  • Search structured LDAP data with a vector-space engine Search structured LDAP data with a vector-space engine, Use Perl and a vector-space search engine to search and display records from your Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) database. Use inflected letters and numbers to create a useful vector space from structured LDAP data. Compensate for typographical and spelling errors automatically while showing the most appropriate match for any query entered. Local cached text. IBM developerWorks podcast with Scott Laningham.

  • Precipitation proximity alerts using WSR-88D radar data Precipitation proximity alerts using WSR-88D radar data, Traditional weather reports will give notice of vague forecasts and severe weather alerts in your general area. The code and tools presented in this article will allow you to create precise detection zones so you can receive a page, SMS, or e-mail a few minutes before a precipitation event is likely to occur at the monitored location. Use GD and Perl for image processing of the NOAA WSR-88D radar data to create your own precipitation alerts for precise areas. Choose your notification method and let users know when the rain will begin and when it will clear. Local cached text.
