Make that: "Make damned sure no door closes until another door is ajar"!

Cool--I can't think of a better place to apply the full power of Norm.

Cheers,

Wow! Congratulations on the move.

Speaking from experience, there is something very refreshing about coming back to something you know really well after being gone for a time.

I hope you have as much fun as I'm having!

Oh excellent. I trust that there's a good chance of seeing either XSLT support from MarkLogic or an XQuery form of the docbook stylesheets "soon."

Wow, congrats. I guess the MarkLogic people listened when various folks (myself included) said things like "or you could just hire Norm."

Congratulations, Norm! Mark Logic has a very cool product, and I can only imagine how much more cool functionality will be added once you start working with it!

Leaving Sun was tough, and folks will be missed. That said, it was the best move I ever made. It's interesting to see problems from a different perspective. Sometimes you can get too comfortable, too.

I'll second Gavin's comment. We love your stylesheets... we love Mark Logic... bring them together please.

Sounds like a great move! Congratulations :)

Some day, data and documents will live in peace together...

Congrats, Norm! Following your heart is never a mistake.

nice move for you! you might want to change your disclaimer as you are no longer with sun ;-)

It's still April, Philip. The disclaimer will change on Monday when my employer does. :-)

Mark Logic is lucky to have you, Norm. Congrats and have fun with the new gig.

Oh, and that standards thing? Take no prisoners. Standards, rule.

Best wishes in your new adventure. Sounds like it will be great fun.

In the beginning was the document and the document was ...

I tend to agree!

Congratulations, Norm! I hope you enjoy your new environment.

Documents Rule! Someone (you) remembered that XML was all about freeing all the information hidden in documents! Good luck.

Congratulations on the move to MarkLogic. My experiences with them have been uniformly enjoyable, engaging, and insightful, and I expect them to be going places. With you on board, that expectation is only confirmed.

Norm, Congrats! Best of luck with it. Sean

Congratulations and best of luck, Norm. Perhaps the phrase is "As the Sun sets today, a new dawn awaits you tomorrow."

So does this mean Mark Logic now has a higher per capita percentage of O'Reilly authors than anyone but O'Reilly? :-)

I just recently got a pointer to http://markmail.org/ via an email list I read and thought that was pretty cool. (http://nanog.markmail.org/ was the specific site).

Well done Norm. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Sounds like you've found a place where you can make even more of your many talents. Cheers, Tony.

Good for you Norm. Best wishes in your new role!
