SnipURL

Sat, 31 Jan 2004 14:45:37 GMT

SnipURL is another service to turn long URLs into short URLs (that are easier to type and that don't wrap in email messages), but SnipURL is the coolest one so far. SnipURL has a bunch of extra features such as counting the number of hits to a snipped URL and easily importing data into Excel.

Amazon.com Associates Program

Sat, 31 Jan 2004 01:26:00 GMT

Today I joined the Amazon.com Associates Program, which threatens to make me rich. See, if I link to products on Amazon.com and convince my flock of readers to click on those links and buy the products, then I get a few cents now and then. Actually, the Associates Program is far more than that, but that's all I managed to glean in the few minutes before I hurriedly updated all the Amazon.com links in my existing blog entries.

Bigger Disk

Mon, 12 Jan 2004 17:28:08 GMT

Wow. I knew the day would come when we'd have a terabyte of storage, but I never imagined that it would be packaged so conveniently. I want one. I don't need one, but it'd be cool to say, "Yeah, there's my terabyte."

DynDNS

Tue, 16 Dec 2003 13:19:38 GMT

Tim Bray plugs DynDNS.org. Thought I'd do the same. I've been using it for just a few weeks. It seems to work well, and you can't beat free. I'm not hosting anything for public consumption from my home computers (yet), but DynDNS gives me access to my personal Scopeware Server.

A bit of a debate about "Local Hard Disk Google" vs. folders.

Why a new storage platform?

Wed, 15 Oct 2003 13:26:22 GMT

Longhorn technical evangelist Jeremy Mazner offers some interesting tidbits on why Microsoft is including a new storage platform in its "Yukon" version of SQL Server and "Longhorn" version of Windows.

Locating computer files without futility and frustration

Wed, 08 Oct 2003 12:19:02 GMT

Somebody at Lockergnome really likes our product. It's good to see that someone gets the concept. Don't wait for Longhorn.

This is a public email-to-RSS gateway. Looks useful for stuff like mailing lists.

Replay Radio - Internet Radio Recorder

Sat, 27 Sep 2003 23:35:30 GMT

Like TiVo for Internet radio. With the proliferation of multi-GB MP3 devices like the iPod, I've noticed an emerging interest in carrying around hours of pre-recorded radio shows, interviews, and lectures--not just music. For example, Dave talks about using RSS enclosures to distribute interviews.
