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.
Effective XML is a guideline of best practices for using XML. It focuses on using and developing XML applications, with a particular emphasis on aspects of XML that are often misunderstood or misapplied.
[I]t takes balls to write an article for XML.com demonstrating how to parse an XML-based format without an XML parser.So here goes: I sped-read (speed-readed?) the article last night because I am already pretty familiar with the state of non-validating RSS feeds, tools like SGMLParser (you can probably parse RSS with HTML::Parser, but I've never tried) and the need to actually get something done in the face of all those people who don't give a rat's ass about The Right Way to do things. What I didn't notice was the bit about not using an XML parser. Now again, I think I understand where Mark is coming from and, if I do, I agree in principle with what he's trying to do. But it just seems so half-assed to go to all the trouble of parsing poorly formed XML, treat it like XML and then not actually return the data as XML. It is, I grant you, something of a pendantic argument. There's nothing to prevent me, or someone else, from adding hooks to Mark's rssparser code to define an
as_xml
method or add the hooks that would generate SAX events which, to my
thinking, would be the most useful thing because then you can magically
just assume it's XML again, like it's supposed to be. I suppose my
problem is one about what seems like a lazy design and a lazy
interface. I can see the need for something like this; ask any Perl
programmer who has to wrap all their calls to XML::Parser in
eval
blocks because it adheres to the XML spec and actually
die
s when it encounters a problem. It just seems so...inelegant. Your
mileage may vary.

Our stories will take us beyond convergence to emergence. There, news becomes the product of a universally distributed intelligence that develops from an interconnected society enabled by interactive media. It occurs in real time, self-regulating, constantly enhanced. The connections enabled by media lead to mutual recognition and enrichment of individuals, rather than a cult of communities and institutions.You know, it is refreshing to see such enthuastic exercises in hyperbole, crafted to a true artform during the mid-90s, make a comeback but it's just candy. So far, the analogies have been so piss-poor and the degree of stating the obvious so high that it's hard not to see this as little more than a way for people to spin their way into the ivory tower. After all, what the fuck is the point of having, or being, a "domain expert" in this goofy, story-licious, post-modern magic kingdom that's being described?
