Pluti asked me something interesting about GMail last week. He asked me if I had an easy way to transfer all his mail, from all his accounts, onto Gmail. Of course, I thought. I should do that every month, and use GMail as an available-anywhere archive of every post I sent and received from anywhere.

As part of my ongoing project to move everything into the cloud, I have been looking for powerful and reliable online financial organisers and password protectors.

I am embarking on an experiment to customise an ultramobile pc to act as a cloud computer. My intention is to have something that will replace my old PDA; function as a calendar and address book, as a notepad and journal; yet do this (as far as possible) using SaaS and cloud storage. My aim is to create another proof-of-concept for a larger project that I am researching: the memi, an extension of memory.

In March, while we were in Mumbai, the rest of the family each bought an Asus eeePC, and they have proved very easy to use and very reliable. I decided to wait because I suspected that the screen (which is 800 x 400) would be too smal for my needs. Now I am spoiled for choice.
