A few months ago i made a small script that will take the Del.icio.us history of a URL and convert it to a CSV file. you might ask what the heck would this be good for. well i at first wondered the same thing when i was asked to make it.

Gene Smith a co-worker of mine is in the process of writing a book for Peach Pit/New Riders on tagging. So the Del.icio.us to CSV spits out a file that gene can open in Excel to look at tag order (and anything else that’s interesting).

I used a free php app called Magpie RSS is an XML-based RSS parser. So after a bit of mucking around and trial and error i was left with a little script that would do Genes bidding, it seams to work on a URL with under 500 bookmarks, anything after that it dies.
