Easy Automated Snapshot-Style Backups with Linux and Rsync: Slashdot coverage of Mike Rubel’s tutorial for backing up a system with rsync and some scripts.  The original site is here, though you might try the google cache, as the site is barely responding right now.  Mental note: read this later, Matt.

BSDatwork: I just subscribed to the sites rss feed.  It looks like a good site for *BSD info and news, and it will help keep track of The Big Picture.

PHPSlash: A Slashdot-like content management system and a great candidate for a CMS running on a web hosting provider.

Slashdot: The Blender community has raised the required 100k euros to open the source of Blender.  That’s a lot of people contributing a lot of money.

A strange little idea I had on the way home today: Movable Type on a Sharp Zaurus equipped with wireless ethernet? Or maybe Bloxsom if/when it has static publishing? Just use rsync to publish whenever the thing finds itself on a network, wireless or otherwise. Maybe that happens while you’re out Warwalking – better yet, maybe that wireless network detector you cobbled together autoblogs what it finds while in your pocket.

There is more to the blog entry.  Various thoughts on portable metadata for posting, covering news and events, lots of good brain candy.  I can’t wait until these ideas become second nature to us.
