Using Coconut Oil In Baking



For the moment I have made great progress with my Splinder-exporter Blogspot.
As I said, I'm using as Beautiful Soup parser, since it is more permissive than the standard, because of errors.

At this early stage I am trying to rebuild an index of all posts, then to recover the contents one by one.

Unfortunately the initial phase, which is to do the parsing of HTML is becoming more difficult than I thought: for some reason the parser crashes in the middle of the page, before you start to analyze the post.

's not all, I did the following test: I opened the page with Firefox, then I saved to a file, and I opened that page instead of the remote, well, everything worked perfectly (in the sense that retrieves the data that interest me). My suspicion is that there are illegal characters in the page that Firefox probably unable to solve alone. Should I try another parser and see the result. In particular, try with a validating XML parser, tell me where there is an error.

What happened has led me to make the following conclusions:
  1. The template does not follow the letter of the rules of HTML, XHTML, or even better, can be a problem, because it makes life very difficult for existing parser.
  2. You can repair a badly written HTML code, but there is a risk that some parts may be lost.
If nothing else I'm learning new things about the "sanitized" ill-formed HTML. Sure, there would be a brutal eliminate all the templates and leave only the part included in tag, which is what has become the main column with all posts.
This will eliminate the problem of having pages of complicated and also speeds up the parsing, but I would avoid this solution if possible.

Perfect Masterbation Items

A Change of Season + Any Other

News of the day (a real scoop) : Today begins the astronomical autumn (autumn weather, by convention begins on September 1). At the bottom is the season that, climatically speaking, cope better, considering that:
  • summer is too hot
  • winter is too cold
  • In spring the temperature is good, but I'm allergic and I can not enjoy
is also a good season for the photos, seems to say a commonplace of elementary schools, but the multi-colored fallen leaves are well suited for photographs. My idea is to throw myself on good old analog to experiment a bit 'with the black and white infrared film and maybe even.

Second news of the day it is published the first issue of a new newspaper, "The daily show, directed by Antonio Padellaro written by many journalists and" awkward ", that they do their work, including Marco Travaglio . I could not buy it because it's sold out. However, on the one hand I'm happy because it means that successful ...

not come in threes : I'm making a small software to transfer your blog from Blogspot to Splinder. For the moment it is still usable, however, leave here on the blog if you really want to follow the development and maybe try it. The only things I can say is that it's written in Python and will be open source.

And now a bit 'of tech-talk for those interested in programming:
We are still in their infancy, but even the HTML parsing essereun step is trivial. In fact, the class HTMLParser Python requires a valid HTML according to the XHTML. And rightly so, s'inchioda and raises an exception before you get to the information that interest me.
Luckily I found an alternative to the standard parser, which seems well made: it is called Beautiful Soup , whose motto is: "Do not you wrote that code HTML. Interests you only pull out some data. Not interested to know that aspect should be HTML. Even in this parser . "In the sense that you do not care too much about form, but only to extract the data you need.
soon give you a post with all the information for those wishing to try and track development.

EU: The Internet creates new illiteracy EXCLUSION

Today
not only is considered illiterate who can not read and write but those who do not know how to use telematics, internet and social networking. To work, in fact, it is increasingly required to use these tools. But even in everyday life do not know what a social network or do not know an internet search is likely to marginalize millions of people from society.
Who says these simple but important concepts is the European Commissioner responsible for Information Society Viviane Reding , in a statement released in Brussels, which explains how the 27 EU countries must do more to educating citizens the use of new media, such as social networks or digital TV, to avoid the risks of exclusion.
According to the Commissioner, in fact, "people who can not use new media like social networks or digital TV will find it difficult to interact with the world around them and take part."
responsible for the EU should therefore "make sure that everyone is so polite to the media 'are not excluded." "We are turning more to the citizens, but they can respond?" Asks again Reding, adding: "Put them in a position to use the media expertise and creative 'would be a step towards a new generation of democratic participation."
Despite the price of the connection, particularly broadband, have more and more 'to everyone, Brussels stressed that the "24% of EU citizens without Internet at home say they do not have it due to lack of capacity' needed to use it."

Unclogging Canon Mp530 Printer

Sellaband, when the important thing is to believe (in music)!

often on Web search is one thing and another it is more interesting.
few days ago looking for information about a group called Nemesea , Dutch symphonic rock band, for those who are interested in. Doing the usual research on the Italian Wikipedia, I realize that there is a page dedicated to them, but I find them mentioned in another article. The name of the Sellaband page.
Intrigued, I begin to read, and I find that this is a site whose aim is to produce artists who want to make a disk without going into the circuit of the majors. What is innovative is the way they collect the funds, with a system that operates from the bottom: Anyone can join the site and decide to become a "believer" (and here we explain the post title) of a particular artist, pouring a share (defined as "part") of $ 10. The artist, meanwhile, can sign up for free and create a profile, biography, pictures and demos of their songs.
When you reach the quota of $ 50,000, Sellaband is committed to producing the disc.
But what earns the believer? First of all, a finished work will get a limited edition copy of the disc. If you have paid several times their height, can choose to receive as many copies as its parts, or sell the discs through the site in excess.
If the disc will be produced for the artist retires, you can always move the share to another artist, or receive a refund.
As you can see, you do not lose anything and in any case it has helped to enrich the music scene with deserving people. Nemesea
What does have to do with it? Simple, they are the first band to have reached the fateful goal of $ 50,000, and he then produced a disc. The other
interesting thing to me is the absolute, (at least in theory) independent of the system imposed by the majors, which usually forces the authors (emerging, of course) to accept contracts from hungry and sometimes even lose money, just to see the release of their album.

PS This is the post that was lost on Splinder, and that I rewrote from scratch. Perhaps the original version was a bit 'longer, I'm not sure. However, it seems to me wrote a little 'better.

Period Urination Painful

A new beginning ... and invective against

This is my old blog: The Final Experiment

do not really have never used the blog much, but I believe that good blogging platform should aim primarily to simplicity.
I could install Wordpress or any other blogging software on my personal space: this would give me greater freedom to customize, but just did not feel the need. When it happens I will.
I am interested primarily have a place to write down some of the content they find interesting for me (and hopefully for others) along with personal reflections and so on, but sets conditions Splinder quite strange to manage a blog. Here are the main faults I found:
  1. To save draft messages that ask you to pay a subscription. For what I need, not worth the expense. If the conditions were different, maybe I would, but for what I think, then spend a little more for a website and we install Wordpress ...
  2. Personalization is rather inconvenient: the smallest change necessary to change the entire page template. After you've tried and recommended to my friend, I am sorry because I put her in trouble when it comes to adding a simple link in a welter of HTML / CSS. The Blogger system is much more comfortable, and offers a good compromise.
  3. step 2. can be solved by using a layout already made (and they are many!) provided you find a perfect or nearly so. Ma .. Many creators of layout require that it is not modified , not even in color . It's fine for copyright owners to take their work there, but honestly I find it an exaggeration. The standard layouts are freely editable, so I took one of those, and I've done what I wanted. Too bad that was not much of a girlfriend.
  4. editor WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get): great, it works fine. But I have often had difficulties in the layout and put videos from Youtube content, I had to edit the HTML by hand to fix it. And worst of all, for security reasons that frankly I do not want to investigate, I can not copy and paste with the context menu (right), but only with CTRL + C and CTRL + V. Very convenient, really.
Then there was the straw that broke the camel's back here about how it went.
  • I wrote a post after a long silence.
  • Well, the public, but the title I do not like, and I decide to change it.
  • The change means a good but ... I made a spelling error.
  • I try to change it again, but remains as before.
  • then decide at this point to copy-paste and rewrite it in a new post.
  • Nothing to be done, there is always the case.
  • Then I think: OK, I'll update later.
  • On my return, the post had disappeared, a sign that had been effectively canceled.
At this point I thought, "bye bye Splinder!" It was a long time since I tried blogger, and having already a Gmail account I had not even make the effort to register.

About the blog name, I kept the same theme of the former: it is always taken from an album of Ayreon , but later: The Universal Migrator Part I: The Dream Sequencer . The Dream Sequencer is a machine that allows you to mentally relive past events, a sort of "machine of memories" if you will. Until next time!

PS If my motivation still not enough, take a trip on the blog soluzioni.splinder.com (which by the tone of the users' posts should be renamed problemi.splinder.com)
