Design Intelligence http://www.sentientdesign.co.uk http://www.sentientdesign.co.uk/arxiv/2007/02/08/MessyCode.php I've been spending a lot of time since the new year doing a 'spring clean' of some of the code I've written. What always surprises me (although perhaps it shouldn't) is that within a relatively short time of writing a piece of code I can revisit it a... 2007-02-08 15:10:31 http://www.sentientdesign.co.uk/arxiv/2007/01/26/LifeContinues.php As per usual I've not been able to keep up this 'blogging' business on a regular basis. However much I'd like to be able to write insightful and imaginative blog posts the simple fact is that, regardless of what else I've got to do, I never actual... 2007-01-26 02:50:53 http://www.sentientdesign.co.uk/arxiv/2006/09/11/GeneticAlgorithms-PartII.php Following on from my introduction to the theory of Genetic Algorithms I will now discuss a very simple implementation of a GA written in PHP. While PHP is not a language one would ordinarily associate with Artificial Intelligence it is ve... 2006-09-11 02:19:29 http://www.sentientdesign.co.uk/arxiv/2006/09/10/GeneticAlgorithms-PartI.php Genetic algorithms (or GAs) are an Artificial Intelligence technique based upon the standard model of genetics and evolution. They are part of the growing field of Evolutionary Algorithms that have been found to be very effective at 'gene... 2006-09-10 19:28:35 http://www.sentientdesign.co.uk/arxiv/2006/09/10/StumbleUponAuto-CodeGenerator.php I've recently finished coding another utility for those in the StumbleUpon community. The Auto-Code Bookmarklet Generator will allow a user to easily specify a customised CSS layout template that can then be pasted into any StumbleUpon review, PM, fo... 2006-09-10 14:37:30 http://www.sentientdesign.co.uk/arxiv/2006/08/25/StableAJAX.php I've been trying to get a few bugs iron out of this site in the last 24hrs but it just doesn't seem to be working. I've been using the Dojo AJAX Toolkit to add comment boxes and tabs to parts of the site and, although they're good in many respects, i... 2006-08-25 09:48:44 http://www.sentientdesign.co.uk/arxiv/2006/08/24/WebSiteStory.php That has to be the most unoriginal headline ever devised - but I don't have the energy required to be original right now.I've been able to put off adding actual content to this site for some time by instead considering the best way to manage it (when... 2006-08-24 07:35:04 http://www.sentientdesign.co.uk/arxiv/2006/07/10/StumbleModCSSDesign.php I've added a subdomain to the site especially for all those in the StumbleUpon community with a particular interest in CSS design. The StumbleMod CSS Design page is a place where SU users can experiment with alternative CSS designs for the standard S... 2006-07-10 01:34:11 http://www.sentientdesign.co.uk/arxiv/2006/06/24/GoogleUpsandDowns.php I've been signed up to Google's Sitemaps since I first started this site about four months ago. While I recognise that Sitemaps is still in beta I've found it to be the least useful of Googles innovations. It is a worthwhile(ish) idea but it's not cu... 2006-06-24 08:03:37 http://www.sentientdesign.co.uk/arxiv/2006/05/17/TheTroubleWithA.I.-PartII.php Not Altering Public Perception   Although the public perception of A.I. is based on science fiction rather than reality on one level it is correct - machines WILL take over the world. It's no good trying to convince people otherwise when t... 2006-05-17 14:55:16
