Software

This is a place where I’ll put software packages that I’m releasing to the public for this or for that reason. I’m using this page because my header was getting a bit crowded swfupload-postvarmod ruby-Delicious ruby-Mapquest Storage3 FTP Indexer (very old, but won’t die!)

ruby-Mapquest Release v0.002

Welcome: ruby-Mapquest v0.002.  Wherein I’ve added support for routing (directions.)  Let me tell you that getting the info together for this was *NOT* a pretty picture…

Hpricot <text>sometext</text> workaround

As noted by the open trouble ticket here, The most awesome Hpricot seems to have come down with a bug, in that it’s not able to access “sometext” inside this: “<text>sometext</text>” It parses it ok (puts.doc.inspect definately shows the proper {elem}) you just cant get to it. So heres my ugly little hack/workaround for this [...]

(note: example urls broken because of line width, they’re each on one line in my code ) I’m using code referenced here: http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/posts/show/2431 to access the del.* tagging api with only limited success. I dont think it’s the code, though, because the problem is replicatable in the browser, and everything *seems* to line up with [...]

Tag anything, anywhere?

I’ve not been able to find anything really high profile (good google page rank) but is there an API which allows you to tag *anything* anywhere? (not just URLS, but… any piece of data?) Being able to take one arbitrary identifier, optionally a type, and add arbitrary tags to it sounds like the stuff of [...]
