Neddick

As always hacking on Quoddy[1] and Neddick[2]. Beyond that, I've been dabbling with a number of new languages, tools, libraries, etc. See [3] for all the details. The tl/dr; though, is this - working my way through Machine Learning for Hackers and Practical Common Lisp, and starting on an AI bot[4] to give me a playground to mess with AI and Machine Learning techniques. Right now it's just AIML[5] and doesn't do a whole heck of a lot, but I just started on this a couple of days ago. Right now it can chat over XMPP and basically say "hello" and give you the current time.

> The name "Eddystone" might sound a little weird, but Google says it's named after the Eddystone Lighthouse in the UK Damnit Google! Naming things after light-houses is our "thing"![1][2][3][4] :-) All joking aside this sounds like a pretty cool project. And anything that helps keep as much IoT infrastructure open-source as possible, is a Good Thing in our book. I'm actually really hoping this catches on and displaces iBeacon as much as possible.

One of the truly powerful services, I will really miss. Mrs. Meyer squeezes out things at Y! like a lemon.

We're working on something that covers a lot of the same ground, although it's not exactly the same thing. It's also not very polished right now, but we definitely hope to get to that level eventually. It's all open source, Apache Licensed, and built using Grails. We don't have YQL, but we extract entities from the content and store it in a triplestore that can be queried using SPARQL, and eventually the SPARQL support will be woven more completely through things. https://github.com/fogbeam/Neddick

One of our open source projects[1], lets you consume RSS, Email, and Tweets, with more "stuff" coming, and apply filters and set triggers, etc. It's still pretty raw, and we don't have the really awesome visual interface for laying things out, but that sort of thing is something we hope to get to eventually. One other neat thing we do is pipe content through Apache Stanbol to do semantic entity extraction, and build up a knowledgebase as content is consumed. [1]: https://github.com/fogbeam/Neddick/
