Kynetx Platform Update

Fri Oct 22 14:48:00 2010

We've had some changes in the Kynetx platform, KNS, over the last few weeks that I wanted to update people on. First, a few weeks ago, we cut over to a new parser. Yeah, if you're keeping score, this is number 3. The first parser was based on HOP. We replaced that with Damian Conway's Parse::RecDescent as chronicled in a blog post I did in September of 2008. The third (last?) parser is based on the ANTLR parser generator. Cid Dennis did most of the hard work of creating the new Parser and Mark Horstmeier did the Perl integration

The Kynetx Rule Language: The First Internet Application Platform

Mon Aug 16 15:56:00 2010

A while ago, someone asked, in a comment, "What's KRL?" I realized that while I had lots of snippets that explained KRL and what it could do, there's was no good place to point people who ask that question. Consequently, I put together a white paper that explains, in some technical detail, what KRL is, how it operates, and why we think it's so damn cool. The paper is The Kynetx Rule Language - The First Internet Application Platform (PDF). If that title doesn't pique your interest, maybe a few paragraphs from the intro can: Imagine walking into Borders

Contrasting Kynetx and Greasemonkey

Kynetx Network Service, or KNS, modifies a user's Web page using Javascript. The ability to customize pages in the browser is a powerful capability, but it goes well beyond that by allowing data from multiple sources, even other Web pages, to be used as part of that customization. Sure we can change change colors, fonts, and layout, but we can also mashup Web sites to produce completely new experiences. Described as I have, KNS is not unlike Greasemonkey, a popular plug-in for Firefox that allows user scripts to modify Web pages. In fact, in a recent post Paul Madsen

Azigo's RemindMe Service and Kynetx

Fri Dec 19 14:45:00 2008

Yesterday Azigo (Parity) launched it's RemindMe service. RemindMe uses Information Cards to represent relationships that are meaningful to the shopper and then overlays Google and Yahoo! with reminders to indicate when those relationships might be valuable. For example, if you're a AAA member, you get a discount at Hertz. RemindMe will alert you to that fact. The reason I'm jazzed about it is that Kynetx Network Service (KNS) is being used to provide the overlays. In our partnership, Azigo is supplying the cards and selector (including the browser add-on). The add-on calls our service depending on what cards are
