Just going back over the all-too-sparse blog entries previous, a little updating is in order.

Short version: Belkin sucks.

Notes for managing my life.

- PHP/MySQL app to catch and re-present bookmarks
- Save through a bookmarklet, minimize security overhead
- Variety of presenttion formats: by time, by popularity (aggregator), random 10, random 100

- SL attachment logs where you go and what you see to a website
- Present aggregate information: popular places, popular people
- Security - avatar name extracted from email, thus protected by SL login mechanism
- Minimal intelligence in the attachment; put intel in back-end in PHP
--- Minimize maintenance reuirements
----- rarely distribute software updates; attachment/kiosk software is dead simple, complexity resides on server
- communicate with server via http requests
--- Change URL as protocol changes
- Push-to-client via email, rarely (update notifications?)
- Rezzed object in-world, reminds the user when they are not wearing thier attachment;

The day is more or less done. I just pulled off my shoes, and as the left one came off, I heard something inside it that sounded like falling sand. I upended my shoe over the trash can... and emptied out a pinch of volcanic dust.

Skreme is an open-source, cross-platform rapid development environment that uses the Scheme programming language (possibly using the Guile implementation, licensing permitting). It is intended to be a successor to Tcl/Tk, and to embrace the same sort of problem domain as Hypercard.
