Daniel E. Renfer’s Blog

I spent a good portion of my morning injecting some RDFa into my blog. In case you didn’t know, RDFa is basically Microformat’s big brother. RDFa takes the full power of RDF and embeds it invisibly in a normal XHTML page. It takes a little bit to get used to thinking of your data in terms of RDF triples, but when it comes down to it, it’s really not that much harder than coding in support for a Microformat.

I’ve got a bit more data that I can still mark up properly, but for now you can grab your favorite RDFa extractor, highlighter bookmarklet, or Firefox extension and see the semantic goodness hidden just under the covers of this page.

For those of you that want to see new pics of Toby, I just uploaded a whole bunch to my photo’s section.

Since no one commented on my previous post about the dangers of MIME types, (if any,) I went ahead and did it anyway. You can now add ?mimetype=type to view that page served with a different mimetype. So now, if you are running Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1, you can go to: http://www.kronkltd.net/wp/?p=720&mimetype=application/xhtml%2Bxml and see what I was trying to do.

Note: The character ‘+’ gets translated to a space in url’s, so in order to specify a mime-type such as application/xhtml+xml, you have to replace the ‘+’ with a ‘%2B’.

It has been almost 10 months since I switched to my new web hoster, and in all that time, I never took down the stupid “Under Construction” page that people get when they pull up http://www.kronkltd.net/ until today. I just never had anything good to put there. I still don’t, but it’s about time. (allthough it’s been replaced by a similar “excuse our dust” message.)

You can now get the feed for my blog in valid Atom 1.0!

Oh, the geekiness is just dripping, isn’t it?
