Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database
table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life.
What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated
with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it
will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun
way to find stuff.
I can't say that I am much of a deep-thinker when it comes to
micro-payments.
Me : XML::FOAF::Emailaddress.pm 1.0
I wrote it because I am punch drunk on using the Perl overload
hooks -- which in this case overloads the '' operator to return the
garbled email address -- and because I can never remember how to
actually handle email addresses in FOAF.

Ian Davis demonstrates why John Poindexter, and the TIA weirdos,
are so keen on XML.

In the mess hall, soldiers bound for the field gorge themselves on

Everyone knows that as soon as this thing is released
the race will be on to see who gets a weblogging
"package" out the door first, right? After that, will come the RSS
aggregator package. Tool-makers would do well to
stake their claims
indeed. In other news, I am slowly working on a set of command-line tools
to deal with addresses, mail archives and weblogging all of which are
mapped together in interesting ways. Once I get the basics working I will
release the code under the banner of either
your mileage may vary
or
software that I think sucks less than yours does

xmlwebgui
"is a validating xml editor that runs in every
DOM-conform browser (Mozilla, Netscape6 and MSIE5+). On the client sie it
works with JavaScript and CSS, at the server side are some [Java]
servlets for parsing the DTD and transforming the xml data via XSLT."
Edward Tenner : The Shock of the Old
"[E]ngineering itself is not just the application
of mathematical equations but a subtle balance of aesthetics, economics
and science in which culture counts as much as calculation.
Computer-assisted design can accelerate execution of ideas but can never
replace the insight that comes from immersion in the traditions of
building. It was the cultural resonance of towers and polygons, used by
brilliant designers, that made the targets of September 11 such powerful
icons, not simply their acres of usable space."
I received a nice note from Ronald Bourret in response to this
post.

Mark Kingwell : "There are always too many gods, or too few, to
save us.
It is terrifying to realize we are all on our
own, down here in the land of the mortals. But sooner or later, we have
to grow up and look after ourselves, cherishing what is good in our
dreams and bracing for the nightmares that must come, from inside as well
as outside."

M.J. Dominus : ArrayHashMonster.pm
"manufactures an object that can be used as
either an array reference or a hash reference. Why would you ever want
such a thing? Well, it's the natural way to present an ordered hash. You
could then use $orderedhash->[7] to get item number seven, or
$orderedhash->{key} to get the item with the specified key." mmmm ....

Mike Hall : JavaScript Crunchinator
"This is not a script you would include on a web
page. Instead it's a utility that you can use to reduce files sizes by
compressing JavaScript code. By removing comments and extraneous spacing
you may significantly improve download times on pages that use long
scripts."
Dave Olszewski : Silly::Werder.pm
"is used to create pronouncable yet completely
meaningless language. It is good for sending to a text-to-speech program

kinds of fun things."

dude, where's my car
This document uses
CSS
kung-fu and a small amount of JavaScript for rendering its
contents. Efforts have been made to separate the form from the
content so if you are viewing this in a text-based browser it
shouldn't be an issue.
On the other hand it may look funny if you are viewing it in a
browser with incomplete
CSS
and/or JavaScript implementations. Internet Explorer 6 comes to
mind.
It's not that I don't love you. However, my time is limited and
I no longer feel very good about spending it working around any one
browser's inconsistencies with little, or no, confidence that they
will ever be fixed or otherwise made more inconsistent at some
later date.
On the other hand, if something is down-right
unreadable
please let me know and I will endeavour to fix it.

yes, we have no bananas
This page may not validate. It's not that I don't care, it's
just that I'm not aware of it yet. Part of the reason that I
rewrote the entire back-end for managing this site is that the old
stuff made it too easy for these kinds of mistakes to slip through
the cracks.
