<p>This importer uses the XML data that the delicious API produces for importing posts into WordPress. Heavily based on the RSS importer code included in WordPress.</p>
<h3>What it does</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Import Delicious XML" src="http://memografia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/importdel.png" alt="Import Delicious XML" width="500" height="232" /></p>
<ul>
<li>It uses the title of the link as the post title.</li>
<li>It can interpret the tags from Delicious as either Categories or Tags.</li>
<li>It interprets the &#8216;Notes&#8217; field as the post content.</li>
<li>It adds the link to the post content in a paragraph with the class &#8216;delicious_post_link&#8217;. Example: <code>&lt;p class="delicious_post_link"&gt;&lt;a href="http://google.com"&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</code></li>
</ul>
<h3>Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you choose &#8216;Tags&#8217;, the posts will default to the Uncategorized category.</li>
<li>It uses SimpleXMLParser so the XML file has to be well formed. It&#8217;ll transform &amp; to &amp;amp; but other characters could cause the script to choke. If it does choke, it&#8217;ll show the offending word/character so it&#8217;s easy to correct the error.</li>
<li>It eats the linebreaks from the Notes field. It shouldn&#8217;t be a problem as the XML export file doesn&#8217;t seem to respect them either.</li>
<li>It depends on the server but try to upload files of reasonable size.</li>
<li>It imports all the entries present in the XML file, including &#8216;private&#8217; and &#8217;sent&#8217; ones. Remember to delete them from the XML file if you don&#8217;t want them in your blog.</li>
<li><strong>I can&#8217;t provide support for this importer.</strong> <strong>I&#8217;m not a php programmer.</strong> Install at your own risk. Remember to backup.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Download</h3>
<p><a href="http://memografia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/delicious.zip">Delicious to Wordpress Importer</a> v0.1</p>
<h3>How to Install and Use</h3>
<p>Get your Delicious XML file from <a href="https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all">here</a> (you have to login) and save it somewhere. It may take a couple of refreshes before it works.</p>
<p>Unzip the downloaded importer and upload it to <code>/wp-admin/importer/</code> folder. A &#8216;Delicious&#8217; entry should appear in the Tools &gt; Import sub-section of the administration panel. Follow the on-screen instructions.</p>

<p>Last week Pidgin 2.6.0 (and later 2.6.1) got finally released. It has a couple of nice goodies like <a href="http://theflamingbanker.blogspot.com/2009/08/pidgin-260-its-about-time.html">audio&amp;video support for XMPP and theming support</a>, but the truth is, I was waiting for this update because <a href="http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/9066">they fixed the ability to save and use animated emoticons</a>. <img src='http://memografia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Upgrading Pidgin to the new version in a standard Ubuntu installation is quite easy, just follow the instructions detailed <a href="http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/">here</a> and update. However, it won&#8217;t work in <a title="Jolicloud" href="http://www.jolicloud.com/">Jolicloud</a> unless you make a small change to the second command to make the repository believe we are using Ubuntu Jaunty:</p>
<p><code class="code">echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \     <strong>`lsb_release --short --codename`</strong> main | \<br />
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list </code></p>
<p>Replace the bold text with &#8220;jaunty&#8221;, without quotes, so the whole thing ends up as</p>
<p><code class="code">sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \     67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8</code></p>
<p><code class="code">echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \    <strong>jaunty</strong> main | \ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.</code></p>
<p>Copy and paste both commands on a terminal and upgrade. That&#8217;s all. <img src='http://memografia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.jolicloud.com">Jolicloud</a> is a new OS for netbooks that offers, among other things, a software installer based around <a href="http://http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/prism/">Prism</a> applications (basically, webpages on a stripped down browser) and a few system staples like VLC.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-134" title="jolicloud" src="http://memografia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/jolicloud-500x292.jpg" alt="jolicloud" width="500" height="292" /></p>
<p>While the idea is good there&#8217;s not a lot of software available through their system yet and typing <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto">apt-get</a> in a terminal, while easy, can get confusing for someone used to a GUI. The alternative, <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto">Synaptic</a>, a graphic package manager, offers way too many alternatives and also ends up being confusing to a new user.</p>
<p>Ubuntu solved this dilemma by implementing a <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware#for%20Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu%20:%20%22Add/Remove%22">very simple application installer</a> that anyone can use. Jolicloud doesn&#8217;t include it but it&#8217;s very easy to add it.</p>
<p>Open a terminal window (Accessories &gt; Terminal in the launcher or press [ALT] + F2] and enter gnome-terminal) and copy&amp;paste the following command:</p>
<p><code class="code">sudo apt-get install gnome-app-install</code></p>
<p>Write your password when it asks for it and that&#8217;s it.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-128" title="addremoveapp" src="http://memografia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/addremoveapp-500x292.png" alt="addremoveapp" width="500" height="292" /></p>
<p>Note: The shortcut for the app should appear in Accessories (logging off may be necessary) but if not, it can be added via Preferences &gt; Main Menu.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-129" title="createlauncher" src="http://memografia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/createlauncher.png" alt="createlauncher" width="500" height="261" /></p>
<p>Update: Add/Remove seems to have been added to the default installation of jolicloud alpha 2c. <img src='http://memografia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>La fotografía muestra una de las cosas que más me llamaron la atención cuando llegué a Cork: los semaforos para peatones no te dan la pasada a menos que todos los semaforos relacionados con esa calle estén en rojo. La responsabilidad de no ser atropellado es del peaton en vez del automovilista. No sé si es mejor o peor, pero es agradable saber que nadie va a doblar repentinamente mientras cruzas.</p>
<p>Otra cosa curiosa es que casi nadie cruza la calle si el semaforo no se lo permite. He visto calles sin ningun auto circulando con gente esperando a cada lado en la calzada esperando el verde. Aunque es comprensible considerando la mala fama que tienen los conductores irlandeses.</p>
<p>En cualquier caso, los automovilistas de acá tambien tienen que cuidarse de no infringir la ley o les puede pasar lo siguiente.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="nocaption" style="text-align: center; width: 510px;"><img class="size-full wp-image-79 aligncenter" title="Bilingual Address Sign, Cork" src="http://memografia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/corkaddress.jpg" alt="Bilingual Address Sign, Cork" width="500" height="150" /></div>
<p>Since I had the idea of Memografía I wanted it to be bilingual. While my native language is Spanish, most of what I read and watch is in English, causing my first thoughts about writing something to be in this language even if I have to wrestle with it.</p>
<p>Surprisingly enough, while not supported by default, WordPress has a wide variety of choices when talking about multilingual blogging and in this post I&#8217;ve tried to briefly summarize them in four categories: Machine Translation, External Human Translation, Internal Human Translation and, finally, Multilingual Blogging.<span id="more-66"></span></p>
<h3>1. Machine Translation (aka The Lazy Way)</h3>
<div id="attachment_84" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-84" title="ConveyThis" src="http://memografia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/machinetranslation.jpg" alt="ConveyThis" width="500" height="150" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ConveyThis</p></div>
<p>By machine translation I mean using services like <a title="Google Translate" href="www.google.com/translate">Google Translate</a>, <a title="Altavista BabelFish Translation" href="http://world.altavista.com/tr">Altavista Babelfish Translation</a> and others to translate your blog automatically after clicking a link.</p>
<p><strong>Advantages</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It&#8217;s easy. In most cases the only thing you need to do is to activate the plugin to show the links for the different languages.</li>
<li>It provides the user multiple languages to choose from, not limited by the author&#8217;s knowledge.</li>
<li>According to <a title="Google Translator SEO | CHINAYOUREN" href="http://chinayouren.com/eng/2009/02/i-salute-my-loyal-readers-seo-google-goody/">this blogger</a>, it can be beneficial for your SEO.</li>
<li>It translates everything, including your theme.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Disadvantages</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The quality of the translations can go from &#8220;bad but understandable&#8221; to &#8220;eye-burningly awful and offensive to the nature of the human race&#8221;.</li>
<li>It depends on the external translation server.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Related Plugins</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a title="ConveyThis" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/conveythis-language-translation-plugin/">ConveyThis</a> (<a title="ConveyThis" href="http://www.conveythis.com/">plugin page and example</a>)</li>
<li><a title="Indoeuropean Translator Widget" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/indoeuropean-translator-widget/">Indoeuropean Translator Widget</a> (<a title="Indo-European Etymology Dictionary" href="http://indo-european.info/">plugin page and example</a>) – This  politically correct plugin uses the native language name instead of a flag</li>
<li><a title="Global Translator" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/global-translator/">Global Translator</a> (<a title="Wordpress Global Translator Plugin" href="http://www.nothing2hide.net/wp-plugins/wordpress-global-translator-plugin/">plugin page and example</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>My opinion</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a fast way to provide a convenient link to an external translator but I wouldn&#8217;t trust anything important on it. Normally seen on blogs with a million different widgets.</p>
<h3>2. External Human Translation (aka The Expensive Way)</h3>
<div id="attachment_87" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-87" title="ICanLocalize" src="http://memografia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/icanlocalize1.jpg" alt="ICanLocalize" width="500" height="150" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ICanLocalize</p></div>
<p>This method involves getting someone else to translate your content, either a freelance translator or an agency.</p>
<p><strong>Advantages</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Translations made by an expert are obviously much better than machine ones.</li>
<li>It doesn&#8217;t depend on the author.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Disadvantages</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You&#8217;ll probably have to pay for it. This may or not be a problem, it depends of how much you want a high quality translation for your content.</li>
<li>In most cases it involves coordinating yourself with your chosen translator, something that may take time.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Related Plugins</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a title="ICanLocalize Translator" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/conveythis-language-translation-plugin/">ICanLocalize Translator</a> and <a title="ICanLocalize Comment Translator" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/icanlocalize-comment-translator/">ICanLocalize Comment Translator</a> (<a title="Weblog Tools Collection" href="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/">example</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>My opinion</strong></p>
<p>This is the corporate world solution. If you have a business and need to reach people of different nationalities you probably don&#8217;t have enough time for the next method and can&#8217;t trust the previous one.</p>
<h3>3. Internal Human Translation (aka The &#8220;I have lots of time&#8221; Way)</h3>
<div id="attachment_89" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-89" title="xLanguage" src="http://memografia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/xlanguage.jpg" alt="xLanguage" width="500" height="150" /><p class="wp-caption-text">xLanguage</p></div>
<p>If you know more than one language and want to translate the posts yourself, this is the approach you want.</p>
<p><strong>Advantages</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Complete control over the translation of the posts.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Disadvantages</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It&#8217;s limited to the quantity of languages you are fluent in.</li>
<li>Depending of your content, it can get very time-expensive.</li>
<li>It can get hard to maintain database-wise depending of the plugin.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Related Plugins</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Gengo" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gengo/">Gengo</a> – Not tested in 2.7</li>
<li><a title="xLanguage" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xlanguage/">xLanguage</a> (<a title="xLanguage" href="http://hellosam.net/project/xlanguage">plugin page and example</a>)</li>
<li><a title="qTranslate" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/qtranslate/">qTranslate</a> (<a title="qTranslate" href="http://www.qianqin.de/qtranslate/">plugin page and example</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>My opinion</strong></p>
<p>If you are learning a language and want to translate, sure, try this. However, it&#8217;s a <em>huge</em> time sink. Paraphrasing <a title="Life and Trials of a Multilingual Weblog" href="http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2004/07/11/multilingual-weblog/">Stephanie Booth</a>, translating each post raises the &#8220;publication barrier&#8221; of blogging, it&#8217;s no longer as easy as writing and hitting Publish.</p>
<h3>4. Multilingual Blogging (aka The Simple Way)</h3>
<div id="attachment_90" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-90" title="Basic Bilingual" src="http://memografia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/basicbilingual.jpg" alt="Basic Bilingual" width="500" height="150" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Basic Bilingual</p></div>
<p>Instead of translating all of your content, post individual entries in different languages. Optionally, provide a summary on the reader&#8217;s language.</p>
<p><strong>Advantages</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Complete control over the language of each post.</li>
<li>You can do it without using any extra plugins.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Disadvantages</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Again, it&#8217;s limited to the quantity of languages you are fluent in.</li>
<li>There&#8217;s a risk of losing readers if they can&#8217;t understand half the posts of your blog. Adding a summary in the other language may help in bilingual blogs but I&#8217;m not sure about the viability of that on multilingual ones.</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll probably need a plugin of the previous method to translate your theme if you want it to be multilingual.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Related Plugins</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Basic Bilingual" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/basic-bilingual/">Basic Bilingual</a> (<a title="Basic Bilingual 0.3 for Multilingual Blogging" href="http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2007/11/30/basic-bilingual-03-for-multilingual-blogging/">plugin page and example</a>) – Makes it very easy to add a summary in another language to your posts. Unfortunately, it has a problem with its associated boxes on the administration screen. It&#8217;s impossible to move them and their default position is the bottom of the page, making the plugin unconfortable but not impossible to use.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>My opinion</strong></p>
<p>This one is the simplest one. Write in whatever language you want, publish, you&#8217;re done. On the other hand, it may have SEO implications and it can get confusing for the reader. It&#8217;s perfect for a personal blog but I&#8217;m not sure if I would use it on a professional one.</p>
<h3>My Approach</h3>
<p>I&#8217;m currently on the &#8220;Multilingual Blogging&#8221; camp, writing in both English and Spanish according to the content while providing a summary in the other language to keep everyone happy (or at least, informed).</p>
<p>I chose this after reading <a title="Climb to the Stars" href="http://climbtothestars.org/">Stephanie Booth&#8217;s blog</a> and <a title="Multilingual — Climb to the Stars" href="http://climbtothestars.org/focus/multilingual/">her work on bilingual blogging</a>. If I&#8217;m honest with myself, if I had to translate each post I would never post. Ever.</p>
<p>The summaries on this site were based on the ones she has on her blog. I was actually going to use her plugin but the issue I detailed earlier made me reconsider. I ended up replicating its functionality by using <a title="Custom Field Template" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-template/">Custom Fields Template</a> and a couple of custom queries on the template.</p>
<p>Of course, I&#8217;m not the only one who was written on the topic. Here are some related links:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a class="flickr-image" title="Barcelona" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23026698@N00/3264614121/"><img title="Barcelona, Spain" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3391/3264614121_8eb2cbf0a4.jpg" alt="Barcelona" width="500" height="375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Barcelona, España</p></div>
<p>Gracias al espectacular regalo de navidad por parte de Sabrina y John pude ir a Barcelona la semana pasada a disfrutar una cálida semana invernal.<span id="more-58"></span></p>
<p>De Cork a Barcelona hay 1420 km, más o menos. El vuelo dura un par de horas y el reloj se atrasa una hora comparado a Irlanda, quedando con 4 horas de diferencia con respecto a Chile.</p>
<p>No me hicieron mucho lío para salir del país, cosa que no sorprende considerando que el problema (yo) deja ser de ellos el momento que salgo de sus fronteras. Entrar a España fue otra cosa, me detuvieron en inmigración y con mucha renuencia me dejaron pasar tras contestar sus preguntas de cuanto dinero traía, donde me iba a quedar, si tenía ticket de vuelta, etc. Otra vez, no es algo que sorprenda. Por lo que me comentaban en la hostal, a menos que vayas con familia, un grupo turístico o tengas cara de gringo, es dificil que no te detengan si eres latino.</p>
<p>El primer día me dediqué a recorrer las calles cercanas a la hostal, llegando hasta la plaza Catalunya y el Barrio Gótico, aprovechando lo cálido que es el invierno en Barcelona.</p>

<p>El segundo día me comencé a dar cuenta que con lo grande que es Barcelona no me rendía caminar sin rumbo asi que fui especificamente a dos lugares, el Palau Nacional (el cual estuve convencido hasta el día siguiente de que era el Castillo Montjuic) y la iglesia de la Sagrada Familia.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a class="flickr-image" title="Barcelona" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23026698@N00/3264553695/"><img title="Espanya Square" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1406/3264553695_0e7412b913.jpg" alt="Barcelona" width="500" height="375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Plaza Espanya, camino al Palau Nacional</p></div>

<p>Despues de visitar el Palau Nacional era dificil pensar que podia ver algo más espectacular ese día, pero la Sagrada Familia superó todas mis espectactivas. Salí mirando en la dirección opuesta de la estación de Metro y por algunos momentos me pregunté donde estaba la catedral hasta que me volteé. Quedé con la boca abierta, literalmente.</p>

<p>Lamentablemente anochecía temprano, más o menos a las 18:30 (aunque más tarde que en Cork, donde anochece a las 17:30) asi que el día en general se me hacía corto y Barcelona tiene la suficiente mala fama como para no querer salir solo de noche con camara.</p>
<p>Al otro día, siguiendo mis meta de dos lugares por día, fui al verdadero Castillo Montjuic y al Parque Güell (este último por recomendación de <a title="Dos Gatos en el Tejado" href="http://www.2gatos.com">Tatiana</a>).</p>

<p>Ya en mi último día, trás caminar por las Ramblas, decidí rendirme a la presión turistica y tomé el &#8220;Bus Touristic&#8221;, un bus que recorre las calles de Barcelona dando explicaciones en multiples idiomas a través de audifonos. Pero antes, pasé al Museo de Ciencias CosmoCaixa, el segundo más grande de Europa.</p>

<p>Definitivamente estos fueron los 5 días más cortos de mi vida, siento que tal vez pude haber visto muchas más cosas en ese tiempo pero probablemente no hubiera sido lo mismo.</p>
<p>Sorprendentemente, no me hicieron problemas para volver a Irlanda aunque sospecho que fue por la cola que se estaba armando detrás mio para ingresar al pais y a la falta de gente atendiendo.</p>
<p>Termino esta entrada con mis dos fotos favoritas del viaje. <img src='http://memografia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
