tv, stereo, bookcases,misc tables). Lots of work for my CIS575 class on the wiki farm. Right, the wiki farm..fade to beginning... I started with MoinMoin for a personal internal wiki. As I've been working on Communitivity.com I've needed more features, so switched to MediaWiki, same software used to run Wikipedia. That's where things sat for several months.
Now I've got CIS575, a software requirements writing class that requires a team project. Thinking to kill two birds with one stone, I kickstarted the UberWiki team project. As I slowly recovered from the infection set from hell, I started work on my wiki again as a team resource:
- Tore out screwed up rewrite rules that were killing performance for marginally prettier URLs
- Converted to 1.5rc4 MediaWiki, and PHP 5
- Added wiki instance for myself, http://wiki.communitivity.com/wolf
- And one for wabbit, http://wiki.communitivity.com/wabbit
- And one for CIS575, http://wiki.communitivity.com/CIS575
- Locked the wikis down so that anyone can create accounts, only logged in users can post, and unless you're added as an editor by me or wabbit you can only post on the discussion pages for now.
- Figured out how to modify sidebar on wiki, and added project section on CIS575 wiki
- Expanded project feature list, determined in/out of scope for feature items, and started work on use cases
And lots more to do this weekend, even though Father-in-law coming:
- Work some more on use cases for team project
- Finish draft of WS Orchestration/Choreography presentation for work
- Some hw
- Some RDF work for join presentation with a friend, more as sonn as released
Time to maybe do a little relaxing by playing Horizons, see if I can get to lvl 20 Druid.

Still working on my own blogging software, but got an LJ account so I can interact with my wife's LJ account ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=88.8) gwalcharianwife and our friends also on LJ. I'll blog here while working on my sw, and then publish blog entries to my main blog and my LJ.
