iCommune is "an application that extends Apple's iTunes to share music over your network." [Scripting News] Had a hard time getting this to work with my macs until I discovered you have to drag iCommune into the users/<your username> directory or you don't have the privileges. Pretty cool though. Same old problem, my friends use PCs so we can't share. 9:57:57 AM    Clarence Westberg's Links & Comments

OPML. Dave talks about OPML based directories. I knocked up an ASP.NET based viewer, straight forward enough, you can see it in action (its using Dave's example directory), or grab the source (C#). Couple of comments, (i) I tried to point it at the soapware.org OPML file but was getting XML parser errors on the ø entity at line 61 (my understanding of XML agree's with that). and (ii) looking at the extension on the URL to determine if a link is a sub OPML doc or an external link probably should be using a different type attribute value instead. This'll make dynamically generating OPML for intergration into directories problematic for some platforms/web hosts. [Simon Fell] 7:49:12 AM    Clarence Westberg's Links & Comments
