As you may seen, I had a lot of hosting problems recently. Moreover, since I was away, I did not have time to check what's wrong and since gandi beta hosting still have some issues about rebooting servers I was not able to restart it easily.

Gunnar asked this morning on #swig how to handle Flickr feeds, and especially images and thumbnails with feedparser. I remembered I hacked it once to make it work, but lost my changes with a server crash ...

Après avoir ajouté le support des flux RSS 1.0 sous Dotclear 2 en modifiant le source (oui, je sais c'est moche), je m'attaque à la même chose, plus propre, sous forme de plug-in, qui sera probablement la première brique d'un plugin Web Sémantique pour Dotclear2 (waouh !).

I've just fixed some configuration problems on this Debian box (sid), which made my website and other hosted services (SIOC browser, foafmap ...) unavailable since yesterday. Trouble came from apache2.2 and libapache2-mod-php5, so I switched back to Apache 2.0.

Sorry for those that were looking for something here !

As GoogleMaps now offers geocoding services (which works really fine for European streets !), you can use it in any web application to get coordinates from a given address. The services use REST to send queries, and you can get results in XML or JSON.

Deux soirs que je m'acharne sur Locomotive, à essayer de comprendre pourquoi les gems que j'installe sont inaccessibles dans mes applis rails.

Et ce soir, la révélation !

I've just noticed that my SIOCwiki-2-rdf script didn't resolve SIOC data URL for a few blogs from SIOC enabled sites. I first thaught it was the autodiscovery regexp that failed (it was the case for only one blog), but actually, the error came from the part of the script that fetch pages.

Dokuwiki is a nice wiki application, easy to setup, and with a lot of plugins (notes, LaTeX rendering ...).

As I mentioned before, I planned to rewrite recordShops in Ruby on Rails. Actually, more that rewriting this particular application, I'll try to write a generic "locate and review" tool, with usual tagging and Google Maps stuff.

Je viens de passer plus d'une heure à me battre avec du Javascript sous IE, dont une bonne partie pour me rendre compte qu'il ne suivait pas certains specs du DOM, notamment en ce qui concerne le setAttribute.
