The readers now have the option to view this blog and this blog’s RSS feeds without my automatically injected del.icio.us links:

• 
  clean XHTML 1.0 index page
• 
  clean RSS 2.0 feed
• 
  clean Atom feed

By the way: My del.icio.us link dump posting script seems to cause XHTML 1.0 non-conformity. I’ll try to fix that.

To my fellow readers: Please excuse all those recycled del.icio.us links in my blog; I’ll find a way to provide both an index page and RSS/Atom feeds without the del.icio.us cruft. Be patient.

In the meanwhile, we are using this for the saugnapf podcast to effienctly share and document our sources of good netaudio.

Finally, I used up some otherwise unused time slices to update the podcasts for our two Querfunk shows. Enjoy!

• the radio chaotica podcast

All of you! Thank morpheme for his generous bandwith offer!

I’m again a little lazy blogger, so I’m not gonna translate our Call for Papers 🙂
We, that is Entropia e.V., the local incarnation of the Chaos Computer Club are organizing a hacker-gathering every year, this year at the University for Applied Sciences Karlsruhe. There will be a lot of lectures and workshops, about topics ranging from programming techniques to computing culture. Enjoy, and come!

A while ago, we migrated our Entropia Wiki from TWiki to MediaWiki. I wrote a little dirty Perl script to help us migrating and it did help a lot. I’m not maintaining it anymore, still I wanted to share the script as it could be useful for other people. You can get it here. Don’t bother me with bug reports 🙂

From the script’s description:

# twiki2mediawiki converts TWiki Wikis to MediaWiki SQL. Make backups and pray.
# A todo list called Twiki2mediawiki_TODO_list will be generated, so you can
# check each page for conversion errors.
#
# BUGS
# - Doesn't handle umlauts in titles
# - Leaves some HTML-markup that worked in TWiki hanging around
# - Doesn't handle *fat* TWiki-style
# - Doesn't handle TWiki-tables
# - Doesn't handle Inter-TwikiWeb.Links correctly
# - Doesn't handle all styles of links
# - Full text earching does not work: As you really should touch
#   every single page anyway, this is not a big problem.
#
# WHAT TO DO AFTER CONVERTING
#
# Visit "Twiki2mediawiki_TODO_list" to fix your wiki:
#
# - Rename a lot of pages (CameLcase)
# - Fix b0rken links (see BUGS)
# - Fix b0rken markup (see BUGS)

I believe the full-text search would work if you let MediaWiki reindex the whole Wiki. There’s some info about that in the German Wikipedia’s Download page.

• dj masaha suzuki’s disco funk – only one episode yet, but hey, funky!
• de-bug.de – a LOT of netaudio
• Mashup of the Week Podcast
• phlow – very nice and assorted netaudio

We now proudly present a podcast for Saugnapf, our music radio show about music from the net (netaudio) on Querfunk:

https://blogs.bl0rg.net/saugnapf/index.xml

You’ll need BitTorrent to actually download the good stuff. Someone remind me that I have to add the other episodes of the show (just the first ready yet).

It’s so easy:

1. Put Enclosures.pl from the MT-Enclosures zip into your MT “plugins” directory.
2. Put a special MT-tag somewhere within an “<item>” in your newly created podcast-blog’s RSS2-feed:
   <$MTEntryEnclosures$>
3. Submit a link to an MP3 in your blog entry.

The new “The Mars Volta” album “Frances The Mute” is intense and diverse, that’s how I like my music. Good to know people are still making intelligent music! “Frances the Mute” is not as bleak as the older “De-Loused in the Comatorium”, but in some ways more enjoyable and full of surprises.
