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 [...]

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 [...]

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

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 [...]

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. [...]
