0xDECAFBAD OPML Blog



Hi, my name is Les, and this is my plan. Looking for my usual blog? Try 0xDECAFBAD.

Scoping out Ma.gnolia a bit today, and I've noticed a few rather famous - and decidedly non-tech geek - people have accounts there. This has me scratching my head a bit: Are these people friends of the site owners? Spontaneous fans of this site's brand of social bookmarking? Paid shills? Seeing these sorts of faces showing up at an up-till-now all-alpha-geek party seems a bit suspect to me. It also seems rather non-long-tailed and celeb-attached to me. But then, I'm weird and it could be all on the up and up. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

More writing today, interspersed with bits of procrastination. I started roughing out a standalone OPML Community Server in PHP this afternoon. Who knows how far I'll get, but it has initial bare-bones support for registration, login, and upstreaming. And when I say "support", I don't mean anything grandiose - it's really just a bunch of XML-RPC methods at this point, but it could turn into something interesting. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

There is one thing that kind of threw me for a loop in the OPML Editor user interface, though: The "Change Community..." menu item assumes a port of 5337 for any XML-RPC server that's not support.opml.org. That made me have to manually tweak my dotOpmlData.prefs to talk to my own server on port 80. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
