SAFE Crossroads #48, A Reintroduction and Update on the SAFE Network, with Dug Campbell
December 12th, 2018 by fergish I've been wanting to do an overview of the SAFE Network for some time, as a sort of new introduction, an update on where the project has currently gotten to, and a view of what's ahead.
Dug Campbell from MaidSafe helps me try to accomplish this, because I found it really hard to do by myself! Dug has gained a lot of experience talking about the SAFE Network with a wide variety of different people in varying circumstances. He also, being based there in MaidSafe headquarters, has continual acc...

Technology & Choice #40, Ayurveda Technology, with Vaidya Lokesh Rathuri
December 5th, 2018 by fergish Ayurveda is a practice for maintaining and restoring health with origins dating back 10,000 years. It has been practiced consistently since. Might there be something to learn here? Might it offer choices for health and healing which are not available in the modes and institutions which most of us are used to?
I recently had the privilege of meeting and interviewing a Vaidya (practitioner/doctor) of Ayurveda, Lokesh Rathuri. He presents the basic understandings on which Ayurveda is built, in a...

SAFE Crossroads #47, Resource Description Framework, SOLID and SAFE
November 28th, 2018 by fergish Simpleton says, "We go a bit geeky on this one, but in a way that should be very accessible to most anyone."
Our guests on this episode are Josh Wilson and Gabriel Viganotti. Both are front-end developers for MaidSafe, working with Resource Description Framework (RDF) in a number of forms, to enhance the uses of the SAFE Network.
We really get down to what RDF is, how it relates to Linked Data and the Socially Linked Data (SOLID) project, and other use cases that are creating a real revolu...

SAFE Crossroads #46, Connection Needs of an Autonomous Network, with Spandan Sharma
November 14th, 2018 by fergish Our guest today is Spandan Sharma from MaidSafe. We go over the results of the second community testing of Crust, the automated peer-to-peer connection library being developed by MaidSafe for the SAFE Network, and available for open source use by other P2P projects as they find useful.
In looking at all that the upper network layer needs the Crust connection level to do, we get a peek at the Routing level, which is the heart of the SAFE Network structure.
Enjoy.

Technology & Choice #38, The Mid-Terms Through the Looking Glass
November 7th, 2018 by fergish A rather historical event in the United States gives us an interesting opportunity to examine a bunch important dynamics through the lens (or "Looking Glass") of Technology and Choice as a tool.
There may never have been a time, not only in the United States but the rest of the world, when we have been so connected and yet so polarized at the same time. Whether you hold to the old Chinese curse ("May you live in Interesting Times") or not, there is no question that we do live in interesting t...

SAFE Crossroads #45, Approaches to Alpha 3, with Nikita Baksalyar
October 30th, 2018 by fergish In this episode we catch up on some of the things that have been going on in SAFE Network development, where it's been and what's coming down the line now, including the roll out of public testing of the automated peer-to-peer connection library, Crust (standing for "Connected" "Rust").
How do you ensure all the nodes of an ever-morphing P2P network get and stay connected, even past firewalls and routers? How do you do it when most nodes are being run by non-technical people using their spare...

Technology & Choice #37, What is the Semantic Web? with Jonas Smedegaard
October 24th, 2018 by fergish Semantics has to do with meaning. What if we could tie information together on the web by meaning, rather than by webpage?
In this conversation we find out a bit about how this is beginning to be achieved, and how it is creating vast new horizons for how the internet will soon be used.

Technology & Choice #36, Creator and Created, a Converstation
September 4th, 2018 by fergish right click here and select "save link as" to download
As the creator of something, do you give it life? As a fiction writer, does a story acquire a life of its own? As a software programmer, do you sometimes feel that what you're creating has something to teach you? Is your creation of any sort just something you do and have done, or do you nurture it and query it about what it needs to succeed?
