"Augie (a creative real estate investor) presented a spam prevention method idea which we’ve been talking about under a previous post this past week: HowTo Eliminate WordPress Trackback Comment And Pingback Spam. The basic idea is to provide an extra input field which is hidden to a user when viewed normally from the browser. This means if you check your form data when a submission is being processed, you can determine if the field is still empty. If it is filled out, then a bot must have auto filled the field." - cyberlabe

"Notre destin nous échappe-t-il donc vraiment ? Pas forcément. La cliodynamique, si elle se révèle efficace, peut nous être utile. Car l’existence de ces cycles nous alerte sur leurs causes sous-jacentes. Une fois qu’on a analysé celles-ci, il devient possible d’en comprendre leurs conséquences – même si celles-ci se produisent “hors cycle” à cause d’une modification imprévue des conditions. Cela permet donc d’agir directement sur l’origine du problème. En ce sens, la cliodynamique peut être considérée comme un outil d’action. Reste à voir si elle possède une réelle valeur et ne finira pas par rejoindre toutes les philosophies de l’histoire précédentes… dans les poubelles de l’Histoire." - cyberlabe

"The purpose of this post is to help explain some of the basic concepts of topic modeling, introduce some topic modeling tools, and point out some other posts on topic modeling. The intended audience is historians, but it will hopefully prove useful to the general reader. Topic modeling is a form of text mining, a way of identifying patterns in a corpus. You take your corpus and run it through a tool which groups words across the corpus into ‘topics’. Miriam Posner has described topic modeling as “a method for finding and tracing clusters of words (called “topics” in shorthand) in large bodies of texts.”" - cyberlabe

It's an RSS reader, RSS aggregator, readability tool, article archiver, microblogger, social graph manager and reading list manager. You can publish all of your feeds into a single social outline(OPML) with it, so that other people can easily subscribe to all of your stuff at once. You can save full text articles into a feed as you read things on the web, then later export them into an OPML file using date ranges and searches." - cyberlabe
