Six months come to an end and sux0r 2.0 is here. Like a zen budhist sand painting what was once finished starts again. 

Hopefully, this is the groundwork for "distributed blogging." Naive Bayesian is like a fuzzy logic tagging system. One day sux0r will hopefully allow several nodes to act as a social network without having to consolidate into a single provider; whereas Naive Bayesian content filtering will allow for intelligent partitioning of information.

For now, I need to take a few days to hype / decompress. I'm not even sure if my description of the project is coherent. I'm on my way out the door to check out a Blake Market DJ set at Edgar's Hypertaverne and drink a few pints.

I'm running this off a $9.99 / month shared webserver so please have patience if things are slow. Or better yet download and install sux0r on your machine. Contributions and feedback welcome.

Nodes, Nodes, Nodes by conner_bw on 2008-09-30 07:19:42

Yeah, a node is a sux0r instance.

This is a medium to long term pipe dream, but think of a "node" as a blog. This blog can be an individual, or a group of likeminded individuals. This node is self-governing / self-reliant.

Think of Facebook as a "social network". Facebook is fun and convenient. This is good. Facebook is centralized and competing against similar services for your serfdom. This is questionable.  

Think about "parallel refactoring" as a personal blog. The blog is about a three legged cat named mittens and the inspiration this cat gives people when that person takes it to the hospital as part of their weekly volunteering. Within that blog there is a link to a cat food store in my region. I’m looking for a cat food store. Show me the link, not the blog.  
 
Think of "information exchange" like a BBS running Frontdoor back in the days of Fidonet. 

Currently there's the OpenMicroBlogging initiative that I'm keeping an eye on, but for now sux0r is a CMS with neat-o Bayesian Filtering.

I'm less interesting in "pushing" information, more interested in "intelligent pulling." I mean if the information is public, a fuzzy logic probabilistic paradigm can get the info regardless of permission. Do you really need someone's authentication to read something already in the public domain?

I'm not even sure if my description of the project is coherent.

I can say with great certainty that it is not coherent. :) I'll take Evan's word for it that it is interesting, though.
