Olfactory Summer Studentship
[Archived in Entry]
[Life, and how to live it!] Anyway, I applied a while ago and managed to get an interview yesterday (after my last exam and before the pubbage). I heard back earlier today and I have been offered the job, it’s a ten week scholarship in the department which pays £240 a week. The main idea is to tag photos with smells, much in the same way that flickr.com uses to tag photos.

[Ross.typepad.com] Ross Mayfield's Weblog: lesblogs: Richard Florida, The Creative Class: anti-establishment, critical thinkers, autonomous action, self-fulfillment, self-expression, sharing collective action, community, learning and openness to innovation. These technologies become adopted through word of mouth. Some cultures adopting faster. Gap between creative and non-creative class is bigger than between countries. Shows the superbowl commercial of kids busted for sharing music. Some people understand this gap and are selling to this creative class. Watch user behavior and create products for it, don't change behavior. Traditional media is trying to force people back into the old model. iPod Shuffle isn't the best specified product, but word of mouth and brand let them make it a success. Even through they have DRM everywhere and are suing bloggers, we believe they are on our side.
[Ross.typepad.com] Ross Mayfield's Weblog: Random Rants: Keyword: My little test with a spammer verified he is plucking "Keyword" to fodder is fake blogs. Intelliseek did learn to filter him out. My guess is he is a SEO trying to pickup clients for keyword optimization. Anyway, I figured better to raise his noise to the level of signal to let real people calibrate their indexes.

[Blog.jonnay.net] Sacrifical Rabbit - Entries tagged as rant: What happens when I just want a photo of me and harmony. I'd obviously find a bunch in family/us/jon+harmony, but how about the ones at the wedding, unless I move them there, but then, what if I want to view the wedding photos? The problem with the date method is obvious If I can only remember the month of the event, and not the year or date, what hope do I have of finding the right picture inside of an hour, especially if my collection is big (and I am prone to loosing my direction, and browsing my photos for long). The issues with the one big shoe box/directory method are obvious.
