Me : Eatdrinkfeelgood perl-tools 0.1

I've uploaded an initial release of the Perl widgets, I mentioned earlier for doing fun stuff with Eatdrinkfeelgood documents. Included are tools for reading docs, for generating index-card sized PDF files from one, or more, docs and a mod_perl handler to render recipes and directory indices. There's also a demo of the mod_perl handler available for viewing, though some IE (Win) bugs remain. ... This is still in the early-going stages. Proper docs are still few and far between, although everything has a minimum of POD.

Simson Garfinkel : "Understanding the uses and power of sync is vital

for accurately predicting the direction that the Internet and e-commerce are likely to grow. Most people like the safety that comes from having data in multiple locations, and the speed that comes from having the data immediately available on their own computers. Products and services that offer sync, therefore, will probably fare better in the marketplace than similarly priced services that offer high-speed access to data stored on remote systems. People don't want to just tap into a data stream; they want to have their own copy of the information, and they want it kept up-to-date.
