On the palm pilot front I'm using sitescooper which automatically retreives webpages and trims html. This is a great utility written in perl and I have all the sites of interest scanned every morning at 5am. Then I use warmsynch to synch the webpage up to my palm pilot at 5:30am. Fantastic for keeping up with the latest news.
For those that are interested i added a couple more links to an earlier diary showing advogato articles of interest to my phd research
FOAF updates: Trust rankings are now exported, making the data available to other users and websites. An external FOAF URI has been added, allowing users to link to an additional FOAF file.
Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
