FOAFlicious offline

If you hadn't already noticed, FOAFlicious has been down for some time due to problems with Java on my server. I'll probably try and rewrite this in JRuby or Python sometime soon.

IFP added

I've added in a foaf:homepage to each user that you foaf:know pointing to that user's del.icio.us page (in addition to any other detected) so that now graphing tools might actually work.

I'll also try and update it to do some better caching and expiry and try to actually use the del.icio.us API rather than the painful screenscraping that I'm currently doing.

FOAFlicious now doesn't use a stupid port number

I've tidied up my settings slightly so that now when you enter your name in the FOAFlicious form and submit it, it no longer points at port 8180 on my server. This should help anyone who would otherwise have to open a port on their firewall to be able to use FOAFlicious.

http://philwilson.org/foaflicious/foaflicious.groovy?user=pip is the newer syntax, although the old one with the port number will still (currently) work.

FOAFgen supports FOAFlicious

The excellent FOAFgen now provides a rdfs:seeAlso to FOAFlicious if you provide a del.icio.us username. Cool!

foaflicious 0.2

The source for FOAFlicious 0.2 is available on http://philwilson.org/projects/foaflicious/code/foaflicious-0.2.groovy.

This version of FOAFlicious relies on Groovy 1.0-beta 9 or above.

There are two major changes between 0.2 and 0.1:

1. You can now pass in a del.icio.us username as a parameter
2. It no longer looks for FOAF files linked from users' homepages (because it was killing performance stone dead).

FOAFlicious now has a home page

As part of my efforts to tidy up my website and projects, FOAFlicious now has a home page with an easy access form for generating your FOAF file, and protects you slightly from having to remember that dreadful URL :)

FOAFlicious now generates FOAF for any del.icio.us user

You can now get the del.icio.us inbox for any user in FOAF format like so: http://philwilson.org:8180/foaflicious/foaflicious.groovy?user=pip - just substitute the username you want at the end of the URL

This functionality was always there, but broken in Groovy 1.0-beta-6. I've just upgraded to beta 9 and it works just fine.

In other news, I wanted to play with a new toy, so there's now an "upcoming features" list for FOAFlicious hosted on tadalist.com.

I'll try and actually fix all the things on the list over the weekend.
