cheating on my “real” blog

decafbad recaffeinated is what I’m so far calling the Tinderbox-built blog with which I’m cheating on both my OPML blog and my “real” blog. Come take a look, if you’re so inclined to watch another of my experiments. (Update: It’s recaffeinated, not recaffinated. I ar gud speler.)

OPML reading lists in FeedMagick2

For anyone who’s interested: I’ve been hacking a little bit on FeedMagick2 again, with the latest addition being an OPML reading list feed blender. What’s an OPML reading list? Basically, it’s the same as as OPML export of a feed reader’s subscription list – only rather than doing a one-time import into [...]

XoxoOutliner and further outline addressing adventures

Revised the addressing code a bit, adding a few new kinds of addresses and getting ready to support sub-outline updates.

(Oh, and it is a platform, maybe more so than even emacs—don’t let the moniker ‘editor’ fool you.) Here’s the thing: It was a lot of addictive fun, and it [...]

As far as I know, the most popular link managment tool is del.icio.us, a tool I love for its power and simplicity. del.icio.us allow you to export all your links in RSS which is cool. So, I wrote a quick and dirty PHP script that converts this RSS export to an OPML list (see at [...]

Subscriptions are attention, but what about blogrolls?

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 [...]
