MyStack.Com
This seems worth a try when I get chance, it seems similiart to Furl, in that I think you can create lists of links. However, instead of a storage area on an independent website. MyStack seems to create html you can paste into your blog.
So if this interests you, don't wait for my lead, just give a whirl!

Globelogger: "It is often said that the Internet was designed to continue functioning even in the event of nuclear war. Recently, Google dropped on Atom bomb on the crowded marketplace of weblogging. Here's how the Internet routes around the damage." [Scripting News]

BMOC: RSS at CIL!.
Weblogs and RSS are Hot Topics
"The most striking observation from two days at the CIL conference is that THE hot topics of conversation are Weblogs and RSS. I can't tell you how many times I overheard people taking about blogging or asking questions about RSS. There were no fewer than eight opportunities to learn about these technologies, and there were at least 200 people at Jenny's presentation yesterday on the wonders of RSS. I really get the sense that the news is starting to spread faster and faster. It's pretty cool to watch, as always...." [Weblogg-ed News]
Agreed! In fact, I ended up doing a 45-minute intro to RSS yesterday because so many of the presenters were talking about RSS but no one had really defined it. A lot of light bulbs yesterday!
In fact, I have a new goal for the Internet Librarian conference in California in November. When I do my next presentation about RSS there, I want to be able to highlight the following services:
- An OPAC vendor that provides native RSS feeds (with a wizard-like administrative interface that lets librarians choose which subjetcs and authors feeds they will provide);
- A third party database aggregator (like ProQuest, EBSCOhost, FirstSearch, etc.) that is offering saved RSS searches to which library patrons can subscribe, combined with library barcode authentication in the major news aggregator software.
- An RSS feed (including one for keyword search) from one of the major print trade journals (Library Journal and American Libraries, I'm looking at you!).
- An RSS feed of new additions from a library's digital collection, whether it be for images, audio, or video.
If your organization is interested in being the one to do this first and get all of the glory, please contact me! [The Shifted Librarian]

Homemade Embedded BSD Systems. BSD runs nicely on older PCs, but they can be noisy and time-consuming to set up. Worse yet, the hardware may be at the end of its life. Is there a better alternative to dedicated (and closed) hardware devices? Michael Lucas demonstrates using BSD on a low-power, low-fuss Soekris box. [O'Reilly Network ONJava.com]

OSBC 2004-Open Source Business Conference
WOW! What a concept making money with Linux, YIKES, hold onto your hats folks, this earth shattering concept now has a new conference!!!!
from their website:
"The Open Source Business Conference ("OSBC") is the only concerted effort to address and answer the question of how to build a business around OSS. Over the course of the two-day conference, attendees will interact with the brightest thinkers and most innovative practitioners in open source business today. Attendees will leave with both a deeper appreciation of the voids remaining in the OSS arsenal, and a fuller understanding of how to resolve these gaps to build sustainable, higher-margin OSS businesses."
