I wrote some home-brew PHP code to fetch diary information from Advogato via XML-RPC and convert the diary information into OPML outlines. The resultign document works perfectly in OmniOutliner but there are some encoding problems that cause problems in Mozilla and PHP's xml_parse_into_struct() that prevent me from putting it online via PHP-OPML. Apparently it is an issue with unrecognized entities resulting from encoding, when that is resolved, I will put the archive online on my site and stop using Advogato. It's not because of "trolls", but for other reasons. I will at least have an archive online somewhere and may continue to maintain the diary from there.

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.
