    If you have Mono or .Net, there's http://www.mp3vcr.com/ljsec/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/ljarchive/

    If you use Python, there's http://hewgill.com/software/ljdump/

    LJArchive and LJDump both make backups of your LJ account. LJ-Sec allows you to copy your LJ account from one service to another, as long as both use the LJ software.

  3. Strike A New POSE by FrankDrebin · · Score: 4 · on Palm to Shift to ARM Processor

    The shift to ARM will mean of course incompatible binaries for all those vendor-supplied and open-source projects. Generally not too big a deal since there are lots of tools for ARM (gcc supports cross-compiling to ARM of course).

    But, perhaps more interestingly, a new version of POSE is required. Development of the original POSE (nee CoPilot) is a fascinating story of reverse-engineering, ingenuity, and personal persistence of Greg Hewgill. Do a Google search for 13hewgil.pdf for an interesting account.

    Let's hope Palm publishes the data sheet for the chip they're using -- unlike the originally secret Dragonball -- so POSE can be implemented for the new architecture without too much headache.

    In response to your wish list: Voice Reconition will come along when they make a mic input for the Palm.
