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 [...]

Say hello to FeedMagick2
Yeah, things have been basically silent around here thanks to post-work brain fryage and a general lack of things to say. Really, everyone else around the blogosphere seems to be covering things satisfactorily. However, I have been idly working on a new project over the past few weeks, namely a total rewrite and [...]
content sniffing sucks
If you’re using FF2.0 go here and you’ll see why.No, I don’t want to subscribe to a PHP template used to generate Atom feeds, thank you very much.Source: snellspace.com » Blog Archive » Content Sniffing Sucks I know this is just taunting the Happy Fun Ball I said I was done taunting , but there’s a [...]
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. That is, fetch a sub-branch of an outline and then later post a change to that sub-branch using the same address. Needs more thought - ie. what happens if things move between fetch [...]
XoxoOutliner and suboutline addressing
Here’s a feature I just hacked together for XoxoOutliner and plan to refine further: http://decafbad.com/2006/11/XoxoOutliner/outlines/README;text:Features?format=xoxo http://decafbad.com/2006/11/XoxoOutliner/outlines/README;id:native?format=xoxo http://decafbad.com/2006/11/XoxoOutliner/outlines/README;contains:Implement?format=xoxo Not entirely sure that this is how I want this to work, but these three URLs demonstrate the ability to address and fetch subsets of outlines. I’m hoping this will be a basis for selective transclusion in other outlines, or maybe [...]
Sometimes the lazyweb delivers with a deluge
Kellan: ” ‘… and that’s not my code.’ ouch” Eric: “Right now, the only thing we have special for Magpie RSS is that we don’t serve Atom to that user-agent if the version is 0.5.” Rasmus: “I wrote a simple little PHP 5.1-based RSS parser a while [...]
Okay, okay, JSON is pretty hot
The XML purist fanboy in me has had me pshaw‘ing at JSON. But, now that the recent JSON release from Yahoo! reminded me of its existence and I gave it a shot myself, I have to admit that it’s pretty hot—if only for the cross-domain bridging capabilities and the no-fuss parsing. Although, I do worry [...]
Templates: Good or Evil?
This cry and whine that draconian handling will break your page and make your users suffer for you if you have a single error is just another legacy of HTML we’ve gotten used to: our toolchains tend to be of the “glue strings together” (aka templates) variety. … There should never be any part of [...]
