I agree 100% with Deborah: torture is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!! We live in a democracy! Not a stinkin' police state that tortures people! This ridiculous "meme" must be stopped! 8:34:51 PM

Slashdot: With XML, is the Time Right for Hierarchical DBs?   Oh yes. I've spent my whole career getting ready for the Slashdot folks to ask this question [Scripting News] - Oh man, although I've skimmed CJ Date's wonderfully baroque relational database books and papers, I've never really grokked these types of databases, but hierarchical ones make sense to me! Fortunately, for my next website, I will probably use a relational database and I am therefore well on the road to figuring relational databases out now but OO and hierarchical databases are STILL much more intuitive to me! 8:27:07 PM

OddTodd is making a little bit of money off his hilarious Flash movie about being laid off according to this Wired article. But alas, he doesn't have a job yet. I hope he gets one soon. Anybody with his creativity deserves one! 12:20:22 AM

New paper on the design of RELAX NG. James Clark has released a paper describing his perspective on the design of the RELAX NG XML schema language. [xmlhack] - Something to read on a cold, rainy day :-) Seriously I love these design papers. I dislike C++'s unecessarily baroque complexity but I loved Stroustrup'a apologia aka The Design and Evolution of C++ 12:09:30 AM
