Blasphemy!
At this very moment, Linus Torvalds has a massive 42 vote lead on the next closest contender for the Twenty Top Software People in the World. Unfortunately, that next closest contender is Alan Turing. Blasphemy! This is just wrong on so many levels. I have a ton of respect for Linus and all but come on people, if you go to this site and don't use a vote on Turing you need to get your head examined. The closest Linus should come to Turing is a tie: if every single visitor to the site votes for both.
But the world doesn't work that way
I was searching for a specific piece of Dive into Python when I ran into this classic from diveintomark.org:
Tom: "This is really good. You could probably make some money off this someday."
Mark: "Maybe, but I'm not going to. I'm giving it away for free."
Tom: "Why would you do that?"
Mark: "Because this is the way I want the world to work."
Tom: "But the world doesn't work that way."
Mark: "Mine does."
I had to pour out a little liquor for my homies.

More on cross-breading ZPT and XSLT - Transformation Templates in Kid
This is the second post in response to cross-breading ZPT and XSLT. I'd like to dig into how I'd like templating to work in Kid and Leslie opens the door for me:
... maybe this is the sort of thing Ryan's thinking about-- I wonder how hard it would be to hack this into Kid? It would give only a subset of XSLT's capabilities in trade for simplicity, and would only offer the
pullapproach, but it would give XML-pipelining to a ZPT-ish technology.
