Comment on Notes on setting up Taste by allenday

Thanks for the feedback Sean. Feel free to poach any of this for the main guide if you think it’s helpful.

I’m particularly interested to hear your thoughts on this alternate “quick” build target. As it is now users will have to wait until the next build, so no recommendations until then. I feel it’s a bit of a hack and that it would be better to implement an addUser() method added to the web service.

Yep that is all right, thanks for posting the notes. This should all basically work with the new Mahout-ified version of the code too, which includes some small changes and improvements since 1.7.2. I think you would need to change step 2, where you need to download the Mahout source with SVN. Then the rest is about the same except you need to use the build script called taste-build.xml (ant -f taste-build.xml …).

This should all work with Tomcat 6 as well BTW.

Comment on Tetris! by allenday

Definitely. I’m usually on late at night, though lately my PhD dissertation has been interfering with my gaming plans.

Are you going to get Mr. Driller? It will be on XBLA next week. Best realtime puzzle game since Tetris, even better than Lumines IMO, which I see you also have.

Hi Guys,

I’ll do a write-up shortly. I’m in the middle of writing my PhD dissertation right now.

@Prune
The 206 HTTP response code means “partial content” in response to a range request. It’s not an error, it’s more similar to a 200 OK.

Allen: I like it. I suppose Apple has reasons for not supporting streaming audio, but since the iTouch is a dandy little portable computer, it’s a surprise that they wouldn’t, as it adds value to the iTouch.

Anyway, I’d like to see more on how to do this.
