Friday warps
Friday I puttered around, grinding my teeth about the construction noise from across the street (buzzsaws and jackhammers), until I came to my senses and took a walk, and brought my laytop. I ended up at the diner, where I ended up sitting and reading up on XSL, and experimenting with it.
My verdict: it's an odd language. I think of it as like the
I came home and ended up talking with Coraline about bending space. The clever Coraline finds it fascinating (and presumably not implausible), but I am still skeptical. I mean, it's all fun and games until you screw up and generate enough gamma rays to sterilize the solar system! Oops.
I pour myself a cup of strong coffee. :-)

XSLT Problem Space (Score:2)
XSLT is great, so long as you don't try and push it too far. For turning one bit of xml into another slightly different bit of xml, it's great. For much else, it might be able to do it, but it's damned hard work.
