From our recent Educational Improvement Council (EIC) follow-up meeting (our version of the district site-based decision making committee) in which I proposed that we not simple write goals for the district (which are currently nonexistent), but to rewrite the mission, vision, values, and goals by connecting to students, parents, business and community members via social networking (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.) to gather feedback on 1) what is school for; 2) why do you do what you do; 3 what matters to you; and 4) why are you here (in Denton ISD). Additionally, I continued the pitch that we completely “rebrand” Denton ISD as we are at the cusp of change in education with the uncertainty in 1) educational funding; 2) assessment; 3) accountability; 4) competition (from charter schools, private schools, home schools, virtual schools, etc.); in addition to be at the “tipping point” of educational revolution and a fundamental change in school as we know it.

(SKIP TO SLIDE 113 IF YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT TWITTER IS.) A presentation I gave at the Nurun Montreal head office in February 2009. The subject covers an idea I had about leveraging the viral potential of Twitter to benefit both its users and third parties looking for some marketing love.
However, nearly a year after its release, is Threads still living up to the hype? While the app saw an explosion of sign-ups in its first few weeks, with over 100 million users joining in less than a week, the initial excitement seems to have waned among many early adopters.

Keynote delivered at the SRA Social Media in Social Research conference, London, 24 June, 2013. The presentation highlights some thoughts on sampling, tools, data, ethics and user requirements for Twitter analytics, including an overview of a series of recent tools.
Historical Twitter data is full of valuable analytical insights. Until a few years ago, accessing Twitter data required specialized technical skills. But the emergence of third-party tools has made it much easier to not only access Twitter data but also extract comprehensive insights in the form of analytics. Don’t waste any more time exploring the various alternatives, initiate TrackMyHashtag’s free trial and test the effectiveness of the tool yourself.

FRAMEWORK FOR ANALYZING TWITTER TO DETECT COMMUNITY SUSPICIOUS CRIME ACTIVITYcscpconf
This research work discusses how an integrated open source intelligence framework can help the law enforcements and government entities who are investigating crimes based on statistical and graph analysis on Twitter data. The solution supports a real-time and off-line analysis of the tweets collections. The framework employs tools that support big data processing capabilities, to collect, process and analyze a huge amount of data. The outline solution supports content and textual based analysis, helping the investigators to dig into a person and the community linked to that person based on a tweet. Our solution supports an investigative processes composed of the following phases (i) find suspicious tweets and individuals based on hash tags analysis (ii) classify the user profile based on Twitter features (iii) identify influencers in the FOAF networks of the senders (iiii) analyze these influencers’ background and history to find hints of past or current criminal activity.

Strategize your World Cup Marketing Campaign using TweetsKeRoxiLi
This project is designed for businesses that aim to develop customer-focused marketing strategies based on Tweets (Word usage, trend, sentiment, number of forward and likes etc.).
To use Twitter to its fullest potential for public communications, emergency management, and other functions, law enforcement agencies must first understand the medium -- not only how
citizens use it, but also how their peers use it both officially and unofficially. This study, a survey of 1,089 police and police-related Twitter accounts, used 25 different criteria to show how agencies and officers are using Twitter, where they can improve, and implications for their future use.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
