display microformats inside your browser

yesterday i stumbled upon a cool extension for Firefox / Flock browsers to display microformats contained inside a page: tails firefox extension (Firefox 1.4+, Flock 0.7+) flocktails (Flock 0.5.14+, Flock 0.7) the plugin scans your currently viewed page in your browser and displays a small, green icon () in the bottom right of your browser if it has found any of the supported microformats inside the page.

XFN network – now see it :-)

XFN is a microformat to describe your relationship on other people. It’s pretty simple, just make a link and add the “rel” attribute: <a xhref=”https://wolfgang.reutz.at/” mce_href=”https://wolfgang.reutz.at/” rel=”me”>Wolfgang Reutz</a> <a xhref=”http://www.musigreview.at/” mce_href=”http://www.musigreview.at/” rel=”met friend colleague”>Andreas Feuerstein</a> oh, cool, but what’s up next?

Installing readline for python on Mac OS X Tiger

If you like to use your arrow keys in an interactive Python on OS X, you definately need readline…. If you download the patch files yourself from ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/readline-5.1-patches (readline51-00[1-4]) and put them in /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/readline, then port install readline will work.
