Marlena's Blog: May 2008

Saturday, May 31, 2008. Let's face it, most nerds have self-image "challenges." This is why we live online. Online, there is no acne, no bad hair and everyone is whatever size they want to be. Enter the WiiFit. The Nintendo Wii allows you to make a "Mii" which is Nintendo's version of an avatar. The first step in the WiiFit setup process is a body test. It takes your weight and you add in your height. WiiFit then gives you a BMI. A couple of the game-lets that I played were soccer and hula hoop. Socc...

Marlena's Blog: April 2008

http://marlenacompton.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 29, 2008. After my blog post last month, I thought to myself, "Girl! It is SO time to move on. Enough with the 2.0 stuff." With that, it was on to Semantic Web. Concepts. YouTube has been the most helpful as some of the W3C "tutorials" are, well, a little dry. (Not all of them just some of them.). Here is a list of some of the videos I really enjoyed:. Tim Berners Lee on the Semantic Web. An Introduction to the Semantic Web. Google Tech Talks: Semantic Web. Allows more developers to focus ...

Marlena's Blog: Why Developers Balk at Unit Testing

http://marlenacompton.blogspot.com/2008/08/why-developers-balk-at-unit-testing.html

Wednesday, August 20, 2008. Why Developers Balk at Unit Testing. Unit testing is a topic near and dear to my heart. It was at about this time last year that I was really getting myself up to speed with Google Testing Blog. And also Adam Goucher's QA blog. All of this reading and testing has pointed out some weaknesses in unit testing experience. How should this thing you're supposed to write be unit tested anyway? 2 Code coverage tools, such as this post. 3 How many tests should developers be writing?

Wednesday, September 3, 2008. Concurrency: Attack of the Dining Philosophers! This semester, I’m taking a great, gothy stab at concurrency. My boss has been suggesting that I look into it so that he can re-evaluate some of our systems at work and how well they can and how well they could make the most of multi-core. Was posted to Slashdot. Yesterday and hints at the massively concurrent processors (how ‘bout 200,000) to come. Think it’s an issue now? Yeah, it is. Here’s Wikipedia on concurrency. Because ...

Marlena's Blog: Classifier angst

http://marlenacompton.blogspot.com/2008/08/classifier-angst.html

Saturday, August 2, 2008. The Bayessian Classifier is working.now I'm onto the Decision Tree classifier. What I noticed immediately is that these two classifiers don't really appear to be useful for the same types of data. Dr. Hung gave me several sets of data and I think that they would all be classified more accurately with the Bayesian Classifier. The categories for both of these have been pretty simple. I'm wondering what would happen if my categories got more complex. They have real-world examples a...

Saturday, February 2, 2008. Web 20 List, Pandora. This week my assignment is to pick a web 2.0 application and write about what it does and how it works. At first I thought, "I'll just make a big list." But in true internet fashion, I found a really big list. Made by someone else. It's a fairly extensive list with categories. There's always the caveat that this is someone else's idea of what constitutes a web 2.0 app, but I saw plenty of regulars on it (facebook, livejournal, etc.). Yes, that's really th...

Marlena's Blog: Another Semester to Bed

http://marlenacompton.blogspot.com/2008/07/another-semester-to-bed.html

Saturday, July 26, 2008. Another Semester to Bed. Games class is over which is why I haven't reviewed any games in the past few weeks. This does not, however, mean that I haven't been busy. The end of a semester means that the focus of this blog will be changing again. I had fun blogging about games. I never seem to have problems criticizing anything, as my husband will be the first to tell you, so reviewing games came pretty easily. Really, it's called! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Saturday, January 19, 2008. Defining Web 2.0. Blogging from Miami.YES! My first task is to write a paper all about Web 2.0 as a statement about where we are now. I will definately be moving on to Web 3.0 stuff later, but it's always good to have some perspective and context. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Web 2.0 at this very moment on Miami's miracle mile. This article talks about who is involved: social-networking, wikis, folksonomies. Wikipedia also talks about where the term "Web 2.0" ca...
