A GMail-based blog With 1000 MB of entries

Jean-Luc R. writes "Via mediaTIC blog. Gallina is a GMail blog tool created by Jonathan Hernandez that uses GMail messages as "entries" (so 1000 MB of entries!!), replies to conversations are the "entry comments", uses Libgmailer (gmail-lite project) to connect to GMail. It uses XML/XSLT and by the way it's a GPL software. You can download it there. See the Gallina Demo Blog as for an example."

Actually, I've realised that one untapped source of data storage space is in Slashdot comments. Untold gigabytes of free storage space at our fingertips, just waiting to be tapped!

I've decided I'll be uploading an encrypted backup of my hard disk with my new SlashdotFS. Yeah, it's slow, yeah, it's against untold numbers of terms of service, but who cares. It's free, and it's huge!

After running that block of data hrough decryption, I've determined that block of hex is a picture of petrified Natalie Portman and hot grits.

Anyone who needs a gig of space to write down what is on his mind has a bigger problem than finding space online.

Yes, but if they use REALLY BIG FONT SIZE, that takes up more storage space!

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - September 6, 2004 - Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) announced today that they are discontinuing the popular beta trial of their "Gmail" personal e-mail service. "When we realized that Slashdot user thammond had pledged not to use the service, we decided there was no point in continuing," said Larry Page, Co-Founder & President, Products. While the service had appeared to be gaining momentum as an alternative to other free e-mail services, thammond's pledge, announced today on the popular technology news site Slashdot, made it clear to company management that there was no future in the offering. Existing users of the service will be notified early this week and Google assured concerned shareholders that "future innovations will be submitted to thammond for approval prior to release in the future."

Ah yes, I remember the morning I got my gmail account. We had just returned the hounds to the pen and stabled the horses when the ambassador arrived with my invite. I was worried it would be over run with riffraff, but after reciving assurances from the Kennedys that invitations were strictly for the better class of people, I joined up, and golly I'm happy I did.

Seriously, it took me 5 min after I read about gmail to get an account. Have you no friends? There are _millions_ of invites out there.

Of course, being a true mp3 packrat, he'll have used up the space completely so all those Cease & Desist letters will just bounce off like pebbles hitting a shield.

I thought Google already provided a free blogging service?

...and any day now I'll be able to use Blogger to store my e-mail.
