Knapsack Update
 As all who read this can attest, my baby programming project is called Knapsack. It is an RSS Aggregator or, in layman's terms, it goes out on the web and gets headlines and stories from websites you are interested in.
One of the problems of being a web browser like myself is that I occasionally see a story and don't have time to read it there and then. I'd like to come back to it later but I don't want to bookmark it since it's just a story. This is a perfect scenario for the latest piece of Knapsack: mailgrams.
A mailgram is just a story you've seen and would like to email to yourself for later reading. Email is a good medium because it's persistent (it won't go away) but it's not so permanent; whenever you're through you just delete the email.
To the right of the [Mailgram] link you see an option to [Save] a story. I'll soon implement a more persistent storage medium in Knapsack - online storage that one can always come back to. I'd also like to make it more sophisticated than just storing a URL - these change quite often and, in the case of some sites like the NY Times, require a login.
It's a bit frustrating to have ideas and only be able to inch along in programming (the email concept has been floating in my head since I first uploaded a version of Knapsack) but I suppose it's better than nothing. If you're bored check it out.
Some known bugs:
1. Non-relative URLs get botched in the email, as do pictures. I'll have to come up with a parsing capability that either resolves these or strips them out.
2. Javascript is a bother in most email clients. A web based one is usually your best bet at this point with the tool.
3. It doesn't work with RDF. This is a critical fix I'm hoping to have time for soon.
4. It requires bigger screen resolution (at least 1024x768, preferred 1280x1024)
