  1. Generally, working on my own is great. But sometimes, like today, you get a big order and you want to go out with the team to celebrate.
  2. Extending Saxon streaming to handle things like sum(a/b/c) in streaming (push) mode template rules. Event-based programming gone crazy.
  3. I pointed out to BlogHarbor months ago that using m/d/y dates in mail to UK users was a bad idea. But they're still doing it.
  4. RT @glynmoody: http://bit.ly/3eRDl1 a cautionary tale for software patent supporters [yes, amazingly, such people exist]
  5. @onion_papa [XSLT 2 and Delimited Lists] That article is badly out of date. The XSLT2 spec was an early draft at the time.
  6. Wrote a note to the XSLT WG analyzing the streamability of the expressions .//section/head vs .//section/string-join(head)
  7. Reminder to self: I didn't come upstairs to marvel at marine shipping web sites, I came here to raise some invoices.
  8. @KjerstiBakke [xsl:key] A good place for such questions is the xsl-list at mulberrytech.com. Always helpful.
  9. In queue behind lady in burka with 3 kids in tow, buying large box of fireworks. I wonder what they think of Guy Fawkes? Dare I ask?
  10. @pipkay [my 13 mile cold, wet, midnight walk] Hope it was fun anyway!
  11. @robinberjon [There are plenty of languages in which that is trivial] Which is why it's frustrating that Java isn't one of them!
  12. I wish I could flip the implementation class of an object without having to change the identity of the object and update all references.
  13. Looking at bug from @nwalsh: starts with 28 namespace declarations. Will have to reconsider policy of using serial search to lookup prefixes
  14. @SheltieJim [() equals ()] Hey, I should have read the agenda more carefully.
  15. In W3C Schema telcon, wordsmithing the conformance rules for XSD 1.1
  16. Saxon debugging under Eclipse: http://bit.ly/TNSgN
  17. @scottgal I often see people writing 500 lines of Java/C# to do what would take 50 lines in XSLT 2.0.
  18. @martin_probst Shame your blog isn't open for comments. I think you're wrong on namespaces, and I think you undervalue spec conformance.
  19. @robknight [Looking for training on XSLT] The expert is Ken Holman at cranesoftwrights.com
  20. @scottgal [a third language just complicates things] Then get rid of the C#. Seriously.
