Various Geeky Bits

Sam wants a way to be noti­fied by email when cer­tain peo­ple update their jour­nals. I think that would be nifty. I found one entry in lj-nifty talk­ing about Bloglet, but 1) that requires that the jour­nal own­er sub­scribe and cre­ate a mail­ing list for the updates, and 2) their sign-up form isn’t working.

Does any­body know of such a ser­vice out there?

Also, we’re still in hard­ware hell here. Sam’s cell phone just stopped work­ing yes­ter­day for rea­sons unknown, but he did­n’t get out to the repair/service place in time today to get it fixed or replaced. So he isn’t ignor­ing any­one, he’s just hard­er to reach at the moment.
