More software for you. "All for you, Mulder, I do it all for you!" (What? An inside joke.) Um, I revamped the XML/XSL Editor for IE 5, 5.5 and Netscape 6.1. Update on 09/21/01: Added support for IE6 as well. Makes my life a tiny bit easier. There's lots of XSL transformation in my job right now. I'll need to add different parsers to the editor soon.
Did you know that SPAN elements aren't intended to respond to width, height, margin-top, or margin-bottom? That seems counter-intuitive to me.
The not-so-Great-Game. Dad called me "Little Friend of all the World." (Kipling, Kim) That cheered me immensely. Speaking of which...Hey, Dad. This is the Great Game once again, isn't it? [Some others in the U.K. are mining that historical vein as well] Peshawar, Lahore, The Great Trunk Road, The Great Satan (America+U.K.+Europe instead of just Greater Britain), imperialism, rebellion, fundamentalism, secrecy, karma, the Circle of Life... and far too much demonization of the Other on both sides...
The toast goes, "May you live in interesting times" but I would've been content with everyone still alive and unending back-to-back re-runs of Mama's Family...
My search was timing out. But it's fixed now. And for those of you still searching...the WORD HTML Cleaner is to be found here at Textism. Who, by the way, brightened my day with an off-hand Big Night reference.
By air, by land, by sea? On today's Talk of The Nation on NPR, a caller reminded Oakland mayor Jerry Brown of something that's been disturbing me every time I cross the Bay Bridge. A hijacked sea freighter would be exceedingly effective at delivering large, hard-to-transport weapons to a target's port. (Look at the Port of Oakland, for example. See all those HANJIN bins?) The caller claimed that only bills-of-lading and manifests are inspected and not the containers themselves since inspections of all sea-borne freight would be costly.
I'm not sure I believe the caller, but...well, I'll do a little research if I get the time.
