del.icio.us direc.tor
I have always been intrigued by the idea of using a client-side application to act as a service broker, integrating various services like Google Maps, Flickr, and del.icio.us. Unfortunately, after doing the research, I found that the security blocks in the browser prevent normal untrusted code to poll sites that are not from the same server, so that grand service idea couldn’t be a reality. What I was able to do, though, was provide a service for a single website: del.icio.us.
Part research, part appreciation for del.icio.us, del.icio.us direc.tor is a prototype for an alternative web-based rich UI for del.icio.us. It leverages the XML and XSL services of modern browsers to deliver a responsive interface for managing user accounts with a large number of records. Try it out, and let me know what you think.

I wish this map of current US gas prices factored out the taxes included in the pump price. It seems like what the map mostly shows is the differences in taxes between states (PDF map) and not, for instance, how the distance from shipping ports or local demand affects prices.

In Oklahoma City, the interstate will be moved five blocks from downtown to an old railroad line. The new 10-lane highway, expected to carry 120,000 vehicles daily, will be placed in a trench so deep that city streets can run atop it, as if the highway weren't there. The old highway will be converted into a tree-lined boulevard city officials hope will become Oklahoma City's marquee street.
Several other cities have done (or are planning to do) similar highway tear downs.
"Highways don't belong in cities. Period," says John Norquist, who was mayor of Milwaukee when it closed a highway. "Europe didn't do it. America did. And our cities have paid the price."

"Actually I think it's pretty good," she said. "You can definitely get a workout. When I started doing it, I realized all the activities were pretty much on point. There were some things I didn't like, like the alignment in a couple of places. But over all, I thought they did a good job and this will be a good tool for people who can't make it to the gym."
The Wii Fit will be released in the US and Canada early next week.

(link)Here's an update on the effort to solve the Pioneer anomaly, the unexplained deviation in motion of deep space probes from what Newton and Einstein's theories predict.
As it sped through space, a specialist in radio-wave physics named John Anderson at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory noticed an odd thing. The spacecraft was drifting off course. The discrepancy was less than a few hundred-millionths of an inch per second for every second of spaceflight, accumulating year after year across billions of miles. Then Pioneer 11, an identical probe escaping the solar system in the opposite direction, also started to veer off course at the same rate.
Ordinarily, such small deviations might be overlooked, but not by Dr. Anderson. He monitored the trajectories six years before calling attention to the matter. "I'm a little like an accountant," Dr. Anderson said. "We have Newton's theory and Einstein's theory, and when you apply them to something like this -- and it doesn't add up -- it bothers me."
The researchers, using data recovered from recently discovered Pioneer records and funded by sources outside of NASA, have figured out part of the problem but the rest remains a mystery.

The results: people with the large size ate more than those with the medium size, regardless of how participants rated the taste of the popcorn.

Impressive stuff! The interface feels really responsive and fast (not that I have a zillion of links in my profile, but anyways), it looks nice and clean.
If I was to make any suggestions it would be to tone down the yellow mouseover (make it light gray?) in the result listing, since it’s not consistent with how the tag filtering works (where the yellow is used to mark a selection, not a hover event)
Once again, nice work! gonna read up on your articles about the technology behind it…
Comment by Björn Carlsson — June 24, 2005 @ 6:10 am
Looks like a great start. Yes, the yellow is a bit insane! It has similar function to TagSense. MetaFilter is down right now, but I just asked a question that speaks to this very issue… The gist was: What utilities are available to del.icio.us power users? My specific question was about ways to bulk edit or bulk delete. Take a look at the question (I’d give you the link if the server weren’t down!). The question was written by abbyladybug on 6/23/2005 fairly late at night (with a bit ole editing mistake - whoops!) and del.icio.us is one of the tags.
Also, I came for del.icio.us director, but I will subscribe because of the photography. Nice work!
Signed,

Comment by Abby — June 24, 2005 @ 7:06 am
A few more comments: The font is awfully small, even to my stellar visioned eyes. When I hover over the tags, my mouse doesn’t change to a little hand or an arrow or anything, so I wasn’t sure it was working. It was, but it’s something to look into. Hope these comments help. :D

Great idea! Unfortunately, doesn’t seem to work for me. I followed the steps to create the link, and when I go to the Director link I’m prompted to log in, and up comes the Director page. So far so good. But the columns (the tag columns) are all empty. The static demo works fine. (I’m using Firefox 1.0.4, with JS enabled.)

A dream delicious client
A little over a month ago I mentioned my contemplation of tag based bookmark management. Since then I have made a commitment of sorts to move my links to del.icio.us. Lately, instead of working though my bookmarks and uploading the links I want to keep…
Trackback by ollicle — June 29, 2005 @ 5:33 am
I’m both really impressed of and really happy for this wonderful tool. Not only because the unheard of cleverness, but also because it is a great and useful interface.
Like a few other I would appreciate a larger font for the bookmarks though.
And I think I’ve found a bug - my tag “watch” shows up like a cryptic “watch ( function watch() { [native code] } 1111111111111111)” in the tag browser.
Comment by Daniel — June 29, 2005 @ 7:30 am
I’m impressed with the functionality of the tool. I think it will change the way I use del.icio.us. I used to be a minimalist in that I would only use one or two tags to describe each link.
With direc.tor, I can put way more tags and still stay organized.
One enhancement request I have is to pass along the list of recommended tags when Edit is selected, as in the current del.icio.us interface.
Comment by Ust — July 1, 2005 @ 6:35 am
Very nifty. I suggest adding a menu allowing us to select a bundle and then showing only thetags in that bundle in the left column.

About the XSLT and Safari. Don’t know if you’ve looked at using this, perhaps it might be of some help.

Comment by GPLDOG — July 4, 2005 @ 1:27 pm
Very impressive! Has made del.icio.us even more useful than it already was, which is saying something. However, when I click my tag for ‘art’, it also pulls up ‘articles’, which isn’t so handy.
Comment by Jaytee — July 6, 2005 @ 11:15 pm
Great work. You’ve taken something great (del.icio.us) and made it even better - that doesn’t happen very often.
Comment by Dave Fravel — July 12, 2005 @ 3:30 am
Your tools usability, including its ability to sort by Description make it a winner for me.
One problem I’ve noticed is when I highlight a tag in the Tag Browser the pattern match is not exact. For example if I click on my tag “ar” then bookmarks tagged with “ar”, “article”, “search”, “software” etc. are shown. This gives me bookmarks I didn’t want to see. This is in Firefox 1.0.4 on Windows XP.

Hey how about a “refresh” button that automatically refreshes the delicious page and the director?
I keep the director window open at all times, but everytime I hit refresh on the browser I have to load the director again.

Comment by Nick — March 16, 2006 @ 5:10 am
You definitely on the right track, but what you have in no way addresses what i need from delicious? I can’t quite see what value your product has helping me use delicious or i don’t understand how to use it. That no way diminishes the wow i got when i first logged in. Use the columns for managing tags and bundles instead of keyword would open this up as the interface is nice and fast. You should make this into the editor for heavy delicious users
Great job. I’d like to talk to you about using your interface for mashup of delicious
You need to build an editor that allows me to manage my bundles and tags easier
The tech spec is excellent.

Comment by hans — June 3, 2006 @ 1:19 am
Very slick! Thanks for a wonderful tool, great papers and some fine code!
I was wondering if it might make sense to use “matches” rather than “conmtains” in the XPath expression. I have tags like “elementary-schools” and “schools” which are semantically different (to me) but selecting “schools” also shows “elementary-schools”.
OK, that was a labored example, but the issue is more than can be solved by simply renaming my tags.
Am I right? Can one simply use “matches” instead? I guess I should try it, huh?
Thanks again,

Comment by justin — July 16, 2006 @ 6:09 pm
I apologize if someone else already suggested this, but I don’t feel like reading through all your comments ;)
I would love it if you added some way to refresh the interface to reflect the most recent data. This helps mainly when you edit entries or add an entry from another browsers. Simply running the bookmarklet again works, but a link on the page would be so nice ;) Thanks.
Comment by Mike Bulman — July 26, 2006 @ 4:46 am
This does work in Opera 9+. The problem is that in the code you check for ‘document.all’ and if found you assume IE although Opera supports lookup via doc.all.
So to remedy this, I added ‘document.all=null’ to the beginning of your bookmarketlet. Result:
javascript:void((function() {document.all=false;var%20element=document.createElement(’script’); element.setAttribute(’src’, ‘http://johnvey.com/features/deliciousdirector/dboot.js’); document.body.appendChild(element)})())
Opera compatible. Its Firefox compatible too but just not IE obviously. Enjoy Opera users.

As a result , I have to wait some to renew director page..
What is this problem caused from…?
Could you fix it plz…?

Comment by jamb — February 26, 2007 @ 3:09 am
I started googling this morning for exactly this kind of del.icio.us interface. The speed and presentation are great.
Few ideas;
- When I search for t:tag I would like it to highlight in the Tag Browser as well. At present, scrolling to find one of my many tags is tedious.
- Allow resizing of the screen layout, I would like more vertical space for the Tag Browser
- Predict the tab that is being typed
May thanks for writing this. David

Comment by Stefan — March 18, 2007 @ 3:44 pm
Fantastic extension. Does exactly what I want, allowing me the convenience of an ad-hoc hierarchical tag search without having to pre-plan anything. Previously I used the Bookmark Tags extension for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/998/), but that build an exponentially expanding number of bookmark folder hierarchies so it wasn’t ideal.
The one improvement I would suggest is in the tag pools displayed at the top of the window. The leftmost one contains all my tags, the second displays all tags used in combination with the one selected in the first, the third contains all tags used in combination with the first two, and so on. What I’d prefer to see is a single tag pool. Each time I click on a tag, it gets highlighted and all unrelated tags disappear from the pool. That way I’d end up with the equivalent of the contents of the rightmost tag pool plus the highlighted ones from the other pools. Just to round things off, clicking on a highlighted tag would unhighlight it and the tag pool content would be recalculated.
This ides would make it easier to use direc.tor from the Firefox sidebar, where screen real-estate is at more of a premium.
Thanks for a great tool.

-On page refresh I only get the message: Unable to load your bookmarks!
I cant seem to get this to reload thereafter unless I close the browser and reopen it. Also changes made during the use don’t seem to be changed in direc.tor although they are changed on del.icio.us
-Also just a wish - it’d be awesome if there was batch editing
And just a comment - it is awesome that you don’t only search by tag but also in the title

Sorry to bother you, but there’s no way to get this script working now. I remember using it on previous versions of Firefox, but on Firefox 2.0.0.11. Thanks!
Comment by Juan Ignacio — February 4, 2008 @ 7:00 am
Suspect it is not your code, but FYI: Firefox 3b4 seems to have broken direc.tor. Someone has mentioned JS engine changes between b3 and b4, and direc.tor worked fine in b3.
This is one of my favorite pieces of code, a thousand thanks for developing it. Once has to wonder why del.icio.us itself hasn’t formalized it as an extension…

Truly awesome! Congratulations on this brilliant piece of software!
I have a request for a new feature (it’d be a huge help for me and thousands of others):
- An import of bookmarks from PowerMarks 3.5
This guy tells the problem better than me:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ydn-delicious/message/215
PowerMarks is a Windows program that works pretty much just as your script. But many users, like me, are stuck with the bookmark file (Netscape-like) because del.icio.us can’t read it correctly. The tags aren’t imported anyway and the result is poor.
So this import feature would be very helpful for thousands of people. Please, please, please …?
Comment by Bjorn T. Jonsson — March 14, 2008 @ 11:16 pm
Your addon works a bit like the del.icio.us extension for firefox, 5.44, by Yahoo — but yours is better, with a tags column included in the bookmarks list. In this regard, I have a lot of untagged bookmarks that need tags. It would be a huge help to have something like the flat bookmark extension: a data edit window that changes as you highlight different bookmarks. Thne one just types in relevant tags, without having to click “edit” for each bookmark.
Also, I guess it takes two clicks on two linnks: first the API page, and then the direc.tor link — to start your director?
