Barney's blog. Just a load of old shite really.


Spy Another Day. Well, being a bit of a gadgeteer and a Linux fan, I couldn't not blog it could I? ;)
This is a quirky site to launch the Realm MPS (mobile personal server). If you're a geek and you have broadband, check out the movies - they're fairly entertaining in parts.
The Realm MPS looks like a real innovation to me; people have had Linux on a USB memory stick for a while, or you could boot a Linux liveCD and use a USB pendrive for your home directory. Either of these mean you have your mail, bookmarks and so on with you and can use them securely and privately on most modern PC's, but it's been firmly in the realm of the uber-geeks so far - none of it is easy.
What the Realm MPS seems to offer is an enterprise solution only for now; you connect to a central server over the internet when you use it. However, it's user-friendly and it seems to me that there might be a market of non-enterprise users interested in a simple and secure portable computer of this type, in the same way that there are lots of non-enterprise Blackberry users.
If that comes about, this would be a pretty cool device to have for a toy.
