i (heart) ficlets, microformats, and feed scrapers

April 5, 2007 – 2:00 am

I’ve really got to reiterate / call out a few points from that last entry: I ❤ making feed scrapers, although they’re sometimes a pain. I ❤ Microformats, for making scrapers easy. I ❤ Ficlets for using Microformats and making it easy for me to use their site as an API using just XSL and HTTP GET. I’d love [...]

XoxoOutliner shows some signs of life

November 12, 2006 – 12:25 am

Remember when I started writing about XoxoOutliner around 8 months ago? Yeah, lots has happened with life in general between then and now - but lately I’ve been working on code for it again. As you might see from my Trac timeline, I’ve got lots of new code checked in. And I [...]

Reading Lists, OPML, XOXO, Semantic Web, and Tools

February 13, 2006 – 12:09 pm

Listening to this podcast about OPML and Reading Lists and enjoying the various perspectives on RSS, OPML, and Semantic Web tech. It’s also the first time I’ve heard Danny Ayers’ voice, so that was pretty cool after having been a textual blog acquaintance for a few years now. As for the rest of [...]

Subscriptions are attention, but what about blogrolls?

November 27, 2005 – 4:29 pm

But today, for my rss feeds importing and exporting needs, OPML far outshines xoxo.Yes, there are 6 XOXO outlines on my front page. There are six lists. But I don’t have an easy way to import one of those XOXO outlines in my FeedDemon application in order to receive the latest blog items from those [...]

Working on a Tripkodoo business plan tonight

October 28, 2005 – 10:32 am

Your company name:TripkodooYour company product:opml-based collaborative document editing via microformats Oh, hell. It looks like Web Two Point Oh! has nailed me on one of my stewing projects, Micronian. Sorta. Minus the OPML, really. Though, hey, Tripkodoo sounds like a cool name…

Half-hearted Gopher NG

October 3, 2005 – 6:34 pm

So, yeah, I had some spare time at lunch and I started expanding my little XOXO linked outlines thing into a more fully-fledged Gopher NG with OPML support. But, I’m not sure if I’ll really do much more with it. It started on a lark, really. But after awhile, I realized that [...]

Web directories with XOXO and XSL

October 2, 2005 – 11:50 pm

Now, in my previous post, I’d mentioned that I might have some ideas to “put up” in response to this recent OPML and web directories kerfluffle. Here’s my general idea: How about trying XOXO, the rel attribute on HTML links, and the subsection link type—all with a bit of XSL to make it work? Here’s some [...]

A kerfluffle of OPML and web directories

October 2, 2005 – 11:21 pm

So, I guess there was a bit of an extended kerfluffle over the weekend. And as these things usually do, it started out from a very cool idea: You can build a web directory as an outline of links, with some nodes “farmed out” to outlines hosted elsewhere—all through the magic of transclusion. [...]
