Bookmark Management

Started using del.icio.us today to do cross-computer bookmark management. I was sick of finding interesting things at work, and not being able to find them later at home. I could just do a link blog, but this way I can more easily share the love :)

Secondary storage

mbp makes some good observations about how search engines are the new interface to the web, and that any particular web site isn't read deeply but rather the whole web is read broadly. I like Martin's thought processes.

He does ask this question though:

I ask: why are you publishing anything at all? Because you want people to have the information, and/or to have the information from you.

I'd answer that by saying that the reason I publish is for my own selfish benefit. My head is small, and fills up too quickly. My website is secondary storage for my brain. If others benefit, great. If via my website I can find the exact reference to that very interesting thing that I can't find via google, then my website has achieved its purpose.

advogato

Advogato is still down :-( Disappointing as it has been, this has been a good push along to get my own weblog up and going. And SMTP. And offline-imap. etc. So when advogato comes back eventually, I might truy and do the jdub thing and mirror at both places. A little redundancy can't hurt, right?

Planet

planet.gnome.org got it's own URL - pretty cool. About time (although it might have been like that for a while and I didn't notice. Or something). While jdub wants to have contributed enough to get listed on planet debian I'd be happy getting listed on Planet GNOME :-) I know, I know, it's all about what you contribute... at least I have that goal going forward this year...
