Summer school
Summer School Hey-ho, collegiate life for me. I'm at the XML Summer School at Wadham College, Oxford. A room, an Ethernet connection and colleagues like Elaine Brennan, teaching here on her way to WorldCon in Glasgow. After a candlelit dinner in the 17th-century dining hall, long conversations in the bar about SF writer Chip Delany, poet Marilyn Hacker (whose recent collection Desesperanto I have by my bedside here) and XML namespaces. It's not just the C5 cable organiser Kerry Poulter found for me: sometimes my world feels very tightly connected.
This morning Candace Partridge is helping me learn to use XLST to transform XML trees and Peter Flynn promises to show me more of XML and typesetting. Just where I should be.
