Spurrier leads the Washington Redskins to a 31-23 win over the Cardinals.

Ed Cone’s year after 9/11 column was posted/published today. It was a personal story amid the metanews.

Straw: A Gnome 2 desktop RSS aggregator. It is a GPL’d app written in python. It’s still in early development, but it already includes auto-rss-feed-finding. Given the author’s screenshots, it looks like the two of us share at least several feeds that we read. Good stuff.

So I had every osOpinion story since November 7, 2000 hit Radio’s RSS aggregator this morning. It was amusing and annoying.
-
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.
-
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
rsyncto 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.

My First XML-RPC App
I hacked together a quick php script this afternoon to access a Syndic8 XML-RPC method, based off of an example from Meerkat. The result:
Number of Syndic8 feeds: 16061
You can get the current output here (syn.php). I’ll post the source a little later, lame as it is.

Blinkenlights: Blib, Blinkentools, and Blinkensim. All three tools are available here.
Blib: blib is a library full of useful things to hack the Blinkenlights. If you need to read the various formats for Blinkenlights movies, want to implement the network protocol, or aim to develop a viewer/editor or simulator for the Blinkenlights, this is what you need.
Blinkentools: blinkentools is a set of commandline utilities related to Blinkenlights. It includes b2b, a converter for blinkenmovies that can apply some simple effects, b2mng, which creates MNG animations from blinkenmovies, and bsend, which sends movies over the net using the Blinkenlights network protocol.
Blinkensim: blinkensim is a graphical Blinkenlights simulator that displays the UDP packets it receives according to the Blinkenlights network protocol. It supports themes and comes with DirectFB and GTK+ backends.

Blogging Network seems to go against everything that I believe in about weblogs and their diffusion of information. Weblog information, to me, should be freely distributed to as many people as possible. I’m sure that this doesn’t fit every persons definition or ideal of a weblog, I guess I’m just an extremist. Sign in to read more, er, just kidding.
