<h1>What's new: real sliders</h1>
<img src="bcf2000-desk1.jpg" style="float:right; border: 2px solid #005;" width="40%"/>
<ul>
<li>$200 board with 8 motorized faders (plus knobs, lights, and buttons)</li>
<li>Talks midi over usb</li>
<li>Python/linux driver is easy:
<pre>

<h1>What's new: RDF for data storage</h1>
<ul>
<li>Old system: ad-hoc text files.</li>
<li>Never do this again.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="slide">
<h1>Old file formats</h1>
<pre class="file">
[music]
preSong = silence-4sec.wav
postSong = silence-15sec.wav
</pre>
<pre class="file">
down-l : 0.32005

<div class="slide">
<h1>Storage goals</h1>
<ul>
<li>Stop inventing and extending syntaxes</li>
<li>Stop reloading the files all the time. Get incremental
updates or query data as it's needed.</li>
<li>Fancier data structures</li>
<li>Arbitrary layout of files on disk</li>
<li>Keep using my most flexible editor (emacs)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="slide">
<h1>New system: RDF</h1>
<ul>
<li>Most files are RDF data (saved as .n3 or ntriples)</li>
<li>Syntax(es) are already done, and all values are unambiguously labeled</li>
<li>Complex data types and relationships are almost as easy as basic ones</li>
<li>Extensible and upgradable, of course</li>
<li>Used DSLs and logic programming to abbreviate boring parts</li>
</ul>
