iPlayer on Mac by end of 2008 says the Beeb. Meh. We've got all the core functionality already on this thing called the Internet, and it has the advantage of no DRM. 2008-02-09T11:02:59ZUntitled entry permalink

danbri points to Skype's slightly fluffy RDF implementation. RDF is not hard to get right so long as you grok it. The first step in grokking RDF is to realise it is not XML even though it occasionally looks like XML. Go read this. Anyway, good on Skype for trying. If they reified it or gave it some proper URIs and put time-stamps on there, it'd be a really useful resource for historical data analysis (ie. you could poll a person you are interested in every five minutes, store the results in a triple store and query it). 2008-02-09T10:19:04ZUntitled entry permalink

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
