In Britain, the process of finishing a PhD involves the submission of a written thesis, followed by an oral examination called a viva voce (the literal Latin translation is “live voice”). The “viva”, as it’s commonly known, is an in-depth discussion into all aspects of the thesis which typically lasts between 90 and 180 [...]]]> http://boakes.org/viva-voce/feed/ http://boakes.org/svg-rendering-timer/ http://boakes.org/svg-rendering-timer/#comments Mon, 04 Dec 2006 19:04:14 +0000 Rich svg optimal svg optimization RDF rendering timer display timer svg performance performance optimization http://boakes.org/svg-rendering-timer/ Warning: apache_lookup_uri() [function.apache-lookup-uri]: Unable to include '/pics/2006/svgtimer/chart' - error finding URI in /home/www/boakes.org/htdocs/mods/plugins/boakes-depicticon.php on line 65
I’m doing a lot of work with SVG at the moment, and something that would be very useful to understand is exactly which parts of a diagram are taking the longest to process and render.

Two weeks ago TimBL gave a public lecture, organized by the Oxford Internet Institute. We were fortunate enough to get on the list so we went along. Apart from a few technical excursions into geekspeak, what unfolds over the hour is a remarkably accessible, sensible and enjoyable presentation that most geeks mothers will understand.

This is a bit of a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend quote, but since it’s semantic web related, I guess FOAFesque quoting is allowable. Danny Ayers just commented on Phil Wilson’s comment regarding Nick Lothian’s comment that “Every time anyone dares to question RDF the RDFites assume they don’t know how it works.” What this suggests to me is that [...]]]> http://boakes.org/feel-the-community/feed/ http://boakes.org/not-a-new-data-model-for-the-web/ http://boakes.org/not-a-new-data-model-for-the-web/#comments Wed, 27 Jul 2005 11:15:41 +0000 Rich semantic slashdot language simplicity lecture query grammar confusion http://boakes.org/?p=355 Warning: apache_lookup_uri() [function.apache-lookup-uri]: Unable to include '/pics/2005/semweb/balls' - error finding URI in /home/www/boakes.org/htdocs/mods/plugins/boakes-depicticon.php on line 65
I think the recent presentation by Adam Bosworth at the MySQL User’s Conference has been a little over-interpreted. It’s certainly interesting and presents some useful perspectives, but it’s not the “seminal lecture” that today’s slashdot story describes.
