I posted earlier today about Tom’s progress on OPML Editor blog rendering via PHP. Then I remembered issues I had running Dan’s Optimal Renderer. Then I re-read “it’s based on PHP5’s DOM and XSLT support” from Tom’s Progress on Blog 2.0 post. Dan has a PHP test script to determine support on your server. Waaaaahhhhh!. Although my web host provider has a selectable option for PHP4 or PHP5, my sad server returns “You DO NOT have XSLT support”. Beyond disappointed. I am writing to my Congressman, better yet, I am writing to my web host.
Update: My web host replied, “At the moment, we do not offer the XSL extension. It has been added to our list of client requested features and may be included in a future service upgrade.” Sigh.
A decade of Scripting News. On this day, ten years ago, a weblog named Scripting News appeared for the first time … today (April 1st) its in “retro mode”
I have been reading Scripting News and strolling through DaveNet since 2004. Thanks Dave! Even though you have intimated otherwise, I look forward to the next 10 year celebration. And a personal thanks for the OPML Editor, Uncle Skippy, from a happy member of the peanut gallery.
Best Wishes,
Peggy
Since Scripting News is in “retro mode” today, Dave is blogging on twitter for the day.
Hey Tom (Mr. OPML Editor hacky-god), this is very cool, you even covered stuff on my wish-list. Well, I think I luv-ya, virtually. I see you have the Next/Prev, Month, Calendar working for the OPML blog. And even ” on this day in”. Can’t wait for the PHP source … waiting, tapping fingers, waiting, waiting … um, no rush … but hurry up ;)
Update: Not waiting, No XSLT support on my web host. Sigh.

BareTail is a real-time viewing tool for text files from Bare Metal Software. It is similar to the tail -f command on Unix systems, but it has many more features. In the follow tail mode BareTail is ideal for viewing logs, traces and other files which grow in real time. It runs with the same performance for files of any size, including those larger than 2GB.
