posts brought to you by the category “francophonie”

Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.

Simon Cozens : Apache::OneTimeURL.pm

[A]lthough I can't really control what people do with the HTML when they download it, I can damned well ensure that URLs in mail I send don't end up on the web and being a liability.

Stewart Butterfield : "Caterina and I will also IM, even when we are laying on the same bed with laptops open."

This brings a whole new level of convenience-cum-laziness, normally reserved for consumer goods like fridges and bread makers, to personal relationships that I'm not sure is particularly healthy.

I think I may start a website where you can enter the name/id of a big box supermarket

and have it return a list of smaller, mom-and-pop, food stores within a given radius. And to the RDF weenies, I know this is what RDF is supposed to be all about. In theory it should be trivial to set this up using stuff like the SMBmeta and GeoURL widgets. But fuct if I can figure out how .

Kate L. Pugh : OpenGuides

The OpenGuides software provides the framework for a collaboratively-written city guide. It is similar to a wiki but provides somewhat more structured data storage allowing you to annotate wiki pages with information such as category, location, and much more. It provides searching facilities including "find me everything within a certain distance of this place". Every page includes a link to a machine-readable (RDF) version of the page.

Me : XML::SAXDriver::NYTimes.pm 0.21

Meanwhile, if someone's got a spare moment and an OS X machine handy I'm curious to know if this speech in AppleScript stuff actually works with Mac::AppleScript . I'm logged into a remote machine and keep getting gibberish about windows and GUIs which is kind of a drag because I'm thinking about something involving SOAP::Lite . I will leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out why.

Me : rels-to-unordered-lists.xsl 1.0

This stylesheet defines a single public template named ListAllRels which will create one, or more, unordered lists based on the <link> element in the source document.

I wrote this because I've gotten in the habit of defining all my navigation cues in <link> elements since Mozilla does a nice job of providing a nav-menu for you. Of course, neither IE nor Phoenix provide similar functionality (Opera ignores links with user-defined rel attributes) which means a lot of clicking and typing in the location bar for people using those browsers. The obvious solution, of course, is simply to pre-process the document and tack on a list of links before the browser renders it. If someone can figure out how to rig things so that it will just work with either AxKit or as a <?xml-stylesheet?> processing instruction, I'd love to know what they did. In my experience, the former freaks out and causes the httpd process to gobble all the CPU it can get its hands on, presumably because AxKit/libxml treat HTML files as special (even though XHTML files are, well XML.) Nor can I get the latter work in any browser unless the content-type is explicitly set to *xml which, in turn, causes IE to spaz out with errors about external entities. Rat fuckers.

Now that WWW::UsePerl::Journal.pm supports posting

it means that I can write a Blogger::Engine::Useperl package. The name is a bit of a misnomer because it looks like you should be able to post to any Slash-based site using the Blogger API via the UsePerl methods. I haven't had a chance to test this yet; I am just trying to finally get the next version of Blogger.pm out the door, after having talked about it for months and months. The changes are mostly internal and aimed at making it easier to write application specific handlers for Blogger.pm : MovableType can be tricked into returning all a user's posts so there is no point in honouring the parent class' internal check on the number of posts a user is trying to slurp; Manila doesn't support the getUsersBlogs method while Radio does; the blog id for a Radio site is always " home "; None of the above limit the size of a post. That sort of thing. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow. It depends on how the debugging goes.

James Spahr : JSp_weblog

"is the PHP object class the drives the weblogs here at Designweenie. It is not usable as it is because it depends on some functions in my employer's standard PHP library (which is not available right now). However this can be quickly fixed because the only the MySQL access ( a single function query() ) and the caching functions require the library." I look forward to reading this because, unless those are just clever design elements, it appears that James has gotten around to doing nested categories before me. update : I got a nice note from James saying they must be pretty design elements because "I'm not that anal (yet)". Does this mean the race is on? :-)
