Google just saved me the effort.  Thanks Goog!
I’ll have to take a look and see if I can make something real outta this…

After nearly 3 months sitting on my bookshelf, I got around to reading the Microformats book. I probably don’t need to mention that they’ve been pretty high on the “buzz” list for a while now. That aside, I like the idea, and believe they are worth using. With this post, I hope [...]

Well, that was kinda fun.  I was trying to create a post, and when after I edited a <pre>, something I did killed Wordpress within Firefox on my MacBook.  So I went inside and tried it on my frankenmac, and Firefox died there… three times.  Odd.  So I turned on my trusty old PC, and it crashed [...]

So I had a problem a while back where I thought Firefox for Mac was picking up some left-over or un-overridden size styles, while the other browsers were not. It turns out that it wasn’t actually my problem.
While all of the other browsers that I tested… for both Windows and Mac display the default [...]

I know the title isn’t English… but I’m a little out of it after what I just watched.
Not that I really need to say this, but between writing two blog posts, doing some XSLT exercises, playing with the cat, and a few other random things, I only ended up looking up at Snakes on a [...]

Last Monday through last Wednesday I attended Mulberry Technologies’ XSLT course. I had a fun time, and learned a bunch.
To prepare, I looked through a few books. I looked through Jeni Tennison’s Beginning XSLT 2.0 book, but it wasn’t for me. I didn’t like how wordy it was… I got lost in [...]

From the views that you will see on all of the replays, you will see Kenny Lofton’s hand getting to the bag before Pedroia’s tag touches him. That I will give you. However, from my view point, the point at which the Indians left fielder was out was AFTER that… when his [...]

I’ve got a concert tongiht. Check out the Columbia Orchestra site for details. Tchaikovsky 4, along with Strauss’ first Horn Concerto, and a Brandenburg. Should be pretty good, especially since I’ve practiced a fair amount for this.
I don’t expect anyone I know to come, as there is also something going on in Boston [...]

I am finished my XSLT class, and learned some very interesting things.  Very cool the way some of the features of the language fit within the context of Scheme (and Lisp, for that matter).   More to come.

Tonight I am packing for Boston.  Red Sox ALCS game 2 is tomorrow evening, and I wouldn’t miss it for the world.  I was looking forward to visiting my friend Kacy, but I haven’t been able to get in touch with her yet.  Kristen, my other Boston cello-playing girl has been in touch, and we’re [...]
