This came in the email today. Looks potentially useful.

LabelMe: An open-source web-based tool for image annotation

Research on object recognition requires large amounts of images for training and testing algorithms. The goal of this project is to provide researchers with a simple annotation tool and the possibility of having immediate access to a large amount of data. LabelMe is not only a database of labeled images, but also a web-based tool for easily creating and sharing more labeled data.

The LabelMe database contains thousands of labeled images. To get the database, we only ask you to contribute to it by annotating some images. After labeling some images, you will be granted access to the full database, and that will include your latest annotations too.

This project provides a web-based annotation tool that makes it easy to annotate images, and to instantly share such annotations with the community. This tool, plus an initial set of 10,000 images (3000 of which have been labeled), can be found at

Solaris Junk

I'm installing solaris on a machine at work. Here is my log of stuff in case I need it later.

1. Install build 20
2. Use the svcs, and svcadm command to check out which services are running
   
3. # svcadm disable network/ftp:default
   # svcadm disable network/finger:default
   # svcadm disable network/login:rlogin
   # svcadm disable network/rpc/rstat:default
   # svcadm disable network/smtp:sendmail
   # svcadm disable network/telnet:default
4. Next up:
   
5. # svcadm disable network/dtspc:default
   # svcadm disable svc:/network/rpc/calendar-manager:udp
6. These don't really need to be done, but I did them. For example, if /etc/apache/httpd.conf doesn't exist, then apache isn't started.
   # mv /etc/rc3.d/S50apache /etc/rc3.d/s50apache
   # mv /etc/rc3.d/S76snmpdx /etc/rc3.d/s76snmpdx
   # mv /etc/rc3.d/S77dmi /etc/rc3.d/s77dmi
7. Disable more stuff
   # svcadm disable svc:/network/rpc/ttdbserver:tcp
   # svcadm disable svc:/network/rpc/rusers:default
   
   
   

Then what else?
