Service Blog Soon

I received many responses to the previous blog. Okay, so no one actually posted a comment or sent me an e-mail. For that matter, no person did anything whatsoever in response to it. However, my car, not wanting to be outdone by some A-Team has-been, now speaks to me. For the most part, it just says "Service Engine Soon", and does quite a bit of grumbling when driven. Oh, and sometimes it says "I pity the fool that writes pointless postings in a weblog."

I also am not one to be outdone by others, and I am contemplating integrating an XML format into this blog. For those who are not in the know, XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. In this format, there are tags which describe the content which can be found on a site. For example, a site might have the following:
(description)Don't come to this site, it's riduculously pointless(/description)
where (description) is the beginning tag, (/description) is the ending tag and the junk in between is the actual description. Then you can run a program from your computer which reads these tags and can report back to you what the description is, or what you could find on the site at that particular moment. I believe in order to usefully incorporate XML, I will need the following tags:

(BadPoliticianOfTheDay)
(RidiculousNewsStoryOfTheDay)
(SpanishWordOfTheDay)
(FakeEnglishTranslationOfTheDay)

[Blogger's baaaad feeling: there is certainly an danger in quick descriptions of new technology and a following joke based on the technology. If this joke has fell flat on its face with you, may I recommend taking an XML course at a local community college, and return to the blog with your newfound knowledge. You will then find it cheesy but understandable.]

That's all for today, here is the Spanish vocabulary for today:

Spanish Word: Pescados De Altavista Babel
English Word: Altavista Babel Fish

Blogger's Update: previously, the tags had not shown up, but I have now corrected the situation...by replacing ">" and "<" with ")" and "(". Rock on, technology!
