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.
There's actually some good, even if ironic, news about data typing support in XSLT 2.0: if you're still using DTDs, and you're putting off a move to any schema format, you can use XSLT 2.0 stylesheets to add datatype checking to your system, further postponing a move to schemas.

my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
my $doc = $parser->parse_html_file("/path/to/file");
my ($span) = $doc->findnodes("/xpath/to/span/with/curyear");
# I happen to know that the first child
# is a text node containing the year
my $oldyear = $span->firstChild();
$oldyear->replaceNode(XML::LibXML::Text->new("2003"));
# Write changes to disk
Simple, right? Keen observers will have already noticed
that I had to read in the document using the
parse_html_file
method. If your root element says "html", regardless of
whether or not the DOCTYPE says XHTML, it is seemingly
impossible to parse a document using the standard
parse_*
methods. Which means that by the time you get around to
writing your DOM to disk you cant do things
like...drumroll...include an XML declaration. And if you
decide to simply write the declaration out by hand, don't
bother trying to call any of the encoding methods. Maybe
there is some deeper magic I have yet to learn but all I
was able to do was make the Perl interpreter dump core.
Still with me? Okay, so we're going to write the
declaration by hand and just assume we know what we're
dealing with when it comes to encodings. Now remember the
bit about being in an HTML context? Logically, the thing to
do is follow the docs, call the
toStringHTML
method and hope for the best. The best in this case is a
terrible journey back to 1998 because all the singletons in
the well-formed documents you've laboured over are suddenly
left open and dangling. And don't bother throwing caution
to wind and just calling
toString
, not if you use the clever C-style comments hack to hide
the <![CDATA[]]> blocks so that your XHTML
can valid and be understood by a web browser. Who the fuck
knows why, but libxml will turn in to this :
<![CDATA[ /* <![CDATA[ */ @import url(some.css) /* ]]> */ ]]>Oh yeah, and it will include an XML declaration for you. So long as you dont mind that it doesn't specify the encoding. Ugh.
rsync is not without its flaws but it is also not a wheel that needs to be reinvented. I did not realize that someone had gotten it to work under Win98 so I point this out for future reference as much as for anything else.My version of rsync+ssh is a very stock-standard rsync, with the cygwin1.dll (currently version 1.3.6-6), and a simplified version of ssh. It is version 1.2.26 (yeah, ok, old, but works well enough for this). The main difference is that you can put the whole thing in one directory, wherever you like (e.g. c:\rsync or c:\program files\rsync). And you specify your username and home directory with environment variables (e.g. SET USERNAME=bloggs), i.e. you don't need /etc/passwd. You also don't need /usr, /usr/bin etc.
