Beta 2 of "Famulus" is Live!
It took us a little longer than we would have liked but it’s finally live. LOTS of fixes from Beta 1, an API for introducing new data models either declaratively or at runtime, authentication and authorization support, modularization of data models and matching APIs, and much more. Here’s the announcement: MSR’s Research Output Repository Platform…

"Did you know?"
I had seen this some time ago. A posted link by one of my contacts in Facebook reminded me of it. Great presentation style.

A DSL that changes itself?
Remember those experiments with MGrammar and Famulus? “Building an MGrammar-based application for Famulus“ “Famulus and M – Added symmetric relation“ As part of some more coding effort on knowledge graphs and inferencing, I thought that it’d be cool to evolve my Domain-Specific Language so that it modifies itself. As part of my investigations, I needed…

I am a proud owner of a goat 🙂
Simon Woodman and Einar Volset were visiting during the week. We went out for dinner, together with David Ingham. I took them to my favorite pizza place in Queen Anne, Via Tribunali. It was a lot of fun seeing them. At the end of the dinner, Einar took all our credit cards and put them…

Kostas’ first music video
I am just proud of one of my best friend’s first music video. He was sending me shorts as he was making it. I am sooo happy to see it finished. Kostas is a famous fashion/art photographer in Greece and now he’s taking his first steps as a director.

Warning: Changes coming to this blog. Also… Do you have suggestions for a new name?
It was Jan 12th, 2004, when I posted the first entry on this blog. The blog engine I built back then has served both my and Jim‘s blogs very very very well. However, it has really been showing its age. Some design decisions back in 2003 and inexperience with ASP.NET means that our generated pages…

Excellent presentation on "Identity 2.0"
My pal Panos Periorellis, who recently joined Microsoft from the University of Newcastle, pointed me to this fantastic presentation by Dick Hardt on Identity 2.0. The delivery style is really cool. Worth watching.

"This must be one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done" No2
Remember that post about me missing a flight even though I was at the airport 7 hours before take off? I had entitled that post “This must be one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done“. Now, what title do you use when you repeat the same mistake? 🙁 This time it came very close…

Alex and Savas at Dev8D to talk about "Famulus"
The Dev8D event is now over. As always, David did an excellent job at organizing a developer-oriented event that doesn’t follow the traditional, academic-style workshops/conferences. It was fun. It was also great talking with the other geeks in the repository space. There are many clever folks there! BTW… the “8D” in “Dev8D” is a smilie,…
