Outlook Contacts from OPML

I love our community. From Eric’o'theque, Gnomedex Outlook Contacts from the Gnomedex OPML. It doesn’t work with Outlook 2000, though:
Here’s something interesting for the other attendees: Chris released the OPML of the folks registered for Gnomedex. Dave pointed to a directory listing web page created out of the OPML. Over the weekend and a few recent late nights, I ran a script to get the OPML into Outlook as contacts and then decided to put snapshots of the various speakers into the contact cards, along with throwing in categories for Gnomedex and Gnomedex-Speaker.
Then I gave the mouse a cookie.
I decided, hey, why not get to know all of your fellow attendees by visiting their given web page. And, hey, if they have a headshot, why not throw that into their contact info. Oh, and, hey, if they have a bio or such, why not throw that into their contact details.
This got a little carried away. So I’d like to share it, if I could: Outlook contacts for Gnomedex 06.

for nearly 300 people (with a glass or two of fine Woodinville red wine in me). I also didn’t fill in much for the speakers since they are well known. Drop me a line at Eric_Richards at ericri dot com if you have any comments / feedback. Update:Chris notes this doesn’t work with Outlook 2000. Sorry. gnomedex - gnomedex6 - gnomedex2006 - gnomedex06 - Eric Richards

“Why would I care, since I’m not a blogger?”, but there are plenty of tech bloggers and podcasters that I’m sure you follow. Folks like Josh Bancroft, Todd Cochrane, Niall Kennedy, and even Chris himself. Hey, if you’re interested in the full list, you can add ‘em all to your Outlook contacts, courtesy of a little OPML and scripting! -kct
