Wearable Developments

April 6th, 2003 7:51 AM

After writing about the wearable talk at OSCON several entries ago, I checked in on the status of the wearable community that I used to religiously keep up with (alas, the traffic on wear-hard became to much to handle at some point).

I’m already well into Bradley Rhodes’ Just-In-Time Information Retrieval thesis, which makes for good reading.

The remembrance agent seems to be in a nice state these days, and as a result I’m going to try really hard (again) to learn emacs to a point where I can be as efficient in it as other editors. Hopefully this will allow me to move some of my blogging, irc, email, news reading, and some web browsing activities into emacs and reap the benefits of the RA.

Also, I’m thinking about trying to prototype something similar to Anil’s panopticon with a PC104 board. Dylan over at LAFCO has a bunch of PC104 development boards lying around waiting for his 802.11 repeater work to stabalize, so I might be able to snag a couple to play with. This seems like a perfect data source for the RA.
