Category: Technology

I work in technology sector. And I do round a clock, not only from 9 to 5. It is my bread and butter, it is my hobby, it is the fascination of my life. And with the current rate of change particular in information technology (IT), there is always something new to learn, to try, to talk about. I often post news, thoughts, and reviews. And when I do, this is the category I use.

Linkblogging with del.icio.us

I was thinking about syndicating my del.icio.us bookmarks into the blog, but never implemented it. Today I stumbled upon this post which explains how to syndicate del.icio.us into Movable Types. The Perl script used is a dirty hack. Of course, I had to immidiately correct and improve the situation.

My version of the script uses XML::RSS module for parsing the RSS feed and CGI module for generating the HTML. It also uses del.icio.us tags as a title of the link. Overall, the script is much smaller and cleaner. The results of its work can be seen in the right panel, below archives.
