So, here's the thing: I'm getting tired of having lots of stuff scattered all over.  Question: how can I adequately combine stuff together?  I want to manage my sites through Radio.  What's the best way to do that?

I'm thinking some sort of Radio to something via XMLRPC.  Things is I need to preserve a number of unique domains.  I have Manila, but it ain't real happy with multiple domains at the moment.

I'm sure that the bloggerManila bridge tool is the key here.  I just need to get pointed to the right spot.

Department of Justice Blogs. Thanks to Inter Alia & Blawg.org for pointing to a story about Department of Justice use of blogs. Here's the lead:
Often, Justice Department analysts and law enforcement officials share what they know about narcotics dealers and terrorists by trading e-mails. But this informal information exchange can be messy: E-mail servers quickly fill up with duplicate copies sent to multiple recipients. No one is usually tasked with keeping a central repository of all the documents and the comments they generate. So one regional office of the Justice Department has put a Weblog onto its intranet for people to share this information in one central location.

Weblogs are Web pages where links or short comments are posted. Because they are easier to update than static Web pages, new information is posted more frequently. Now, agents can use a Web browser to peruse and comment on what others have posted or add information themselves.

Excellent application.  As blogs move more and more into the legal world, law schools are going to need to deal with them.

Jesse Ross: Cloning a computer with free software. [Scripting News]

Uses fdisk and dd and a bootable CD.  Knoppix would do the trick.  Another potential application for the CALI utility CD.

AP: "Harvard Law School is planning to put more than a million documents from the Nuremberg trials on the Internet, allowing ready access to records of hearings into the war crimes of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich." [Scripting News]

Been following this effort for a couple of years now, good to see it get some press.  Perhaps it will lead to some $$$.

The position paper, which casts doubt on SCO's position, was authored by one of the world's leading legal experts on copyright law as applied to software, Professor Eben Moglen of Columbia University."

A good paper and a must read for anyone concerned about the impact of SCO's license scheme on Linux users.
