  Simple Object Access Protocol
  Posted on Monday May 08, @05:22PM Pacific
W3C
SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized, distributed environment. It is an XML based protocol that consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing what is in a message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses.

  Transmit Smells Over the Internet
  Posted on Friday May 05, @01:35PM Pacific
Goodies
Your computer could start smelling like a rose or a garbage dump, now that two Israeli scientists say they have figured out how to transmit scent through the Internet. The system will use a device that recreates scents from about 150 basic elements. On the sending end, an artificial nose would pick up the scent at the source and convert it to a computer file for transmission, or a scent could be bought on the Internet, say the scientists.

As an avid reader, I like to know what others are charging for books. Here is a list of book bots (agents) that can help (in no particular order).

I am sure that there are plenty more. Feel free to add.

  Thinking and Linking Intelligent Appliances
  Posted on Thursday May 04, @12:20PM Pacific
Net Devices
Appliances that talk to each other would make it easier to manage your home. Thali is a new company with technology that allows your appliances do just that. As a result, your everyday appliances can do some pretty extraordinary things. For instance, your bedroom alarm clock can automatically start your kitchen coffee maker 10 minutes before the alarm goes off. You can have the electric blanket warming up minutes before you get into bed­ and have the alarm clock shut off the blanket in the morning, without giving it a second thought. The Thalia system is different from other "smart house" concepts. For starters, it doesn't rely on computers. Every Thalia appliance contains HLT (Home Linking Technology) circuitry that's embedded in the appliance's inner workings. This HLT circuitry gives the appliance the ability to "talk" to any other HLT appliance. Most Thalia HLT appliances communicate using the electrical wiring in your home­. Plug them into a wall outlet and they use your existing electrical system as their communications network. Other Thalia HLT appliances are battery operated­ and use radio frequencies to communicate. Either way, appliances with HLT circuitry talk to each other on their own, behind the scenes, without any extra effort on your part.

  Dynamic Image Rendering Technology
  Posted on Wednesday May 03, @10:21PM Pacific
Infrastructure
DIRT (Dynamic Image Rendering Technology) allows you to create high quality images on the fly. It is a stand alone web server that creates images with dazzling effects. It can render TrueType fonts, PNG files with alpha-blending, colored gradients, blur, filters, scaling and more! By passing DIRT simple parameters, you can have it generate quite complex, beautiful looking images. Think of it as a version of Photoshop or GIMP that is always running.

Resin is a servlet/JSP engine with integrated XPath and XSLT support. With Resin, Servlets and JSP, one can use XSLT in two ways: using XSLT to filter the output of a servlet and using an XSLT stylesheet plus an XML template to create a JSP page (XTP). Resin supports JSP 1.1 or compiled server-side JavaScript. It can run on IIS, Apache, Netscape and an internal HTTP/1.1 web server. Resin also provides load balancing for Apache and IIS.

  The Next Generation of Web Forms
  Posted on Tuesday May 02, @12:30PM Pacific
W3C
XForms allow Web application authors to combine the modularity of XML with the simplicity of HTML to gain key advantages in the areas of device independence, accessibility, business-to-business and consumer e-commerce, and embedded devices. The XForms Data Model deliberately separates the purpose of a form from its presentation. This allows the application author to rigorously define the form data, independent of how end-users interact with the application. The separation facilitates the development of Web applications with user interaction components and provides advantages to Web application developers.

  Web-based WYSIWYG Web Page Editor
  Posted on Monday May 01, @02:16PM Pacific
Web Apps
OmniUpdate puts you just one click away from directly updating your web pages, right in your browser. View any page of your site and update it right there, with WYSIWYG ease. The OmniUpdate service is free. It is not a website hosting service but rather a quick way for you to make updates and changes to your existing web pages wherever they are currently located. How does it work? You create an account and set up the correspondence between your website's web page server (HTML/HTTP) starting point and the file server (FTP) starting point using a wizard. When you initially start to update a page with OmniUpdate, you'll need to locate its file in a directory and click it to display the page. You then update it in a word processor-like window. When you save the update, OmniUpdate places a small OmniUpdate button at the bottom of your page. Simply click this button to login and have this page automatically displayed and available for update. Very well done IMHO.
