"John Robb : Unfortunately, in my opinion this area [home networks] is not ready to explode for 3-5 more years, all the factors aren't in place yet.John's right. Not enough people have multiple computers at home yet that require networking. 802.11 is cool when you get a laptop, but laptops are just starting to see enough market penetration to get interesting.What really will push home networks is when people buy a new tablet computer to go with their desktop computers. And when they need to bring laptops and pocket computers home from work."
I've always considered myself an early adopter (at least in mind if not also wallet), so I read this and think that even though multi-player gaming has done a good deal to get the ball rolling on home networks, John's right... mobile computing platforms will most likely be the driver of critical mass in this market.
"Colin Faulkingham: "The DGWS server is a lot like a Group Weblog but structured more like an actual Discussion Group."" [via ScriptingNews]
This sounds kind of what you might need if you like the collaborative aspects of weblogging, but need the structure of a DG. I can think of several uses...basically anything that isn't strictly time-based could use this. Almost Wiki-like in a sense. Very Wiki-like.
It's time to review how enclosures work. Matt Goyer asks some questions on the Radio-Dev list.
Is automatic downloading of enclosures on by default?
They are disabled by default. (See radio.init, search for user.radio.prefs.enclosures.flDownloadsEnabled.)
I subscribed to my company's feed (http://radio.weblogs.com/0104001/rss.xml) which has a MP3 enclosure in it and received that enclosure twice. I've also received the same enclosure multiple times from Adam Curry's feed.
Looks like Dave is revisting RSS Enclosures at the request of Matt from "EMWeblog" on double downloading issue. I can't offer much here. I have to trick my copy of Radio into downloads, since I'm on a dial-up behind a proxy, it makes things a bit tricky as far as automated D/Ls are concerned. That's all about to change...soon. Satellite Broadband...so cool.
Anyways...I think Dave should consider making the D/L setiings a bit more flexible. The x hours after midnight thing may have made sense back in the stone-age (2 years ago) of pre-broadband critical mass. But today, it should be a matter of when ever we choose to allow Radio to perform the D/Ls.
Holy crap! This is certainly not all that surprising in terms of technology getting increasingly smaller and smaller, but I never would have thought digital cameras as disposable.
