Schadenfreude

So, I made it so the Timeline project and javascript libs can now use my custom Typo RSS feed to make pretty timelines. Just did some very simple (but troublesome to debug) modifications of the Timeline and Typo codebases. Trouble was for a while that this…

<?xml ..... ?>

…is apparently not parsable in the Timeline libs. And it throws some
unclosed parenthetical exception. That took me a long time to figure out.
Lame. Anyway, you can see the result of the integration between blog events
and life events here.

Gotta start trading stocks in 30 minutes, then eventually go to bed. I’m such
a night-owl.

So today I started a timeline using some really cool
software. It’s going to catalog my life as
accurately as possible. I think I might add some authentication to it for
private events, and make a separate event file for those. Giving away too
much is not usually a good idea.

It is now available here, and I will try
to make a sweet bit of Camping/Rails/PHP to control the data. Maybe I’ll make
a full-fledged MySQL backend for it, allowing you to keep your events in a
database rather than flat files.
