A.L.Digital : The Bunker : Press - More info about the Bluetooth hack

An interesting article about B&W conversion. Here, multiple layers are used to create the B&W image, with the normal color image retained in the base layer. All conversion components are designed as separate layers and can therefore be adjusted at any time later. Certainly a quite interesting technique, especially since you don't need any additional plugins.

Boyz need Toyz: Sony Clie PEG TH55

I've had a Son since yesterday as a PDA. Very nice. MP3 player, camera, image viewer, document viewer, Bluetooth, WLAN, voice recorder, Memory Stick slot - everything you could wish for. And the battery life on this device is finally decent - not like the high-end Palms that need to be charged daily because they barely get through the day on standby... With The Missing Sync you can synchronize the device beautifully under Mac OS X and with Apple's iSync Palm Conduit you can link iCal and the Sony together via Bluetooth. Very nice. Especially since I've connected my iCal to several company calendars with a little homemade tool and can thus pull my work appointments from the Exchange server via my iCal to my Sony - and that without having to be at the office. Now I just need to figure out how to elegantly connect the Sony's camera to my blog - via GPRS of course (surfing already works, I would just need a MetaWeblogAPI client for Palm OS 5 that can also handle media). Then I could do mobile photoblogging.

«Longhorn» only for super-PCs

Well, then Microsoft will just have to hope that the 4-6 GHz processors they're envisioning come soon. Or they could finally start learning how to program decently. New OS X releases, meanwhile, got faster rather than slower from release to release.

Looks like a nice and complete blogging software for Palm OS 5 devices. It even supports media uploads via MetaWeblogAPI - though I would first have to teach that to PyDS and Wordpress before I could use it. But oh well, I have way too few projects on my plate anyway.

Vagablog - Blogging for Palm Devices

And yet another blogging software. This one also looks quite usable. It could also take care of my rather neglected Livejournal. However, it cannot upload images, that would have to be done via email beforehand.
