Talking of Dave, he wrote a very poignant post today about the longevity of his content, his blog, his life’s work over on Scripting News. I had the pleasure of listening to Charlie Nesson a couple of times. Brilliant, thoughtful and inspiring.
Yesterday, I paid up another year for my server. That can’t happen forever for everyone. Hopefully one day I’ll host all at home as part of my connectivity package. Hosting aside, there’s much scripting going on around the place. I have old demos which won’t work unless I kick a cron job off again. So much dynamic content would not work without editing a config file, for example.
I have to say – that post about the RSS-buttoned phone below is now officially the most popular post on my Wordpress blog EVER. Previously, it was a post about Saddam being hanged.
So it’s official – RSS is more popular than Saddam! Hurrah!
Also, I think it’s funny when people say ‘I cant confirm this’, or ‘this could be a fake’ – I promise you this is not a fake.
I think this was one of the most important things I saw at 3GSM. This was also not the only phone I saw which had a an RSS application – but it was the only one with a dedicated button.
And no – I didn’t see any ‘My Atom’ apps. Or buttons with ‘Atom’ on it.
The only trouble I did see though, was a slight lack of knowledge about what to do with enclosures. And representing podcast.com, I have offered our assistance
This WiMAX enabled device from Samsung has an app called ‘My Feeds’ in it, which reads your RSS feed subscriptions. Also supports OPML import/export. Not podcasts yet though. But a great big RSS button!

UPDATE: I think it’s hilarious that some people question the authenticity of this image. I really have better things to do than to PShop phones
I saw the ads for this recently, while over in the States : I thought it was the new BlackBerry! I didn’t even notice the marque, while the phone was being flipped around like a deck of cards.
Well, well, well. It looked nice, that’s for sure.
BlackJack is my favourite Casino game by far.
