blogflying or skysurfing

BBC: "On 15 January Lufthansa will start offering travellers the ability to surf the net and send and receive e-mails in real time as they fly." [Scripting News]

Excellent stuff! I hope all the major airlines follow suit, especially for long flights. In particular

During the trial passengers who want to use the net while they fly will have to use their own laptop and connect either via a traditional ethernet connection or a wireless link

Thats exactly what I want when I'm on a plane; especially over WiFi.

The Search for the XML Oriented Programming Language

The Search for the XML Oriented Programming Language. ...  So I predict that 2003 will be the year we all experience the search for the true meaning of "XML oriented programming"!... [TheArchitect.co.uk - Jorgen Thelin's weblog]

Agreed. There are already various kinds of scripting languages using XML (or XML-like) syntax from ColdFusion to ASP, JSP, XSP, MN8, XSLT, Cocoon, Jelly etc.

XML is a text encoding format and so I can't help thinking that there will always be lots of different ways to process XML based exactly what you're doing, whether it be based on DOM APIs, event based (SAX, StAX), data binding (like in Axis or JAXB), via XPath and XSLT or via event based path languages and transformations like STX. 

When XML is used just as a file encoding to interchange data between programs, it works like a charm. When people try to adopt universal APIs, logical models or programming paradigms for XML is often where the trouble starts and things tend to splinter fast.

If any kind of XML Orientated Programming Language is to take off, at a minumum I'd say it should provide support for event based processing, XPath and probably data binding too. Easy integration with existing languages like Java, python and JavaScript would be a bonus.

Fascinating stuff - I'd never realised that before.

Welcome aboard the blog-bus Costin - am subscribed.

Any chance you can swizzle your RSS feed configuration to include all of your posts in the RSS feed? It helps those of us with news aggretators to read all of your posts in the same window.
