I’ve just read Information Retrieval: Algorithms and Heuristics and it’s a great introduction to technics and problems encountered in the field. It didn’t make me an expert, but I can fake one at parties. If you have time and interest, I certainly recommend getting a copy.

I missed one thing. I’ve been thinking and reading about search engines for a while now, as time permits, and the underlying premise of all (known to me) seems to be to find a document that answers your query. What happens if such document doesn’t exist, but the answer can be constructed from multiple sources?

I know this problem has been explored, but being a layman I would welcome at least few pages that described what has been done so far and where to look for more information. Any recommendation for a book or a website that addresses this topic is most welcome.

Does anyone know of a python module or unix command line tool for transforming Adobe RGB color space profile to sRGB?

Either my assumption, that you can get anything you need on the internet, is wrong or I’ve been looking at wrong places.

Has anyone succeeded in getting a flash file to execute inside of (any) WYSIWYG in-browser editor?

It doesn’t work for me and I can think of at least one reason why it shouldn’t (security leak), but has anyone done it anyway?
