Cargo
by mozkart
Cargo offers its members free standing personal websites with their own URL*,
a wide variety of templates, and simple but sophisticated tools to control the way their content is displayed.
A personal network of their own creation allows members to follow and comment on the work of others, making themselves known by their artistic engagement with the community.
To maintain the highest possible degree of quality, every site we initiate is by invite only. However, we frequently award memberships to unaffiliated talents who share a sample of their work (contact us). Setting up a Cargo site can be done in just a few steps:
1 Choose a base design
2 Add content
3 Customize the look & feel
4 Point a URL
5 Link with other sites
*Note: Cargo offers a Free Basic Service, which does not include certain features like a personal URL, but otherwise allows for full membership privileges. To access additional functionality we offer Upgraded membership. More info.
Cargo websites have a front- and a back-side. The front is a member’s public website, the back is their Personal Network, connecting them to the people they follow on Cargo.

Languages of the World (Wide Web) - Research Blog
Chinese and Japanese also seem unusual because there are relatively few links from pages in these languages to pages in English. This is despite the fact that Japanese and Chinese sites are the most popular non-English sites for English sites to link to. However, the number of sites in a language is a strong predictor of its `introversion', or fraction of off-site links to pages in the same language. Taking this into account shows that Chinese and Japanese webs are not unusually introverted given their size. In general, language webs with more sites are more introverted, perhaps due to better availability of content.

Facebook now stands as taking over a decade and a half of the dream of the World Wide Web and turning it into a miserable IT cube farm of pseudo human interaction, a bastardized form of e-mail, of mailing lists, of photo albums, of friendship.
5 Kumi Tachi | Takemusu Aikido South Africa | Aikido South Africa
by Takwann
The kumi-tachi (kumi: to unite, group; tachi: sword) refers to advanced partner practice with the sword, encompassing 5 basic forms plus variations. The kumi exercises and their variations are the respective beginnings and the in-depth study of the martial applications of the basic training exercises. Associated with these exercises are strict rules of engagement based upon traditional fighting methods developed over centuries of use and refinement in a feudal society, and because they have a great practical basis they therefore dictate many of the reasons behind the movements. There is a great collection of variations that stem from these kihon (basics), due to the variables of combat, and the creativity of instructors. Once these exercises are properly learnt through slow, controlled and relaxed training, the movements can be performed more quickly and strongly, with the timing and flow varied to enable the student to experience a wide variety of possibilities in attack and defence.

by night.kame & 1 other
Although our de-crapifying efforts have been noble and heroic (well, in my mind, anyway), we’ve clearly begun to exceed the scope and scale of what SQL Server search can do for us.
That’s why I’m pleased to announce that as of today, we have switched all of our search functionality network wide from SQL Server to Lucene, or more specifically, the Lucene.NET flavor.
