WordPress Just Made Millions of Blogs Real-Time With RSS Cloud
Posted by Charlie in Education, Management on September 7th, 2009
ll blogs on the WordPress.com platform and any WordPress.org blogs that opt-in will now make instant updates available to any RSS readers subscribed to a new feature called RSS Cloud. There is currently only one RSS aggregator that supports RSS Cloud, Dave Winer’s brand-new reader River2. That will probably change very soon.
RSS Cloud is an element that’s always been present in the RSS 2.0 spec but has drawn new attention with the rise of interest in the Real Time Web. The element was just added to the WordPress code this afternoon. The implications of this big vote of support go beyond reading WordPress blogs; this is the kind of traction that new technologies can leverage to gain support in many different applications.

Presentation on NCSLI RP-5
Posted by Charlie in Calibration, Education, Management, Metrology, Quality Management Systems on August 26th, 2009
For the Metrology Webinar, the morning of 8/26/09, As committee chair, I presented an NCSLI 155.1 Committee Report on Recommended Practice for Measuring and Test Equipment Specification (RP-5). The attendee’s discussed the EU standard entitled “Technical Schedule for Measuring Equipment, the AFNOR FD X 07 025 Guidelines, and how it should be addressed and referenced in RP-5. The recommendation is that AFNOR FD X 07 025 be place in a separate Appendix for reference.
The current status is:
- We now have a complete and comprehensive initial draft (154 pages) from which to start our editorial review.
- The comprehensive draft of RP-5 was presented at the 155.1 Committee Meeting on Monday, Jul 27, 2009 at the NCSL International Conference in San Antonio, TX.
- Incorporate the recommended changes form the table review in San Antonio. Second editorial pass on the comprehensive draft document during September 2009
- First pass editorial review by the entire committee (Members) starting the end of September 2009
- Public review for editorial comments in October -November 2009
- Final committee proof and review December 2009
- Currently scheduled for the proper vetting of RP-5 to the NCSLI Board of Director s for their meeting of January 2010
The underlying goal is to harmonize RP-5 with NCSLI RP-1; Calibration Intervals and NCSLI RP-12; Measurement Uncertainties using the same instrument examples and data.
Public review and comment copy is expected to be available in October 2009. Contact me for an Adobe .pdf file to be sent when RP-5 is available for public comment.

Web 2.0 Panel
Posted by Charlie in Education, Leadership, Management on July 29th, 2009
#NCSLI Participating via on-line as a panel member for the NCSL International Symposium Web 2.0 Panel Session 10A on Thursday (7/30/09) at 10:45am in Room 101 (CC), Grand Hyatt, San Antonio, TX.
This should be an interesting panel that will examine how to move NCSLI into the the new social media community to build new relationships and engage the world around us. To do this we need to discover the essence of social networking as it relates to metrology. These are very interesting times.
