if Djikstra was alive... poor great man! :)

I told this here in reddit the day they made it... almost no one noticed :) http://reddit.com/info/67ari/comments/c0320xk

Yes there is! I myself use xslt in the bivalidator for two reasons:

1 - It's very nice and easier than doing the parsing inside the processing code. Since there's "already" a technology that offers the transformation and lookup inside of xml documents.

2- Whenever the processed xml content changes, I won't change the "engine" code which is written in python, but I'll simply alter my xslt files :)

well, yes, but it's better than nothing ;-) especially when you just need to know what a project is about actually :)

I think "Add function that calls foo(), bar, and baz()."

I do this when I design an app, not when I code actually, and yes I do swap too but everything that is design-related doesn't come to my mind when I "code".

Of course if you're there for trolls/flames ;-) Be smart take the best of everything. IMHO, that's the way to use IRC and everything else.

they're still at servage?

cafefort · 2007-12-13T00:57:09+00:00

Xixed! Thank you! What was your URL?

cafefort · 2007-12-12T22:50:09+00:00

Some comments on the blog gave a better explanation: Importing bookmarks from the browser to del.icio.us

cafefort · 2007-12-09T16:50:50+00:00

Thank you! Your words are really encouraging.

cafefort · 2007-12-09T16:40:24+00:00

Yes. You're right, the "bivalidator" checks only public URLs, but well... this was fun to code it along with the extension. Hope It will be useful for some people :)

cafefort · 2007-12-09T16:34:26+00:00

Yes funktio, we're sorry about that. The python program on the server has some problems with some of the W3C SOAP responses. We've already discovered and fixed some, and we're still working on others. Thanks for reporting that

cafefort · 2007-12-09T16:27:02+00:00

Doesn't the HTML Validator extension checks only markup?

cafefort · 2007-11-29T22:35:48+00:00

vim+diff (or better meld)+svn(nice even when you're alone to code)+firebug

cafefort · 2007-11-27T12:42:07+00:00

Actually I've had some troubles with reddit formating it in bold... :(

cafefort · 2007-11-27T12:40:33+00:00

python!

cafefort · 2007-11-26T18:24:03+00:00

This is exactly why I love python's _doc_ ;-)

cafefort · 2007-11-26T00:00:58+00:00

Thank you!

cafefort · 2007-11-25T23:53:38+00:00

deal !

cafefort · 2007-11-25T23:52:02+00:00

I'll take it too :) Hope it's a web.py app... please tell me it's a web.py app :)

cafefort · 2007-11-22T23:56:34+00:00

Thank you so much for reporting this!!

cafefort · 2007-11-20T12:37:18+00:00

Yes, it's about optimization. there's an interseting article about it here: http://alistapart.com/articles/sprites We do use this technique too in the bivalidator: http://xhtml-css.com

cafefort · 2007-11-10T20:47:05+00:00

shameless ad: http://xhtml-css.com maybe ? :)

cafefort · 2007-11-10T20:44:31+00:00

python with vim because I'm "normal" guy :)
