    Posted on January 26, 2004

    According to a post in the Blogger Developers Blog Blogger now offers the Atom API and feeds. I haven’t yet tried them out, but you can bet that I’ll be working with them before the end of the day. The announcement includes a link to AtomEnabled.org, a site with what... [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]

  • Palm Trusts in Smartphones

    Posted on January 26, 2004

    There’s an article at TheFeature about PalmOne deciding that smartphones are going to be way bigger than PDAs in the future. It says that PalmOne is going to be shifting attention away from PDAs cause they see sales being relatively flat in that area. I can certainly agree there, it... [Read More]

  • Trusted Computing

    Posted on January 25, 2004

    I went to Seth Schoen’s class on trusted computing at the Freedom Technology Center yesterday. The class itself was GREAT! Trusted computing is an area that I really wanted to learn about, but never had the time for. This was a chance to get a whole boatload of info in... [Read More]

  • Darl McBride

    Posted on January 25, 2004

    While joking in the IRC channel at pilot-link setuid pointed me to an analysis of Darl McBride’s behavior. It is a pretty funny read on its own, but what struck me after reading even a few of the quotes from Darl is that he doesn’t understand that everyone benefits from... [Read More]

  • MarketingProfs.com

    Posted on January 24, 2004

    I ended up at an article about content management predictions for 2004. I really don’t have a strong feeling about that article at all, but the overall site, MarketingProfs.com, seems like a great resource for the independent businessperson in general. I’ve only skimmed a few of the articles so far,... [Read More]

  • Database Independence

    Posted on January 23, 2004

    There’s a post by John Udell about database lockin. I think the issue with SQL dialect lockin is probably more troublesome. I agree that transport independence is a problem though. Databases have been like this for a long time - a standard language to query them, but different libraries for... [Read More]

  • Palm Emulator Bluetooth

    Posted on January 23, 2004

    This site describes how to use a physical bluetooth device from a POSE session running under Linux. That’s just really cool. I with the people actually at Palm would realize the market they lost in open source advocates, but if that isn’t going to happen at least a couple of... [Read More]

  • High Speed Photography

    Posted on January 23, 2004

    There are images online from a couple of people who constructed a high speed photo lab using a BASIC stamp and some off the shelf parts. I have no idea how expensive high speed photography normally is, or just how hard it is to construct one of these, but the... [Read More]

  • RSS WinterFest Resources

    Posted on January 22, 2004

    RSS WinterFest is an RSS webcast that went on over the last two days. Along with the webcast went a wiki a weblog and tons of other resources linked in through both of those. There are some great points brought up, and some points that I really don’t agree with... [Read More]
