The black hole…
I am the Chair of the Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies. It is the first year this conference will take place, but some of its tracks have some history. There are three main tracks, on Human-Human Languages processing (processing of natural languages), Human-Computer Languages processing (processing of programming languages) and Computer-Computer Languages processing (communication […]
Yesterday I gave an invited class on Classification Systems. I prepared some slides that are available on Slideshare. It is an opinionated view on four different types of classification: folksonomies, taxonomies, thesauri and ontologies. The online version lost some quality, but you can download the PDF version. Hope this is interesting for someone. Classification Systems […]
Yeah, I agree. It is kind of strange that for the Thor movie I post this picture. But to be sincere, I tried to capture one before, but I was too slow. This was what I get but I didn’t dislike it. So, here it is. Not really a Natalie Portman fan, but she is […]
Yeah, I couldn’t resist on posting here a screenshot with all these girls.First of all, a disclaimer: I am not a fan of Marvel Comics (the original books), but I am enjoying Marvel attack on the cinema. But I had in mind that Captain America didn’t use a gun. But probably I am wrong. Regarding […]
2006 seems to be the year of animal movies. Over the Hedge and Madagascar (2005) are more or less from the same time. But unlike these two, Open Season is warm movie. No big features, no big story, a minimal with no quality soundtrack and just some cool animation and a hand full of jokes. […]
Some time ago Google Docs (gdocs for short) was advertising their new presentation editor. Yesterday and today I decided to prepare two small presentations for a mini-meeting tomorrow, and use gdocs for that. The editor is not anything extraordinary, mostly a pair of text areas where one can write the slides content. As my slides […]
She is cute. Very cute. Love the eyes, the lips, the small mouth, the smile. I found her cute right in the first episode of House, current season (8). I would probably not watch this movie if I didn’t notice her name in the credits. If the title helped in this decision? Probably. But […]
I am a X-Men fan, but not a X-Men Comics fan. Probably because I didn’t read them when I should, and now I think it would be a waste of money to start buying all books. Well, back to the movie. I think the movie is good for a start of the story. I know […]
First, a relevant disclaimer: I use Windows mostly for two purposes, test my Perl modules under a Windows environment, and printing some stuff as my Mac sometimes can’t find some Windows printers in the network. This said, my Windows runs in a virtual machine, and I install these tools right after installing Windows. Browser The […]
Do you remember the good old original Mission: Impossible? Good old times. It is a shame some movies came to kill this series. Anyway, still great to watch after what.. forty six years?
