Hey Jess, does the iPod touch do internet at all? I know iTunes doesn't have any games for the iPhone or iPod touch yet, so there's nothing native you can put on there yet (as far as I know, I only know the iPhone so far), but I know there's a couple of web pages out there with iPhone web apps/games, so if the iPod touch does internet in any way, you can find quite a few games for it that way.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

once a minute? you need an RSS feed of the page.
this is good, but I don't think it updates that frequently:

Hey Jess, does the iPod touch do internet at all?
That's one of its main selling points! It has wifi. It's an iPhone, without the phone.

Oh, and apparently you can put native games on your iPod touch, if you're willing to hack it. Something I am utterly unwilling to do with my iPhone.

I thought so. So yeah, Google "iPod touch web games." there's a few out there, including Bejeweled, and a few solitaire games (though I don't remember if I've seen Freecell out there anywhere).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, and apparently you can put native games on your iPod touch, if you're willing to hack it.
You can also install widgets on an iPod touch. (I'm pretty sure, anyway.) Or maybe only widgets based on HTML and Javascript. There are some Javascript games that run on web pages out there....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have an IP address I'm supposed to publish something to, but there's an additional bit of information attached.
It looks like this: xxx.xxx.xx.xx:8000/foldername
I assume the folder name is the name on the server, but I don't know what the 8000 is, and I don't know how to google for it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The :8000 is the TCP port number. It means that the HTTP server is listening on a different port than the standard port 80. The person who gave you the IP address left out the http part, so it should look like [link] Whatever tool you're using to upload the file should recognize the :8000 part of the URL.

No, that was me. I skipped it so it would display properly.
Thanks, Tom. I also don't have any kind of user name or password. I suppose it's unlikely that I can just FTP in.

Hey Jess, does the iPod touch do internet at all?
Yes, it has Wifi. I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to find an unsecured wireless network to connect to at work all day. (Because it's my birthday and my boss is out of the office. Motivation to do actual work = GONE.)
I'll Google when I'm back at home & can get online with it.
In the meantime, it's sure as hell one pretty pretty iPod.
