Mark Pilgrim has an eloquent post about reasons why open source software is good, and it’s not about the money. He’s switched to WordPress, as hordes of other bloggers are doing. I haven’t researched the alternatives, but WordPress does look good. Not sufficient for my students, but I’ve got half a year to work that out. WordPress have even set up an installation you can play with – simply log in as admin/demo. The installation looks a lot simpler than the Moveable Type installation, except I’m going to find out what my server’s MySQL setup is. Which shouldn’t be too hard.

    The installation and MT import are both very easy. I moved to WordPress yesterday and found that the entire procedure (installation, import, editing templates, installing blacklist) only took a few hours. Definitely worth doingóso far WordPress seems great!

    in 4 or so years of blogging, i’ve used just about every blogging tool out there — MT, blosxom, blogger, greymatter (the list goes on). I’d have to say that I like wordpress the best so far. hanna is right that setup is easy, and WP already has a decent community of supporters and people coding cool plug-ins. The only real weakness for me right now seems to be the lack of multi-blog support, but I suspect that’s in the works.

    OpenCMSs website rocks in general, it’s helped me out quite a bit.

    Aside from WordPress, check out bblog for a very nice up-and-coming open source blogging app.

    Easy to install, nice plug-in architecture for developers.

Four visual registers for imaginaries of machine vision

I’m thrilled to announce another publication from our European Research Council (ERC)-funded research project on Machine Vision: Gabriele de Setaand Anya Shchetvina‘s paper analysing how Chinese AI companies visually present machine vision technologies. They find that the Chinese machine vision imaginary is global, blue and competitive.  […]
