  1. .,. by thinking and doing by Horar · · Score: 1 · on How Do You Get Into Robotics?

    I've been writing up my robotics story on my website at http://asmith.id.au/robotics.html and publishing as much practical information about it as possible. I guess it works because this morning I received an invitation to apply for a robotics research position at a prominent university on the strength of the content of my website.

  2. An elegant alternative. by Horar · · Score: 1 · on PostgreSQL Slammed by PHP Creator

    For a simple, fast and powerful alternative web technology that leverages PostgreSQL's innate technological superiority, please have a look at http://asmith.id.au/mod_libpq.html Put simply, this apache module allows you to bypass all the middleware baggage and build your web applications directly in your PostgreSQL database yielding tremendous advantages in speed and robustness. One well known example of this technology in action is http://freedb2.org/

  3. Re:Gullible? by Anonumous+Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Freedb.org Ending

    You might find this weird, but when people talk about "open source" around here, they really mean much more than just "open". All I see on http://asmith.id.au/freedb.html next to the source code, is "Copyright 2006, Andrew Smith". Would you mind adding "licence: GPL" next to it?

    I am both "the Australian guy" and the author and host of http://freedb2.org./ I sincerely hope that in future you will spend a bit more time joining the dots before jumping to such sensational conclusions.

    In the meantime, I invite you to enjoy http://freedb2.org/ and browse as much of the source code as I have had time to document and post on http://asmith.id.au/freedb.html and http://asmith.id.au/mod_libpq.html

  6. freedb2.org compatibility by Horar · · Score: 5, Informative · on Freedb.org Ending

    I am the author of freedb2.org. It currently supports a subset of the old freedb protocol, enough to rip your CD's. Just point your software at http://freedb2.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi. There are also some new features which I will be documenting shortly. For some source code and a development history, please see http://asmith.id.au/freedb.html and also http://asmith.id.au/mod_libpq.html.
