JPluck 0.9 beta 2
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=255030
JPluck is Java-based toolkit for creating Plucker (a popular PalmOS document format) documents. It includes the easy-to-use JPluck X GUI for managing and downloading sites. Beta 2 has several important improvements including a scheduling system, improved Windows HotSync, and conversion of documents to XML for postprocessing. - New: Scheduling Documents can now be scheduled for conversion on specific days of the week and times of the day. More information on the special Scheduling page. (See the Manual section on the site.) - Improved Windows HotSync conduit The conduit has been upgraded significantly and is now part of the main distribution. The big improvement is that PDBs can be synced to RAM right after they have been generated, while the rest of the documents are downloaded and queued in parallel. This can greatly reduce HotSync time when you convert multiple documents, especially on a serial or IR connection. The second improvement is that you can instruct the conduit to convert only scheduled and due documents. Finally, the Windows installer now registers the conduit automatically. (Note that the conduit cannot sync PDBs to memory cards yet. Documents meant to be stored on memory cards are still synced at the end of the HotSync process. This will be addressed shortly.) - New: Broken links handling Links to pages that are not present in the resulting Plucker document can be given a distinct color or removed from the document altogether. - New: HTML to XML conversion dialog This feature is meant for developers who want to create XSLT stylesheets to transform HTML pages. Simply specify a filename or URL and JPluck automatically retrieves the HTML page and converts it to well-formed XML. You can then paste this XML into a dedicated XSLT editor and develop stylesheets there. - Improved character handling JPluck now translates Unicode entities to the PalmLatin character set where possible. Examples include the curly quotes, the promille, the ellipsis and the Euro. - Improved logging JPluck C can now send log messages to standard out, a log file and the progress window simultaneously. JPluck X can now automatically save messages to a global log file and/or to a JXL-specific local log file. - Miscellaneous Added the ability to override the user agent on a per-Document basis. Added the option to specify the HotSync destination on a per-Document basis. Made several interface improvements.

"A new technology will soon [4]enable scents to be woven into fabrics.
The technology, called Sensory Perception Technologies (SPT), will

directly into fabrics. Scented tiny droplets contained inside miniature
waterproof particles are woven into fabrics to be released upon
activation by movement or touch. The fabrics are dry cleanable and
machine washable."

Microsoft Fights to Weaken Washington Anti-Spam Law http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/25/2057236
An anonymous reader writes "According to the Seattle Times, Microsoft
(probably their MSN arm) is pushing for a change in at least
Washington's anti-spam law. Some analysts claim that the changes
contain [0]holes that will allow Microsoft to be exempt from the law."
Odd that Microsoft is simultaneously trying to stop spam sent to
Hotmail users, and to make sure that it can send unsolicited commercial
email without penalties.
