Shell scripts, JavaScript pedantry, CSS fixations, Java debugging, and the rest of the polyglotism.
Making a big push to take my work-related XML projects to the next level. Why? Let’s just say that management is boring and tedious, lacking in the mental rewards that the problem-solving of programming-type ish offers. That being said, renewing my efforts on the ‘procdoc’ and ‘-faq’ projects for work seem a happy compromise. So […]
Spent about an hour or so working revisions to the DTD etc. tonight. Fixed a few (in retrospect) obvious errors and beefed up a few other things. Addressed several of the items w/r/t/ potential issues/complications with compilations. Made the bold decision to atomize it more rather than less, particularly w/r/t/ favoring the artist-track relationship over […]
Needing a new side-project, and with the flurry of vinyl-to-MP3 transfers going on around this joint, I decided to start up my own little XML standard for marking up the records. After about 20 minutes, here’s what we’ve got: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <!ELEMENT collection (record+)> <!ELEMENT record (artist, album, original, tracklisting, condition?)> <!ELEMENT artist (#PCDATA)> […]
WANTED: A non-Java based, preferably lightweight text editor with strong support for editing XML documents. Must have integrated XSLT functions (favor given to Xalan-based transformers), automatic tag closure, and the ability to infer the DTD in use. Preference given to feature rich apps that can demonstrate the ability to manage sets of documents as projects; […]
CURRENTLY AGGRAVATING: Blogger and FuitadNet, not playing nice. What I don’t get: My Blogger account can connect to the FuitadNet server just fine and dump my posts etc. up there w/ no difficulty. Clean and easy every time (and over SFTP no less). However, for whatever reason, A’s account refuses to connect over FTP or […]
*le sigh* The great Blogger switchback. Don’t get me wrong … I have mad love for Blosxom in theory but all that Perl was just making my nauseous. So F_D is back on Blogger. Grabbed a standard layout while I relearn the tags. (Was starting to get a headache from the toe-fungus yellow background anyway…) […]
Have attempted to hook up Blosxom’s atomfeed plug-in. Not sure yet if it’s working or not.
Combing through my Amazon wishlist this evening while looking for something else, I came to a particular realization. Well, not that particular… I stumbled across my entry for Moock’s Actionscript MX definitive guide and it dawned on me that I don’t really work with Flash. Not in any sense that seems worth writing home about. […]
Now you too can rock some Perl from PHP. Best of both worlds?
Let’s take a moment to reflect on cool things such as Aiwa’s mp3 recorder headphones. I know I mentioned recently that I got Resin up and running on KetelOne and that I was even able to get it and Apache talking. For this, I am proud. Now if I only had the extra 30 minutes […]
