Posting Frequency
Notice I've been posting more lately? I have. At the day job, I've switched to an online note format (plain text + jEdit is an amazing combination).

It's probably not a coincidence that getting into the habit of posting your thoughts online carries over to the off hours. -m
DiDuca seeks to decrease role of government

Joe DiDuca, Paradise Town Councilmember and candidate in the District 5 supervisor race, is wary of government's intrusion into the private sector.

Is writing like electronics?
TV sets, inside, used to include a full schematic diagram. You'd unfold it, then again, and again, and again. There were huge, tablecloth-sized sheets. Back 'in the day', I used to go through these. You could point to any random symbol representing a component somewhere in the thing, and determine exactly what the purpose of that component was. What would happen if you suddenly yanked it out of a running TV?

That's how writing works. Every word, every sentence, every paragraph has to be active doing something for the piece.

To design a big circuit, you wouldn't start with a blank sheet and just start drawing components hooked together. You'd start with a general block diagram, then reduce that into smaller blocks, then figure out how everything interconnects, THEN start arranging individual components to make each block.

That's how writing works. You don't start with a blank page and write a story A to Z. You start with the big picture, flesh it out more, then finally down the the level of words. -m

Here's an interesting new Internet specification. Actually, I haven't looked at it in the slightest, but it has an 'X' in the name, so it must be good. -m
Off to L.A.
I'm on the way to the Gilbane Conference on Content Management. I'm part of the double-length session _ Electronic Forms & Content Management_, moderated by Bill Trippe and additionally featuring speakers from Microsoft and Adobe.

This will be my first speaking assignment for my new employer, Verity. In preparation, I have updated the UBL+XForms example to work much better with formsPlayer. Check it out. -m

Interestingly, Jon Udell's latest column at InfoWorld has the following title: "InfoWorld: E-mail’s many hats: April 23, 2004: By Jon Udell : APPLICATIONS". (because this will likely get mangled further in the publishing stream, that's a-circumflex, then two of what looks like an A-in-a-box instead of the apostrophe in "E-mail's".

Unicode is hard. Even if your content is fine, chances are good that your content management or publishing system will come in and muck things up. Actually, Unicode isn't what's hard--if the whole world used it exclusively we'd be sailing smooth--what's hard is transitions between encodings. Throw in a few unhelpful substitutions by Microsoft Office's aggravating, so-called "smart quotes" features, and you've got a mess on your hands.

Update: More related discussion. But not directly related. The web page is still titled oddly, as above. Also, interestingly, RSS readers and Atom readers see the above differently. Which just goes to show...
