Heading down to XSLT training at #MLUC10. I'm teaching how to mix XSLT and XQuery in the server this afternoon. Cool stuff,
I tell ya!—@ndw
@ndw oh yeah. course notes online?—@nicferrier
@nicferrier Sure. I'll get the notes up if I can.—@ndw
@ndw I remember when the general MarkLogic attitude was "why even bother with XSLT when
we have XQuery?" You must be a good influence.—@bobdc

First time riding backwards. Also first time with a seat that went completely flat.
The former, odd. The latter, very nice. 747 still my fav—@ndw
@ndw Re: riding backwards. What AC, what Airline (or are you rock stars only traveling
on private planes these days)? P.S. Great video.—@richardhamilton
@richardhamilton UA 54 from SFO to ORD. It was a 747, a 747-200, I think. The '47 is still my favorite
aircraft.—@ndw
@ndw 747 is my favorite, too, at least for long flights over water. I like the space and
the four engines:).—@richardhamilton

Explaining a hashtag convention to friend. Able to find lots of examples instantly
in my #MarkLogic based archive of 179,000+ tweets. #FTW—@ndw
@ndw hey, wrt 179k tweets, those just a blind grab, or you recurse through follower/following

I hate XML configuration files—@tommorris
@tommorris @ndw or server.xml vs lighty or nginx or dovecot or postfix. xml is crap for config files.—@nicferrier
@nicferrier I don't know server.xml, it may suck. I hold the eleventeen other random formats
I've had to decipher in equally low esteem.—@ndw

Aperture has had three dot releases fixing import issues each time and it's still
this bad. What do I do? Wait for a fourth?—@hunterhacker
@hunterhacker Lightroom—@abdelazer
@abdelazer Adobe? Steve would be so upset with me. :) Seriously, it can't import iPhoto data
either can it?—@hunterhacker
@hunterhacker true. iPhoto ftl—@abdelazer
@abdelazer @hunterhacker Lightroom uses sqlite, if iPhoto does too, SMOP. Seriously, I hacked keywords into
LR that way on migration.—@ndw
