- NewLC brings news that Nokia has updated some of their tools and SDKs to work with Eclipse. At the moment the new tools are only available to Forum Nokia PRO members. Those of us in steerage will have to wait a month or so.
- MacRumors has some live IRC coverage of WWDC, though there will be no stream of Steve Jobs’ keynote. Everybody is foaming at the mouth for new hardware, but sheesh, it’s a freaking developers conference.
- PocketPc Thoughts has news that Windows CE 5.0 is due out July 9. Move over Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition, hello Pocket PC 2004.
- SOAP Message Transmission Oprimization Mechanism. Blah blah blah.
- There will be some cool JXTA demos at JavaOne.
- /me wants Nano-ITX
- Another JavaOne announcemenet: somethingme.com
- Sun and Nokia are talking about Java and three gee.
- This gmail notifier looks slick.
- Via Nelson, there should be something for everybody in this collection of quick reference cards.
- Java3D is now open source.
- Light reading for later: Developing with Web Standards.
- This 9500 review makes me wish I could blow a grand on a phone. In 3-4 years when it’s obsolete, hopefully I can buy one inexpensively from craigslist. Just like my 9290.

INSERT CD
Via DistroWatch, INSERT stands for Inside Security Rescue Toolkit. It is based on Knoppix and looks like a solid distro for recovery, security audits, antivirus checking, and more. It’s based on Knoppix 3.4 and uses the 2.6 kernel. It looks like it can handle just about any filesystem that you would normally need, including NTFS.
It is a lightweight (about 50 megs) distro, but packs a bunch of programs in. I have not had a chance to give this distro a try, but I’m definitely going to download it and check it out.
