  • A Tale of Two Webs

    Editor Note: This was first publishing Nov. 23, 2009.

    And no. I'm not going to start out with "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times". But I will tell you what kind of time it was.

    It was a big damn Gold Rush.

    As gold rushes tend to do, it made a mess of a lot of things; some got rich and most didn't, and those who were already wealthy figured out how to take advantage of the situation. And there's one other major thing that gold rushes do: they tend to tilt balances.

  • oXygenXML XML Editor got me out of my emacs shell

    Published originally on 2010-07-23.

    Yesterday, a tweet, from @jirkakosek, reminded me that I needed to mention a recent bit of work I got done using the impressive oXygenXML XML editor.

    Over the later part of last year and early part of this year I had collated a series of small recipes I had been gathering for a modest little book (Ant Recipes for Web Developers). These recipes were just simple little snippets of how to subvert Apache Ant to do common web related software development tasks. I thought that with me spending most of my time on XProc I had to 'clear the decks' with previous technologies ... I had used Apache Ant for many years for many of the things that XProc is purpose built to do.

  • XML Today Returns

    ... and we're back.

    XML Today has been an exercise in discovering the limits of what PHP can do in handling content management systems. This site has run under Drupal and (very briefly) Joomla, and after having the last couple of months of content wiped out by an errant database error during a system upgrade on the previous system, it seemed like a good time to give WordPress a try.

    The mission remains (more or less) the same ... cover what's going on in the XML Community, explore evolving technologies such as XQuery, XProc and the Semantic Web, and provide help and discussion about the technical and developmental aspects of XML.
