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.
The version number only reflects the fact that the documentation is incomplete. Let the bug reports begin...
minimalAtom feeds. I will get around to the fancier feeds, but don't hold your breath. If someone wants to take the work and run with it, please feel free to do so.
Update: Well, this proved to be a pretty trivial task. I have munged about 98% of a
maximal
Atom feed into
RSS
1.0. I don't expect the
multipart content
feed or the
RSS
2.0 stylesheet to be anymore complicated. I guess I will try and post all of this tomorrow morning.
Up your date: So, it's all done. Save the widget to convert a

date string to a
RFC822
date string which is making me feel, well, funky. Fortunately,
someone else has already done most of the heavy lifting

Is that a date in your pocket? Steve Ball is my hero, even if the markup:cdata-section template is broken. And it goes without saying that the logic for fussing with dates in RSS 2.0 will result in bug reports. Life sucks — but often less than date processing. I will finish up some rudimentary documentation and post a tar ball this afternoon (Sunday.)

Me, on the notion that one's opinion is somehow value-added by one's consumer purchases.Those people deserve no truck. They should be argued with, bickered and brow-beat in to submission. As well-meaning as those people may be they are simply wrong. It is a rationale that is so myopic and of such staggering laziness and dim-witted selfishness that I doubt any one with half a sense about them could reasonably defend it when given even a lick of scrutiny.

I have posted an XSL stylesheet for, more or less, converting XHTML 1.1 to the Atom syndication format.
I did this because as much I find the whole Atom thing extraordinarily tiresome I find all the hand-wringing from the RSS weenies even sillier. And given a chance to piss everyone off, I often jump.
I post this only as a . I have zero interest in maintaining this for anyone but myself. If you want to use it as fodder for a general purpose library, please be my guest.
I haven't bothered to remove private function calls and there is no documentation. However, there are comments enough for anyone with an understanding of XSLT to follow.
Update: this post generated much more interest than I anticipated so, for the curious, some background which has absolutely nothing to do with Atom (except maybe that Atom's content model maps better to my way of doing things than any of the various RSS efforts) :
The XHTML in question uses my which I wrote as a way to store all the data for a post in a static file. All the data but no form; foofy design stuff is added after the fact using, in my case, XSL . There are reasons why I didn't choose another, perhaps more expressive, XML application which will become clear below. I still use a database because it's faster for generating things like indexes but it is not considered authoritative. That is, the database from the flat files and not vice versa.
(It also lets me fob off the versioning on CVS and worry about other things.)
The single capital-R rule I've learned farting around with increasingly complex ways of generating this site is : the only thing you can count on is the web server being able to send plain vanilla HTML files — everything else will break. The only question you have ask yourself is how much pain will it cause and how much time you want to devote to fixing the problem.
Storing everything as XHTML and wasting a couple extra computrons on XML and XPath munging may not be pretty but when everything else fails at least the content is just there .
Meanwhile, this is sound of me adding a [meta] category to list all the damn acronyms used in any given post...
