I got the Daily Chump IRC bot running on the #openacs channel on irc.openprojects.net. It is a weblog created by logging all the URLs typed into the channel. It's written in Python so I really have no idea how it works. It creates XML files and comes with XSLT stylesheets to transform it into HTML.

Anyway the cool part is that I used the new version of ns_xml to run through all the XML files and convert them to HTML as an AOLserver scheduled proc. Check it out at h ttp://www.thedesignexperience.org/openacs/ircblog/.

Works is starting on turning ns_xmlrpc into a real live OpenACS module. When we are done OpenACS 4 modules will be able to call and provide XML-RPC services.

My main weblog is at my homepage. I use XML-RPC with OpenACS to maintain it. Right now I am working on a small part of the OpenACS 4.x port.

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.
