added JSON and YAML in the article on “data logger” / data formats on the English Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_logger#Data_formats I wonder, whether this modifications will find mercy in the eyes of the “article surveyors”. JSON: I attended a presentation given by a member of Pivotal.io, telling of a data logger device, that they use in a project, that emits JSON YAML: a huge international web warehouse exchanges its data with its logistics partners in YAM…

Asaf Avidan’s new album “Gold Shadow” – yet another appetizer appeared – and not just on YouTube
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00Q5KIF1U What a nice idea: paying for the appetizers now, paying for only the difference of the price of the entire MP3 album, once it’s out.
