Well, first things first. It looks like my 1st Extreme XML column is out. Which is cool except for the fact that I think my face is too dark on my picture on the columns page. Plus they picked the pic where they made me do the goofy cross-your-hands-and-form-an-X pose.

After watching Attack of the Clones yesterday, something clicked that had been bothering me for over a decade about Return of the Jedi. I have a pet theory that some disagree with that puts some of the more irritating aspects of Return of the Jedi in perspective.

The most significant happening over the past week was an interesting sexual proposition that was made to me last night in a downtown Seattle nightclub.

More details below including happenstances around my 1st MSDN column, some ragging on elitist programmers with weblogs, a surprise liking for a particular boyband, a weird rest room exchange, a rather insightful K5 post, and an amusing link of the day.

While browsing Sam Ruby's blog I decided to click on his "related" side bar and came across Keith Ballinger's blog in where he mentions he made a mistake which was corrected by Simon Fell. The mistake was that Keith mentions that one can tell the type of an XML document by looking at the default namespace. Simon's correction was that one can tell the type of an XML document by looking at the QName of the root element. Simon's correction is misleading on at least two levels.

Looks like my days of living high on the hog with my own office have come screeching to a halt. Now some of the Hailstorm team merged with us we no longer have the luxury everyone on the team having offices. Since office allocation is based on seniority (number of years at MSFT not rank/level per se) then it looks like I'm high on the list of people who'll have to share an office.

FUCK!!!
