Autoupdating Firefox extensions page

UPDATE: Completed. Works pretty ok for now.

I stumbled upon this cool extension called infolister. It lists your currently installed extensions , themes and whatnot. The idea is to periodically upload an .xml file to the server (the infolister extension already does this) and then parse that with PHP. Seems its much easier to do in PHP5 than 4 which is what my host is using.. argh. There is a test page (taken down – completed) for now, which I scrambled together that just does a simple burp of the file output as text without an special formatting.

Del.icio.us to Links

Update:

I tried a bunch of solutions including JSON and JS type solutions both from del.icio.us itself as well as PHP feed solutions like feedsplitter etc. Currently, I’m testing out Magpie for rss integration. Its great! Next step is to see if there is a way to do alphabetical sorting of rss feeds prior to rendering the page.

UPDATE: Ok, this is not a great idea. Flash is limited in that it can only track the mouse cursor from with the flash stage. I am told that perhaps Lingo (Director/Shockwave) would allow this. Unfortunately its not appealing to me to learn Lingo at this point. =)
