Have not ever delt with data mining, but I found an interesting tool for visualizing data. It's the Miner3D - Visual Data Analysis Software for Business Intelligence and Science.

Bug / Issue Trackers I've been working on getting my PMP (Project Manager Professional) certification. While doing so, I have been reviewing materal and came to a part about an Issue log. This got me thinking about finding a server / client component I could use. I discovered a version of RT3 which is a tracker tool I use at work, but also saw Trac which is another tool. I decided I will look

Testing Blog Post Entry editor I've been toying some with a recent Fedora release which I am doing to also compare it against my past experience with a recent Ubuntu release. I am an old school Redhat but have been using Ubuntu recently. I will discuss this more at a later time. But while doing so, I found this Blog Post Entry editor available which I am going to try out. I encountered a

I have recently been thinking of focusing some on computational mathimatics. I have been looking some at Stephen Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science". It just seemed an appropriate thing to put my efforts too. Wolfram is the originator of Mathematica which is one of the best mathimatical computational applications around (although a little expense to actually use). This has lead me to many

Recently, it has come to my attention to incoming data management tools that include XML functionality. By this I mean, data is stored in either a native XML format with a Native XML document management tool or a relation database with XML output or storage of XML data within the database functionality. One of the recent products I discovered was the Native XML data server from Berkley DB folks

While reading some a recent solicitation , I started looking at W3C Semantic Web. The Semantic Web is an idea where by "information is given explicit meaning, making it easier for machines to automatically process and integrate information available on the Web" ( > ) The semantic web also makes use of other technologies such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the OWL Web

Looking through some email and received an item about Small Business related information. In the process, I found another Solicitations page of interest. THis and other government sites, such as the Small Business Administration page could prove useful in developing business prospects.

While looking on some at the Eclipse site, I found an interesting proposal for a toplevel project called the Eclipse Open Healthcare Framework Project . This could be useful in improving health care related products in the future. Also found another interesting project related to the Mobile Tool kit effort relating to J2ME related efforts and device support, sponsored by Nokia.

Looking around some, I found some articles relating to the developing technology for mobile java graphics usage on IBMs site from a Slashdot article. It is related to JRE 184: Mobile 3D Graphics API for j2ME. This got me looking around, where I found that Sun has a Getting Started With the Mobile 3D Graphics API for J2ME (JSR 184) article. and other tutorials are available as well and from

[Blog] Seems with Yahoo, you can now upload photos to your My Photo section of their site. Here is my section of My Photo section. This is similar to the Photo Blog functionality I talked about previously, this involves emailing the photo via a MMS message to my yahoo account. Hopefully my MMS service with Cinglular will support this without too many charges.

[Blog]Well, it's been a while since my last entry, but I figured I would update that. In the process, I am also trying to add a little flare to the page and put some icons with each blog entry. Maybe eventually clicking on them will allow sorting of all blog entries with that, but for the time being, they are just there for looks. [Computer] Recently Google and their lab has expanded their

Visiting O'Reilly site, I found an interesting article related to ONJava.com: Playing Movies in a Java 3D World (and part 2). It mentions the Java Media Framework (JMF) for part of the article. It also makes mention of QuickTime for Java which also has possibilties. This gives hope of improved animation in the Java realm.

As a interested Eclipse user, I have the unfortunate problem of liking to install the latest and the greatest of the product. Problem with this may be I screw up the previously installed instance requiring reinstallation of all the related plugins, etc. While doing a search, I found an article at the Java Lobby about Managing Multiple Eclipse Installations. Worth keeping in mind.

Was visiting /. and found an interesting article about NASA releasing one of their products as open source. The tool is called Java PathFinder. It basically is a code checker to identify possible errors in code such as uncaught exceptions, race conditions, etc. It does so by executing muliple times identifying possible run time execution threads that can occur and the problems that occur under

Found an interesting pager related to Mind Tools which I found while looking for Problem Solving Tools which lead me to Problem Solving Techniques page.

[Programming] While poking around, I found news of Google opening up a Google Code part of their site. It appears as though this will be were they will release to the public, coding related products, APIs, and related open source projects. This might be worth keeping an eye on in the future.
