It had to happen some day:
GmailFS - Gmail Filesystem
GmailFS provides a mountable Linux filesystem which uses your Gmail account as its storage medium. GmailFS is a Python application and uses the FUSE userland filesystem infrastructure to help provide the filesystem, and libgmail to communicate with Gmail.
Good news for all the Star War fans as it seems George Lucas is open to the possibility of shooting the sequels of this sci-fi saga after all. I just hope he doens’t ruin it by coming up with a new Jar Jar Binks…
Nuno pointed me to del.icio.us, a social bookmark manager that allows people to post their bookmarks, categorize them using keywords and browse other peoples bookmarks.
You can easily find who else linked to your bookmarks, what interesting link other users have on a particular subject, popular links, etc … And it also has RSS feeds for several bookmark lists (personal, category, popular, …). Nuno also recomended this nice bookmarklet to use with del.icio.us that stores your keywords amongst other things.
You can find me there at http://del.icio.us/arestivo (still only a few links)
Anne van Kesteren has a nice description of the perfect weblog system:
The perfect weblog system
If I’m ever going to write a weblog, or someone else is going to write one I’m going to use, here is an outline of what it should (or must) have. Inspiration comes from an article of Henri Sivonen: Outlining the Ultimate Blogging Server and various people: Asbjørn Ulsberg, Mark Wubben and Robbert Broersma. I was going to use a definition list, but dropped that option in favor of the unordered list, since that seems to be used for this kind of things. I hope your screen is wide enough.
I liked this idea the most:
People who comment should be allowed to edit their comments one time within ten minutes, based on a cookie. Their original comment should be stored and a diff may be made available to the user (optional).
What about this really small bluetooth web server running Linux Kernel 2.6? It accepts MMC cards but it should work with external usb hard-drives too.
Think of the possibilities it brings …
