create Calagator::Event 1250457907 Refresh Portland October: Online Video For Everybody by Andy Beach Roll back

description nil → Online Video: everybody’s doing it these days, but are they doing it right? Probably not. Creating high quality video content for the web is not quite as simple as whipping out your Flip HD, then uploading to YouTube. That said, it’s a lot easier than most people know (and doesn’t require a two-hour uploading annoyance). We should all be putting more videos online, after all it’s the fastest growing and most popular communication vehicle on the web, but there are better ways to do it. This October, learn a few trade secrets and tips from Andy Beach, a seasoned video compressionist, and use faster, easier and more efficient ways to post better looking videos than all your friends. Andy is the author of Real World Video Compression and oversees all aspects of marking at product management at Elemental Technologies. His vast knowledge of video post-production, compression and interactive design has attracted clients worldwide, including: Microsoft, Major League Baseball, Apple, INC and Adobe Systems, INC.

create Calagator::Event 1250457906 pdx.st -- Portland Smalltalk Users Group Roll back

description nil → Small talk about all things Smalltalk, the language that started it all and is still incredibly fun to work with. This month Martin McClure (with help from Andres Valloud) will talk about hashed collection performance in Pharo. This has been found to be rather bad for many collections, and Martin and Andres have written simple changes that deliver 2-3 orders of magnitude improvement. The building doors are locked; a number to call to be let in will be posted on the front door. pdx.st meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month. If you have a presentation you'd like to give, or one you'd like to see, post to the list (see website URL).

There are sweet-spots in the iPhone market that will sustain, on a continual basis small, developer run, 1-3 person iPhone companies. This is a talk about identifying those market opportunities.   This talk is about capitalizing on them in a way that plays to our strengths and mitigates our weaknesses.  This talk is about the choices we make when we start our own developer run iPhone businesses.  Topics include: * Choosing the type of business: are your customers iPhone consumers, companies that need iPhone apps, or other iPhone developers? * Data-informed app price and product-category strategy. * Marketing from code. * Contract wages and the $10,000 problem. <b>About Dan Grigsby</b> Dan runs <a href="http://www.mobileorchard.com/">Mobile Orchard</a>, the #1 iPhone development podcast and community site.  As the rare programmer/business type guy, he's as happy running marketing hacks as he is hacking iPhone code.  He's happiest giving talks that incorporate elements of both, so speaking about developer-run iPhone businesses is pretty much the rapture.  Previously, Dan founded/ran startups, including one that was acquired by Microsoft and another that was the only-ever successful competitor to PayPal.

description nil → <b>Note: We've moved the November meeting from its normal date to accommodate Dan's travel schedule.</b> As developers, we bring a certain set of skills, biases and preferences to business.  These act as a double edged sword; we make great business people when we play to our strengths; we fail when we try to be something we're not. There are sweet-spots in the iPhone market that will sustain, on a continual basis small, developer run, 1-3 person iPhone companies. This is a talk about identifying those market opportunities.   This talk is about capitalizing on them in a way that plays to our strengths and mitigates our weaknesses.  This talk is about the choices we make when we start our own developer run iPhone businesses.  Topics include: * Choosing the type of business: are your customers iPhone consumers, companies that need iPhone apps, or other iPhone developers? * Data-informed app price and product-category strategy. * Marketing from code. * Contract wages and the $10,000 problem. <b>About Dan Grigsby</b> Dan runs <a href="http://www.mobileorchard.com/">Mobile Orchard</a>, the #1 iPhone development podcast and community site.  As the rare programmer/business type guy, he's as happy running marketing hacks as he is hacking iPhone code.  He's happiest giving talks that incorporate elements of both, so speaking about developer-run iPhone businesses is pretty much the rapture.  Previously, Dan founded/ran startups, including one that was acquired by Microsoft and another that was the only-ever successful competitor to PayPal. Dan is visiting Portland to teach a <a href="http://www.mobileorchard.com/iphone-programming-training-class/">two-day Beginning iPhone Development class</a>.

create Calagator::Event 1250457896 PSU CS Colloquium: Chaos in Computer Science Roll back

description nil → CS conference room, FAB 086-01 Abstract: Although it is not necessarily the view taken by those who design them, modern computers are deterministic nonlinear dynamical systems, and it is both interesting and useful to treat them as such. In this talk, I will describe a nonlinear dynamics-based framework for modeling and analyzing computer systems. Using this framework, together with a custom measurement infrastructure, we have found strong indications of low-dimensional dynamics in the performance of a simple program running on a popular Intel microprocessor—including the first experimental evidence of chaotic dynamics in real computer hardware. These dynamics change completely when we run the same program on a different Intel microprocessor, or when we change that program slightly. All of this raises important issues about computer analysis and design. These engineered systems have grown so complex as to defy the analysis tools that are typically used by their designers: tools that assume linearity and stochasticity, and essentially ignore dynamics. The ideas and methods developed by the nonlinear dynamics community are a much better way to study, understand, and (ultimately) design modern computer systems. This is joint work with Amer Diwan and Todd Mytkowicz.
