DanCon: docs not updated; but telnum.py can be used as a tel: URI handler in gnome
 
danbri: "I kept bumping into RDF, and was totally bewildered by the documentation I found."...
 
 
dajobe: are spammers allowed to come to see how to get round them? how will they know?
 
Morbus: This resource is also known as Stupid Berry Pickers Make Idiot Jam and that fact should add suitable weight to the following declaration: I'm new to the Semantic Web. I cobbled this fair piece together in an attempt to collect my thoughts, answered questions, path-of-learning, and requisite bookmarks so that other XML hackers may follow in my footsteps. All inaccuracies are purely my fault, so be sure to correct me.
Morbus: This document is not intended to teach you RDF via my own words, but rather to hand-hold you through the "good" parts of the same journey I took. If it looks like a big link-list with menial comments from the peanut gallery, then you're not far off the mark of my intent. This is by no means definitive, nor was that the goal.
danbri: Cool, thanks for documenting your explorating of the (somewhat scattered) literature
DanC: after repeatedly noting that RDF/XML is "ugly as sin," this gives a very succinct tutorial on it. Starts with "RDF/XML with multiple statements, converted to triples:"
bijan: Allow me to note that sin is often very attractive (hence the strong temptation to commit it).
 
AaronSw: a Bayesian spam filter based on Paul Graham's article
AaronSw: see yesterday's discussion
Talliesin: How will it react to http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,54645,00.html
 
 
em: The Scorpion Open Source project offers software that implements a system for automatically classifying Web-accessible text documents. Scorpion is intended for use by investigators who have a machine-readable subject classification scheme or thesaurus and wish to incorporate it into an automatic classification system.
