Studying (full/part time since 1996) Computer Science (AI/Cognitive Sciences) [http://www.lith.liu.se/en/programmes/computerscience.html] at Linköping Institute of Technology, Linguistics [http://www.liu.se/isk/asv/asvhome.html] at Linköping University and since 2000 Computational Linguistics [http://www.cling.gu.se] at Göteborg University. gpl @ nakawe.se veronical - Tcl'ers chat [http://mini.net/cgi-bin/chat.cgi] mindtrader - sourceforge [http://sourceforge.net] and savannah [http://savannah.gnu.org] A short note. I hold a strong personal belief in the GNU philosophy, but I would like to stress that I have the deepest respect for anyone choosing the OSI philosophy for themselfs. The biggest obstacle to open source today is in my opinion the communication problems that keep arising between gnu and osi developers. ---- '''Tcl:''' - Tklib [http://tcllib.sf.net] I will start putting in some time into this shortly. - Mimers brunn [http://mimersbrunn.sf.net] Tools for translation and encodings. Will be updated... - UIE - User Interface Engine [http://nakawe.sf.net] A software architecture designed to provide a generic interface between different programming languages. ''see also a slightly orphaned page [High level widgets]'' The paper I presented at Tcl-2003E is available from their pages at [http://www.t-ide.com/2003/veronica_paper.html]. Due to some technical problems (having to do with winXP automatically converting my stringvariable back to ASCII OEM after I implicitly converted it to ascii ANSI) at a clients site, finally giving me a reason to install w2k on the jäkla computer, I didn't have time to finalize my example application. I will put it up at SF when it's done, and I'll also put up the graphics I used for my presentation as soon as I have had a chance to work on them a little bit. This will most probably not be for another 2 weeks at least. - [VL] 2003-06-03 ---- I keep seeing references to project Gutenberg, so I thought it was best that I put a link here to project Runeberg [http://www.lysator.liu.se/runeberg/]... ---- '''Work:''' Nakawe data [http://www.nakawe.se] (at the moment in Swedish only) Computer Aided Administration - helping small businesses make better use of computers for their administrative needs.

Seriously, it would seem that in the patenting software issue a main point could be how one can determine who has intellectual property rights to certain code and circuits. For circuits, it is possible I'd say to come up with technical things which are reasonable to patent, which in software would seem not to happen all too often. I remember having to sign of my rights to worktime inventions to my employer when I worked for delft university paid by secondary sources. So can I now redo the work I did under some no-good project leader and do it right? Of course, but suppose I would have given them the good stuff on the project, and they would steal the patent(s) (as they stole much credit whichis more practical problem than that that raises emotions). A good patent office would require a very thorough description, also technical, which rules out much bladibla stuff. ---- [Category Person]
