In the geomapping with trains session, Ben Metcalfe asked for the XML for the Tube status. The guy who designed the excellent Tube Status widget for Apple's Dashboard has made XML available here. I've written a (non-XSL) transform to turn it in to OPML. Here is the OPML, and here it is in Grazr. 2006-09-03T11:39:36Z
3spots has a list of digg tools - my digg/Grazr mashup is included. (Put it in OPML, man!) 2006-09-03T07:54:10Z
Now that Sheila and Ian have finally take me by the hand and showed me the world of XSL, I have a new tool in my arsenal to build mashups. 2006-09-03T03:47:17Z
Rendering OPML blogs with XSL 2006-09-03T08:50:59Z
Sheila and Ian have been giving me seriously great tech support and tuition in using XSL. As a result, I can now show you how we can render OPML blogs using XSL.
Here's an example of the rendered code. There are a few little bugs to iron out, but it's 99% there. You can see the XSL transform - please hack it up and make it better, and help us build the replacement for the OPML Community Server on the LAMP stack.
XSL: Doing PHP in XSL 2006-09-03T22:21:39Z
Evaluating PHP in XSLT - apparently, I need to use what are called XSL scheme handlers. PHP has a function called xslt_set_scheme_handlers() - Baptiste's comment. This stuff is complicated, but it looks mighty powerful.
So, I'm testing it out. It's quite easy to put together. You write yourself a PHP function, and you put it in an array, and then you tell the XSLT processor to set it as a scheme handler.
I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Python and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web. I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.
I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
