So, I polished up my diary.xsl stylesheet a bit, and thought I'd share it with the world. (with accompanying xml file for month names)

if you add the following to the top of your downloaded xml advogato diary, you can get mozilla to present it to you as html.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="diary.xsl"?>

(and thanks to kirillov for reminding me I had a diary.xsl :)

ianmacd seems to think Ruby's missing_method is a unique feature. I think it's more likely it was borrowed from Perl:

#!/usr/bin/perl

sub main::AUTOLOAD { my ($method, $data, %attrs) = ($AUTOLOAD, @_); my ($tag) = $method =~ /.*::(\w+)/g; my $attr_str; foreach my $key (keys %attrs) { $attr_str .= sprintf (" %s='%s'", $attrs{$key}); } return sprintf ("<%s%s>%s</%s>", $tag, $attr_str, $data, $tag); }

print &a ('Google', href => 'http://www.google.com'), "\n"; print &ul(&li('item1') . &li('item2') . &li('item3')), "\n";

Of course, TMTOWTDI, and ianmacd already mentions CGI.pm, which does the same thing, only more robustly.

Another module is quite useful if you want to edit your html tree at some point after creating it, HTML::Element. An example of how to create a tree with it, and print it:

use HTML::Element;

my $foo = HTML::Element->new_from_lol ( ['p', ['a', {href => 'http://www.google.com'}, 'Google' ], ['ul', map ['li', $_], qw(item1 item2 item3) ], ], );

print $foo->as_HTML;

grr. I *HATE* stupid bugs caused by mindless copy-n-paste "coding"

Stop scaring us, mtearle

mathieu, stop complaining about not having a life, and enjoy what you're doing some more. Sounds like a fine life from what's in your diaries to me.

in other news, Reefknot is proving to be much hacking fun (see?). Must do C stuff again, all this Perl is making my C memory rusty :(

(what) is Ximian thinking?!?

woo Got my GUADEC ticket!

Hmm, long time no entry

Been working on mooonsooon in my do-nothing-for-days-and-then-start-working-like-crazy-for-a-while mode :)
The framework is going pretty well. most of it seems to be sortof working, now I just need to clean up everything properly and stuff like that.
I also just updated to the newest bonobo, which was less of a pain than I feared :) thanks to Nat for the script

I've been following the recent infobot development discussions, and with possible new features like factoid trust, better interbot communications and the removal of the irc dependency, it might be cool to write an office-assistant sortof interface to it. Add a factpack to every application, and you can ask questions, and get pretty good answers. With a central bot, people could even improve the factpack on the fly.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.

If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!
