(Ver en español.) Dear visitor: thank you for dropping by. If, by happenstance, you’re visiting this blog using any Internet Explorer version, I have another message for you: Internet Explorer does not support data: URIs. That’s the reason you cannot see some images here. To put it briefly: an URI denotes a way to access…

Valid XHTML within Blogger…
… In your dreams! Google seems to maintain an attitude of Olympic disdain to standards. While we are all busy booing Microsoft for their trademarked Embrace&Extinguish move, Google can and does get off with just a collective pat on the back. I understand —and share— the Google fascination, as I understood —and shared, much to…

Geocoding while blogger (2)
Welcome! As promised in my previous post, today I am releasing a Greasemonkey script that allows geocoding, using the geo microformat, in Blogger‘s interface. Remember my previous fit of creativity concerning names? Well, I’ve decided to name this one InsertGeo (don’t laugh at me, just click on this link if you want to install it…

Geocoding while blogger
Suppose you go somewhere cool on vacation —it has to be cool enough so as to trigger show-off reflexes. Blogging about it, you’d think how nice would be that your mother readers could click on something to have the location displayed on a mapping service (Google Maps, Yahoo Maps and the like). Let’s envision some…

Speed, I am speed!

Just have a look…

This is only a convenience measure to account for the fact that…

Greasemonkey and microformats (5)
Leaving so soon? I was hoping to interest you on yet another release of my famous series Greasemonkey and Microformats! No, wait! Please, oh please, just a little more… Well, for the few of you still there, here I am again at it. Today, let’s talk about something I fancy calling microformat lifecycle. It’s easy…

Greasemonkey and microformats (4)
Once more unto the breach, dear friends! In this third fourth (already?) installment of Microformats and Greasemonkey, we’ll wonder in sheer amazement at the unifying power of our two leading subjects when carelessly wielded against mounds of unstructured ignorance. How’s that for a beginning? The previous post ended abruptly in a cliffhanger-wannabe fashion, suggesting great…

Greasemonkey and microformats (3)
Welcome to the third installment in this series about microformats and Greasemonkey! In the last episode, after failing spectacularly at providing a not too long rant on the subject at hand (and even omitting completely the expected Greasemonkey bit), I boldly introduced a barebones measurement unit microformat proposal. Today, after deftly inserting another split infinitive…
