Blast From the Past

Has anyone bothered to read the golden oldies at the bottom of the page? I set this up so that the 50 most recent posts would appear on the main page, thus guaranteeing that the two most recent columns should be in there somewhere no matter how much I run off at the... keyboard. A side effect, at least for the time being, is that there's a lot of posts from November and December of 2000 in there, the last time I regularly updated this blog. It's kind of weird reading those and realizing that the DRM and "Palm vs. Pocket PC" issues haven't changed much at all in 18 months, and that I've been "planning" on writing a fourth edition of the WOYP book for two years and still haven't gotten around to it...

BTW, the 50 posts thing is a guess that I'll fine tune over time. I want a good backlog so people who don't check the site every single day don't miss much, but I'm also mindful of channel size. I don't want this to turn into a 500k monster, especially since AvantGo still limits people to 2MB total channel size and 10MB of bandwidth a day.
