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 [...]
XoxoOutliner shows some signs of life
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 [...]
Still Seeking an Exploded Tinderbox for Tiger
This is a recurring thought: I still really, really want an exploded Tinderbox on Tiger. It could so become an über Spotlight/Finder replacement. I just don’t seem to have time or ambition to write it. I don’t mention Tinderbox very often, but I’ve got a few Tinderbox documents set as Login Items on my [...]
Half-hearted Gopher NG
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
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
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.
