Dojo offline toolkit
The dojo folks are working on a toolkit to allow offline use of web apps. It’s starting, interestingly, with a set of mockups. Worth looking at.
Flickr backup
As a followup to my previous post on the topic of Flickr backups, I thought I’d mention that I’ve been working on such a tool (written in Python) since all of the GUI-based apps I found didn’t deal well with large numbers of photos, and because it’s fun anyway. I’m ironing out some bugs, and [...]
Information Overload
The icons above correspond to the applications I use to get information: podcasts (iTunes), email and the web (Firefox), email and source code changes (Thunderbird), IRC conversations (Colloquy), instant messaging (Adium), and blogs (NetNewsWire).

Experimenting with home page

One of the things people often say about Canadians is that they’re kind and polite. That’s true as a rule, but in some cases it’s also true in exceptional circumstances. We came back from a two-week vacation to find that our bikes had been stolen from our garage. Not good. This was a fairly sophisticated [...]
Lazyweb: Incremental Flickr Backup Solution Anyone?
Oh lazyweb: Does anyone know of a working incremental flickr backup system? I have used Net::Flickr::Backup once (after much fighting with Perl), but it hasn’t been updated to work with the new Net::Flickr::API, IIRC.
