Blog from your Remote

Nathan Torkington suggests several plugins that could be written for the SliMP3 device. Here are two more:

1. Post an entry to a blog.

It looks like the server accepts data via the remote control keypresses. So you could write a server module to accept the text of a blog entry, then post it via XML-RPC to your blog. Of course, it would take about an hour to write a blog entry using the remote control, but that's just a minor inconvenience.

2. Display RSS feeds.

This would be slightly more useful than the first. Similar to the BBC News Ticker already written, this module could grab your RSS feeds and display new stories on the SliMP3 device screen.
