A picture named jon-tball-small.jpg Today was Jonathan's first day of t-ball. That's him on the left grinning like crazy. He had a good day, making a putout at first while playing pitcher.

Take another look at Xerces Call this a personal bookmark, because I need to go and read this article about DOM based parsing with Xerces sometime this weekend. I want to compare notes and it'll get me ready for some questions I have for next week.

Some co-workers went to a BEA conference in San Diego a couple weeks back and I heard last week that BEA has some sort of speed optimized, random DOM access code in either their new frameworks or in WebLogic 7 (is there really a difference?) Anyway, I know you can do random access in a DOM, I did it three years ago in my own tree implementation. I need to make sure my Xerces assumptions are correct (that you can do random access using a full XML path or using a partial path based on the current parent node).

MacOS X 10.1.3 I just finished plowing through the new technote for OsX versions 10.1.1 through 10.1.3 (courtesy of mac.scripting.com), and nothing jumps out at me about USB. I don't get kernel crashes on my dual CPU box when waking from sleep, I get them when using the heck out of my system. I'm usually wildly waving the mouse around, clicking and scroll wheeling. I had another kernel panic on Wednesday (running 10.1.3), so Apple still has some USB issues to work out.

On the positive side of things, the date problems I was having seem to have been cured. I no longer visit the wayback machine (Wednesday, December 31, 1969; a day that will live in infamy) on the return trip from kernel induced work stoppage.

Also, it might be my imagination (although I did it twice in a row after the update just to see), but 10.1.3 seems to get up and running quite a bit more quickly. It seems to spend a lot less time fussing around trying to get started. I don't see anything in the notes to shed a light on that, so I guess I'll have to ask around.
