This is

as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

. Here I write about many things. In the past I wrote about other things but the past is past. I write code for people to play with, I write about my life on Twitter, and I write here.

On I wrote Websites on the Zaurus, on the subject of Uncategorized.

A few days ago, I wrote about iSiloWeb not being available for the Zaurus, and suggested that Opie-Reader now supports PML, and it wouldn't be too hard to write something that grabbed a whole website and converted it to PML, ready for reading on the Zaurus. So, this afternoon, I sat down and wrote such a script. But it didn't work. My lovely PML document didn't seem to get rendered with hyperlinks and whatnot. I was discouraged, frankly. Then I noticed that Opie-Reader also supports documents in Plucker format. Pow. That's all you need. plucker-build http://URL and then sync the resultant pdb file to your Zaurus. Blimey. So I can now snarf whole websites and read tham on the Z. Yay!

Hey, Sil did you run that all from the zaurus? I am trying to run plucker from the zaurus (java version) with the command “java jar ./pluckerbuild-1.2.jar” but I getjava.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: plucker-build-1/2any suggestions?Net Nut
