• Open Source Mesh Networking

    Posted on January 29, 2004

    There’s an article over at O’Reilly about mesh networking. It covers the basics of what a mesh is, the kinds of networks which fall into that broad category, and then give instructions about using an existing open source project to form a mesh network using commodity parts and Linux. Very... [Read More]

  • Reclaim the Streets San Francisco

    Posted on January 28, 2004

    An article at SmartMobs saying that there’s a Reclaim The Streets event planned for Valentines Day in San Francisco. This is an example of combination online and offline gathings of people, commonly referred to as a mob in some circles. People collaborate online, organize, and culminate in a physical meeting....

  • BoingBoing Mobile

    Posted on January 28, 2004

    When I connected to WINKsite this morning I noticed the link to the mobile version of BoingBoing in featured sites area. Woohoo!!! I don’t think it’s any secret that I’m a WINKsite fan, and I think almost everyone in Silicon Valley reads the standard edition of BoingBoing. It’s one of... [Read More]

  • The Multiple Directions of PalmOS 6

    Posted on January 28, 2004

    MyPalmLife posted yesterday that it got information that PalmOS 6 will include all the neat features that Russ and I were concerned about. Is this conflicting information?

  • PalmOS6 to Focus on PDA Functions

    Posted on January 27, 2004

    Russell Beattie has an interesting post in his blog about PalmSource focusing PalmOS6 on PDA functions. I don’t think I could possibly agree with Russell any more than I do. I spent a decent amount of time thinking about it too, cause I do think that a limited function laptop... [Read More]

    Posted on January 27, 2004

    Elle posted a pointer to some information about smartphone and handheld trends in Europe. The information mentions the role of navigation packages, particularly GPS based services, in the increased adoption of devices.

  • PHLAK Site

    Posted on January 27, 2004

    A friend was downloading the PHLAK ISOs the other day, so I decided to take a look over there today. I haven’t downloaded the CD images themselves, but I probably will. I have an HP that just refuses to run Linux in a stable manner. Maybe running most of it... [Read More]

  • Anonymous Blogging

    Posted on January 27, 2004

    At the Trusted Computing class this past weekend Seth mentioned that he was engaged in some online sparring with someone who had a blog on Invisiblog. In particular he was talking about the postings by someone calling themselves Unlimited Freedom, which do make for interesting reading. I completely disagree with... [Read More]

  • PDA Desktop Conversion Cradle

    Posted on January 26, 2004

    There’s an article over at MobileWhack about a desktop cradle called the Blue Dock. It allows a PDA to be used like a full desktop system, with keyboard, monitor, and network connection. Still not available for quite some time, but it does work somewhat towards an idea that Mike Rohde... [Read More]
