It sounds like Socialtext have pulled off masterful feat of technology: taking a web application and making it available offline. Such a goal is really sound: so many of us live in a ever-more mobile world, the frequently disconnected worker is usually excluded from some of the best apps.
Take, for instance, the case of IBM, […]
You may have noticed yesterday this site’s not displaying the background. This post is in two halves: 1) implications for typical users of Zoundry and Wordpress, and after the (more…) 2) My notes to investigate why this happened. The latter half of this post is more technical.
Symptoms: a) the site’s background chocolate wrapper image appeared […]
I’ve just finished reading Headrush AJAX. Here’s my 40sec review!
Although some 350 pages, I found it a quick read (2 1/2 hours?), so I was really glad I borrowed it from the library rather than buying it.
The book whizzes you through the steps of converting an web app to an Ajax one: instead of interactions […]
Thomas Baekdal’s idea for a bridge between Web pages and RSS feeds is a simple and good one:
WEB2RSS is a simple web application that can convert almost any normal website/page into an RSS feed.
Thus, if a site you want to watch doesn’t emit RSS (and many don’t), you should instead instead tell your RSS reader […]

Will Humes provides another comprehensive review and says:
GreatNews is a very fast reader. You can scan thru articles quickly, and you have a choice […]
Although I read it today, Lorelle’s recent reminder to backup your blog occurred the very same day Rob inadvertently wiped out all his postings.
Most hosting plans include backup service, and have a means to restore a past snapshot. The plans will vary by how accessible that snapshot is (is it automated or do you have […]

SmartSyncPro requires a local drive (like f:) in order to do a incremental backup. It can JungleDrive provides mapping as an http: address (like http://localhost:2667/). They don’t sit nicely together.
I need to sort out automated backup for my pcs at home. Local drives aren’t going to cut it, not least because they offer nothing against the risk of a catastropic event at home. (e.g. burglery / fire).
