Python OPML Tools 2007-08-28T01:55:02Z

I've put up opmltools.zip - it's two scripts. One to backup stuff from your hosting.opml.org account, and the other to delete everything on your hosting.opml.org accont. Be sure to run the former before the latter. The backup script isn't particularly new or anything - coriHacks did it before me, but coriHacks can be a bit messy, since the OPML Editor may start trying to delete or upload your files.

It's designed for Unix OSes (Linux, OS X etc.) and you need to have a reasonably recent version of Python (with xmlrpclib), and you need to have curl installed for backup (OS X has it).

Skype up your hCards 2007-08-28T14:44:55Z

If you use Mike Kaply's excellent Operator plugin, I have created Skype.js - it takes hCards that contain telephone numbers and lets you dial them from Firefox by selecting the Contacts tab, choosing the person and then choosing Call with Skype.

It supports multiple phone numbers per hCard, and will show you the 'type' (eg. "cell", "home", "work" etc.).

To install Skype.js, download it to your hard drive, then choose "Options", then "User Scripts", then "Add". Choose the file from your hard drive, and add it. You can then delete the downloaded file.

I've made a modified version called Gizmo.js which does the same thing for the Gizmo Project VOIP client. Install it in the same way.

AIM: tommorris

I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Ruby and Scala (and Java, but let's not talk about that), and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web.

I have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. My philosophical interests are in analytic metaphysics, ontology, modality, the work of Armstrong, Lewis, Kripke, Russell and Plato. I have a strange, unfulfilled interest in Gadamer's hermeneutics. I've been influenced by Gadamer, by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rawls and Nozick.

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. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
