he will become docile after that,

Sandwich, I'd consider reading your blog if you RSSed, so I could pluck it to my PDA in a reasonable fashion. ;)

Some hints, though: when you link an article (like the Political Correctness one), you should quote a short segment of it, and make a short narrative comment. Not only does it let the usual readers know what you're thinking, but it also lets PDA readers know if its a link they should mark for laying snagging.

:D

The link's right there on the left, Mik. RDF = RSS for such intents and purposes. :)

And good point about the article linkage - taken to heart, and about to be fixored fixed. ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

No,, Sandwich, its not the same thing. Sure, I can grab that RDF as a stream and get the highlights, but that's not terribly useful on a mobile device.

Some blogs syndicate the entire blog content for X number of days via the RSS. THAT is what I'm after. Looking at the RDF you have linked up, it does not appear to include entry bodies.

After I get back from this job interview, I'll check it and let you know what I find out.

Ahh, gotcha. I still have to try and understand the way MovableType works and all, but for now, I've set up the RSS 2.0 feed to have full descriptions, not just excerpts.

Okay, Sandwich, it seems to Pluck well. There's some issues with linked articles, but those are on the plucking end, not your end. I may need to dedicate one of my large SD cards to plucked blogs if I'm going to do this with more than one or two blogs AND want to get the articles they reference as well as the blogs themselves.

"Pluck"? I assume that's the newsreader your handheld has. ;)

No, Plucker is a sort of spider/file-converter for creating a uniform formatted-document format for handheld devices. Its also the name of the client that will do the plucking. One of the nice things about plucker is that the results of plucking a channel, blog, or website is a single fairly compact file. You can specify whether it grabs image content, and if it will convert/downsample/resize the images, and what the various results of those conversions will be.

I use OPIE-Reader on my PDA (a Sharp Zaurus), which will read Plucker format files.

One of my SD cards has plucked versions of six ORA Perl references (from the PERL CD BOOKSHELF), four or five ORA systems administration references (from the NETWORKING CD BOOKSHELF), and most of the Baen Free Library (the frameless versions of the books). Its pretty tight. I'm NEVER bored as long as I've got my PDA. ;)

I was going to do a blog a while ago, but realised I wasn't particularly popular or had many friends, so I decided a journal was in order. Then, I decided the whole idea was queer in itself.
