"Standardizing human expression through XML. ... With HumanMarkup, we can finally explicitly annotate and represent the relevant information within a communications session, including emotions, intentions, motivations and allusions. Further, we can use XSLT transformations to represent the various embedded human qualities within a document. For example, a speech containing anger may be represented in a larger font or louder voice. Emails that are meant to be taken seriously could be displayed in bolder text than emails that are meant to be taken lightly could be displayed in lighter text. The embedded emotional content within a message could be aurally or visually represented when a mouse rolls over the words. Finally, the embedded cultural context within a text could explicitly represent the mindset and associations of the communicator."
Brian Aker : myperl
"creates a poor man's stored procedure for MySQL using
perl. You can store perl in a column (or just pass it directly to the
myperl function). ... myperl() be default only returns 254 characters.
Making this do more is in the next list of things to happen. At the
moment most calls to modules causes mysql to core (Something is up with
the loader). Keep in mind that this is still experimental. At the moment
I bet this has a bug or two in it and I have no idea exactly how fast this
is. If people find it useful I will probably add more to it. Have fun."
