I mention this in passing since it was released while I was "away". It is the polished version of the Apache::ImageViewer package mentioned in an earlier post about slideshows. I am slowly working my way through the rest of the project. First, there is a XML::Filter::XML_Directory_2::Base package which might get finished over the weekend. Then there is XML::Filter::XML_Directory_2XHTML which is more interesting than plain vanilla XSLT because it allows users to define event-based handler and callback widgets first introduced in XML::Filter::XML_Directory_2RSS and now part of the Base.pm library. Unlike the original train of thought, which imagined modifying the XHTML DTD to allow for "inline" meta tags on a per-image basis, I am thinking of simply wrapping stuff in &ltdiv class = "meta"> tags and setting their display value to "none" via CSS. The problem with this approach is that it does't fail very gracefully in text browsers of Netscape 4. Maybe I will just write another SAX filter...

The story I heard was that, shortly before his death during the filming of Blade Runner, Dick had a dream where he saw Harrison Ford utter the immortal line "Freeze, or you're a dead android" - which is why I still have the still of Decker holding his gun in front of the immobile Pris just before she starts wailing on him. He woke up in a cold sweat and raced down to the studio and had his concerns laid to rest. via boing boing
