The ridiculously productive Ben Hammersley is proposing a LazyWeb (that was one of his) project: personalised weather forecasts delivered to your MP3 player from some (probably) XML-based source of weather information on the web, via a text-to-speech convertor to a podcast.
In the course of trying to tidy up cloudsoup a little I noticed that my RSS feeds’ contents weren’t formatted nicely in my News Reader - SharpReader. Not a Sharpreader problem it turns out, but (I think) a Wordpress problem.
Logged on to Dreamhost to initialise Jabber IM and I noticed that they’re offering, by default, an easy Wordpress weblog setup. How excellent is that (clue, very excellent).
Since I started with Dreamhost a few years ago I’ve had nothig but fantastic help from them and, where they’re a bit slow to upgrade server software, they’re doing it because they’re being very, very careful. Can’t recommend them more highly.
