Weblogs.com monitoring: Thanks to Simon for pointing me to blogToaster for monitoring changes in weblogs.com via IM. I was thinking something more in the lines of a mail-alerter thought. Sits in my Windows tray and raises a flag each time a monitored weblog is changed. Add weblogs to monitor by right-clicking on the icon in the tray and typing in the URI. When a monitored weblog is changed then click on the icon and it launches the browser with the updated weblog. Update: Frank points me via email to this. Will check! Update: The little program is neat but doesn't seem to work correctly. When the flag goes up that a site has changed - it seems to always show the same URI (the first one from the list). Also - clicking on that takes me to a different entry from my list. Hmm..

Linux on the iPod: And you thought it could only play music. This sort of thing amazes me. Why would anyone think about porting Linux to the iPod in the first place?
