PODS, or the Palm Open Directory System/Syndicate (name still
subject to change) is a system I am maturing and designing which scrapes
websites for these Palm-formatted URLs and stores them in a mysql database.
It has an XML frontend which can be used for many things, mostly used right
now internally for my curiosities, but will be a full blown content
gathering and conversion system when I'm done. Still lots of work to go.
Incidentally, this system will either go live very very soon, to
shortcut something "Our Friends(tm)" are trying to do to stop this type of
content from becoming public, or all of the links contained within it will
simply "appear" on a newsgroup somewhere, and then it will spread from
there.
Read back on the archives a bit here, and you'll see me mentioning
it a few previous times. Right now it's very skeletoneous, and only contains
the browse/edit/management web front-ends, and the mysql database with about
540 urls in it now. I had to prune some urls out when I found they were dead
links since the time I first gathered them.
