“A keynote in six pictures.” Alas, my Google+ autoformatter did something weird with
the pictures :-/ http://norman.walsh.name/2013/gplus/z13mghoibmuzz53cu23jsze54mbrj10pp04 #XMLAmsterdam—@ndw

Eight hours on a plane. Piperack, a restful #XMLCalabash server mostly works. Restlets for @alexmilowski—@ndw
@ndw sounds cool! will it be on github ? Funny we also use Restlet in our “DAISY Pipeline”
stuff ;)—@rdeltour
@ndw Restlets? Please explain for us slow people.—@alexmilowski
@ndw Yes, I have. I already have an integration with Calabash. You're welcome to the
code. It has a bunch of nice endpoint binding bits.—@alexmilowski
@alexmilowski I just wrote the restful service parts for Piperack with restlets.—@ndw
@ndw Piperack?—@alexmilowski
@alexmilowski Wrote it on the plane back from AMS. Lightweight web server that runs XProc pipelines.
Suggested by someone at #XMLAmsterdam—@ndw
@grtjn I guess it's more dedicated. Using Servlex, it'd have taken way less than 8h :-)
http://servlex.net/ @ndw @alexmilowski Any link?—@fgeorges
@ndw Thanks, fixed now. BTW, the doc on http://servlex.net is more up-to-date, when available (in Install and Config).—@fgeorges
@fgeorges @grtjn @ndw Right now it is mixed up with the Atomojo APP server but is completely separable.
http://code.google.com/p/atomojo/—@alexmilowski
@ndw Hah! I have that too in Restlet. That's what all my #MarkLogic / http://www.mesonet.info/ / http://milowski.com code runs on. ;)—@alexmilowski
@ndw Piperack is a better name than what I have. Code might need to be merged.—@alexmilowski
@alexmilowski I'll commit it this week so you can critique it. I'm quite pleased with how it came
out.—@ndw

@ndw Thinking about supporting XML Catalogs. Is using Apache impl reasonable? I see you

Weblog posting about Piperack will have to wait until tomorrow, but in the meantime,
there’s http://xmlcalabash.com/docs/reference/piperack.html—@ndw

Oh, and just FYI: Passed 768 of 768 tests (100.00%) on 28 Oct 2013 at 06:47p. http://tests.xproc.org/results/calabash/—@ndw

@ndw Can I assist with your Maven woes?—@adamretter

"a good craftsman doesn't blame his tools" he muttered to himself while using Word
to edit live source code on the production box via NFS—@garybernhardt

Am I the only one annoyed by websites that make “sign up” more prominent than “sign
in”? I get wanting to make it easy for new users, but...—@ndw
@ndw I created multiple accounts on websites of same reason. Feels unlogical that what
you do everytime but first is the discreter function.—@MarieBilde
@ndw Nope, I am with you. Everyone wants to own the customer and some do not get the difference
of authentication vs authorization I bet.—@umityalcinalp

I have two branches at github and to local dev branches. Merging one “just works”
merging the other forces a new commit msg. Huh?—@ndw

Frying habeñeros. #thingsthatmakemewishtherangeexhaustfanwasuseful—@ndw

"U.S. letter size was still being disputed up to the 1980s, when President Ronald
Reagan proclaimed 8.5 x 11 the standard." *sigh*—@alexmilowski
@alexmilowski A4 for the win, damnit.—@ndw

No one could have predicted giving govts extraordinary powers to fight anything called
"terrorism" would lead to calling anything terrorism.—@KagroX

If I go Linux instead of Mavericks, what’s the right laptop choice? High end, all
knobs turned to eleven.—@ndw
@ndw I've been very happy with my Malibal+Mint setup. If I were traveling more I'd probably
go lighter though—@distobj
@ndw I don't know but I'll probably be looking for one next year, so let us know when
you find it.—@docum3nt
@ndw a mate has the quad-ssd sony... blistering fast, but had to go for repairs.—@andrewwelch
