While looking into Plone I wanted to get a development environment up quickly. Searching the webs revealed a few sites which described the process on Dapper. Applying those tutorials failed because of a few package changes.

Here are the commands to get things up and running:

sudo aptitude install zope2.9

sudo aptitude install plone-site

This will ask you for some admin settings and then start the Zope server.

The default port is 8081, so you can float on over to http://localhost:8081/

I have found an interest in HTMs or “Hierarchical Temporal Memorys”. Jeff Hawkins, the creator of Palm Inc. and Handspring has started a community around this technology. The aim is to allow computers to learn the same way that the brain does, through patterns in hierarchy and time.

Currently, I’m reading Hierarchical Temporal Memory: Concepts, Theory and Terminology

Robert, from work, thought of a good use for this technology.

Monitoring live web access logs for our servers at work to see if a site has been hacked or we are receiving a DOS attack.

This is a fairly encompassing idea, but I think that HTMs will be able to accomplish it easily.

Welcome. A change, for the better, I hope.
