RSS feed broken today, sorry
Last night I hacked the code that generates the archive web
pages for my weblog (or whatever it is this site is) so that the
headings of the supplementary articles also have link anchors.
In the process I broke my RSS feed slightly—it got
confused by the id tags. (while remaining
technically valid
according to the RSS validator). This has now been fixed,
so that (a) all articles have an HTML link target and
(b) all articles are linked to from the RSS feed.
Small objects of desire
I’have had a Palm 3 for some time
(creaky old 2-MB model). I used to say that when I upgraded
it, I wanted that to be next upgrade for my phone, as
well. That product now exists in the form of
the 
Handspring
Treo, a compact palmtop with a phone built in, and
Jo
has one. Sadly Handspring don’t consider Grafitti an
asset in a device aimed at non-Palm-users, so the 180g has
already been air-brushed out of history in favour of its
keyboard-sporting cousin. The problem is the Treo does cost
rather a lot more than, say, Adrian’s entry-level 
Sony
Clié, which is similarly compact and has a high-res
screen. I really don’t know which I would prefer as
the successor to my clunky old Palm 3.
Actually the fact is I don’t need to replace my disfunctional old Palm 3; I frankly don’t use very much, not the way Jo and Jeremy use theirs. Its main failing is not its memory size but its size—justa little bit bigger than pocket sized (unlike both the Clié and the Treo). I have admitedly upgraded my Alcatel Max DB phone (the same model that caused mpt so much confusion) for its smaller successor the 311, but that is still one of Virgin’s cheapest handsets and I only rarely use the thing. I have absolutely no need to upgrade either of them. Annoyingly.
