NSDL Hacks

OK - I admit it. I've been doing some programming. But I swear that most of it is just cut and paste!

I've plugged together some PHP, Javascript, Perl, Sqlplus, MySQL and XSLT to create a nice bookmarklet (to which idea I was first introduced by MovableType). What it does is takes an arbitrary webpage, submits it to a PHP script, and displays the result, with the URLs that represent resources in the NSDL decorated with little NSDL logos. If you click on the logo, you can find out the NSDL metadata about the resource. Check it out at my NSDL Experimental Tools site.
