Take one or more RSS feeds, add them, select a schedule! You get emailed a PDF.
Interesting alpha. Needs a way to limit the amount of RSS feed it takes. Like a daily take, should limit it to a day.
Maybe?

TECHNOLOGY: “Online Profits” attempt to teach inet money making
Tuesday, January 13, 2009Online Profits
*** begin quote ***
Many people wrote emails to congratulate me for the launch of the Online Profits training program, saying that they think it is a excellent course, and that they would love to join, but they don’t have the funds to be able to.
Thinking about that I decided to run a contest giving away 10 free memberships (each one worth $288). Those free memberships will give you full access to the training program for 6 months.
*** and ***
Join the Most Complete Internet Marketing and Online Business Training Program, and Make 2009 Your Best Year Ever!
* Learn all the facets of Internet marketing
* Create your own online business
* Take your existing projects and websites to the next level
* Discover the tools and strategies that you need to succeed
* Get access to a vibrant community of Internet marketers and entrepreneurs
*** end quote ***
No secret: I’m cheap. If I won six months free I’d explore it.
Paying 300$, I’m not so sure.
Maybe if I was a young risk taker, I’d jump on it.
Now, I’m always concerned about a “Mad Dog” (i.e., a faud). In this case, I’ve been reading some of these folks for more than a year and I think they are serious and believable. I AM concerned that (1) I’m untrainable; (2) I can’t do it; and 93) I might not WANT to do it.
Argh!
YMMV!

Microsoft Tag is supposed to make it easy for you using your mobile phone to get to “something”.

TECH PRODUCT: Kodak Frame gets an “NR” from a trusted blogger source
Friday, January 9, 2009http://www.gadgetspage.com/misc/review-kodak-easy-share-wireless-picture-frame.html
Review: Kodak Easy Share Wireless Picture Frame
from Gadgets Page by Matthew Strebe
*** begin quote ***
Kodak EasyShare W1020 10-Inch Wireless Digital Frame at Amazon.comI purchased the Kodak Easy Share Wireless Picture Frame with a specific purpose in mind: I wanted to immediately transfer motion sensor triggered photos from my Panasonic network camera at my front door onto a screen up stairs so we could see who was at the door before going downstairs to answer it.
{Extraneous Deleted}
Unfortunately, the love ended pretty early for this frame. Without fail, the wireless frame detached from my wifi-network after about two hours and stopped displaying anything, refusing to reconnect to the network until it was disconnected from power and restarted. It always reconnected immediately, which indicates that the problem is with the frame, not with the network (none of my other wireless devices have this problem). This problem makes it impossible for me to recommend this wireless frame until a firmware update that correctly addresses reconnecting to the network automatically is available.
*** end quote ***
This reminds me of the annoying “Continually Reconnect” to the home wifi network behavior that MCBA (Mac Book Air) exhibits.
(For which, I will be stopping by at the Apple Genius Bar next week to grouse about.)
I also rate anything that doesn’t work as “Not Recommended!”
Hopefully, if all bloggers pass this along, KODAK might get the message.
(But I doubt it. Business are tin eared! Look at their stock price and you can see the result!)

TECHNOLOGY: Don’t beleive tech support
Tuesday, January 6, 2009Over on FACEBOOK, a fellow alum reported trouble connecting a Belkin Wireless Card to his home LAN.
*** begin quote ***
TRYING to get Elizabeth’s new wireless card working- Windows sucks!
*** end quote ***
I had given him the following advice.
*** begin quote ***
Suggest downloading and burning the latest UBUNTU distribution. Run it as “LIVE” boot up disk. (As opposed to installing it.) THis will quickly connect to the home lan and tell you, for sure, that it is WINDOZE. That’s good confimation to have. When I have WINDOZE problems like that, I delete everything in sight. And the REBOOT cold three times. (Three times is essential, imho, because it keeps stuff around until it is purged out.) Then, magically, let WINDOZE rebuild the hardware images. WINDOZE does (magically) bring itself back from the dead. No chicken etrails required.
*** end quote ***
He reported:
*** begin quote ***
“The computer had Windows XP from 2002 with no service packs. Even though Belkin said this wouldn’t matter- it did. I used an older wirless G card from another PC to connect to the router, ran the Microsoft XP updates and then put back the new card and it then worked fine.”
*** end quote ***
Argh!
I never thought about the Service Packs.
I responded:
*** begin quote ***
Thanks, Don. It’s the “after action” report with “lessons learned”. I was interested in. (I admit I thought you were still playing with it.) Interesting. I have a general problem with Microsoft Service Packs in that they apply “lots” of fixes. And, there usually on the tricky ones “no retreat” possible. It’s one reason, I have left the “Dark Empire” for good with respect to my “home” computing. An employer paying me can use what ever foolishness they want. I’m happy to collect a paycheck “checking chicken entrails” on Windoze. Personally, I just want stuff that works like the old telephone – cheap, flawlessly, every time, without thought. :-) Well at least that’s the illusion.
*** end quote ***
I still don’t like Service Packs due to the “sometimes you can’t go home again” nature of some of the fixes they apply.
That and the one size fits all nature.
And, you can’t “test”. We’re talking about most folks’ production environment now. You apply it and it breaks stuff, you’re screwed.
Argh!

SERVICE: Flash cards on the web
Monday, January 5, 2009http://www.emilychang.com/go/ehub/app/cramberry/

Cramberry
A web app that helps people (students, actors, or anyone else) memorize things (schoolwork, lines in a play, etc.) using flashcards. Users create a blank “set” of flashcards, then name the set, and start adding cards to the set. Once you’re ready, the app presents these cards to you in a random order so you can answer the cards.
*** end quote ***
Tried it. One link wrong on their main page. But it does work.
Needs maturation.
(1) No export. (2) No way to monetize your sets of flash cards.
Interesting concept.

TECHNOLOGY: dot com name gets jumped and “tasted”
Sunday, January 4, 2009I sought to register “technologyforbusiness” dot com. BLUEHOST reported it “available”. So I was proceeding to close on it. Your system reset? And, now it’s not available. From my 1and1 account I see it’s for sale for 1288$. Please explain?
# – # – #
Bottom line: The interest in the domain trigger a bot at one of the Domain Register that “seized” it. Domain Registrars are allow to reserve, or “taste”, domain names without paying for them for a week. It’s basically fraud. It was intended to allow registrars to hold the name while the applicant completed the transactions. Now it’s used to “front run”. On Wall Street, a trader would go to jail. On the internet, it’s a profit center.
Argh!
The laugh is that I don’t need the name!
