TotSP

In other Screaming-Penguin.com related news . . . FYI I have added a style sheet to the RSS feed (RSS is a type of XML that is an agreed upon - mostly - standard for syndicating content - whatisrss.com) so that it can be viewed in any HTML capable device. Its sort of a nice stripped down version of the TotSP front page. Its available for an RSS reader and or direct consumption via: http://www.screaming-penguin.com/totsp.xml

I find the FireFox live bookmarks to be baad. You might think about using Sage.

Yep. Its not the feed its the way Firefox parses them. I have gone so far as to get into the source code and then start pointing out parse issues on FF mailing lists and so on, only to be told basically "we know its bad, its very primitive, its being worked on". And I would have volunteered to help with it, but the RSS/RDF/XML and standards picture is so messed up it will take some serious experts to make one browser support all the formats and work well (that and I got the impression from the tone of the responses that they had the help they needed).

Actually I am going to look into this more. It seems that even though I get different views from different places, all say basically "its not very robust" but since TotSP is a VALID FEED it should not need to be any more robust to read it than other valid feeds (slashdots works for me for example). Here is more on Live Bookmarks from either a developer himself, or a friend of Vladimir Vukicevic (the main dude based on looking at Bugzilla). Also Bugzilla lists many bugs but I dont see one that pertains to this, a valid feed not getting parsed properly. Although viewing all of ANY status shows 140 and I havnet reviewed them all (live bookmarks bugs any status.

Ok, I found one. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255275 Appears this is an issue and the bug is pretty broad (doesnt say why or what as some other do), the status is "VERIFIED" and hence I think Vlad is working on it?

dammit, that last bug i listed - 255275 - is still open but the last comment says work is all completed except for one related issue (related but not the same). ------- Additional Comment #4 From Phil Ringnalda 2004-09-26 12:13 PST [reply] ------- As of Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040923 Firefox/0.10 these are all WFM from various fixes except ESPN, which is a dup of bug 253911 - could someone resolve this WORKSFORME?

I dont know whats up, STILL, but its a VALID DAMN FEED and it works in Sage and every other reader/etc, not sure why live bookmarks has issues with it other than IT itself has issues.
