New Kappa

Time passes and I realize I should be less this blog. So here's some info on the progress of Kappa ...
Yesterday evening I was invited to Innovation Awards organized by Technopole de Mulhouse and the Region, as Kappa was one of 18 innovative projects selected to compete. I did not have prices, but it does not matter (although, the check would not hurt to account Kappa). I was able to present the project to a number of officials and some bankers, which allowed me to roam a bit for my presentation. There's even a journalist who said he contact me, but I expect to see.
Apart from that, it is also quite likely that team Kappa is expanding in the coming weeks: the discussions are progressing well. A blogger whose name is not unknown for frequent Web 2.0. A little patience ...
development side, we can say that I'm pretty happy. The features fall into place, gently advance the graphic ... Unless major time-cons, I think the first beta version should out within two months . That

to keep you a little about Kappa.

Reminder: for those who have not read the previous posts on Kappa is a new advertising service that is innovative in its research strategy. The objective being of course to avoid users having to search regularly full of different sites ...

Ziki's it started to benchmark PHP OpenID

Yes, well, I know, I have two days late for this info ... Still, as Jean-Francois was announced on the blog : Ziki accepts the connection via OpenID, pout those who already have an account, and becomes identity server for those who want it.
So yes, yes, there is still thousands of sites that use OpenID for authentication, but I can only applaud that.

Regular readers of this blog (they exist?) already knew it was in the pipes , it seems that it's finally come fast enough.
There's just a little to evangelize among the 8,000 enrolled, and in some time you can test your ID on Kappa (and yes, it goes on ...)

Breakfast: json_encode vs serialize

Souls non-technical, go your way ...

Quite simply, for site development of Kappa I needed a comparison between the functions json_encode () and serialize () PHP 5.2
Both approaches can transform the variables into a string, and JSON and used extensively for some time to trade Ajax, because it is implemented in different languages (unlike serialize () which is only for PHP).

For me the point is to serialize an array to store the value in a cookie. Now the function serialize () me back a string that is about 40% more Long than json_encode () . The saving in space is precious to me, because a cookie has a size limit (about 4000 characters). But do not think it saves space has a significant cost of time.
So I made a small benchmark that does not pretend to be universal, on my personal machine with Ubuntu 6.10, and I noticed that json_encode () takes about ... 40% more time than serialize () .
However, the difference is still not huge, since in my case this is equivalent to 2.5 millionths of a second more. I know I'm a maniac of optimization but I think I'm going to meet that.

Anyway, as I did not find any comparison between these two functions, I shall (if that can be used for other ...)
