• Implications of Increased Mobile Storage

    Posted on February 19, 2004

    An article over at The Feature talks about some of the implications of storage getting larger in capacity and smaller in size and power consumption. Although there might be some technical errors (for instance, the original Palms didn’t use flash memory, but low consumption battery backed RAM) I think the... [Read More]

    A post by Justin Hall over at The Feature does a very good job of summarizing the impression of ETech that I got. Justin says: [Read More]

  • PalmHTTP 2.1

    Posted on February 17, 2004

    Posted a minor update to PalmHTTP today. The 2.0 version generated warning messages when run under POSE with all debugging enabled, this adds a missing call that keeps that error from popping up.

  • TypePad Palm Client

    Posted on February 17, 2004

    According to this info from TypePad.com they’re going to be releasing a Palm client for posting photos and text. I haven’t even made it through posting images from Vagablog yet, because I’ve been trying to release features without forking off into different versions for each blog hosting tool. And the...

  • WaveBlog

    Posted on February 17, 2004

    Russell posted info about WaveBlog today. This is the first I’m hearing about the company and the product line, but it’s an area that I’ve been watching intently for a long time. I think the technology is right on the money. Attaching blog updates to places and being able to... [Read More]

  • Busy

    Posted on February 10, 2004

    Hello all. Sorry there haven’t been many updates in the last few days. I’ve been completely overwhelmed and haven’t even really had time to read news, let alone write up anything of interest. This will probably keep up for a few days at least.

  • Some More Clustering Tools

    Posted on February 9, 2004

    A Linux Gazette article about Hybrid Clusters mentions a couple of cool tools that I didn’t know about. In particular, the DRBD package looks great. In the past few weeks I’ve run across Clustered JDBC for the first time as well. c-jdbc looks like a great package, but applies only... [Read More]

  • Emerging Technologies Conf

    Posted on February 9, 2004

    Although I would have loved to attend, I’m not going to be able to make the Emerging Technologies Conference, but given that nature of the conf this might not be much of an issue. There’s a wiki to go along with the event, an ETech page on the Joi Ito... [Read More]

  • Geographic Info and Presence

    Posted on February 8, 2004

    I saw an article about IETF work on geolocation and presence info linked off O’Reilly. This is very cool, I hadn’t heard anything about the GEOPRIV working group before, and it could mean that work in general on the subject is a lot further along than I expected it to... [Read More]

  • SmartMobs Mobile

    Posted on February 7, 2004

    Howard Rheingold has been running a great news site SmartMobs focusing on a lot of the issues covered in the SmartMobs book. I feel the circle has now been closed. The book was kicked off by mobile usage and pervasive computing, which spawned a site, and has now given rise... [Read More]
