Another option:

If your app sees two mutually-alternate feeds, it's probably a safe bet to poll only one.

Indeed, this is another option, but not as "drastic" as a redirection...

Nice to hear that you got it working.
Did you consider putting the bootloader and kernel in a separate FAT16 partition and just having the rest of the system on a normal ext3 partition? That way, you can mount the FAT16 partition at /boot and allow kernel upgrades to be done as normal.
Your approach makes me nervous because the filesystem contents are going to change dramatically at some point in the boot process. I guess it's not a major problem in practice -- filesystems get mounted pretty early on during boot -- but it's just another thing you have to be weary of when installing/configuring software.

I did consider it.
The problem is I only know very litte about syslinux and kernel building. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get it right without following the instructions I had which did it this way. I didn't want to spend hours more trying to figure out that one bit.

When you say "it doesn't work", what exactly is happening? Is grub giving some sort of error?

Black screen. Blinking cursor at top left. Eventually a couple of new lines. Then it jumps to the windows bootloader and boots windows normally.

in help: portable, internet capable devices on revjim.net
I've been considering an EeePC, but ASUS has said that a newer model with a higher-resolution screen is on the horizon, so I've been holding out for that. Hopefully they'll add bluetooth as well; it seems like a bit of an omission for a portable computer.

Certainly! I mean, with all the stuff they packed into that little
device, what more is a bluetooth radio. I'd rather have it than a
wired ethernet port, myself.
Of course the new version will probably have a much high price point
as well -- at least at first. Which puts it into a different class all
together.

Regarding what you've said about LiveJournal, those friends of yours who don't want to get a full LiveJournal account and its associated "yet another password" could use their Yahoo!, AOL, Flickr, or likely some other account to log in to LiveJournal via OpenID. Once they've logged in once and their account has been "vivified" you can add them as a friend just like any local LiveJournal user, and they can read your friends only entries from your recent entries page.

Good point! LiveJournal is very OpenID friendly. I've never jumped
through the hoops required to make it work, but, for those
anti-another-password type people, this is a great "option B". Thanks!
