CWM 1.0 released

Filed under: Programming — JBowtie @ 2:33 pm

Just noticed this announcement of the CWM release via Planet RDF.

Since I just spent some time researching Python RDF parsers, I thought this might be worth a look. Basically you can feed it RDF or OWL, optionally let it deduce some relationships and then query it for interesting information.

It’s pretty simple to use (I looked at an earlier version last year) . I’ll have to do some testing to figure out just how usable it is now.

Skip commercials, go to jail

The US Congress is planning to pass a bill that makes skipping commercials illegal.

This is what you get when to law is written by commercial entities rather than individuals. I can’t imagine any parent wanting this bill to pass; isn’t it hard enough to handle advertising aimed at children?

Details can be found in a Wired article.
