How do I use a custom domain name on my blog? - Blogger Help
Okay...so the blogging capabilities we have been using for some time is about to change. Blogger is requiring changes to FTP publishing with a dedicated blog specifically for this. This is requiring some additional handling of custom domains. How do I use a custom domain name on my blog? - Blogger Help. There is a migration tool to help.
Has it almost been a year since I have posted here...wow...I need to resolve to do better. Although in all honesty, I have continued to write in my journal, the entries have just not made it here. I keep a local journal which at some point I would like to migrate here in some way, but maybe I will put them up somewhere and then continue from here. My journal is kind of a very basic blog like item but it is written in raw X/HTML code with a unique identifier for each entry as possible. If it is "blog like" I should really just take advantage of an existing blog tool. The only problem has to do with when I do not have network access, I am out of luck, which is why the local journal entries were originally written. As I get more organized you will hopefully see this in action. Of course after trying to post this, I also realized I did not update my blog correctly when transferring to a new hosting service.

Miner3D - Visual Data Analysis Software for Business Intelligence and Science
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 at both and see how they compare. Trac at least seems to provide default capabilities in Eclipse with the Mylyn plugin, so this may be preferrible. I forgot that Bugzilla is also available as well. We'll see how it goes.
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 problem initally, but this turned out to be a problem with not having blogged in a while and blogger.com has changed things up. I corrected this and was able to log in correctly. Here goes my first post with it. Wish me luck.
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 alternatives such as Maxima and Octave.
I also found a few good reviews to consider for these.
Move forward in time, I had been off of this for a bit, but then, while reading an article on API from Dr. Dobbs, I decided to look into it. I looked at the Wikipedia entry, which proved quite enlightening.
More to follow..
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 called BDB XML which used the Berkley Database with XML functionality layered on top of it.
There are other articles of interest as well such as one talking about native XML databases.
In the process, I discovered and article that talks about this some (see David & Goliath: A Comparison Of XML-Enabled And Native XML Data Management Techniques @ XML JOURNAL).
Oracle of course has their XML functionality (faq)...recently MySql with 5.1 also offers this database with XML functionality.
These types of technologies are good to look at when a data and XML come together.
