Well, none of the pieces work great, but at least I’ve got them all working together… The idea is to make a google query, take the results (urls), figure out wich ones are forums, parse the html, and save all the posts to one .txt file.
so far, i can make the google search, parse the […]
My midterm notes and code can be found here. Essentially I wound up refining some of the code I had written in the first few weeks in preparation for incorporating it in a final project. Since I am definitely leaning towards eventually deploying this as a web application, I may switch gears slightly and work […]
Ugh. So after struggling with Java for several days, and not making a dent in any actual coding, I decided that it might be easier to do the midterm in Perl. So I spent the past weekend struggling with Perl. I’m taking Dynamic Web Development this term, so it isn’t completely foreign territory, but it […]
The past few weeks have dealt out assignments that were pretty tough to handle in PHP–at least, for a beginner. This one is ridiculously easy…made me thank God I didn’t have to do it in Java. PHP has a simpleXML function that loads XML output into a string lickety-split:
$string = “http://stuff.xml”;
$xml = simplexml_load_file($string);
Each node is […]
finally getting my proposal up…I think I’m going to improve upon my Ubicomp midterm, which is essentially a huge if statement, by streamlining it and allowing users greater leniancy through regular expressions. Not very creative…I’ll probably end up doing something else.
Steven & I are working on a dream journal concept together, but we’re still working out some details. Here’s the general idea/phases:
1. Setup a website to serve as a dream journal for users (login page, blog style journal)
2. Content will be compared against a dream dictionary, specific words will be isolated and users will see […]
Visualization API by Paul Mutton
Published by February 25th, 2006 in research and visualization. 1 CommentJust found this page at Paul Mutton’s site where he uses his PieSpy Java library to visualize character relationships in Shakespeare’s plays. If you’re interested in such things, you can download the API at this link. It seems as though it might be useful for any textual analysis that you might want to visualize, as […]
Reading to share : The Science of Word Recognition
Published by February 24th, 2006 in research and reading. 0 CommentsNo one has posted readings here yet to share, but I thought I’d go ahead and risk sharing an interesting article I just found called “The Science of Word Recognition.” (Don’t get scared when you see that it’s hosted by Microsoft. ) It might be more applicable to typography than strict textual analysis, but I […]
“Language is a source of misunderstanding”, Simply becasue we can easily change it’s meaning by changing the order of the words. For midterm, I’ve originally got several ideas such as using Video sensing to capturetexts(wherever the light point move to ,enlarge the text..like the function of a magnifier glass..) or building a tree that place […]
