I joined Confabb - my username is "tom". It's pretty cool, but there are some ways I think it could be improved. First, a search by location. Much as I am interested in XML, I'm far more interested in going to a conference on XML in London or Amsterdam than I am going to a conference in California. Second, have a way of having it sync up with my upcoming account. I'm a total upcoming.org whore, and this would be great to hook in to it. Thirdly, produce XML of all that new good stuff. Fourth, podcast. Seriously, this would be the best platform you could ever imagine. I don't care about the details, but make it so that when I mark a conference as 'watched', go and fetch me podcasts and stick them in a private RSS feed. This would kick enormous amounts of arse. Finally, the whole "film it in Dave Winer's lounge" technique was spot on. Smile and a wink 2006-11-14T21:58:59ZUntitled entry permalink

Programmable Web has reviewed GrazrScript. I promise that I've got GrazrScript stuff coming. 2006-11-14T20:22:24ZUntitled entry permalink

Ken Ham is begging for money. I ought to send some dollar bills with the word "God" crossed out. Smile and a wink 2006-11-14T13:10:46ZUntitled entry permalink

OPath by created date 2006-11-14T09:17:03ZTitled entry permalink

I've got something really cool to announce, but I haven't got time to prepare the release at the moment.

I've made it so that OPath can work on created dates, as per Dave's suggestion the other day.

The new format is opath.opiumfield.com/*url*/-cc-/*created*

The created needs to be exactly as it is in the OPML. Here is a sample (Grazr).

I'm building some tools to make the process of building OPaths a lot easier. The first of these tools will be released either later today or tomorrow. It's a script for the OPML Editor and it makes directory management in the Editor a lot easier.

OPath script 2006-11-14T12:07:12ZTitled entry permalink

Okay, I've finally cleared out my inbox enough that I can put this script up. It's a modification of Dave's dotOpmlSuite.opmlorg.menuCommands.getOutlineUrl script.

I've put it up in the standard way I put up code - as an outline.

To install it, you simply need to find a place to put it. The "Personal" menu is probably the best place - or maybe the right click menu. Once you've found somewhere, open up the script and copy it to where you want it.

What it allows you to do is select a node in an outline and then run the script on that node. It'll then return the URL for that node through OPath. It's simply piecing together the URL for you - it doesn't need to communicate with the server or anything.

Using this script, the process of making OPath-enabled directories in OPML is significantly easier. I'm also going to write a script to make addressing other people's outlines via OPath a lot easier.

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . 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.
