.R />/ `.CoSy
/(/ 1043 / Astoundingly , Friday 020104 , I had another destructive disk
failure on the Sony R505TE I bought July 24 to replace the Z505SX whose
disk failed in June . Pulling apart the -SX to get at the ( Toshiba ) disk
to FedEx it off to Carbondale IL to be retrieved , I broke the clip on the
connector to the touchpad . This error defeated reassembling it with the
IBM 20G drive I dropped near $200 to pointlessly get quick .
I am now up on the Z505SX which Raj Chetiar's brother Vishu just
reassembled and reloaded with Windows 2000 . Vish had the brilliance
to simply plug in a mouse to obviate the touchpad problem .
This is the first time I have ever used a mouse for more than 5 minutes .
It's an interesting experience , but I continue to prefer the old EMACS
aesthetic of never having to move my hands from the keyboard .
This time I just lost material since 011211 , and most of that time I was
accompanying my brother Jack , http://cosy.com/art/jacka/jacka.htm , out
to our sister Joyce and her girls and parrots and big white dogs and horse
out in Colorado Springs . In 28 years , the apron of the Front Range has
has been infected with a continuous rash of human habitation for at least
the 160 kilometers between CS and Boulder where I visited my high school
( http://Culver.org ) adventure bud Gary Neptune
( http://NeptuneMountaineering.com ) and his wife Bibi who met each other
at Everest base camp .
Anyway , I've reconstructed a couple of the few words I defined during the
lost period , and I think they are interesting enough to post .
In any case , that absolutely backs them up .
Work in K.CoSy follows the hierarchical dictionary ~ directory , structure
of the K-tree . For instance ,I have my personal work and accounts in a
Job dictionary named `BobA , and work on Raj and my partnership ,
CoSy_Homes , is in a Job dictionary , `Homes .
So it's very common to be writing and executing , e.g. :
`show $ `BobA
. It's so common that I keep lists of lines to " `show $ " this or that
around in the various Jobs I work in . It's so common that I keep lists
of the most common objects , for instance `.CoSy.BobA.Ref , in which I
keep all my account numbers and passwords , etc , in the f8 Command
window , `.Cmds .
But , one of the aspects of K.CoSy is keeping logs of daily activity ,
For instance , here are my notes in `.CoSy.Boba earlier this morning :
/ 0844 / email / 0936 / Emilio m w Andrea , cb ~ 12 / c> / Raj
. I wanted to be able to display the job containing all my interactions
with Raj with just a keystroke . And I wanted to be able to do it on
names appended to earlier work . Therefore , I created the words below ,
and modified a couple . I've found this mechanism so time saving that
after downloading my last backup of my working c:/CoSy.csd from my
web host , I reconstructed the vocabulary so I could start `BobA
without writing even one redundant " `show $ " .
Here is the vocabulary : ( All of this is executed in the Root : .CoSy ) /)/
text..f9..h : " `show $ `\" name after last comment token in current line\" "
text..f9 : " `show $ . ( .R `lastseg ) _v . _i "
lastseg : { *| tokcut[ C ] C , x }
lastseg..h : " returns section of string after last comment token "
C : " / " ; C..h : " the primary comment symbol "
/ `tokcut is previously defined
tokcut..h
" split string `y at multi char token `x "
/ I also needed to regularize my timestamps to be compatible :
hm : { C , ( -4 # "00" , $ *| ts x ) , C }
hm..h
"current time . hour & minute"
/(/ That's it . It reduces showing an object to writing down its name , eg :
`.CoSy.People.Raj
and tapping f9 . ( Incidentally , I tried f10 , but that seems to be hard
wired to be an alternative "alt" key . )
( Note in the example from my notes above , I have a variable `Raj defined in
`BobA holding `.CoSy.People.Raj . )
Here are a couple of other recent miscellaneous new words :
/)/
KtoM : 1.609344 ; KtoM..h : " Kilometers % Mile "
matchR : { ( .:' x ) ~' .R x }
matchR..h : " do objects in active dictionary match same objects in Root ? "
( .R `matchR ) `text. `r. / Its motivating use .
/ 1311 /
A final thought : Sasha Skomorokov pointed out ( in APL ) that
1 ~ { x ~ | x : 10 _vs x } 2002
which was last true in 1991 and will not be true again for 110 years .
may this symmetry presage a peaceful and productive year .

I just happened to append the following to a business note I was getting out .
--
Happy Independence Day .
What a great idea , Separation of Church & State .
Too bad that phrase "Religious Freedom" which Roosevelt insisted
the Russians accept in the original declaration of United Nations
against Hitlerism , was forgotten by Truman six years later when
the nascent Global Government mandated a Theocracy which has
since been established by US with our taken ( tax ) money
in clear violation of our first amendment .
Imagine the peace if that had not happened .
( Sorry for the Libertarian rant , but this is the day
and the year for it . )

Posted on the C-SPAN Traficant discussion :
Talk about RICCO !
The CLINTONS were revealed criminal conspirators and LIARS on multiple matters .
( See the clips of the C-SPANed testimony of the poor working schmucks in the
Telegraph and Travel Office Hillary so cruelly squashed at
http://cosy.com/views/travlgat.htm . )
Now we have the flip - Destroying any outspoken competent honest individual
with the audacity to defend himself - necessarly revealint the criminal
conspiracy against him .
This is why I and so many others have become a LIBERTARIAN . ( http://lp.org )
Jim Bovard ( http://jimbovard.com ) has documented books full of such abuses .
I sent the following note to Traficant .
To:
I'm a C-SPAN watcher .
Talk about Ricco , the conspiracy against you has clearly been enormous .
We Libertarians have long recognized the encroaching criminalization by
the government of the citizenry for ordinary life .
If the Ohio Libertarian party has guts and sense , you and they should
work together .
I think it would be a further great service to the country if you gave
a plug for the LIBERTARIAN movement ( and party ) in your coming floor
speech .
The growing Libertarian party is the only force around with the potential
to truly scare the existing duopoly .
Thank you for your service to our Constitution .
I trust you shall return .

At the end of World War 2 , when the British empire was being
spun off , the profound wisdom of very first clause in US
Bill of Rights , written 200 years ago by people who knew more
directly the horrors of theocracy and religious wars , The Allied
United Nations sanctioned the creation of the theocracies of Israel
and Pakistan , in particular .
This led to immediate slaughters and dispossessions of millions .
US taken ( tax ) money to any of these countries does not just
violate an abstract notion that " Foreign Aid is Bad " , it
violates the word and wisdom " Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion " .
What difference does it make if the church is here or overseas ?
I continue to predict that balance will only come to Palestine
when Israel does something as horrendous and indefensible as
what was done to my neighborhood . Only then will the extremists
on their side , including Sharon , be straitjacketed .
I'm afraid we're not there yet .

/ 1405 / / 1409 / Software AG XML pioneer -: sell side buy side no side
32 yr 3200 people in 70 co , 600M euro /
NASD 2711 compliance / Context Relevent - know or tag
every doc out to investory - any chain to some beneficial owner
including thru reading email / xml webservice - insert tags .
JP MOrganthall did underlying tek : / 1420 /
looks like Sprano guy - : XML - relate pieces of info .
tye metidata to data in a structured way
XSLT , Query , Schema , Namespaces - scoping , DRF , SOAP
Query next generation SQL operating on XML docs .
RiXML.org : buy - sell side vocabbulare
/ info distribution -
900k "notes" published annually - 10000 docs % day /
barage of info - search engine model rather than portal
financial models .
Web Services (?) grew . web interface to legacy apps .
FSID architecture
SAGe Fin Info Refinery - research , compliance , ditribution engines
RiXML - tag set - lots of bytes .
18 mo recomendation vs price records required .
Tool : Autonomy - context interpretation to XML
Who's using ? - 1st time showing - # of fin institions in stages of acq .
matches firm long short positions to legacy documents .
gaps in info ? - most cases in securities firm have accurate 18 mo ledger

JP Morganthall : SoftwareAG :
DmitriTchikatilov , MS NY :
Jim Bole Infravio , 3 yr old SilVal : webservices - horizontal
across enerprise - management tools - Fin , Health , Hi Tek Mfg
AdamGreissmand UDICo split from Price waterhouse 2 yrs ago
WSDL - knok - slow & insecure . Kenemia - msg switching .
transactions 7Mb in 2 minutes . secure
RiXML not really taken off ?
FIX - more consise , works just fine - faster .
JG : standard vocabulary - web services tek stack . WSDL /
JPM - Rats in sewer moving msgs how get on street above firewall .
fatter that FIX but can get up to new level .
DT : how many use any of this . tranactions over web .
JB : entitalment to med records . wrap all in SAML - XML : sematic
information level - alphabet soup goes on and on -
AG : multiple level of semantic transactions .
Institutinons feel inclined to feel could do better .
over last 20 yrs , has often been true .
Instituions ahead of curve - middle mkt behind .
he most interested in messageing level - secure remote proceedure call
teks are available .
/ in presence of proprietary protocols , hou be secure ? JB : security outsi
AG : HTTP one of least understood protocol .
even SQL get locked to vendor - Sybase , Oracle , DB2 fundamentally
differetn models .
AG : validaton suites for C & C++ facilitated standardisation
JPM stovepipe systems vs interoerability .
web services to make info searchable . speed to mkt .
JB : health care records . exposing java stuf thru std Health care schemas
Data access , Data Managment , pulling & pushing - analysis .
Can addopt XML incrementally .
/ Are there old mistakes which are being redone in this rehashing ?
ES : Keep it Simple - good simplicity to it . driven by experience
connectivity simpler now w ubiquitous LCD on jus part of universal domain .
/ Anly problem w being hierarchacly ? JPM : complementary .
Heir - very good for mngt of very large objects .
XML shredding . Oracle drove hard on Relational .
/ 1554 / summaries :
ES : KIS . get behind symantic standards .
JPM : rats .
DS : KIS
JB : 3 app teks mentioned . define symantics , incremental .
AG : all kinds of ways to wrap info . XML just particularly simple .
