hey @ndw, in https://t.co/38B7YLdu your examples r based on catalog 1.1 but the PUBLIC DTD is gone: http://t.co/lgX5G3Bx Ideas? Can U help?—@paginagmbh

@paginagmbh Drat. I thought we’d got that fixed. I believe I put everything up at http://t.co/KMvYFe3B Sorry for the inconvenience.—@ndw

@ndw Thanks for the tip! Any idea how we get OASIS to host the 1.1 schemas?—@paginagmbh

@paginagmbh I just need to close the loop with their folks, I expect. I’ll try to get to that in November.—@ndw

@ndw hey norman, any news on this? It would be really great if the PUBLIC uri points to an existing file...—@paginagmbh

Quickdraw did "point in region" in 128kb ROM in 1984. "@eedeebee: RT @ndw: The joy of timezones http://t.co/Nb6jG3U1vP #marklogic #geo"—@aljopainter

@aljopainter Point in one of tens of thousand of polygons with tens of thousands of vertices?—@ndw

@ndw But probably need more than the 128kb RAM from first Mac. (BTW: Was wrong, QuickDraw was originally in the 64kb ROM)—@aljopainter

@ndw Yes, in principle, singe region defined as "set of arbitrarily-complex polygons, possibly discontiguous". In practice, needs checking.—@aljopainter

I bet @tmobile’s new “no annual contract” plan doesn’t let me out of my current contract early.—@ndw

@ndw You can always sign up here: http://t.co/9twp40zpbG to let us know where to focus improvements. ^ZH—@TMobileHelp

@TMobileHelp Done. Thanks.—@ndw

@ndw Is it no coverage just inside your apartment? What happens when you're outside? ^ZH—@TMobileHelp

@TMobileHelp It’s slightly less marginal outside; there’s really just not enough coverage in this little valley.—@ndw

@ndw It doesn't because you rec'd either a discounted device or plan in return for completing 2 yrs w/ us. Why do you want to leave? ^ZH—@TMobileHelp

@TMobileHelp Because signal quality in my apartment is approximately zero. One bar on a good day.—@ndw

@ndw actually the WA AG went after them straight away for misleading advertising http://t.co/rkR9ywTmGy—@turchinc

@ndw @TMobile I'm not sure about that -- they were willing to let me do that, but my situation is complex with 5 people on the plan—@msokolov

@ndw Has it always been like that? What zip code are you in? ^ZH—@TMobileHelp

@TMobileHelp Every since I moved here a few months ago, 78746.—@ndw

My successful friends have all previously been losers. Are you saying ignore them until they win? -> RT @umairh: Don't hang out with losers.—@swardley

Software Development is 1 part technical knowledge, 1 part creativity, and 8 parts WHY THE FUCK DOESN'T THIS WORK?—@ALRubinger

Friday at 06:46pm

My god, do I have to pay bills again?! Didn't I just do that like 4 weeks ago!?—@RussB

time and again, the (actual) HTML5 spec feels like it's been created by someone with OCD who doesn't sweat the details, except when they do.—@johnallsopp

Saturday at 07:44pm

Amazingly, there really are people who think: "It would be unpleasant if X were true (e.g. no life after death), therefore X can't be true."—@RichardDawkins
