New Toys
 Click to hear my thoughts on: New Toys
Looks like Joi and I both picked up new toys this week.
Sony FSV-PGX1 Portable File Server
Sony FSV-PGX1 Portable File Server.
 I just got my Sony FSV-PGX1 Portable File Server. It's an interesting device. It a little linux box that can run on batteries. It has nfs, samba, telnet, http and ftp. It has a 20G HD. There is a web interface or you can set it up with the little lcd display and arrow buttons on the box. If you get the cradle, there is an ethernet connector. The box has 802.11b built in. It's basically a file server. It can be set up as a DHCP access point, DHCP client or fixed IP address on both the ethernet and/or the wireless ports. It can be some sort of "bridge" although I haven't figured that out yet. Obviously many uses. Too bad it doesn't do rendezvous.

The NEW best way to set up a home network
David Coursey: The NEW best way to set up a home network. To which I would add: Make sure you have a high-speed ISP that understands, or at least ignores, your requirements for a home network. Sadly, many [usually large, incumbent, greedy] ISPs want to charge you extra to attach a home network, or place restrictions on your use of Wi-Fi, or other shenanigans. [Scott Mace's Radio Weblog]

The Gateway 100X Pocket PC
The Gateway 100X Pocket PC.
Some more details on Gateway's first foray into the world of the Pocket PC. The Gateway 100X will run the new Pocket PC 2003 operating system, have a 400MHz processor, 32MB of RAM, 32MB of ROM, Compact Flash and SD expansion slots, and a 3.5-inch reflective (rather than transflective) color display. Should be out late next month. Anyone seen any photos of this?

Adventures in Photo Publishing
Adventures in Photo Publishing. After a few days of laborious searching, I have determined one thing: there is no good way to publish your photos on the Web. But there are several sub-optimal ways. I finally settled on Fotki, but this is only a temporary measure. [kuro5hin.org]

Blogroll autodiscovery
Blogroll autodiscovery.
In order to find new feeds to index, Feedster is making some requests to URLs where OPML files are commonly located. A short discussion ensued in my comments about the relative merits of Feedster’s approach and a better way of finding the files.
A comment by Phillip Harrington suggested that bloggers use a <link> tag to indicate the location of their OPML files if they wish for them to be public.
Not only would this benefit Feedster, but it could also help automated systems look for related blogs. As I visit sites, my news aggregator could keep track of blogs that are subscribed to the same feeds as me. As the aggregator finds feeds that are often found in proximity to ones I like, they could be automatically added to my aggregator. Sort of like FOAF for blogrolls and news aggregators.
The format for such a link tag would be: <link rel="meta" type="application/opml+xml" title=OPML href="http://yoururl.com/path/to/yoursubscriptions.opml"> [Kalsey Consulting Group :: Measure Twice]

The Blog Explosion
The Blog Explosion.
I was just over at Technorati and noticed the "weblogs watched" count went over 400,000 today (it's at exactly 400,091 right now). It was only March 5 when the 100,000 mark was passed. At this rate, there will be more than 6 million blogs by the end of the year. [VentureBlog]
