Planet Gøtze

Next phase in the transformation of Gotzespace has begun. Since my blog now resides at gotze.eu, the gotzespace.dk domain (web) is now used for my new Planet Gøtze. Its named that because it is using a planet aggregator, and because it tracks the inner and outer Gøtzespace (my blogs, my tags, etc.).

Usually planets track technologies (such as Open Office, Debian, and GNOME) or blogsubspheres, but in my case, the planet just tracks my space, and that’s its only purpose. I don’t think my server could handle my complete reading list anyway.

I just wanted a simple planet, and ended up using Lilina. I removed a number of its features, such as the google lookup, which slows down the page too much.

On a general note, I notice that many bloggers have started to include their del.icio.us or whatever tags in their blog feeds. That’s in my opinion a bad idea. If I want to subscribe to people’s personomies, I can do so at del.icio.us or whereever they tag. Blog feeds are for blog entries!

WordPressing GotzeBlogged

Transformation time in Gotzespace! I’ve decided to switch to WordPress, and have nearly finished the transition. This includes the introduction of a new domain for GotzeBlogged, gotze.eu. Existing Gotzespace.dk links should however still work, but redirection of the blog and its feeds is permanent. I have gone through some efforts to not break any links, but do let me know if anything is missing.

One of the reasons I decided to leave MovableType was that I didn’t feel anything happened to it. Ironically, just as I had made my decision, SixApart announced a new version of MT. It’ll have to be a significant improvement, because I’m very satisfied with WP now, and see no reason to go back to MT.

WordPress is a very nice product. It being open source is an important criteria, but my choice is based on the quality of the product, and it just simple beats MT on all accounts I have prioritised.

My Atom feed is a valid Atom 1.0 feed: [Valid Atom 1.0] (thanks to these instructions).

GotzeTools

Tools for GotzeTagged is a collection of productivity tools for GotzeTagged, my personomy.

The tools are implementations of some browser tools, for example a useful enhancement of the context menu:

ConQuery

Another cool tool is a reinvented editor bookmarklet that works with the current application api and http requests. I created the original bookmarklet 5 years ago, but had to change method as the application was updated over the years. I started using a robot plugin, but it didn’t work well. So, when playing around with the most recent LSQL it was a pleasant surprise that the old method can now be used again.

The tools are created for Firefox, my preferred browser. If you use anything else: Switch!

I am still learning how the sidebar works, and the sidebar tool I have released is in pre-alpha state.

As for sidebars and tabs in Firefox, I cannot get Firefox to transfer http request info between the tabs. I can get Firefox to transfer some content (user in Mycroft), but not stuff like location.href. If I open my bookmarklet in a new tab, I don’t get the same result as I get if I just click it open (new window, which Firefox hides).

Tracking on

Huh? It seems my blog is playing tricks. I recently updated the site design and the MT-backend. There must be some old links somewhere here, because it seems that Trackbacks – I got two today: From Recent notable stuff (GovTechNews) and from EAI maturity (Rage on omnipotent) – calls up the old design.

I’ve brutally killed the old MT-engine. The damage should be limited to these two trackbacks that are gone (sorry about that).

So, could I ask anyone reading my blog to check their URLs? – and mine ;-)

My blog is at http://gotzespace.dk. It is reachable via other links (I aim at no link rot, but keep moving around stuff …), but really the preferred URL is gotzespace.dk.

My feeds are at:
RSS 2.0: http://gotzespace.dk/index.xml
Atom: http://gotzespace.dk/atom.xml
RSS 1.0: http://gotzespace.dk/index.rdf
