@theavangelist this is what they used in Berlin: http://nodecopter.com/img/venue-big.jpg… we're looking to house 20 or 60 ppl. likely nowhere near as big – Remy Sharp on twitter
Andy Parker
@rem well, I think it may be worth asking them, it's photo studio in NEH so there is plenty of room, it's a blank canvas. – Andy Parker on twitter

@theavangelist @rem @laurencehill If you're looking for venue hire, we can hire all or part of our space. Get in touch if you'd like info – Create on twitter

@welovecreate @theavangelist I see the largest room is 90x90 which is too small for the hacking day – Remy Sharp on twitter

@rem it's a shame you can't hire out the North Laines, that place is bloody massive inside!.. but it is a pub – Andy Parker on twitter

Looks like node.js for windows is not there yet. Cannot get jsdom onto Azure https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/nodejs/… works perfectly on http://microformat-node.jit.su/ – Glenn Jones on twitter
Yavor Georgiev
@glennjones jsdom is one of the remaining native modules that don't work on Windows, working on it /cc @gblock – Yavor Georgiev on twitter
Dave Ward
@theyavor @glennjones @gblock Cheerio is a great jsdom alternative on Windows in situations that it does what's needed: http://encosia.com/cheerio-faster-windows-friendly-alternative-jsdom/… – Dave Ward on twitter
@Encosia @gblock Now got microformat-node working on Azure node.js hosting. Moved from JSDom to Cheerio great module https://github.com/MatthewMueller/cheerio…

@glennjones @Encosia great to hear. Been meaning to try out Cheerio. Jsdom does work, you just have to push the pre built binary. – Glenn Block on twitter

Faster version of microformat-node

– Updated: – public

I have just uploaded a new version of microformat-node. The parser now takes between 30-40 milliseconds to parse an average page, about 8 times the speed of the last version.

Features of new version

  • About 8x faster at parsing
  • Will now load onto Windows based hosting solutions correctly
  • Inbuilt cache system, which can be customised
  • Upgraded logging and trace options
  • Upgraded unit test system
  • Added support for JavaScript promise

 

Example: http://microformat-node.jit.su/ /> Code: https://github.com/glennjones/microformat-node

 

I have changed how the method calls work so if you are using the last version you may have to update your code. The parse methods parseHtml and parseUrl now follow the standard pattern used in node.js and return an error and data object rather than just the data object.

with URL


var microformat = require("microformat-node");

microformat.parseUrl('http://glennjones.net/about', function(err, data){
    // do something with data
});

or with raw html


var microformat = require('microformat-node');

var html = '
Glenn Jones
';
microformat.parseHtml(html, function(err, data){
    // do something with data
});

using a promise


var microformat = require("microformat-node");

microformat.parseUrl('http://glennjones.net/about').then( function(err, data){
    // do something with data
}));

  • Microformats
