A slightly improved version of this ruby script you can use to backup your delicious bookmarks to an sqlite3 database.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rexml/document'

require 'sqlite3'
require 'json'

    url varchar(1024),
    title varchar(1024),
    note varchar(2048),
    time timestamp
);
create table tags (hash char(32), tag varchar(1024));
create index ix_tags_hash on tags (hash);
create index ix_tags_tag on tags (tag);
EOF
insert_url = 'insert into bookmarks (hash, url, title, note, time) ' +
             'values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?);'
insert_tag = 'insert into tags (hash, tag) values (?, ?);'


rcfile_path = File.join(ENV['HOME'], rcfile_base)

	d = Dir.new(j['dir'])
	b = []
	re = Regexp.new(dbfile_base + "[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]\.db")
	d.each {|entry| if re.match(entry) then b.push(entry) end }
	if b.nitems > j['max_bkp']
        	b.sort()[0, (b.nitems - j['max_bkp'])].each {|olddb|
	                File.unlink(File.join(j['dir'], olddb))
        	}
	end
end

The patch is here.
I hope it will get upstream.

Let's write a quicksort implementation in J programming language..

Many thanks to Vlad! :)

see you :)

Sinceramente questa patacca mi ricorda vagamente i diari delle compagne di
classe delle medie, mediamente piu` alti di tutti i libri di testo impilati.

Vabbeh, mettiamolo giusto per aggiornare questo blog :)

You know, one day, when I was a little boy, my mother she took me on her knee
and she said: "Gaston, my son. The world is a beautiful place. You must go into
it, and love everyone, not hate people. You must try and make everyone happy,
and bring peace and contentment everywhere you go." And so... I became a
waiter...
