Our ReplayTV box is really old and has very little capacity. But, I do like their “MyReplayTV” service which lets you program your box remotely from a web interface. Here I am on vacation in Tahoe and I just set my box to record the Nascar race on Saturday. Life is good! Update 2003-07-06: Well, MyReplayTV is reallly cool if your ReplayTV box is successfully calling their servers each night, which mine was not :(
Or…things to check out after vacation. Rasterweb shows how to hack AmphetaDesk to use <guid> elements, if they exist Textile-2 coming soon (Brad Choate working with Dean Allan) — I've been using MT-Textile and have found it extremely useful — no more writing HTML tags for my post to ensure it's formatted correctly Bill Kearney has a list of sidebars for Windows
Morbus Iff comments on the Subscriptions Harmonizer and brings up good points about using OPML as the transfer formats. This just focuses on the aggregator possibilities, and doesn’t consider OPML sniffers that could create blog “six-degree” communities (based on XML, as opposed to scraping blogroll HTML). Is there a standard convention for linking to your site’s blogroll and/or subscriptions list? I’ve seen some discussion about this but need to dig a little further. In my case my blogroll and subscriptions list are the same, but I can see where they might be different.
Zempt 0.3 was just released yesterday and includes a whole bunch of changes including offline operation, spell checking, and better account management. It also includes plugins for Winamp and Windows Media player which will insert your current song in your web post. Currently, I'm not listening to anything :(, so it doesn't matter. But it's still cool.
Dave Winer is sketching out a concept for a Subscriptions Harmonizer web service. The idea is to keep your aggregators in sync with each other when run from multiple locations (home, office, laptop, etc.). I commented that my old FTPStore hack for AmphetaDesk is quite similar. Cool, Dave linked to my comment. If anyone arriving here from Dave's site wants to give FTPStore a try, go for it.
