delicious foaf rdf tool phil-wilson blog 2007 Apr 8, 3:46This weekend was fun. Sarah and I went out for Jane's Birthday. We ate at a little Italian restaurant where our group was almost too large for the place and afterwards went to the
Viceroy lounge. The website apparently isn't very representative because although I looked at it before going out and I'd been to the place previously, I didn't
realize it was the same location until we got there.
I got several games for my Wii through Sarah's connections including
Wii Play and
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. We played both of them and I thought
Find Mii was especially fun.
Sarah's bunny is getting pretty big. Its been biting through wires now includig part way through the power cord to the cable box. You'd think after getting to the copper that it would learn to stop.
At any rate, it didn't hide any eggs. I don't have any new photos but you can see
the old bunny photos via my Vizicious
tool.

I just saw this on
another user's delicious links:
a link to ESV search that's
tagged with, among other things, "shortcut:esv". When viewed on del.icio.us there's a text box that lets you search using that link. I hadn't seen this before, but it seems pretty cool and I'm
surprised I hadn't seen it previously. A delicious post with such a tag ends up looking like the following:
I tried searching for information on this and I've found
other delicious users doing the same thing,
but nothing about the tag itself. If you know any information especially official information from del.icio.us itself please post links in reply to this post. So without further preface here's what
I've learned about the del.icio.us shortcut tag.
How-to
To get a search box in your del.icio.us links make a post that satisfies the following requirements:
- One of the tags must begin with the text 'shortcut:'. You can have more text following that in the tag if you like but it must at least start with 'shortcut:'.
- The 'url' you post must be a shortcut url rather than an actual URL. It must contain a '%s' with a lowercase 's'. When you enter text into the textbox on the del.icio.us page the text will
replace the '%s' after being percent-encoded. For example 'http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s' is the shortcut url for Google and if you type 'foo bar' into the textbox the URI you will
navigate to would be 'http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=foo%20bar'.
Complaints
This is neat but I do have a few complaints:
- The text from the textbox is percent-encoded before replacing the '%s'. Most sites use application/x-www-form-urlencoded
which encodes spaces as '+' rather than '%20'.
- The shortcut url format seems to be taken from Mozilla's Firefox Custom Keywords. Its a shame it wasn't based on something more
adaptable like the OpenSearch URL template syntax.
- A '%s' in the url means technically what you're submitting to del.icio.us isn't a URI as defined by the standard.
- Allowing text after 'shortcut:' means you can't look at all of a user's shortcut using this tag.
The next step is to create a tool to sync my
IE7 search providers with my shortcuts saved to delicious...

Vizicious. Vizicious displays a graph of your
delicious links or (this is the new part) your flickr photos.
I had this previously on my old website but I've rewritten it and separated out the presentation portion from the part that does all the real work. This means its alot easier for me to incorporate
new kinds of input (like flickr feeds).
Anyway, if you're not interested in the details just
click here to see my photos tagged 'france' run

authentication identity openid security specification privacy 2007 Mar 13, 7:57I had a few thoughts after reading about
OpenID. However, after doing only a very small amount of digging I can see these aren't new thoughts.
-
Anonymous OpenID
-
Have an OpenID that anyone can use because it performs no authorization. You'd specify a URI like http://deletethis.net/anonymousopenid/yournamehere and you'd immediately get an anonymous OpenID
associated with that URI. This has already been implemented by Jayant Gandhi.
-
Group OpenID
-
Have an OpenID that consists of a group of member OpenIDs. To login as the Group OpenID you need to login with any of the member OpenIDs. This is discussed more by Dmitry Shechtman on his blog.
-
OpenID Normalization
-
I find that I already have a couple of OpenIDs without even trying due to AOL giving out OpenIDs. I'd like for all of my
OpenIDs to point to one canonical OpenID. It looks like this may already be possible by the OpenID
specification.
I guess I'm a little late to the scene.
