XList.org

XList.org
XList is a universal format for representing data in the simple form of a list of items.
Its main purpose is to standardize the way applications and aggregators share and consume lists of items of any kind.
XList is designed to be extensible in order to represent different kinds of data in a standard way.

I never really looked into OPML to deeply but this XList seems to take OPML and extend it to include specifications for different types of media and not just text.

About microformats

microformats | About microformats
Designed for humans first and machines second, microformats are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards. Instead of throwing away what works today, microformats intend to solve simpler problems first by adapting to current behaviors and usage patters

Everybody else is linking to and talking about them so I figure I might as well help with the pagerank and the spread of yet another bloody buzzword.

Flickr XSLT

I was in a trough in work (don’t tell malarkey) so I took a break and wrote some xslt to get the images from my flickr account. It works in IE but doesn’t work in Firefox as the transformix xslt transformer (in disguise 🙂 ) doesn’t support getting remote xml files in XSLT.
XSLT File

[code lang=”xml”]
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>





Category test

  • atom:title




[/code]

XML File

[code lang=”xml”]
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
< ?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="index.xslt"?>


[/code]

I tried putting these up on the server for a demo but alas.. another IE bug .. XMl and mime types and temp folder.. ARGHHHH!!
