backup to gmail?

dekay — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 19:22:25 +0000

Reading this article about a failing hard drive as well as this note Ⅰ realized that it would be pretty neat if Ⅰ had an available backup solution off-site (like somewhere on the net) for free – just to store really essential files/folders, maybe a total of 100 MB. There would be the possibility of .mac (which is quite easy and useful but not free); then there is my storage at GMX – accessible via WebDAV, but horribly slow; my webhoster (with too few space), and then there is gmail – free, 2 GB space, searchable, accessible from anywhere with a web connection. And happily all you ever need to store stuff is just a fast connection to your webserver. And a script that does the job for you – maybe with a Cocoa-GUI where you can drag & drop certain files & folders – and whoopie, they get sent to your backup gmail address daily. You can always delete stuff from gmail if necessary – or just create another backup account!.

Has anyone seen this little script/tool for OSX yet?

Trackbacking my own comments elsewehere?

dekay — Tue, 14 Jun 2005 08:02:07 +0000

Is there any way Ⅰ can collect trackbacks/pingbacks of comments Ⅰ made on other blogs?

Or some kind of tool/bookmarklet where Ⅰ can do the same thing by hand? e.g. Ⅰ create a post on my blog where Ⅰ collect all the comments Ⅰ make – and then have a bookmarklet Ⅰ open whenever Ⅰ comment somewhere and send myself this trackback?!

(Ⅰ guess this could be done with del.icio.us, but it rather feels clumsy – it feels like there should not need to be an intermediary between my comments elsewhere and my blog?!)

WordPress Plugin Request: referrer to trackback

dekay — Mon, 13 Jun 2005 16:02:25 +0000

Ⅰ am not sure if this is possible at all – but would it not be nice to have a (spam safe) way of converting incoming referrer-URLs to trackbacks/pingbacks? So you know when a blog post has been linked to on del.icio.us or so.

Make it talk to SpamKarma and ReferrerKarma, use whitelists for URLs that you would like to have added as linkbacks… something, anything?

Or maybe we can convince Joshua to have del.icio.us post a pingback including a back-link to a page that lists all users and tags the page has been filed under.

And while we are at it: is there such a thing as a trackback/pingback to just the blog and not an individual entry?

Mac Software Requests

dekay — Sat, 11 Jun 2005 12:12:11 +0000

Ⅰ was just thinking about how cool it would be to have a lazyweb-like system to get software feature requests out to mac developers (shareware, freeware as well as the folks at infinity loop).

Maybe it would be useful to start like this? Just trackback to here (http://www.dekay.org/blog/archives/mac-software-requests/trackback) and we can collect stuff for anyone to see/use? If Ⅰ find some time Ⅰ may set up a copy of Ben’s Lazyweb for this purpoose, although Ⅰ think there should be quite some other way to do this. Namely the features Ⅰ am missing are:

Tagging. Let each poster include certain tags so the whole request site is easier to browse.
Back-Linking (Lazyweb does this)
Auto-Updating (when someone changes their original posts)
Comments and threaded discussions. Have multiple authors trackback/ping the original entry and then have a threaded view on the main site.

Reinventing the lazyweb? All-right, Ⅰ admit it – Ⅰ am guilty of posting quite...

ideas for a gtd application

dekay — Tue, 17 May 2005 15:40:09 +0000

When you remove/do an action that is part of a project the next action in that project’s queue of actions shows up on your @next_actions list. Don’t make it too fancy and just have a simple action list sorted – no dependancies or any other fancy stuff – maybe a due date and even a start date (before which the action doesnt show up)
