		<title>w3c.recommend(xproc)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As an unabashed fan of the angle brackety type things, I&#8217;m chuffed to learn, via Norman Walsh,  that XProc is now a W3C recommendation. Congratulations to all the people who put in all the work to get it there.  Take &#8230; <a href="http://clownsinmycoffee.net/2010/05/11/83/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>On Bankers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s some unsolicited advice for performing long-distance one-off transactions with financial institutions: if your transaction is at all unusual and requires that documentation of some sort or another be passed around and notarized and suchlike &#8212; get the procedure documented.  &#8230; <a href="http://clownsinmycoffee.net/2010/02/06/on-bankers/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>On Nostalgia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a whiff of wistfulness out there on the &#8216;tubes for the passing of Sun Microsystems, and I&#8217;ve got to admit I&#8217;ve participated a bit in that; the absorption by Oracle of Sun&#8217;s assets certainly marks some kind of transition &#8230; <a href="http://clownsinmycoffee.net/2010/02/06/on-nostalgia/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>The Third G Drops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking of it as effectively a rumour up until now, but today, my Android phone started getting a 3G signal in Chapel Hill and Carrboro (that&#8217;s T-Mobile, in case you didn&#8217;t know). So, now I go from having &#8230; <a href="http://clownsinmycoffee.net/2009/09/24/the-third-g-drops/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>In Which I Become a Food Blogger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago, a friend pointed me to this magical stuff that turns fats into powders. T&#8217;other day, I finally got my hands on some of this tapioca maltodextrin, as it&#8217;s called; it&#8217;s a starch, and there&#8217;s really not much &#8230; <a href="http://clownsinmycoffee.net/2009/09/24/in-which-i-become-a-food-blogger/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Generating CSV from XML</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was helping a friend out recently who wanted to import some XML data he got into a more useful format [ ed. WHAT? err, useful to him, 'kay?].  It seems like there are a few services out there that &#8230; <a href="http://clownsinmycoffee.net/2009/05/14/generating-csv-from-xml/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>A Few Minutes With Apache Sling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apache Sling is almost painfully hip, in a way only a dedicated nerd could appreciate (or, ok, believe) &#8212; it provides a RESTful frontend to a Java Content Repository, and the whole thing is based on OSGi. Roughly, it gives &#8230; <a href="http://clownsinmycoffee.net/2008/11/26/a-few-minutes-with-apache-sling/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Straight Outta Victoria</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UVic&#8217;s Electronic Textual Cultures Lab encodes a song by some music guy in the Text Encoding Initiative XML format. There is, of course, a video. What I want to know is, does this mean XML is cool or hopelessly pass&#38;eacute;?  &#8230; <a href="http://clownsinmycoffee.net/2008/10/02/straight-outta-victoria/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Goings On About Town</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, there&#8217;s this small office in downtown Chapel Hill that used to have a paper &#8220;Google&#8221; banner in the window.  Today, on a trip past the Cosmic Cantina, I noticed that the window now has a more permanent logo for &#8230; <a href="http://clownsinmycoffee.net/2008/10/02/goings-on-about-town/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Fun With Copyright Renewal Records</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Based on an enormous amount of work by contributors to Project Gutenberg and the Distributed Proofreaders, combined with healthy sourcing of the US copyright office&#8217;s records, Google has compiled a a list of works originally copyrighted between 1923 and 1963 &#8230; <a href="http://clownsinmycoffee.net/2008/07/01/fun-with-copyright-renewal-records/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
