E então o Windows 7? Ninguém quer fazer download do windows 7 gratuitamente? É que o Windows 7 já foi lançado há mais de um ano! O que leva a que as pessoas continuem a preferir o Vista e a procurar o Vista sabendo que o Windows Vista era realmente mau?

Second Life Sex?

There are some posts that have some residual hits in your blog, but that never really fade away. 2 years ago I wrote one post about Sex in Second Life and how it sucked (not the sex, but second life)[in portuguese, google translation]. The curiosity is that this post never really got much traffic, but for the past few weeks that I haven’t been posting much here, it is beating even my home page. Go figure!

Sex is always a good topic for this persistent traffic, but this movements in pageviews are a bit strange. Is Sept. the sex in second life month?

The Observatorium – ECCS’10 PDF and Slides

The Observatorium – The structure of news: topic monitoring in online media with mutual information – David M.S. Rodrigues, In European Conference on Complex Systems 2010 – ECCS10; Lisbon 2010, Sept. 13-17 Setptember 2010. Slides

Abstract:Large, real time text classification systems are becoming a popular topic. We present a method for automatically extracting correlated news from online media using a dynamic similarity graph and use the variation of information as a measure to identify topics, lifespan and key terms. The presented method has the advantage of requiring no human intervention or training and having no pre-assigned categories because they emerge from the dynamics of the generated network.

If you could not attend my talk at ECCS’10 and still are a bit curious, here are paper and slides for the talk.
