AR-UX: The generation of the pervasive User Experience
Over the past year Augmented Reality (AR) has been touted as the next big thing. This presentation is from UX Australia 2010 and looked at what real world challenges we need to consider and resolve in this space as well as how we introduce and enable this information to be inclusive and relevant across many contexts.
As devices and networks evolve we become more connected to time, objects and people. As interactions start becoming separated from traditional interfaces, what is the impact for us as the people who design these experiences? How do we deal with connections that are no longer necessarily presented in or triggered from environments that users can see and touch. How do we incorporate this into our design thinking and approach when those experiences may have very real impacts on the notion of self.

IndieWordPress - WordCamp Frankfurt 2016
Soziale Netzwerke haben meistens nur eine begrenzte Lebenszeit. Posterous wurde von Twitter gekauft und eingestellt, Google Buzz durch Google Plus ersetzt und MySpace hat seine Blogging-Plattform geschlossen. Alleine mit Geocities wurden 2009 knapp 23 Millionen Seiten unwiderruflich vom Netz genommen. Jeder dieser Schritte ist mit einem Datenverlust verbunden. Die IndieWeb Bewegung versucht diesem Trend entgegen zu wirken. Inhalte werden nur noch auf der eigenen Seite veröffentlicht und erst dann über die Socialen Netzwerke geteilt. Aber nicht nur Artikel, sondern auch Bilder, Videos und Kommentare. WordPress bietet ideale Voraussetzungen um sich unabhängig von den sozialen Medien zu machen und dennoch dessen Vorteile und Reichweite zu nutzen. Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es aktuell, um Inhalte automatisch zu teilen oder Reaktionen im Netz einzusammeln und wie lässt sich mit WordPress eine Art dezentrales Social Network bauen.

YQL is a web service that allows users to access and manipulate data from APIs and web services using a SQL-like language. It acts as a "swiss army knife" for developers by providing a single interface to query, filter, join, and update data across thousands of structured data sources on the web without having to learn each individual API. The presentation encourages developers to use YQL for their projects as it handles the complexity of interacting with different data sources and lets them focus on building their applications.
Introduction to YQL - Talk at HackU 2010, IIT Chennai
YQL (Yahoo Query Language) provides a SQL-like language for accessing and manipulating data from diverse web sources. It allows developers to unify access to thousands of web services and data sources through a simple and familiar interface. YQL expressions can retrieve, filter, combine and transform data from any structured data source on the web or web services. This simplifies and standardizes data access for developers compared to reading documentation and constructing specific API calls for each source.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
