Online Software for the Kirk Friendly Masses
Ok, I've finished up a revamp of k/link, my online bookmark system.
This new system is multiuser! Basically, if you think you count as
a "Friend of Kirk" drop me a line, and I'll set you up with your own
username and password, and you can keep your links online.
K/link has the following features:
- Have the same set of bookmarks at home, work, school, anywhere you
have a 'Net connection
- Add a comment to any bookmark (I think it's nice to annotate a link without having to jam it in the link itself)
- An easy 'category'/'subcategory' system lets you easily organize bookmarks in one step, at bookmark creation
- For IE users: a javascript 'bookmarklet' lets you add a single 'Favorite' that grabs the URL, title, and any selected text and stuffs it into the edit form
- Autogeneration of a non-password protected static version of your bookmarks collection. (Like mine!)
I've used a previous, one-user version of this script for years and am very happy with it (although it's not as important as it used to be in my pre-Blog days). Some other people grabbed and started using it too. And you can 'try before you buy'. Go to http://alienbill.com/klink/edit/ with "test" for the username and password. Feel free to add new links, and edit or delete some existing ones (don't go crazy on the deleting, for obvious reasons.) The resulting static page will be at http://alienbill.com/klink/page/test.html. Like I said, if I know you, and you're interested, drop me a line and I'll give you your own account.

(Nothing else was on...man, did you know those guys had the power to bring aliens back from the dead and repair space station interiors just by linking hands and, I dunno, thinking about it?)
