A TON of scripts, utilities, and extensions for del.icio.us
del.icio.us Daily Links
I’ve finally got the cronjob working to import my daily findings from del.icio.us into MT. I’ve had the perl script working before, but I couldn’t create cronjobs from the command line to automate it, and the web interface didn’t work either. With some work and tech support, they’ve fixed the web interface and it’s now working. You should see the daily links posted at the end of the day.

ONLamp.com: Bosworth’s Web of Data
ONLamp.com: Bosworth’s Web of Data: – Google’s Adam Bosworth on the future of information, suggesting that we “do for information what HTTP did for user interface.” Basically he’s saying that a “simple, sloppy” protocol will succeed, and referenced RSS 2.0 as an example of the right direction, and XML being the wrong direction because of it’s extensively rigid structure.
Making the iPod’s shuffle function work better
On Maximum Aardvark, AJ talks about how to make the shuffle function work better, namely by optomizing some smart playlists to tailor to your listening preference for the day. The ideas he has are good for someone who has spent the time to rate their songs on their iPod or in iTunes, but I’m not that inclined to rate tons of songs nonstop to get to that point.

This is an awesome example of Transparent Screens, the process of taking a picture of the environment, making that your desktop background, and matching the color attributes and positioning to make it look like the screen is transparent. Awesome Stuff!
