delicious and delirious

These two are social online bookamark services. del.icio.us was the first one, and de.lirio.us is the open sourced version, which you can run if you have a server somewhere.

Anyways, del.icio.us has more features, like cocoalicious, which is a Mac client to manage your del.icio.us bookmarks. Since this is open-source too, it shouldn’t be too difficult to make it to transfer to de.lirio.us too (this currently lacks a API for development, but this shud go away soon.) Both lack a way of transferring your current bookmarks to these services.

Both these services are pretty useful to access your bookmarks from any computer online. I personally move around a lot, using 2 windoze machines and a powerbook.

I’ve been trying to write a Perl script which removes all the tags, and copies the headers and posts them to the del.icio.us site. It would make life a lot easier :) But, I am having trouble with the regexes, so looks like it’s gonna take some more time!

About robotgeek

Rocker, philosopher, Mac lover, geek, robotics freak and an optimist. These describe me adequately, i guess! When I find time away from my lab, I love to code my robots using java to be compatible with robocode . I also make it a point to visit Slashdot or read on Wikipedia . Of course, all this has to be done while listening to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Metallica or Pearl Jam, mostly on Shoutcast online radio . I also like to read. Though I don't find much time now, I generally stick to what I like, which is Ayn Rand. Let's just hope the world heads in the right direction 2004 has been the year of the blog, and I could not be left out!
