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.

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!

I'm currently available for hire, to help you plan, architect, and build new systems, and for technical writing
and articles. You can take a look at some projects I've worked on and
some of my writing. If you'd like to talk about your upcoming project,
