i've played with
xul
on and off
over the years
and while it's easy to see the potential of a markup language for
describing user interfaces, my general impression has been that it
has been languishing on the vine. i think there are a lot of
reasons for this not least of them is the fact that there are some
fairly big disincentives for learning and developing a
mozilla
-specific technology [ no offense intended ].
so i was a bit surprised to see that
apple
has put a little
xul support
in safari 1.1 which comes with
panther
. and if that's not enough, if looks like
microsoft
is putting together its own competing effort called
xaml
, which is sure to create a brave new world of competing
implementations and cross-browser compatibility issues. dave shea does a good job of summarizing the stakes.
“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”
the complete tales & poems of winnie the poohthis site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.
he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.
if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
