mharris: Definitely good stuff here. So good, in fact, that it's a shame that it and its replies weren't in an Advogato article instead. It's much less likely to get lost in the noise over time if it's an article, and will probably draw more responses--certainly more readers!
Speaking of which, I wrote an article about the Advogato trust metric last week, which I'll be editing and posting soon--perhaps today.
Interesting discussion recently about wavelets. As it happens, I picked up The World According to Wavelets as an impulse buy right after Christmas. It's technically in my pile of "I'll get around to looking at this one of these years" books, but with the spate of links here, it looks like I'll be reading up on wavelets sometime soon after all. (Or not. <sigh>)
On a related tangent, I happened to read last Monday or so about the findings about the speed of gravity from MetaResearch. Intriguing stuff.
FOAF updates: Trust rankings are now exported, making the data available to other users and websites. An external FOAF URI has been added, allowing users to link to an additional FOAF file.
