post-xmas zza!

brain is currently lodged in b’more, sucking up resources at an alarming rate. I didn’t realize I was capable of so much sleep…

My recent pining over XSLT prompted rather an outstanding gift from my father-in-law. Of course, the first thing that happens is that it confirms my suspicions that the Xalan/Xerces combination is what I want to use for server-side XML parsing & XSLT. However, it also reinforced my suspicion that iwas going to require a lot more server tweaks/setup than I had originally planned on. (And by “originally”, I mean back before finishing my first XML book … when I just knew that XSLT worked exactly like CSS…) So now I’m wrestling with getting Tomcat set up … trying to get it and Apache to play nice and serve the applications I need. Etc. And they told me this Java shit was going to be sooooooo easy… Seems like each element requires another fundamental element that I thought I already had. *le sigh*

I’m on vacation.
