Well, I suppose it’s a bit late to be posting new year’s resolutions so I’ll just skip straight on to other things. I’ve picked up a couple of new ODP categories to play with. ODP still hasn’t gotten the RDF export fixed. They seem to be having some major scaling issues right now. Wish they’d [...]
