HEAD'S UP: Original art from today's strip and last week's kiss will run sometime next week! Probably starting Tuesday or Wednesday!
When I first started the strip I decided nobody should have last names in the core group (except for Sam, whose name is a parody, and I thought I told the Defenders about this but can't find it in the compendium! I'll at least mention it in the blog.). It's lead to some awkward moments in the strip where a last name would be appropriate, but hey, Rules is rules. No more. As of today, Zoë's last name is officially Bean. If my characters having last names isn't a sign of the apocalypse, I don't know what is. By the way, we don't know what Riff's last name is just yet.
A friend of mine recently said to me, "You know, Pete, when you start introducing world-creation-mythology, you're probably in the third act." I have to agree.
I'm not sure where acts 1 and 2 would break down. In fact, I'd probably need to break it down into more like 65 acts. But clearly we're on the way. So far in this chapter we've had the introduction of Riff's dad, possible origins of Bun-bun, and as Torg put it, "...the pyramid, the necklace, Mohkadun, The Book of E-Ville, Gwynn's powers and Kizke-the-Bug-Demon are all connected!"
But don't break out the farewell-tissues to blot your tears just yet! I'm heading down this 'Act 3' road as directly as possible. But I know with my pace and what's going to transpire, Sluggy Freelance still has years to go.
The downside is there is an unaccessiblility to new readers with such a large archive of required reading. I wouldn't have it any other way, yet the lack of new readership and the fact that the store is down is hurting me financially in a significant way. So please, if my strip is giving you a worthy amount of enjoyment, please consider being a Defender! Help me journey with you down the road of Act 3. And thanks for your support! I give back everything I can.
Side note (since I brought up the store) : Most of my week off (the 20th to the 27th) is going to be dedicated to working out the issues with the old store. Not saying I'll have a new store open when I get back but I need to do this groundwork first. It's definitely going to be a working vacation.
I hate that title of the current section: 'A Father's Tears.'
I fought over many possible titles as the deadline approached for last Monday's comic. I settled on 'A Father's Tears' because I thought that was one plotpoint that I'd reach before jumping point-of-view in the next section.
What I don't like about 'A Father's Tears' is it's made me feel like this section is wanting to be sad and dramatic when it's more 'getting the gang together and sorting some things out'. And I have a few options where I might jump P-O-V before the 'Father's Tears' plot point comes into play.
So what I'm saying is the title of this section of Chapter 65 (Mohkadun part III) WILL change, I'm just not 100% sure to what yet. When I am I'll…. *sigh*… add this to the entries of errata below.
Ever since the events of the story bROKEN we've been kinda on one highway of Sluggy Feelance, one that's been running through it since the beginning. Starting with March 11th, we've switched to the OTHER highway that's been running through Sluggy Freelance from the beginning. And I've got to be honest. Despite keeping so much of this stuff in my head, I had to spend a few days doing a lot of reminder-research on characters and events to make sure I don't get something wrong. Well I already did on March 15th! So since I'm anticipating more of these coming despite my best efforts I've decide for this entire chapter I'll keep a running list of them and see how that works out.
March 15th, 2013:
Original Panel: When writing this, I didn't have any reference to Riff and Zoë's funeral save for this comic and this comic. So the qustion was 'how would Crystal have been involved with Zoë and/or Riff's funeral.' I shrugged and kept it light and vague, suggesting she at least attended Riff's wake. |
The Oopsie: Here on December 23rd, 2010 I indicated that Crystal had no idea Riff and Zoe were presumed dead. I then realized my original train of thought. The funerals were run by the family of Riff and Zoë. And Gwynn is barely a friend for Crystal's. It would have been Torg's place to notify people like Crystal of the events. And since he believed them to not be dead, he wouldn't have bothered her with a faux-funeral. He would just maintain that they were away. |
So here's the corrected comic panel that is live now: |
March 19th-21st, 2013:
Original panel (first of several instances): I had to rush the 'Symbols of the Acknowledgement' out the door to make deadline. This is what happens when you charge ahead before you are 100% ready! but the midnight deadline is a tough mistress. |
The Retcon: I knew I wanted that leftmost symbol to belong to the God of Justice, Lord Symachus. I wanted to do scales as his symbol, and once I had time to do some legwork I found that the 'scales of justice' imagery goes back a pretty damn long way! (And yes, I know the scale side triangles are inverted, but it doesn't really bother me). |
The Fix: So here's the corrected panel with the Acknowledgement bearing the proper symbol for Lord Symachus. I think I've corrected it everywhere else. |
April 9th, 2013:
Original Panel: The problem is in the caption of panel one: "Several Years Ago...". So I originally wrote in the script the caption "A Couple of Years Ago..." and went about a few incarnations of the script in different files. I finished up the script and the comic, and at the very last minute I realized I had forgot the caption. So I manually added "Several Years Ago". |
The Oopsie: I knew these events took place soon after the story titled The Proof (as well as, of course, bRoken). Those were both 2009, almost 4 years ago. But I had forgotten that I had tightened the timeline compared to 'real time' and had the events of bRoken occur closer to just over two years ago. Thus referring to it as "Several years ago" is just inappropriate. |
The Fix: So I decided I'm calling it "Two Years Ago..." and I'm hoping that's clear enough that the events are after bRoken and The Proof. |
Let's hope that's it for the errata section of Chapter 65!

Please be more detailed when you say "Load Balancing"
Traditional load balancing is not 100% applicable in this case; other aspects become more important if your target is 100% fault tolerant streaming delivery system.
Traditional load balancing applies to server resources load, such as CPU and memory.
However you can notice that Media Server, receiving live feeds from other remote computers, does not consume much CPU.
Even with hundreeds of concurrent unicast clients, the server CPU remains quite low - refer to performance chart at the bottom of
If you still want to employ load balancing, then you will need to do it yourself - for example your web app can ask 3 Media Server computers - what is your current load? and then compose the web page that calls UseMediaServer(serverIP) metod of ActiveX control, where serverIP will be the IP of Media Server which is less busy than others.
More important aspect here is availability of your Media Server and bandwidth: make sure your Media Server computer's internet connection is reliable - may be redundant with 2 Nics; if ActiveX fails to connect to the first IP address, handle the error yourself and connect to second IP address.
Bandwidth - use multicast and/or delegate live broadcasts when you can,
minimize traffic over low-bandwidth network segments.

I was thinking in terms of bandwidth allocation. However I can't see how to sync the live feeds with the streams. Ideally I would like to have the live feeds connect to ONE IP address, but have each stream available on mutliple computers, so clients can connect based on a bandwidth allocation algorithm, and can see ANY stream no matter which computer they get handed off to.
Is that possible?

I am not sure I understand you 100%, but I will try to answer:
Suppose you have a web-based apllication.
The client side displays the ActiveX control which plays live feed.
You have Web Server and Media Server running on computer S1.
You have 3 Live Servers (S2, S3, S4) having identical choice of live feeds.
What can you do to load balance bandwidth between S1 and S2/S3/S4?
You can do a lot and acheive perfect balance; but first of all you need to understand that there is only one stream per live source flowing between Media Server and Live Server, independently of number of active viewers.
For example, if you have 10 unicast viewers of live source L1 set up on computer S2, then there is only one stream between Media Server S1 and Live Server S2. Of course, S1 sends 10 unicast streams to these 10 viewers.
OK, now let's suppose you have 3 identical live sources L1, L2, L3 set up on each one of Live computers S2, S3, S4.
You can create 9 live broadcasts with Media Server config.
Our SDK component AutoServerConfig has a method that returns all existing Live Server connections.
On the server side of your web app you call this method and return web page that uses appropriate Alias according to your current bandwidth situation.
Example - let's say first user connects and asks for L1.
You call the method, no Live Connections exist yet (or they are idle) - you decide to return Alias S2L1 ( client side scripting UseLiveAlias(S2L1) )
Now second user connects and asks for L2. You call the method, notice that there is already streaming connection to S2, so you return Alias S3L2.
As a result, you have L1 deliverd from S2 and L2 delivered from S3.
I hope this helps.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of duplicating your S1 Media server into S1a, S1b, and S1c.
There are many different live feeds, and only one live server per feed (at or near the video source.) So the picture looks like so:
vid src --(1)-->live server (x1) --- x1--->??--> media server (x3) ---(many)-->
duplicated for many video sources and live servers.
Do I understand this correctly?
What I want to have happen is that where the question marks are, to somehow have ALL the live server feeds available on ANY media server, so that when a viewer connects to the media server, they could get connected to ANY server, but still see the feed they want.

I think I kind of answered that in my first answer.
You want to have many Media Servers. OK, why not.
Many Media Servers can connect to the same Live Server at the same time - that's the key to your question.
So suppose you have 3 Media Servers S1, S2 and S3.
and you have 3 Live Servers L1 L2 and L3.
On each one of S1, S2 and S3 you create 3 Static Live Broadcasts.
Now, on the server side of your web app, you return either S1, S2, or S3 address based on your own preference and the client side scripting on the user computer will call UseMediaServer(Sx), thus connecting to whatever Media Server you have chosen.

Yes, you sort of answered it, but what I wasn't sure of was your second statement above, which should make possible what I want to do.
Thank you.

DeeJayPortal has seen a sneak preview of Virtual DJ 8, which we can confirm has had an extensive rewrite and comes with a massive list of new features including audio/video timeline DJing, vastly improved sample decks, far easier mapping, auto audio configuration, and completely new effects.
As well as the headline features in the alpha version we saw, there are improvements to windows and window resizing including for video, editable EQ bands, multi-field search, and a host of advanced configuration options that were previously only available by editing your registry – and it's only "60% finished" with many more features yet to make it into the software.
Product overview
MixVibes' U-MIX CONTROL PRO is a DJ package including CROSS DJ software and an external MIDI DJ controller with an internal sound interface. This is the perfect package for DJs seeking a compact, professional DJ solution, which makes no compromise on the design and quality.
Newly released at this year NAMM: the Numark 4Trak DJ Controller is the latest in a long line of consistently high quality DJ products from Numark. Further developing the technology found in the 'NS' range of controllers, the 4Trak is primarily designed to control Native Instruments Traktor DJ software. The main features of this model are the ability to control four 'decks' and precisely and easily control FX. It also includes a built-in audio interface with balanced outputs and a 'gig proof' robust design; the 4Trak controller is therefore, a professional setup for Traktor users.
Pioneer has announced the Remix Station RMX-1000, a brand new external effects device designed to act as a live remixing and sampling unit in a DJ setup. Three's no doubt that Pioneer has seen the success of software-based effects controllers like the Kontrol X1 and seen an opportunity to make a standalone unit that fits into the modern DJ workflow. Is it ready for primetime, and will the price match the feature set? Read on to find out and watch the star-studded promo video.
It's very іmрοrtаnt to point out here that above everything еƖѕе, headphone сhοісе is extremely subjective and down to personal preference. Thе headphones I love, mау not necessarily be the best ones for уου. Hοwеνеr, there are a few things that all good headphones need to have in common.Sound Quality: Fοr obvious reasons, you need your headphones to sound good, especially when reproducing highs and lows as this is what will greatly аѕѕіѕt you with your beat matching.
Pioneer has signalled its intention to take on the rest of the digital DJing market hard this Christmas by teasing a brand new two-channel controller, as this new video reveals.
The controller was first leaked by Pioneer Japan this week via their Twitter account, and as can be seen clearly in the video, is a direct shot across the bows of the Traktor Kontrol S2.
This guy called Kongsted has been playing in Denmark for ages, but just recently started producing.. he's got that vibe which makes your dancefloor bounce to the beat and freak out.. it's amazing, check his other videos on youtube:
This my last DJ set enjoy. If you like, you can download it on my fan page:

It's worth looking to see if any of the large oval rubber bungs are missing under the car, there are occasional reports of the vacant hole picking up water splash and soaking the KESSY unit under the carpet. There are other sources of water ingress that can do this too, suggest you search the forum for "water carpet" using the search link on the Phaeton index page. The top surface of the carpet remains dry.
If you are unlucky enough to have this problem, get it fixed pronto as there are much worse symptoms possible.
There's another thread relating to the repair of a small fault in the KESSY unit, where a power regulator transistor fails.
An aged left battery is capable of giving this (and many more) symptoms.
It's unlikely to be as simple as the fob batteries because the 2nd part of the security system that releases the door locks uses a passive (non-battery) chip.
Manually unlocking the door with the key will sound the alarm after a short delay if the engine isn't started, so that might not be a fault symptom.
Hopefully someone else will chime in. But a VCDS or dealer scan would be really (really) useful.

NEWARK, N.J. —While the May 1 deadline for homoweners, renters and businesses to receive disaster assistance for physical damages caused by Hurricane Sandy has passed, the the U.S. Small Business Administration is encouraging businesses to think about applying for Economic Injury Disaster Loans from the SBA..
"Local businesses who have suffered substantial economic injury may be eligible for an SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan," said SBA'sNew Jersey District Director Al Titone. "When we talk about substantial economic injury, we're tallking about a business that is unable to meet its obligations and to pay its ordinary and necessary operating expenses. Economic Injury Disaster Loans provide the necessary working capital to help small businesses survive until normal operations resume after a disaster."
According to Titone, the SBA can provide up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses that could have been met had the disaster not occurred. The loan amount will be based on a firm's actual economic injury and its financial needs, regardless of whether the business suffered any property damage.
The interest rate on EIDLs will not exceed 4 percent per year. The term of these loans will not exceed 30 years. The repayment term will be determined by a firm's ability to repay the loan. EIDL assistance is available only to small businesses when SBA determines they are unable to obtain credit elsewhere.
New Jersey business owners have until July 31 to complete and return their SBA Eonomic Injury Disaster Loan. applications. The best way to initiate the process is to apply online at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/ or to visit http://www.sba.gov/sandy."
According to Titone, small business owners with questions about SBA's Economic Injury Disaster Loan, should call SBA's Office of Disaster Assistance Customer Service Center at 1-800-659-2955, (for the deaf TTY 1-800-877-8339) or by sending an email to email@example.com
"So far, the SBA has approved over 11,800 disaster loans to New Jersey homeowners, renters and businesses for a total of $765 million," said Titone. " I encourage businesses who may have suffered ecomic injury to apply for this loan as soon as possible."
The filing deadline to return SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan applications is July 31, 2013.

Testimonials - Guest Rooms & Suites
"We had a great time! Best Western Premier Eden Resort accommodations were the best. Grandson enjoyed the pool and thanks to our upgrade our room opened to the pool which was really perfect. The Eden Resort was close to all we wanted to see, Ephrata Fair, Dutch Wonderland and of course Thomas The Train. Thanks for making our week-end a great one." -Jeff S "Enjoyed our stay very much. We had attended both Miata events, this one and the previous one in 2007 and were very impressed with the accommodations. I will be sure to stay with you when I am in the area for other reasons. Thanks much".-Bob M "As always, our stay was outstanding. I have to tell you, that for a big resort type hotel, you guys are so welcoming, and friendly. My wife and I have been coming to the Best Western Eden Resort for about 10 years. We have enjoyed it every time. We generally try to get the Perfect Getaway Package and it never ceases to amaze me just how affordable it is. We usually use the breakfast buffet ticket as $8.00 towards the Breakfast Brunch. I have never in my life had a better brunch buffet. As a matter of fact, the word buffet doesn't do it justice. Whenever I know someone going to Lancaster I tell them about the Best Western and I tell them about the Sunday Brunch. Just phenomenal.
The other thing that I picked up on is on your website. It says check in time is 3PM but you will make every effort to accommodate early arrivals. Once again, to me this is just so welcoming. For a big place, you haven't forgotten customer service. That to me is huge.
When I made the reservation, I did it on line and within minutes we had a call at home telling us that since we were staying a Saturday night we should call and make dinner reservations. When I called and made dinner reservations I left a message and in less than 5 minutes someone called back to confirm. Once again, great customer service." -Jim
"We loved our stay! The layout of the room is fantastic for families (inner room with 2 queen beds plus outer room with another bed, sofa, and eating area). We also appreciate the onsite dining options. Kids loved the pool." -Ming
"My stay was great. Nice and quiet at night. Room was clean and staff was friendly and helpful."
"My husband and I enjoyed our stay as usual. The warm staff ,very comfortable accommodations , and delishious food will keep us coming back !"- Meara
"I rarely respond to such emails, but I just wanted to share how great my stay with BW/Eden was. |

James Murdoch insisted Tuesday that he knew little about the scale of phone hacking by people working for the News of the World, as he continued his fight to limit the damage the scandal does to him and his family's media empire.
Underlings did not tell him how pervasive it was when he took over News Corp.'s British newspaper publishing arm, he said.
He agreed with a suggestion that the reason was because they knew he would put a stop to it.
"I think that must be it, that I would say, 'Cut out the cancer,' and there was some desire to not do that," he told the Leveson Inquiry into press ethics.
Former Murdoch employees testified earlier that they told him about the problem.
He was testifying before an independent British inquiry into journalistic ethics prompted by phone hacking at the defunct News of the World, once the flagship British Sunday tabloid of News Corp.
The scandal has reverberated through the British political establishment, led to dozens of arrests on suspicion of criminal activity and forced News Corp. to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds in compensation to the victims of phone hacking.
Tuesday's hearing revealed the depth of the links between the Murdoch family and British politicians, with Murdoch saying he had had drinks with David Cameron at a pub before Cameron became prime minister and dined with him once he was in office.
Leveson Inquiry lawyer Robert Jay pressed Murdoch over the extent of his contact with politicians as the company moved to take full control of satellite broadcaster BSkyB, a bid that collapsed because of the phone-hacking scandal.
Evidence published Tuesday suggests that News Corp. was getting inside information from the government minister with the power to approve or block the acquisition, Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt.

Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions top Seahawks with 20 seconds left WITH VIDEO
DETROIT — The Lions' inspiration came from the hospital room of Nate Burleson.
After film during the offensive meetings on Saturday night, all of a sudden there Burleson was on the big screen.
"He looked like his leg was amputated, night gown up, sat up and I was like, 'Oh (shoot),''' center Dominic Raiola said. "It was cool, it was awesome. We were going to take that attitude into today, we need to carry that the rest of the year.''
Burleson, the wide receiver who plays and lives with a certain fire, broke his leg Monday night, had surgery on Friday and is out for the season.
"We knew what we were talking about all week, playing for Nate, playing with his spirit and passion. That's all we knew,'' Raiola said. "I had a feeling like we were going to see a snippet of all his highlights or celebrations, but that worked.''
The Lions looked much more like themselves (or at least themselves from 2011) in the 28-24 comeback win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Ford Field.
The win pushed the Lions' record up to 3-4 and dropped the Seahawks to 4-4. For the Lions, nothing seems impossible.
"Teams that do well over 16 games persevere through some tough times or adversity,'' coach Jim Schwartz said. "Teams that do well over a 60-minute game persevere though some tough times or adversity. That's just life in the NFL.'' Continued...
It was classic Stafford (34 of 49, 352 yards, three touchdowns passing, one touchdown rushing and one interception.
In his 36th career NFL game, Stafford threw his fourth game-winning touchdown with less than a minute on the clock.
On Sunday the Lions were down 24-21 and with 20 seconds left. It was on third-and-goal from the 1-yard line when Stafford delivered the ball to Titus Young who had a career day in catches (nine) and receiving yards (100).
"That was a called play, had about four dudes standing next to Calvin (Johnson), one dude standing next to Titus, I liked my numbers over there a little better,'' Stafford said. "He ran a great route, made a play, that's what he did all day. It was great to see.''
On the previous play, second-and-goal from the one, Stafford had thrown to Johnson in the corner of the end zone and the ball appeared to go through his finger tips.
"When I let it go I thought it might have been a little too early,'' Stafford said. "I had to get it out, we can't take a sack at that point in the game. I'm just trying to get that ball out and if he made that catch it would have been a heck of a play.
"He got his eyes back at the last second, that ball was kind of on him. I know one thing he's not thinking too much, that guy's is out there playing his (butt) off,'' Stafford said.
For Stafford and the Lions, the fourth quarter comebacks are no big deal.
"I was just out there having fun. That's what it's all about. NFL football, the fourth quarter is fun. All our guys on our team know it, they love it,'' Stafford said. "The difference was today we showed up in the first half, put 14 on the board, battled in the third quarter, really had a good day offensively — minus the interception I threw.''
Unlike the previous six games this season, the Lions put two touchdowns — one in the first quarter (Ryan Broyles six-yard catch), one in the second (Titus Young 46-yard catch)— on the board before the half. Continued...
Still the Seahawks, led by rookie quarterback Russell Wilson (25 of 35, 236 yards, two touchdowns, one interception), were a tough opponent that didn't back down. The Seahawks were up 17-14 at the half after Marshawn Lynch broke free for a 77-yard touchdown run.
On the Lions first possession of the third quarter, they moved down the field, but Stafford was intercepted by Earl Thomas on a second-and-3 from Seattle's 29-yard line.
The Lions defense got the ball back in the next series, when safety Ricardo Silva, who started in place of the concussed Amari Spievey, pulled in his first career interception.
At the start of the fourth, the Lions were still down 17-14. Stafford ran a naked bootleg from the 1-yard line to give Detroit a 21-17 lead.
In the next series, Wilson connected with Zach Miller for a 16-yard touchdown reception — on a twisting, falling beauty of a catch — to re-take the lead at 24-21.
The Lions got the ball back with 5:27 remaining. The message in the huddle was clear. "Let's go down and score, let's not leave it to chance, let's not go tie the game, let's go finish it and close it,'' Raiola said.
And so they did. Stafford was 10 of 15 on the drive which was kept alive on a third-and-five with a 46-yard pass play to Calvin Johnson.
"(Calvin) had some big plays when we needed them, just some drive starters.'' Stafford said. "That curl he caught and went for about 40, nobody in the league catches a curl with a guy on his back and goes 35 or 40. He's one of a kind, he makes us go.''
Stafford and Johnson are the faces of the Lions' offense, but on Sunday the whole offense was involved including running backs Mikel Leshoure (10 carries, 46 yards) and Joique Bell (seven carries, 25 yards).
"It was big not only for (Titus Young), it's got to be a group effort,'' Stafford said. "Not only him, we need everybody. Calvin gets a lot of attention out there. It makes it tough to get him the ball sometimes and other guys have to make people pay.'' Continued...
They did that. For their efforts — and with an assist from Nate Burleson — it paid off with a win that has the potential to turn the season around.

Andersson, Bo; Henningsson, Stefan (Springer, 2011/2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The recent years of rapid development of mobile technologies creates opportunities for new user-groups in the mobile workforce to take advantage of information systems (IS). However, to apprehend and harness these opportunities for mobile IS it is crucial to fully understand the user group and the mobile technology. In this paper we deductively, from previous research on aspects on mobility, synthesize a tentative analytical framework capturing factors accentuated in mobile IS design. We evaluate the framework based on criteria of completeness, distinctiveness, and simplicity. Eventually, these two steps develop the framework towards a theoretical contribution as theory for describing handheld computing from a designer's perspective. Thirteen semi-structured interviews were made and the tentative framework was elaborated and confirmed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8633 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Enterprise Systems have become the default support systems for business processes in commercial organisations. Their promise of increased efficiency and effectiveness fits well with profit-based strategic objectives, and can be linked directly to customer choice. The last fifteen years have seen extensive implementation of Enterprise Systems in the University sector. While efficiency and effectiveness may be important in this sector, they are not linked directly to customer choice – the concept of a customer is complex, and choices may include many influences which are unaffected by administrative processes. Using one Australian and one Danish University as examples, an analysis of the benefits from using Enterprise Systems in Universities and in supermarkets is undertaken. There are some differences in the nature of those benefits. More importantly, differences in links between those benefits and the effect on customer choice are pronounced, with significant impacts for research and practical implications of Enterprise Systems.

Hansen, Rina; Tambo, Torben (Turku, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: E-commerce has matured and become mainstream. The fashion industry is now competing strongly in the digital markets. Beside traditional web-shops, new sales and branding channels are emerging e.g. M-commerce (mobile); social commerce; marketplaces; gaming etc. E-commerce and multi-channel retailing (MCR) now have a less technology-centric perspective while focusing more on sales and branding, although technology is the carrier and imposes limits. Corporate information systems are extended to the consumer"s computers, smartphones and digital entertainment platforms. The information systems (IS) research tradition is somewhat challenged but can provide an elaborate framework for the understanding of the business and technology changes as well as provide an ideal support for research and businesses in choosing among the different MCR options. This paper proposes a model to understand and position fashion companies" existing and future sales and branding channels from an IS perspective. Future research suggestions include long-term challenges and benefits of distinct electronic channels. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8527 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The recent profusion of smartphones in the mobile industry offers new opportunities for mobile services vendors. One of the most influenced service categories is location-based services (LBS). Based on insights from behavioural decision-making, a theoretical framework is developed to analyse individuals" decisions to use LBS. We focus on the cognitive processes involved in individual decisionmaking. Our research is based on two studies. First, we investigated the use of LBS through semistructured interviews of smartphone users. Second, we explored daily LBS use through a study based on diaries. The findings highlight the distinct value dimension in specific contexts of use and the positive experiences of the service as the main drivers of LBS use. Thus, the user decision to use LBS can be described by either a comparative mode based on the value of LBS in relation to other available options, or by an intuitive mode where past experiences trigger the use of heuristics. These modes in turn underscore the positive influences on the continuance of LBS use. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8522 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This study investigates how the choice of analysis method for card sorting studies affects the suggested information structure for websites. In the card sorting technique, a variety of methods are used to analyse the resulting data. The analysis of card sorting data helps user experience (UX) designers to discover the patterns in how users make classifications and thus to develop an optimal, user-centred website structure. During analysis, the recurrence of patterns of classification between users influences the resulting website structure. However, the algorithm used in the analysis influences the recurrent patterns found and thus has consequences for the resulting website design. This paper draws an attention to the choice of card sorting analysis and techniques and shows how it impacts the results. The research focuses on how the same data for card sorting can lead to different website structures by generating different set of classifications. It further explains how the agreement level between the users can change for similar data due to the choice of analysis. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8587 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The paper proposes a framework for assessment and design of B2C websites focussing on Web 2.0 and social media as vehicles for involvement of current and potential customers. Three overall strategic dimensions are proposed for characterization of websites, whether the 1) purpose is branding or e-commerce, 2) communication is one-way or two-way, 3) focus is transaction or innovation. When these three strategic binary dimensions are combined, we get 2 x 2 x 2 or a total of 8 different triplet combinations. The framework is used for an assessment of 15 fashion websites in the years 2006, 2008 and 2010. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8429 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Ubiquitous and pervasive computing is fundamentally transforming product categories such as music, movies, and books and the associated practices of product searching, ordering, and buying. This paper contributes to theory and practice of digital payments by conducting a design science inquiry into the mobile phone wallet (m-wallet). Four different user groups, including young teenagers, young adults, mothers and businessmen, have been involved in the process of identifying, developing and evaluating functional and design properties of m-wallets. Interviews and formative usability evaluations provided data for the construction of a conceptual model in the form of sketches followed by a functional model in the form of low-fidelity mockups. During the design phases, knowledge was gained on what properties the users would like the m-wallet to embody. The identified properties have been clustered as 'Functional properties' and 'Design properties', which are theoretical contributions to the on-going research on m-wallets. One of the findings from our design science inquiry into m-wallets is that everyday life contexts require that evaluation criteria have to be expanded beyond "functionality, completeness, consistency, accuracy, performance, reliability, usability, fit with the organization, and other relevant quality attributes" [12] that are used within current design science work.

Abstract: In this paper we present a case study of early prototyping work performed within a Danish advanced technology project. We specifically investigate the problems and issues related to throw-away prototypes in sensor-intensive systems. An important criterion is to record and perhaps later reproduce the identified contributions of the throw-away prototypes, and to this end we use the educational version of Lego Mindstorms NXT. To achieve methodological rigor we have used the Design Science Framework by Hevner et. al. It allows us to focus on the prototyping effort (called the design cycle) without letting go of either the relevance or rigor related to the project. We relate the case study to a Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) framework for the use of interactive, sensor-intensive prototypes to develop interactive greenhouse climate management systems. By applying guidelines suggested in design science to the case studied, we identify a number of interactive prototypes that successively address core issues in this particular setting. Finally, the problems and issues pertaining to this setting is presented and identified. The main contribution of this paper is that it, by pointing out problems and issues related throw-away prototyping with sensor-intensive systems, extends the design cycle of the original design science framework. This is determined to be a necessary step in order to address the inherent multi-disciplinarily of sensor-intensive HWID systems. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8601 Files in this item: 1

Analyzing the illegal distribution of digital games via BitTorrentDrachen, Anders; Bauer, Kevin; Veitch, Robert W. D. (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The practice of illegally copying and distributing digital games is at the heart of one of the most heated and divisive debates in the international games environment. Despite the substantial interest in game piracy, there is very little objective information available about its magnitude or its distribution across game titles and game genres. This paper presents the first large-scale, open-method analysis of the distribution of digital game titles, which was conducted by monitoring the BitTorrent peer-to-peer (P2P) filesharing protocol. The sample includes 173 games and a collection period of three months from late 2010 to early 2011. With a total of 12.6 million unique peers identified, it is the largest examination of game piracy via P2P networks to date. The study provides findings that reveal the magnitude of game piracy, the timefrequency of game torrents, which genres that get pirated the most, and the relationship between aggregated review scores and ESRB-ratings.

Abstract: Acquisitions of new businesses and divestments of existing ones are frequently components of large organizations' corporate strategies. In both acquisitions and divestments, corporate IT infrastructure plays a critical role for realizing business objectives. In this paper, we take a dual view of the IT-related challenges in divestment and acquisition strategies, studying them as a single integrated transaction between a buyer and a seller and investigating how the IT carve-out and IT integration strategies influence each other. The extant literature on the interaction between carve-outs and integration strategies is an empty set. Here, we begin to shed light to the limitations of the carve-out contract, the processes of carving out a business unit from one and integrating it into another multibusiness organization, asymmetries in both parties' preferences for an IT transaction process and its influence on arising challenges and organization performance.

Abstract: This paper inquires into the complexities of contemporary IT solutions based on a case study of the EU's eCustoms initiatives using Manuel DeLanda's Assemblage Theory. Technological innovations have enabled information infrastructures with dramatically increased number and heterogeneity of included components, and their dynamic and unexpected interactions. Unfortunately, lack of understanding of how the increasing complexity influences development initiatives is hampering effective information infrastructure development. Assemblage Theory can be seen as holistic synthesis of previous research streams seeking to explain how information infrastructures evolve in social contexts. Accordingly, in this paper it helps us getting a holistic grasp of the complexity of contemporary IT solutions and the "essence" of their dynamics. Through Assemblage Theory we explain how the European eCustoms information infrastructure has through a dialectic between stabilizing and destabilizing processes assumed its current shape - a result of decisions taken decades ago, path dependency, complexity, and accumulated emergence.

Abstract: The continuance of use is an important topic of IS research. However, in the past, many researchers have focused on adoption rather than IS continuance. Studying continuance is of equal importance, because if use does not persist, this may limit the revenues of the provider. This is particularly true for consumer-oriented services, which rely on advertising, or subscription-based revenue models. In this paper, we investigate the determinants of location-based services (LBS) continuance as a relevant case study for the examination of IS continuance generally. A research model is developed and empirically tested through a survey of a representative sample in Germany. The proposed model builds on and extends the Limayem et al. model of IS continuance. Our analysis highlights the importance of habit and emotion in LBS continuance. The results indicate that habit has a stronger predictive power than continuance intentions for LBS continuance and that emotions are an important driver for user satisfaction with LBS.

Interactive climate control in greenhouses in DenmarkClemmensen, Torkil (Lisbon, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper argues that we should focus on creating examples of indigenous HCI. This should be done by becoming more sensitive to regional and national differences in how work styles and interaction design across time and use merge, adapt, localize and reduce the ambiguity of the technology. A case of climate control is reported. The method is interpretive phenomenological analysis that focuses on idiosyncrasies. The climate control experience of a Danish expert is compared with the experiences of a similar Israeli expert. The conclusion says that many similarities exist, but also meaningful differences that should be the basis for Indigenous HCI design. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8533 Files in this item: 1

Online GPA Data in Lower Secondary SchoolsNormann Andersen, Kim; Zinner Henriksen, Helle; Medaglia, Rony; Hjerrild Carlsen, Mathilde; Sløk, Camilla (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Despite ten years of direct regulation, our study of Danish lower secondary schools shows that they do not provide online access to the GPA for individual public schools (N=1,592). Using Lipsky's gate-keeping theory, we investigate the lack of data provision as indicator not only of professionals' being reluctant to accept imposed standards and control from central level (top-down) but also avoiding demands from parents (and children) on transparency and accountability (bottom-up). The lack of accessibility of grades on the web can thus be seen as a classical gate-keeping mechanism evolving in the age of information society where expectations of end-of-gatekeeping by providing accessibility and transparency using information systems has been outnumbered by classical forces of gate-keeping.

A longitudinal study of the adoption of online interactive and social media by luxury fashion brandsHansen, Rina (Turku, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Most luxury fashion brands have yet to develop a clear and focused integrated online strategy, as they have struggled with the dilemma of interacting with fans and customers online. We observed how 35 luxury fashion brands utilized social and interactive online technologies since 2006 by formulating a framework for assessing fashion websites and brand controlled social media sites. Our findings illustrate that the observed luxury brands have increased their adoption of social and interactive digital technologies since 2006, and that with the help of Web 2.0 technologies fashion brands can create an immersing and innovative environment online.The findings also have relevance for practitioners, as the developed 8C framework can function as a checklist for fashion brand website creation.

Abstract: IT1 is likely to be as important to the way companies will organize in the future as electricity was to the industrial revolution. IT will revolutionize entire industries and markets. IT will create new types of organizations that will surpass and outsmart traditional organizations. This has been predicted for more than a decade. But now it is happening especially in the music, newspaper and publishing industries, and shall see it even more pronounced in these sectors in the future. But it will not be limited to these industries; it will influence all types of industry and government organizations. Already today, we see many examples of innovative organizational designs, enhancing organizational effectiveness and competitiveness. The paper will briefly discuss the potential of future IT developments, and will proceed to give a short theoretical background for why we see a growth in IT-facilitated new organizational forms. A couple of interesting organizational design will be mentioned, before we proceed to making the argument that any business process in principle may be reengineered, centralized or outsourced in one way or other. Interesting examples will be presented. We suggest that future IT will have such a profound impact on organizational structure going far beyond the traditional 'virtual organization' that it calls for a new organizational concept, which we have chosen to label the "Ambient Organization'.

How knowledge workers act as amateurs when using information at workConstantiou, Ioanna; Madsen, Sabine; Papazafeiropoulou, Anastasia (, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The proliferation of Internet technologies in the workspace provides tremendous possibilities for knowledge workers to access vast amounts of information from a large number of sources. The information abundance offers new opportunities which empower the knowledge worker but at the same time may create information overload. This study explores academics' information management practices, by applying a theoretical framework build on three theoretical perspectives. These involve mindfulness, sense-making, and decision-making heuristics. The theoretical framework is used to analyse diary data about three tasks: email management, communication with colleagues, and information search. Our findings show that the knowledge workers have developed their own relatively simple but seemingly suitable practices for dealing with information overload and being empowered from the abundant information available to them. The relative amateurism and professionalism of the participants are discussed and limitations of this study as well as areas for future research are delineated.

Abstract: Acquisitions are standard components of the growth strategies of many organizations. Frequently, acquisitions raise important questions concerning how and to what extent the acquisition's information technology (IT) needs to be integrated into the IT of the acquirer. We investigate how the initial conditions of business and IT alignment in the acquirer and the acquisition affect the complexity of the post-acquisition IT integration process, in acquisitions of business units by multi-business organizations. Adopting an IT alignment model for multi-business organizations, we explain the complexity of IT integration paths in two acquisitions made by the industry group Trelleborg AB. We identify four initial business and IT strategic alignment conditions where the IT integration process is a simple one-step process exploiting existing business and IT capabilities. Low compliance with these conditions leads to increased complexity because additional business and/or IT capabilities have to be developed to leverage the full potential of the acquisition.

Game piracy activity vs. metacritic scoreDrachen, Anders; Bauer, Kevin; Veitch, Robert W. D. (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The practice of illegally copying and distributing digital games is at the heart of one of the most heated and divisive debates in the international games environment, with stakeholders typically viewing it as a very positive (pirates) or very negative (the industry, policy makers). Despite the substantial interest in game piracy, there is very little objective information available about its magnitude or its distribution across game titles and game genres. This paper presents a large-scale analysis of the illegal distribution of digital game titles, which was conducted by monitoring the BitTorrent peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing protocol. The sample includes 173 games and a collection period of three months from late 2010 to early 2011. A total of 12.6 million unique peers were identified, making this the largest examination of game piracy via P2P networks to date. The ten most pirated titles encompass 5.27 million aggregated unique peers alone. In addition to genre, review scores were found to be positively correlated with the logarithm of the number of unique peers per game (p<0.05).

Abstract: Overt VP anaphors like do so, do it and do the same can host a following PP (Culicover & Jackendoff (2005:285–6), Huddleston & Pullum (2002:1533), Miller (2011:5–6), Sobin (2008:150, 155–157)): (1) The House is set to take up the final version of the funding bill tomorrow. The Senate will do the same on Thursday. [COCA] (2) You have jilted two previous fiances and I expect you would do the same to me. [COCA] Using (1) to fix terminology, the ANAPHOR is do the same, the ANTECEDENT is take up the final version of the funding bill, the ORPHAN is on Tuesday, and the CORRELATE is tomorrow. Examples like (2) are of particular interest because the correlate (two previous fiances) is inside the antecedent and, consequently, the orphan and the antecedent must interact to produce the interpretation of the clause containing the anaphor. In order to arrive at the interpretation 'you would jilt me', the me of the orphan must take the place of two previous fiances inside the antecedent VP. A superficially similar situation arises with remnants of ellipsis, including pseudogapping (3), sluicing (4), and fragment answers (5). In each case, the interpretation of the ellipsis clause combines part of the antecedent with all or part of the remnant. (3) I wouldn't say that to my mother, but I would to you. (4) I know he gave the dresser away, but I don't know to who. (5) Q: Who did he give the dresser to? A: To me. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8469 Files in this item: 1

My sister had a preemie in Russia
Up until recently, Prematurity Awareness month would have been as far from me as a Leukemia month or something equally unrelated. I do know a few people personally who had premature babies, but I never actually heard exactly what they went through. It can be tough and heartbreaking. But I doubt that most mothers who had premature babies had to worry about their baby's wellbeing IN RELATION to how the doctors are treating them. We all know, doctors are there to help and we put our trust into them.
This is different from the experience some people have in other countries.
Today I wanted to tell you the only premature story that directly affected my family.
