RSS demo: I'll be speaking about Cocoon and RSS at Jax next week and I am thinking about doing a demo at the end of the presentation (breaking the #1 law of presentations - "Never do a real demo - it will fail on you"). The presentation is to focus on other uses of RSS (i.e. for example publishing job vacancies) and so I am wondering what to do. Any ideas out there? I could extract data out of the HSQL database and then publish that as RSS - but that idea is a bit "yawn". Needs to be simple - but effective - if you know what I mean.

He's back: Our roving XML reporter returns from XML Europe and writes up his thoughts. Seems to have been an interesting time and underlines what I said last year about OSCON: Meeting the people is at least - if not more - valuable than attending the sessions.
