I had the good fortune to share a train ride with Tim Bunce while leaving OSCON in 2006. We had a nice chat. Just found his blog and talk from this year’s OSCON — the slides are worth a read.

Watching the US VP debate right now.
Sure, Palin is cute. And she has that “sure, heckava lotta” folksy smiles. She keeps appealing to the good ol’ common sense of America, and when she smiles, I can feel red America getting redder.
Biden is kicking her butt. But I’m doubtful that the swing voters are hearing that.
Sun’s virtual machine is free and open source. And cool. I tried it out tonight with W2K and am impressed.
A long hiatus for a full summer and then some contract work.
Some benchmarks of the latest tokenization algorithm shows that pure-ASCII tokenization is about 20% faster and UTF-8 tokenization is about 2% slower. So I’ll take it.
Benchmark was performed by using perl/docmaker.pl to generate 100 random “docs” in both encodings (ASCII and random UTF-8) and then timed using swish_lint with and without the -t option.
Also recently fixed some failing tests on Linux and a memory warning.
Swish3 has a lot more tests that Swish-e (not counting Josh Rabinowitz’s excellent testing package). And as of tonight all Swish3 tests are passing under both Linux 2.6 (CentOS 5) and OS X 10.4. \o/
