blojsom, Firefox 2, and Microsummaries

Miles writes in ...

Just in case no one else has thought of it...

Microsummaries for Blojsom!

0. Install the Blojsom addon bundle.

1. Create a velocity template: microsummary.vm, and put this in it:
Latest: $BLOJSOM_PLUGIN_LIST_TOOL.get($BLOJSOM_ENTRIES,
0).getEscapedTitle()

Not actually sure about the syntax, but it returns what's expected,
so, I'm living with it.

2. Create a new flavor: microsummary, text/plain and associate
microsummary.vm with it.

3. Create a plugin chain (perhaps conditional get is not good?) for
the new microsummary flavour. This is the chain I'm using right now:
conditional-get, meta, limiter, nofollow, rss-enclosure, list-tool

4. In the <head> section of your blog's HTML template add something
like this:
<link rel="microsummary" href="$BLOJSOM_BLOG.getBlogURL()?
flavor=microsummary"/>

Et voila. When you bookmark your blog in Firefox, you get a dropdown
box for the name, and you can choose the latest headline as the live
bookmark summary. Another 0-day Blojsom result /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gif

Scary! And Firefox 2.0 isn't due until tomorrow. Oh ... wait ...

Sad iPod

On the airplane to Las Vegas, I turned on my iPod, and after many seconds of waiting for startup, the iPod displayed the sad iPod icon.

Sad Ipod

I had dropped it on the carpet before leaving, but didn't think anything of it. Off to the Apple store later to get it repaired. Thank goodness for the extended Applecare on the iPod.

Ugggggggggggggggggggggh.

Update: One person at the Apple store said the iPod is basically b0rk3d. And it turns out the Applecare had run out just a few months ago. There are of course non-Apple repair shops that'll take the iPod for around $150. "Why bother?" is the question I'm asking myself right now.
