Oops, I graduated

Christina — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 08:05:00 +0000

So much has happened since I last blogged here. I passed my last exam and turned in my thesis … and since some people asked: yep, I passed and may now call myself “Diplom-Informatikerin”

Right now I’m busy applying for jobs, finishing some final things for university and working on delicious2safari, so stay tuned

I hate deadlines :-(

The old del.icio.us API URL will likely stop working sometime this weekend. delicious2safari 1.2.1 uses the new API URL. Let me know if anything doesn’t work as expected.

I love deadlines :-)

So, here it is. Given that del.icio.us has just announced that their API URL will move permanently to a new location July 1st (and get SSL support … wooohoo), delicious2safari 2.0 will be released before that, no matter what …

delicious2safari 2.0 aka “the release that keeps getting buried …

… under a pile of other work” is finally getting close to where I want it to be, though slowly, as my diploma thesis takes up most of my time these days. Thanks for your incredible patience and all those nice emails

And since my website troubles are now sorted out too, here’s a universal binary of delicious2safari 1.2 to get you through the remaining short (I hope) wait for 2.0

Happy New Year!

Hope you all made it safely to 2006 Take care and have a great year!

My renewed GPG key can be found in its usual place and on keyservers.

As for the other reason you might have visited this site for: delicious2safari 2.0 will probably need a couple more days work … stay tuned

Just a quick heads-up to everyone who has been sending me suggestions for delicious2safari: Version 2.0 is in the works (list of planned features here), to be released before the end of this year. Thanks for your patience (and apologies if I didn’t answer your email personally, all of your suggestions have been noted).

delicious2safari on Pimp My Safari and macosxhints

Jon Hicks has launched Pimp My Safari, a website dedicated to all the extension available for Safari. delicious2safari is featured as well

On a related note, Steven King has posted a hint to macosxhints about using delicious2safari together with Butler, an application launcher for Mac OS X. Note that the same procedure also works with Quicksilver and any other application that integrates Safari’s bookmarks.

delicious2safari 1.2

Christina — Tue, 01 Mar 2005 23:55:00 +0000

delicious2safari 1.2 is available now.
It is just a small bugfix release that I wanted to get out while I’m still working on a major update that will add more features, such as a non-interactive mode.

delicious2safari 1.1

Christina — Thu, 30 Sep 2004 14:32:00 +0000

I just released delicious2safari 1.1. It has much improved download code, and should be a lot faster than the previous versions. In addition, delicious2safari now identifies by its own User-Agent identifier.

Thanks to Joshua for fixing the del.icio.us API problems so quickly

More delicious2safari

Christina — Thu, 30 Sep 2004 11:42:00 +0000

It seems there is a problem with the del.icio.us API (which is used by delicious2safari) that will bring down the del.icio.us database when a user with several thousand bookmarks tries to download them through the API calls. Joshua has therefore disabled the affected API call for now.

Unfortunately, this also means delicious2safari won’t be working for now. While the API troubles are being sorted out, I’ll be working on a new version of delicious2safari to reduce the load for the del.icio.us server even more. To be notified, when that update becomes available, please subscribe to the RSS feed. Thanks for your patience.
