RDF Sparklines
A long long time ago I wrote a utility for del.icio.us to get the history of posts in RSS, provide a little trend graphic and link to a bunch of other utilities for URLs. Durl was born, it even got slashdotted (I might even add, when slashdot jumped the shark) but a few months later del.icio.us itself was providing an RDF feed of the posts history. Then sometime last year my tools server went down, taking with it the wall of music, sparktags, hot off the wiki and a bunch more stuff.
Honestly, I don’t have real plans to resuscitate that box and last week, I got a request for Durl. Turns out, people missed my del.icio.us graphics. While I didn’t want to rewrite Durl, I thought a little bit of code that could turn the del.icio.us RDF feed into a sparkline would be all I needed. But I didn’t want to worry about hosting…
