what i love about this blog stuff is that there are so many low hanging fruit. wherever you look, it is just a matter of mixing various xml dialects. and we haven’t really figured out what large-scale namespace intertwingling will bring either, but the permutative power is obvious. invariably, my thoughts center around various PIM functions that could be enhanced by weblog technology, such as calendaring and mind mapping. i have yet to delve deeper into the mind mapping stuff, but calendaring has some interesting starting points:
i left out the earlier research i did on calendaring, and there is also my rendered calendar which is unfortunately behind a realm due to configuration issues.
in any event, it may make sense to define yet another link tag (is there a central registry somewhere?) to point to your iCal file, enabling auto discovery. how about
<link rel=”calendar” type=”text/x-xcal” title=”calendar” href=”https://greg.abstrakt.ch/calendar.ical” />
the type is of course always debatable. i am following prior art here i think. now, to weave these loose ends into something compelling.
